Cmon Charlie. It costed you no money not to say anything. U DIDN'T HAVE TO DO IT
Basically: create the problem, sell the solution.
Basically the only thing TPCi has been doing since 2002. Gen 3? Remove nat dex due to hardware issues, sell 186 mons for more than a PS4. Gen 6? Remove transferring mons, sell it back with Bank (and then triple the price 6 years later). Need to update the game? Sell the DLC for full price and in physical form no less (thank Arceus this shit ended). Paywall, paywall, paywall. I'll be honest here, the national dex should've been promptly killed with gen 3. Way too much room for unethical bullshit
The only franchise in all of console and PC gaming with a worse model is FIFA imo, which is worse than Raid business wise
Pretty much
For allot of money

If this is how the Sinnoh remakes are gonna be, I REALLY don't want them anymore. I'd rather have no Sinnoh remakes at all than Sinnoh remakes with this level of "quality."
They're gonna be bad. Accept your fate..
We already know how they treat remakes these days with ORAS and Let's Go- they slap a new coat of paint on the game that you bought 20 years ago for $30 and charge you $60 for it. Personally, I've given up on pokemon after SuMo. It was fun while it lasted, and I'm sure it's still fun for people just getting into the series, but getting older and seeing what _good_ games look like make it impossible to keep accepting mediocrity.
If sinnoh is like this USUM are my final frontier
@@Silburific I personally though ORAS was pretty good. Although that might just be because Ruby and Sapphire were the only main-series games I hadn't played through, so I was basically playing an entirely new game. Lets Go was a fucking joke though, I felt like an idiot for buying it after I finished it. I enjoyed SWSH as I was playing it but I'll never go back to it. The more I think about the national dex being cut the more angry I get. Unless there's a massive change I think I'm gonna give up on the franchise too. Really upsetting as pokemon diamond was my first pokemon game and I'd love for it to have a great remake. It really doesn't seem likely though and I'd hate to stick around and see my most nostalgic game get shit on. The latest games I thoroughly enjoyed and still replay to this day are B2W2, but I feel like we'll never get anything that's up to gen 5's quality again. The series really peaked at Unova.
Silburific 17 uhh ORAS got universal praise for being a remake to the point where IGN got memed hard for their comment and rating.
Pokémon can definitely pull a Capcom and dish out a gem, but they know they don’t have to. Most video game companies would kill to be in their spot where mediocrity sells more than 10/10 games. That’s business though sadly

The DS had the function to record chatot sounds. I would like seing this being addd back, but more as a text to speech, with crazy restrictions. Or even changing single tracks o the game up, like: "Man Bede theme kinda boppin, but Hop theme trash...Let me put Bede them for every theme."
And Jigglypuff from the GB
The biggest offender was the hallways they insulted our intelligence with by calling them a town
Or the unnamed caves that take 2 minutes to traverse yet you have an infinite escape rope for them
@@coheteos I legit forgot the game had escape rope as key item lol
@@flysoup3607 So was the town that Team Skull occupied in gen 7 and but that wasn't a corridor. That town SwSh was lazy as fuck. Thats all there is to it.
Both the multi exp and escape ropes being key items are very good things.
@@Absinthis The multi exp shouldn't be mandatory. Give the players the choice to turn it off. And the escape rope key item is fine but the problem is the caves aren't deep or even complex enough to actually warrant any usage of escape rope. Infinite escape rope is pointless if the player never needs to use it since most if not all areas are nothing but shallow corridors.
The Piers scene made me want to recoil backwards until my spine broke
Ikr, when I saw it I felt so uncomfortable. Like you can hear his clothes rustling and his feet tapping the ground but there's just... nothing else, it's so fucking ominious.

They didn't even add anything of interest in the dlc
and now it’s free.
@@cvxsrdd0t592 what free?
The game is 60 euro on the eshop and 30 euro for the dlc the fuck you mean free?!?!
I’m not spending 90$ to complete the games experience when I could have a vastly superior experience from Hg, Ss, DPP or ORAS and the black and white games
Heck I could spend half that on Digimon Story and get two games with about the same graphical quality but much better story , mons that actually animate and way more content in general.

Story? What story? Anytime anything happens the adults are like: "Just continue your Gym challenges. I'll take care of it. Oh and if the single road forward didn't tell you where to go, lemme tell you in detail. Every time."
I know that this isn't your point, but I gotta admit that's pretty realistic. No adult would expect a kid to advert an ongoing crisis.
@@dreamcatcherpone And that realism completely removed the feeling of adventure. Becoming a Pokemon trainer is now just a tradition we must slog through because it's tradition...

@@dreamcatcherpone ah yes, because its totally realistic for a 20 year old to be able to travel the world by themselves with no problem. But sure, let's add realism in these games now for some reason
@@dreamcatcherpone I don't think anyone plays Pokemon for "realism" 😆
There is no more love or dedication in these games. It's become a cash cow that strictly sells itself on nostalgia and brand recognition. There's no way I'm buying a $30 expansion pass for a game that was so lazily developed, that's just encouraging bad business practices
After finishing this game, I immediately thought "Wow, that was fun... But terrible". To sum up the vibe of this game, it feels like you're playing an alpha test.
Yeah like with sun and moon for me you felt sad when characters left the region and the development of guzma it was bitter sweet
Name Name I totally agree with you! The characters in sun and moon in my opinion are one of the most lovable characters in the Pokémon games and just fun. The ones we have in sword and shield are literally their knockoff versions
Darkrai Gamer2907 especially Lillie she was a shocker, thinking she was gonna be the doormat and weak one of the story but no
She came over her mom and really grew stronger, in the ultra post games she fights someone by her self. Here the characters are cool but don’t really stick- hop dose tho hop is really cool
This Cake Example at the beginning is great.
Just today i heard another one saying that one shouldnt care. You have no right to expect anything (even though you pay money AND loyality, but that doesnt matters apparently).
You have no right to expect Quality or even literally-made Promises to be kept. No, just accept everything as it is.
Thanks, dark middle ages, thanks. Your opinion has been received.
Gamefreak will probably not wake up if delusional Fans keep being delusional, making being delusional the 'cool thing to be'...
"Why bring back Regional Forms? That makes no sense."
Wow, you sound so stupid in that moment. The exact opposite is true, it would have not made Sense to introduce Regional Changes/Forms into the Franchise and then only have this in one region only. That would be completly nonsensical no-logic Nonsense.
And that's literally not mentioning how much Regional Forms can fix Pokemon and Evolution Lines.

