If you were expecting an innovative game with the new gameplay. Well you got it but does innovative always mean good? In terms of Pokemon Sword and Shield, no.
Despite mostly adults still playing Pokemon, Pokemon/Game Freak decided it was a good idea to hand hold throughout the game. If you thought complaining about Sun and Moon hand holding would have been effective, well it wasn't. Pokemon continues to dumb down long tenure fans. Pokemon Red to Yellow weren't this babish so what's with the deal for all the hand holding in the last 10 years?
Pokemon Sword and Shield is a new game however it failed to entertain me unlike its predecessors.
Pokemon Sword and Shield is like all the other Pokemon games, but with an upgraded difference that leaves nothing to be impressed about. Pokemon also decided to get rid of great moves and ban various Pokémon from the game. Did Team Rocket make this game? Perhaps because Pokemon has changed the rules and it has oppressed me as a legendary Pokémon player. In addition, The new Pokemon aren't interesting at all. They look ugly. Nowhere near Gen 1 designs which were sexy.
I've played Red to White and to see where Pokemon is today is hash. Pokemon needs to move away from the childish gameplay and stop holding my hand when I've beaten Pokemon Red as a little youth back in the 90s.00s. Whats wrong with producing a T rated Pokémon game?
Oh and I almost forgot. Still no voice work. Pokémon sales tons of these games to geeks. Yet not one game has had the audacity to have voice work. If they are too cheap to pay for expensive actors. Pay for cheap ones do something because I like to read but when I play a game voice work is crucial.
Positive note, the graphics are fine and you get to become a Pokemon champ again with nothing left to do then you feel you've been ripped off for a 90 dollar game that is not open-ended in the slightest. If these games cost 90 dollars? Which child has 90 dollars in their pocket? To make a childish game meant for children and have it cost over 90 bucks makes no sense. Pokemon games should be 20 bucks max. It's adults paying for it and adults buying it. Pokemon needs to stop childing down their fans. Pokemon S and S is evident that Pokémon is going downhill. Sun and Moon were the start. If Pokemon didn't learn with Legends, Pearl and Diamond remake then I guess Violet and Scarlett will be the next step-down.
Plus sales don't mean it's a good game. It just mean people thought the game would be good and took the risk due to misleading marketing.
