they need to make some pokemon easier to obtain, i spent 2 full regions not able to get my seadra to evolve due to needing an item you could only get late into johto, which needed a hm move you cant even get
That's really bad. Was this the only pokemon you couldn't evolve?

You could have got one from a wild horsea. They have a 5% (8% in gsc) chance to carry a dragon scale.

not gonna lie Sword and Shield, the most boring game ever played

Got all the way to the Champion, and i'm just standing outside Wyndom place and lost interest in the game.

Congrats Nintendo and Game Freak for putting me off Pokemon

I had fun with the game, but just because i enjoy the basic elements like catching all the pokemon and training them up.
But there was so much missed potential. Imagine if the entire map was the wild area, and after the introduction ceremony you could just challenge them in whatever order you wanted, with the leaders pokemon scaling to the amount of badges you have.
And the main story was a huge disappointment.

I’m just hoping they don’t fuck things up when they will do the Gen 4 reboot.

Yes! If they desecrate that sacred ground they will lose me as a customer for good. Maybe.
I just hope they make it even harder than i remember. Gen 4 was my first.
It's so weird to think about; when gen 4 came out I remember it constantly being ridiculed as the worst mainline Pokemon game.
It's personally always been my favorite even though Ruby was my first Pokemon game.

Lately I've been seeing more and more people longing for a gen 4 remake, it's just weird thinking back to the unwarranted hate.

I was super excited for the game, never even bought it. lol. I had seen enough to know that I wouldn't enjoy the game after all. Super disappointing.

They're likely gonna step their game up next time they drop a title. After the backlash and the awful sales of S&S...
If not, then at least we have the older games. :pepeD:

Ayyy, my Seadra is still a Seadra. Finding dragon scales in S&M isn't even worth it...

There's always Pokemon Showdown. I still play it off and on, despite my shoddy connection

Just wanna ask this: I saw this video quite a few months ago, prior to the game's actual release, and so I want to know exactly how accurate is this video, when compared to the actual release of the game?


Were the issues mentioned in this video still present in the actual release? I don't mind the others, but I'd be completely flabbergasted if the horrendous pokemon scaling shown here, as well as the trainers being in the middle of the arena between two gigantic pokemon in dynamax mode still existed... That'd be weird to see.

And the battles being so clustered like what's displayed in the video is just weird...​

Unfortunately, I've also read comments in reddit that Sw/Sh completely dumbed down the complexity.. like, there's no super complex area or puzzle that you have to go through; and that routes seemed more shorter and linear, no huge buildings to explore, like Silph Co, as well as the abysmal hand-holding that's been overdone in this game...

Some people even say it's the most straight-forward pokemon game they ever played... All this really doesn't help me view pokemon Sw/Sh in a positive light at all..... and it's a shame because the same guy who made that video also did a video on things that were done right on Sw/Sh, and the wild area impressed me a lot.

I think if there is a third game, it'll be called Pokemon Battleaxe or Spear.



Pokemon Direct in about an hour and a half. Will post it here then. :D