Comparing almost any game to hk is dirty, the game is too fucking good for it price
I agree with all your points untill your expansion pass section. The real solution would have been to release the dlc for free as an apology for trying to blatantly lie to the people buying their product,and show that they are making a turn for the company away from the greedy practices recently
I'd be more inclined to buy SwSh if they did that, but the game has already made well over a billion dollars off the casual audience, so why would they be bothered to care about the core community? We aren't the money makers anymore.
@@TheAbsol7448 And the sad part is that the casual audience are the ones who downloaded PkGo and played for a week, then never touched it again. These are not the people they should cater to, I wish Iwata was still in charge bc he would never let this kind of thing happen.
@@bobbilly6520 Since he's no longer with us, I think it's best if either Game Freak goes through some internal changes, or core Pokémon gets handed off to another studio, preferably Monolith Soft.
@@TheAbsol7448 I couldn't agree more, I've always felt GF is still on handheld gaming level and can't really handle console level development. There's tons of amateur mistakes data miners have found in SwSh that unnecessarily bloat the game and took up a lot of potential data that could have been used elsewhere.
@@bobbilly6520 I believe they could if they wanted to, they just don't care enough to be motivated.
The day they make a game like Breath of the wild with pokemon is when people will be happy I think. An open-world game where you travel far and wide with your pokemon is what everyone wants. It's a giant leap, but if they trusted players then it would be insane. Like sure you could stumble into a cave and get your shit rocked by a steelix when you have a bulbasaur, but that's a story to tell and then you can come back later with a stronger team and strategize.
they'll forget to let them walk behind you in that hypothetical game as well lmao
Pokemon Clear Crystal! It’s a Rom hack of og crystal which lets you take on the 16 gyms in any order you want.
All they gotta do is a skyrim or breath of the wild style game with difficulty settings and a good story and characters and the shit would be epic
Look up Temtem and Kindred Fates.
Also look up Pokemon MMO, if you want something relatively close, available right now.
My point being, do not expect GF or TPC to do that. They know you want it, but they won't do it because they know they can just earn more money by half-assing more main titles.
Like.... make a "remake" that includes all regions with all the correct Pokemon in said regions? Maybe a game with trainer stats that could allow you to be a different type of trainer each playthrough, like catcher, battler, and breeder? Maybe a shift away from turn based combat and into ATB combat? Perhaps a Pokemon game that doesn't revolve around a nonsensical evil team?
Also taking about their obsession with Kanto, at the start of the game in your characters room, ya got 3 posters of the top 3 pokemon in galar, a Charizard, Gengar and a Machamp. The Champions signature pokemon is a Charizard.
if even the people in galar dont like galar's pokemon, why would i?
@@xmangle5382 just saying that they could at least use Jotho pokemon.
Eh, I can understand the idea behind favoritism, but to me it just shows that the world is boxed simply by region. It would have worked though if there was an actual balance between the region pokemon and the outside region Pokémon
I would like to note the expansion hasn’t fixed anything
I agree, the game as a whole is still bland. I started a new game and was able to complete the DLC main quest before the 3rd gym. The only interesting thing about that, instead of doing it post game, is having a wider range of Pokemon for your team. Urshifu is cool but not worth $30 and the experience left me uninterested in the Tundra DLC part. I regret buying the game digitally, otherwise I'd return it and get a different game instead.
Rockin Rootbeer don’t get me wrong I enjoy this Pokémon game, but the fact that they straight up lied about every😂
@@pfistner9542
I also enjoyed it for a bit, enough to do a full play through Sword AND Shield. But it was such a slog to get through the story and the map design is uninspiring. I'm also very upset Game Freak/Pokemon Company lied about how they were sacrifising half the dex for """better quality""" animations 😒
Rockin Rootbeer exactly! I loved playing through Platinum and black and white as well as the others! But I can’t with this. I don’t have the motivation to try to start over.
It fixed a few things
What story are you praising??? The gym challenge isn't the story. The actual story plot with rose is absolutely shit tho.
I don't even think it reaches the levels of being shit. It's more like "non-existent"
@@MatheusSM1000 Yeah it was sorta just slapped on five minutes before the end of the game.
@@MatheusSM1000 It would be great if it was non existent, that would mean that you are free to explore but no, you are on rails and being held by the hand again.
Yep there no story until the final battle, Literally everything interesting that ahppens happens off screen when the "adults" shoo you away back to the gym battles and any place of real interest is a facade in the background because there are no dungeons or side plots to explore.
I usually like the story. But this one is boring and Hop was annoying. As much as I love Sonia because of other reasons, but uuuggghhh I don't care about the ancient kaiju battle.
The expansion pass is like buying a really expensive sandwich from a fancy restaurant but only being given the bread and then being told, "You can pay extra to have us complete it for you."
Why wasn't it there in the first place.
I think it matters on your opinions of the game. I enjoy playing the game, I think the expansion pass could be cheaper but I’m fine with the price overall.
