My worst problem with the game? Everyone treats me like I'm five years old.

*Hop congratulates me when I use a supereffective move.
*A guy escorts me to a hotel about 100 meters over.
*Everyone constantly stops me to tell me where I must go and encourage me to go straight there.

Just let me play without the babying, dammit!

Aside from the 5 things you mentioned, my main issues were:
1. Lack of interesting routes. Most were very straightforward and when you spend lots of time in the wild area, it makes the routes look incredibly dull in comparison.
2. The cities were gorgeous but were also just fancy set pieces because you couldn't actually DO anything in them. Why have a cozy hot spring or a Ferris wheel or a big restaurant and then restrict us from interacting with them?
3. That ugly bike gear we HAD to wear. I spent 200k on fancy clothes, let me wear them on my bike.

Pokemon is a series of constant "One step forward, 2 steps back" Every game introduces new features that fans love and then are taken away in the next installment, all because the creators like to pick and choose what features to add based on their emotional whims in the moment.

[TheQuashingoftheTub]

"This feature was not carried over to Sword and Shield" is practically the definition of Sword and Shield.

About lack of new post-game areas: I personally think lack of areas, period, is a problem. Compare Hammerlocke City, which look grand and majestic with towers in the background but is basically just one long street, to Castelia City from Unova; multiple streets and alleyways, on which almost every building is enterable and has new things to discover, PLUS a harbor, sewer area, and park. There are too many closed doors, too many cool things in the background that you can't explore.

"the lack of post game areas"


me who just completed the game: the WHAT?

[tobyfaulkner]

Player: uses a super effective move

Hop: talented brilliant incredible amazing show stopping spectacular

[davidherrera]

The Y- comm is the most annoying thing out of everything. Definitely needs fixed. All the points made super valid

[ThunderTitan]

The only thing that slightly confuses me about SwSh is that Zamazenta doesn’t learn king’s shield, like I get it’s Aegislash’s move but Zamazenta is literally a *Shield* Pokémon that helped a *king*, so why can’t it learn king’s shield?

What really disappointed me in my playthrough was the lack of mystery. There's not a single real dungeon. There are like 2 caves and they are basicly nice looking hallways. Same for the cities. They look great but everything is a facade. You can barely enter or reach anything. The Victory Road was another 15 meter hallway. The top 4 were just some gym leaders I fought before. Team Yell sucked and the Tower of Chairman Rose is just an Elevator with like 4 fights.

I'm still at 300h because of pvp and shiny hunting, but this was the most lackluster playthrough of any Pokemon game imo.

[Nessmess]

The entire region felt empty to me tbh. Cities were pretty but had no special locations to interact with. Routes were incredibly dull. The lore was cut short for a half assed story to take its place. It just felt very hollow, unlike other regions.

[pixelpudding]

Me: I wanna join a raid!
Game: No
Me: What?
Game: *N O*

[Damqq]

Uncommon opinion: Rotom Rally is too easy and lack of any depth.

[doublereactionsanddiscussi]

Do a Pokémon learn moves that shouldn’t learn sword edition

[Jkslay]

The game box should be a circle because of how many corners were cut

[christopherbousquet]

#6-horrible NPC raid “helpers”
Could they please have something useful?

[ziggymetalx]

6 : Looker is not in this game.


I think he’s been in every game since Diamond/ Pearl/ Platinum

[gabrielhoekstra]

Why did they throw out the PSS? It was the perfect system.

My brother was watching me play, and at one point my Cinderace got confused. It then used Headbutt, but just used its standard kicking attack animation. My brother asked why it used its feet when using headbutt, but then he said “ah. It’s because he’s confused isn’t it”

I wish that I could friend people that I find during my game. I saw a guy who's name was God. I want to friend God.