@@robe9759 So you're cool with paying $90 total when it used to be less than half? Jeez dude, that's some disposable income if you can double the price of your game purchases without asking for anything in return.
Big Jay I’m willing to pay most prices as long as I think I’ll enjoy it, and from what I’ve seen of the dlc I believe I will enjoy it.
@@robe9759 I feel like you don't deserve to be ripped off.
Big Jay I got paid today.im going to go bye the dlc
There is no story literally almost nothing important happens besides Bede getting eliminated and the last hour of the game.
5:30 Going to recieve hate, but Marnie does not feel like an actual person. I half expected her to be a revealed as some sort of cyborg by the end of the story
I was expecting her to be a lot more... punk rock. Kinda disappointing.
LMAO this is the biggest insult I’ve ever seen towards a character in anything and it wasn’t even meant as an insult hahahahaha
I don't see what was so great about the story... all they did was shoehorn you into just going to the next gym with nothing interesting in between. Like the moment when Leon says: "Pokemon are randomly dynamaxing, we gotta help! except not you, Im the champion so i can deal with this. You just go beat the next pushover of a gym leader". Like thanks for telling me that you're doing cool things Leon, maybe i can do something cool next time? Imagine if they did that in the older games "oh no, team rocket took over silph co and is holding everyone hostage. dont worry about it, your rival will take care of it for you. we wouldnt want the player to be distracted from beating the next gym". Also the fact that the game keep insisting on healing your party all the damn time just kills any sense of tension that they try to build up. It felt like a game with nothing to do but beat the gyms while the older games had small adventures in between the gyms that breaks up the formula a bit. Then when they finally decide to add some content that isnt just about beating the gyms they have the nerve to charge an extra 30$ for it. I'm sorry, but count me out...
My favorite things about sword and shield was probably the gym leader desings, the music, and i liked the new pokemon designs. the rest felt either neutral or bad to me
The story was hot garbage. But then I realized I’m not 10, I’m a grown ass adult that shouldn’t expect any driven story from Pokémon, and that put me at peace a little more. If I want story I play Three Houses.
Pokémon is fully capable of making amazing stories as shown in their movies and manga, but sadly gamefreak is uh...openly stubborn, to put it lightly.
@@SpaceCowboyTV I dont know, i feel like they should at least try to match the experience of previous titles. Especially since its the most expensive pokemon game to date.
Im not even asking for an amazing and deep story in pokemon either. Just something to do outside defeating gyms which all pokemon games that i have played previously provides (ruby, emerald, fire red, pearl)
@@flysoup3607 i would agree if they didnt heal you fully way more than you actually planed on going to pokemon centers. I really didnt need a full heal in between every single grunt that i oneshot without taking any damage at the elevator gauntlet for instance. Its like the game is afraid to have any challenge of attrition at all and instead of them having tastefull healing locations they just spam you with heals over and over making it feel like its not supposed to be a challenge at all. Not to mention that you already can circumvent going to the center by buyibg potions and revives etc.
It doesnt feel like the game trusts the player at all
@@gentlecat7735 GF really needs to get away from their mentality of not allowing the player to fail. YES players fail sometimes. most people don't mind losing at least a few times. in fact hard games are often respected due to their difficulty. and no, not even kids will just give up. in fact they're more likely to lose interest due to a *lack* of difficulty
I think in part the reason they had Leon do everything is because people have complained that gym leaders and stuff never do anything. (even though that's untrue)
It is a fantastic game with a good story line, enough puzzles, amazing graphics and interesting character development and a whole open world to discover.
Of course I am talking about Zelda BOTW
Jolly good show partner.
Jolly good show partner. (2)
"good story line"
Yeah being a side character is a good story and everything interesting is thrown away tottaly good story
Merciless Freak I’m sure he did.
I was about to say BITCH WHAT THE FUCK. Till I read you said botw which i bought at the same time as sword and shield and I spend WAAAAYYYY more time playing botw.
I actually really liked that the wild area had high level Pokémon. I never understood why anime characters ran from Pokémon in the anime but I truly understood taking my level 12 Pokémon into a fight with a level 30. However it’s unfair you can’t catch them since high level Pokémon don’t listen to you anyway
a good strategic player should be rewarded for being able to break the limits of standard gameplay. GF seems to just entirely miss this aspect of good game design. you can't restrict your player to only one path when you leave options open. its something the series has struggled with, yet it's been passable. it just becomes emphasized and blatantly apparent now since it makes literally no sense outside of a desire to restrict the player from alternate self-imposed challenges or styles of play
So you never understood that the anime is completely different from the game?
A dlc isn’t a good fix they literally said that the dlc was in the making AT THE SAME TIME AS THE BASE GAME. Don’t tell me it’s a good thing when they could’ve just waited an extra year to launch the game for 60$ with better graphics and the dlc included.
Not to mention when they move the servers to their new system you will never be able to pick up sword or shield and get the dlc since you know no internet suport for old console
Imagine buying a $30 Shit Sprinkle expansion pass for your $60 Piss Cake. 0/10, would not buy.

Jay Dee x and y weren’t bad like at all I do like black and white 2 better but x and y added so many new features
@@jayDee92133 It's not, SwSh didn't even have a true villain to carry the story, just some dumbass who tried to rush to fix an issue millenia in advance. X and Y story was as basic as Gen 1 but at least it had a story. Swsh on the other hand doesn't get you involve in the story until you're in the Pokemon League. Before that the game goes out of it's way to keep you away from anything interesting that might happen. A giant Pokemon is rampaging on the next route? What's that you want to battle it? Oh don't worry, Leon will take care of it for you. Just go to the next gym and rinse and repeat until you're done.
The problem with DLC is that now you HAVE to spend extra money. I always just waited for the third version to come out. I would have to spend 90 dollars instead of just the 40 that the third versions were originally.
And people defend it saying 30$ is cheaper than 60$ and I'm sitting here like what? xD
Watch them release a third version
The real problem will come when they shut down the servers and you wont be able to get the dlc in the future making this the worst games in the series period the dlc might fix some issues but only if you can get it and since the servers will be gone welp try playing it in 10 years from now not to mention the patches oh god this is why games should be made good from the start and not after release

USUM were actually great games for the most part. Annoying handholding, but they made up for it with some truly difficult battles.
@@Jozombies115 Yes that's what I wrote.

I get this is going for a mediated response, but I can't even begin to think about $90 for still less than what $40 used to get.
exactly. if they AT LEAST sold the updated version for a lower price than the grand total $90 (even 75 could be good) it would make sense. but no, if you bought the game already you have to pay half the initial price in order to have your game finished / fixed. and in the case you *didn't* get the game already, you have to pay $90 for a 'complete' game that even then only just makes up for its $60 price tag
is too much money for a freaking average game xD

Switch is more powerful than the Wii, and yet this game inferior in animations to Battle Revolution. You can argue that Revolution had less Pokemon, but Sword and Shield at the beginning cut enough where that shouldn't have mattered. Pokemon Revolution came out 14 years ago btw.
i actually think battle revolution might have had more pokemon, since SWSH has 400 and battle revolution goes through sinnoh, which has 493
Stel Key also Battle Revolution was developed by Genius Sonority.
@@Hyper_Drud Pretty much any spin off not made directly by Game Freak has loads better animations. Just give it to Genius again. Make Colosseum 3

Hop gave me terminal depression, Sonia is literally just exposition, Piers would be my favorite character if his entire gimmick didn‘t even work because there‘s no voice acting.
The national dex cut not only removed most of the Pokémon from previous games, it led to one chat room I was in to go full 1984 to silence anyone that wanted to talk about Pokémon in any rational manner.
Want to try and rationalize why they might have done the cut? “Fuck you, shut up!”
Want to pose a question about the subject in any form- “Fuck off, stop talking”
Just talk about any Pokémon game before Sword and shield? “Off to the gulag!”
The camps that are for and against the cut have their pros and cons but, when you have people who get high off the kool-aid and saying that the cut was fine and even go so far as defend gamefreak by try to silence you by force, it really makes you question things.
Saying "I'm exciting for the next pokemon game" at this point is the same as to say "I can change him/her" when you're in abusive relationship.
Honestly I can't believe that you would compare literal abuse to a game you don't like.
@@maddensnotfunny I can. Make no mistake, gamers are being abused by the industry, which is shoveling crap down our mouths because they think we'll just continue to shut up and take it. Just like an abusive partner, they manipulate our emotions and feelings to keep us hooked, only to leave us high and dry everytime.
More like im excited for the next sonic game
@@ShadowSaberBaroxio Seriously disgusting. People are dying every day in domestic abuse-ridden households, and you're sitting here trying to compare a real life horror story to a company making poor quality video games. Why dont you go to a hotline website and listen to some abused wives and husbands contemplate suicide, or read about the 12-16 year old kids who have murdered their parents because they understood that to be the only escape from the abuse? You're a joke of a person if your morals are really that bad.
@@ThisCatIsBored There are many different ways in which people are abused by other people, and many different degrees of that abuse. I'm obviously not suggesting that all abuse is equivalent to domestic abuse, but that doesn't mean that the gaming industry isn't abusing it's customers.
At it's core, people stay with a shitty option because they've been conditioned (by abuse) to feel like they have no other choice. Obviously a person in a domestic abuse situation has much less actual power and freedom to change their situation, but the very core of the problem is the same. It's simple psychology.
i think digimon redigitize did the wild area thing back on the PSP.
Edit: that was eight years ago, mind you.
No. That’s been done since Digimon World on the original PlayStation in 1999.
@@kit6491 true
Felt Puppets pokemon always had a wild area. It was just called the safari zone and limited
The best part out of all of this is Bandai thanking their fans for the success of their Digimon games
"So is the game any good?"
" Well it could've been...but it's got piss in it."
I wish they didn't need a gimmick every game.
Megas, z-moves, Alolan forms, dmax, gmax, and galarain forms.
I would be happy to have them just retcon everything but megas if they just commit to add new ones and maybe taking away some old mega to prevent power creep.
Pokemon Camp was a good evolution of Pokemon Amie and pokemon refresh.
I wish they would do a game with no over arching battle gimmick.
Like Gen 3-5. (The golden age imo)
Gen 6 and 7 where pretty good.
Gen 8 is rock bottom so far.
Good to see that Gen 5 is being recognized more... Generation 5 aka Black and White Are the best pokemon games in the series and I still stand by that to this day. There is never going to be another game like generation 5, maybe the remakes but I want them to have there classic 2D sprite's but BETTER And different ♥️ ...if they do 3D well... I will be disappointed.
I actually like some of these “gimmicks” like regional variations and mega evolutions. But most of them sucked. They fact they ditched megas for inflation is just so stupid, and they’re basically the same thing, so apologists can’t make a bunch of excuses. But that’s nothing compared to the extreme laziness that is Z Moves. They’re literally just different versions of existing moves, and extremely lazy. I love Gen 5 getting some attention, reminds me when Pokémon was actually good, now genwunners and game freak are responsible for the series downfall.
This is the game that runs on the same console as fire emblem three houses. A game with a lot of unique animations
And Luigi's mansion 3
and oddysey (also 60 bucks), BoTW (60-75 including DLC), Smash, hell even the Link's Awakening remake is higher quality than SWSH
Almost every bit of dialogue is fully voiced, plenty of animations for each class, replayable and has a bunch I'd other shit to do between chapter missions.
We also have BOTW, Mario odyssey, Xenoblade 1 and 2, Astral chain, New horizons, Witcher 3, Skyrim, smash ultimate and monster hunter gen ultimate (a 3ds game, mind you) among others that all have more to offer than SwSh
And breath of the wild.Neck sonic mania a retro remake has better graphics.
Exactly nigga thats what we saying. Remember sun & moon handling 800+ 3d pokemons but the fkin switch can only handle 400+?? Cmon dude, but now with the dlcs the game can handle much more right? How can we saw that coming🤡🤡🤡🤡

I actually liked Bede's story. yeah, his asshole period was pretty cut off, but I like the fact that he got character development and is a much more rounded character than some other ones.
What was bedes story? He was endorsed by the chairman who doesn't remember him. Disqualified because he destroyed an important monument, wanted back in but was then picked up by opal because he wore pink and thats it. Theres no in-between. No development he just hopped from one thing to anothrt.
The expansion pass is a mess because they locked the GTS behind it, so this, "You can trade without buying it" is not true, the only trade option in the base game is random wonder trades, you're lucky to get Pokemon you wanted from the other game with wonder trade even this far in. These games are a joke and not worth the money, if you compare them to anything else in the same price range, not even mentioning how much more money they have than literally all the other devs. These expansions are a joke and don't deserve to succeed.
Its shocking how little people are talking about that particular detail
@@sammydray5919 It feels disingenuous when people either don't mention it or parrot GF's excuse of "You can trade whether you buy or not" when that is not the case, you can spin a random wheel and that's it. It's actually a huge feature to lock behind a pay wall in a game like this.
@@flysoup3607 Them taking away the ability to trade directly is unacceptable even if you don't use it. That's one of the main features in Pokemon. It might be different if the games were amazing and full of content but they're not, the games are a buggy mess. Pokemon shouldn't get all these excuses when no other games could get away with this.
also you can't even trade pokemon with other people if you don't have nintendo online which is yet another paywall
@@fourdollaremo It's such a convoluted, over-priced, unpolished mess.

It's all fun and games until you suddenly realize that Game Freak is probably going to ruin some of our fondest pokememories when Gen 4 and 5 remakes happen
I truly fear for the D/P remakes. Its my favourite gen and I'm not the slightest bit excited for it.
No thank you
I unfortunately:
• Didn't care too much about the characters
• Like the gyms too much
• like you said found nothing to do post game.
15:00 who tf needs to grind for a gym in these games the exp share literally avoided all of that
It's also the easiest and shortest Pokemon game. I just can't with the Pokemon series. I thought the 3ds era was bad but the switch era so far has made those look like good games. I think I'm actually done with this series and it used to be my favorite game series of all time.
Also there is no postgame like at all. Not a single new town or area is introduced even the terrible XY had kiloude city. Their actual postgame is probably the dlc expansion pass but you gotta pay for it.
@Giancarlos Benitez ok then
@Giancarlos Benitez how do you feel about this game? I think it's one of the worst ones to date. XY only being worse because of how boring it was at least sword and shield music was pretty good at times even though it's easier.
xy werent THAT bad. They had their flaws, they were too much easy for sure, but at least Kalos was a great region. Not like 10-straightpathroutes-10straightpathcities-Galar.
@@alberto.delbono I think XY was pretty bad... I mean Sword and Shield are bad as well but I still think XY was worse.
@Giancarlos Benitez yes, the story wasn't great, but at least it wasn't a 20 minutes find-one-npc-in-an-empty-square challenge
Gym leaders were an absolute joke. I just played in the wild area for half an hour and was 10 levels over, wiping out the entire game. And the story?
1. Beat easy gym
2. Get spoon fed a bit more story that I don't care about
3. Grind for 30 minutes and get overdeveloped again
4. Fight easy gym
Rinse and repeat.
I mean not the game fault if you basically grinded and overleved
You could do that in all pokemon games
That sums up every Pokémon game ever except BW.
@@Mqstodon True, but I did so in half an hour. Candies helped a lot too. I just thought it was a too easy to get overleveled in that game. In red and blue (Because its an easy example) there weren't any features like the wild area or exp share. Becoming overleveled across your whole team was harder to do.
@@esteban8471 Lol true but I just felt that it was much more evident in sword and shield, and I didn't like the story enough to make me care. I'm just a bit of a snob in that department.
@@esteban8471 spoon fed is a huge stretch here. and at least most players have a reason to care about the story in most of the games. SWSH's story is so boring it's impressive that people DO care about it at all
I got excited for a pokemon game once. then they said they were cutting out pokemon. Then everything just went downhill from there.
I was excited until I saw Let's Go. At that moment I had a bad feeling the mainline games weren't going to be any better
Mal 123 but remember everyone saying “no you’re stupid! Let’s Go isn’t a mainline game! The next mainline games won’t be like this!” and then they were, except even worse lol. I actually semi enjoyed Let’s Go as long as I didn’t think of it as a mainline game lol
Me: Hey Game Freak, can I have Infernape, a starter and very popular pokemon due to the fact?
GameFreak: Nah we cut it for balancing reasons lol
Me: Oh okay--
GameFreak: Hahah sword goes *SHWING*
Or probably, ''haha fire fighter goes burnnning burns with her soccer feet''.
I would much rather Game Freak had dove more into Mega Evolutions than Z-Moves and Dynamaxing. Mega-Es were way cooler! They could've designed a Normal type Mega-E for Eevee with massive buffs, making players value Eevee's pre-evolution just as much as its multiple post-evolutions! And other Pokemon like Flygon or Jinx could've gotten more attention. And I'm sure they would've been way more popular if the Pokedex entries for the Mega-Es were written to be more epic instead of depressing shit like "it's in constant pain while in this form"

Just came across this video. Probably the most accurate Sword & shield review I've watched. Plus, it's littered with actual comedy which is great!
Although there was blatant flaws with the game, I'd be lying if I said it didn't bring me a LOT of joy throughout my first playthrough. Only during my second playthrough did I really look at it from a critical standpoint. And yes, the piss riddled, half baked cake became very apparent.
In conclusion, it sorta sucks.
Nintendo Players: "They are reselling content that should have been in the game from the get-go!"
PlayStation/PC/Xbox Players: "First time?"
The only reason I love Sordward and Shielbert is because they are hilariously bad. And Sordward’s hair is PRICELESS. I wish they were the leaders of the evil team so when they are all marching away in large groups you could see all their sword hair flopping around everywhere 😂
I’m just really not happy with Regional Legendaries... kind of sucks that they’re taking away what made them legendary. Just make more new ones 🙄
Devon DeLuna New Zapdos looks cool and that’s all that matters to me. Legendaries haven’t felt special in a looooooong time. I’d rather they make the old ones cooler then a bunch more we won’t care about.
Infinite Octopaw well I do agree with the comment above from MagiColorful Moon. Just make them more interesting give us more of a build up to players encounter with the legends. Not just forced save the world bs.
@MagiColorful Moon Okay so I just rewatched the SA2 real time fandub today and now I see this ? Nice
I happy with them in this case because the bird trio are literally the worst legendaries and their new forms are so much better. Doesnt make the game not shit but at least the designs are cool for other forms of pokemon media.
@@xXEPIKgamerXx "the bird trio are literally the worst legendaries"
The Regis : *laugh in computer noises*
I'm Canadian, that means for me this is an $80 game. Pokemon is one the biggest franchises on earth and they fall behind single person dev teams in basic functionality,, even $5 indie RPG maker games on steam have voice overs. I'm not sure if Gamefreak is actually incompetent or just lazy, but this game is NOT worthy of being on a console over a handheld
I love how you put in the dragon quest music, brings a lot of memories.
I loved the amazing world to explore, so many amazing creatures to find, the side quests and lore were all super fun and interesting to read/complete. Even though the main story was not amazing, the other parts of the game really made up for it. Xenoblade Chronicles X was an underrated masterpiece.
i'd rather get the expansion for free as to make up for the lack of content but ok shill out your 30 bucks i guess
I said this once in discord with calm tone with no meaning of insult and then everyone in server just threw their anger at me lol
I think it's 20 in the US but yeah should have been free to compensate for the train wreck that was the base game (apart from the soundtrack that shit is some of the best pokemon music out there and thats saying something, PLUS almost all the legendaries coming back in crown tundra with their themes i believe)
While just playing it’s kinda fun. it’s like watching sword art online where it’s good if you don’t think about it but once you think about what’s going on you feel disgusting
1:13 oh my god the music gave me the deepest dragon quest IX nostalgia...
My issue with the story is that,
Say what you will with previous gen like Ultra Moon/Sun but there was a grand story going and YOU were involved. But in SW/SH it's like "WHOOOOAAAA AWESOME THING GOING ON HERE you should get back to your gym challenges, we'll handle it from here :3" it's like if you were playing Pokemon Gold/Silver and you heard Team Rocket is cutting off the tails from Slowpokes and instead of you going down to stop them, someone just tells you they'll handle it instead. The pokemon Stories are formulaic, but SW/SH breaks that form in all the wrong ways. And Rose just felt so half-baked as the antag, "WE NEED TO DO THE THING NOW LEON" "Okay but lemme do this thing first which will take only one more" "NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW" the whole gigamax threat was hardly there as even during the darkest day as it was still bright and cheery. The small post quest we got, the two brothers felt like SLIGHTLY more compelling villains than Rose ever did, celebrities that abuse their status to get what they want while trying to preserve their family image? Sounds great!
Probably would've picked it up if not for the price. Pokemon has always been around 30 to 40 dollars since it was handheld. I'm not a very big fan, so that price tag was barely worth it already. Fast forward and the price is 20 dollars more with arguably less and/or worse content. Lost my sale national dex or not.
Only reason i ever got it was bc i found it used for $45 which meant i wasn't spending $60 or motivating gf or tpc to keep making stuff like this. No plans on getting the dlc either, they arent getting anything from me
It’s a 3ds game ported to the switch
It’s a horrible version of Sun and Moon
It is.
That was the rumor people were saying but they had over a year to redesign and make the game look a lot more pleasing
@@Hunter-pn9dl whut
@@Hunter-pn9dl So it was supposed to be 3Ds game??? That makes way too much sense honestly
my biggest issue with the national dex is why they cut it. They directly stated they were making new models and animations for all of the pokemon that were going to be in the game. Nearly 1000 models to fully animate is a lot to ask for, so if more expressive pokemon that looked better was the trade for that, I was fine with not having the national dex. The problem came with the reveal trailer, where we saw (big surprise) that the models were just ported from the 3DS, and only a handful of moves were getting new animations. It felt like a massive middle finger to me, and it was clear that Gamefreak did it because of time constraints. Modeling is hard, but if you're going to promise us something, you'd damn well better deliver on it.
You are really good at explaining and describing these things. Funny as hell lol I enjoy seeing more from you
"Mr. Penis Hair" = Exactly what I thought!
Also it's a crime that niether Looker, Cynthia OR Red&Green show up. And in a game with so little content they couldn't at least let us go
back to the Kalos region for a minimal short postgame quest?
The story is the worst Pokemon story ever. The stories get progressively worse gen by gen

@@mysteriousmemethief8598 True. The Stories got better and better from 1-5. I forgot to write that.
@@spaceowl9246 red and blue to black white was good

4:22: When i heard that the first time i thought it's a Joke.
Gamefreak can't be that lazy.
But yeah, they are, and people defend them, saying it's natural to Reuse Things. Lots of things.
Lots of lots of things, in the Best-selling Franchise they have, and even then, they still make Mistakes when doing this...

You have no right to expect Quality or even literally-made Promises to be kept. No, just accept everything as it is.
Thanks, dark middle ages, thanks. Your opinion has been received.
Gamefreak will probably not wake up if delusional Fans keep being delusional, making being delusional the 'cool thing to be'...
Just cause the DLC "fixes issues" doesn't mean the game is suddenly better. Those fixes should have been in the base game, with the DLC building on top of that. One of the biggest problems still remains even with the DLC, the garbage animations, which I feel are underplayed here quite a lot.
The game is trash. I literally passed the game in 2 days, just getting rare candy and XP share from gigantamax pokemon in the open wild area. The gyms aren't challenging and the game throws pkmn at you. No need to grind for certain ones.
The game was easy because you overleved using the candies, not really the game's fault
@@Mqstodon I'm saying that in regards to how easy the game makes it so you don't have to grind for xp like in previous titles, you know the ones that were fun. Also with that in mind the game has it so after one pokemon gets experience, all your party gets an experience share, how lame is that? You're actually trying to defend this trash game guy?
XxX One
I wouldn’t say older games were fun because you had to grind. Those were literally THE MOST BORING PART. What are you on?
@@dartrevas I think most of you are misinterpreting the "grinding" part. When I talk about grinding, I don't mean just killing pkmn to level up. I meant grinding as on the aspect of the reward system. It was fun grinding for rare pokemon and grinding for certain battle items in previous titles. It meant that few people had what you had and you could brag about your achievements, because it actually took time and effort. In the current titles the game just throws pokemon and items at you, no fun at all. I will give you an example. It took me 2 days grinding in soul silver at the safari zone for me to catch larvitar. I could brag about that achievement. You can then take that achievement and make it even more rewarding and difficult by trying to breed a shiny or get a certain nature type, then it will be rarer to get egg moves etc. That's what I mean when I say "grinding".
XxX One
That depends on how you like to play. Whether you are intrinsically or extrinsically motivated.
Being someone who is extrinsically motivated, I don’t see bragging rights as a good enough reason to spend two days on catching a regular Larvitar. However, this is where your side comes in:
People who are intrinsically motivated have fun doing this sorta stuff.
And that’s perfectly fine. I can’t consciously push down on the basic nature of someone. So I’ve come to the conclusion that the grinding thing is pretty much different for everyone.
Don’t mind me I’m just finishing ruby for the 20th time
Tommy Rodriguez, interesting. The game has been out for 17 years, and you’re only on playthrough number 20?
And here I am finishing Gold for the hundredth time
i haven't played ruby yet.
What I really disliked was the type imbalances and leader pokemon choices. I remember fighting the gym leaders again after finishing the game and 2 of them had the same pokemon (torkoal, for fire and dragon guys I think) who wasn't even the right type for one of them. That stuff happened a lot in the first games when there weren't many pokemon, but there is no excuse now in my opinion. Also the fact that basically no one except hop has 6 pokemon, it felt pretty lackluster to fight the last gym leader who didn't have a full team...
A few things to sort out the game:
More Pokémon.
More interactivity with the Gym Leaders.
More exploration of Leon and Sonia's rivalry.
Have Hop's inferiority complex reach a breaking point where he joins Rose in a desperate bid in his quest to become stronger.
Bebe actually having an arc.
The Wild Area being it's own separate thing; seriously if they've based Galar on the U.K, we have the island of Ireland literally West of Wales.
Why not have Ireland be a stand in for the Wild Area.
That way you'd be able to flesh out the region with more towns (seriously over here we have so many small villages) that focused on different aspects of Pokémon training.
One town could be a breeding town, one could be a contest town, another could be a history/fossil town and so on.
This way the Wild Area gets to breathe as its own thing, where biomes can be thoroughly mapped out and the main region could stand on its own as a properly interconnected region.
I love how youtube comments legitimately have better visions for this game than the designers themselves
Expectations: A BoTW-size open world filled with every Pokemon in existence and able to visit any town and challenge any gym in any order while the gym leaders pick their teams according to the player's level during their battle.
Reality: A badly ported lazily made recycled 3DX game with less content than previous DX games which were half the price.
Maybe have a Pokemon game that takes place before the invention of Pokemon balls. Like a medieval Pokemon or something. Have your Pokemon follow you around. Have some 'stables' to put away your other Pokemon and watch it fill up over time with the Pokemon you collect.
But nobody said that the game was gonna be that. Like literally nobody did? Who said that the game was gonna be open world? Or the gym leaders picking different teams considering the order in which you beat the gyms? Like nobody said that and you just got your hopes up with no evidence, and they told right off the bat that not all pokemon where gonna be in the game.
@@Mqstodon Well the price tag did. The cut of pokemon to imrove on features despite no improvements made and considering it's one of the highest grossing franchisees.
For comparison Ultra sun and moon were on the ds and lagged.
The models were future proofed for a reason.
Yet the tiny ds can host all of the pokemon.
So basing it off the older games it costs more and has less content. The selling point of the game was the wild area and how it was supossed to be a massive open world.
they failed.
In Context of the other switch games, animal crossing, Botw, Mario Odyssey it does not stand against those games either.
They promised quality while barley animating the core gameplay mechanics.
So considering the only reason to bring it to one of the most powerful consoles currently we expected something better then a ds game because it wasn't going on the ds anymore.
Even console games such a pokemon gale, and even revolution did hold up compared to other wii games at the time.
I also HIGHLY recommend any Shin Megami Tensei game on 3DS. Any entry of that series on the 3DS makes Pokémon look like a complete joke of a game.
Pokémon Colosseum, a game that came out almost 17 years ago, had better animations than this.
Pokémon Sword And Shield More Like Pokémon Sword And Sh*t For Not Adding National Dex
In the state that the gaming industry is in with dlc what could go wrong did go wrong. I bought PK shield to just see if maybe it might be an alright game but it looked nowhere near as beautiful as Zelda botw or other Nintendo titles. Then we get dlc and I just don't know anymore. I'm just butt hurt that this his how my first experience with a PK game turned out.
Of course this game didn't look as beautiful as Zelda BOTW or other Nintendo games! Those games were designed with the Switch in mind and show the advancements! This game looks like a 3DS game!

I got this game barely when quarantine began. One of my friends told me I would hate it but I figured give it a change. At first I honestly loved the game. That lasted about 3 hours. There was so much potential but literally this game had no depth and felt so 2 dimensional. It just felt like you were progressing on a number line, going from step 1 to 2, to 3 and so forth. At least the other games had other features or "mini games" you could do to take a break from the main story. The ones offered in this game were so gimmicky.
Sounds like Sun and Moon. Go to ghe next thing marked on the Rotom map, get your pokemon healed by a side character, tackle the next obstacle, then proceed to the next thing on your Rotom map. For USUM, thrown in the rotoloto gimmick that you wish you could turn off but can’t.
You're fine with them charging you more to fix problems they created in the base game?
You lost me there.
Hope you get genuinely happy soon mate ❤️
this is the only comment on this video so far that i've actually liked. thank you
Idk the expansion pack including some more of the removed pokemon feels to me like real reason why pokemon were cut in the first place.
Sure, people will say "oh but the pokemon update is free, you dont need to buy the dlc to transfer them after"
But let's be real here, from a greedy/manipulation stand point, if you took a break from this game, and poked your head back in because 200~ are back in, would you really not get the dlc as well at that point, if you're getting back into it?
I actually thought they'd do this as soon as the initial announcement of dexit happened, and well... it happened. Still haven't paid 60$, and I'm not paying 90$ anytime soon. I own every other pokemon game (hard copies of each generation) btw, so you can't call me a fake fan.
that's my situation exactly. I'm glad I didn't get SWSH to begin with and frankly... *it ain't worth 60 bucks with expansion let alone 90*
I'll stick to my fanmade projects and Chunsoft made games; support the people who actually deserve the support

You went kinda soft with that 7/10 score based on how much you criticized the game. I was expecting a 6 at most.
yea honestly? i guess its because it held my attention enough (which is more than i can say for usum) but after i beat it i dont really have any incentive to touch it ever again
I'm not gonna lie I dislike the sword and shield competitive and wild area after a while because it's the same repetitive thing every time. ( Competitive is the same thing because everyone uses the same shit )
Everybody hates Landorus a lot because it has more than 40% popularity in singles. Clefable is even worse, and not even mention Incineroar and Togekiss in VGC.

I keep coming back to this video for that perfect "FUCKING NEVER"
I disagree, that analogy was the best I've ever heard.
20:20 The devil is right. After all, this is a very similar situation with battlefront (minus the loot boxes but you could argue the expansion pass is like a lootbox just less random).
I haven't played the DLC, but it won't have a lot. How do I know? Look at literally all of GameFreaks previous DLC in it's entire history. Yes all of it. All of it has been either awful (by community) or very very quick. Plus the octo expansion was great! But that's Nintendo, not gamefreak. Nintendo has no say in how the games are made. That's WHY Pokemon sucks now. Previously Iwata was the bridge between the two. Pokemon is trash now, I've accepted this. I think you should too, I couldn't bear to see you get excited for the next Pokemon game only to be hurt.
Final thought: 23:35 Anything can be justified as "worth the money" after you've thrown half of the months rent at it. No game in the world is worth $90 and still be so lackluster and flawed.
Preach it, mii friend!
PREACH!!!!
Like I've said, I would like to like pokemon. But there's three giant problems
1°: I have quality standars. Money is not easy to get so videogames must be worth my money.
2°: I know exactly why the first 5 gens of pokemon are good games overall, and why now aren't.
3°: I do not have nostalgia for pokemon because I was too young to grew with the original 150.
Even though your comparison with lootboxes is heavily lacking (come one, loot boxes and content updates are not even remotely the same), you are right with the rest you said
@@einherjar4902 idk about that, after all we dont know which 100 pokemon will be reappearing, and besides, i was focused more on the full game being locked behind a paywall within the game itself just to make it feel whole. Not so much that the whole game itself is essentially lootbox only, i was focused more into the random 100 and the fact this is clearly a money grab when they could easily make it free and the game would be much better for it (and it would ve been better for consumers). I understand the confusion, i only wanted to articulate those two points, but didnt want my comment to be any longer than it already was.
