While there are many who shit on Gen 8 and Sword and Shield What would you say Sword and Shield did right?
>>56219269Imagine gen 7 but even gayer and more boring and more linear. Marnie is cute i guess.
>>56219269>What would you say Sword and Shield did right?I doubt it counts, but it was so bad, it helped me break free from Pokémon's FOMO spell.
>>56219269Nature mints. Letting everyone use the gimmick (gimmick itself was shit though) Sandaconda, Hatterene, Toxtricity, Corviknight, Cramorant, the fossil (though the rest of the dex is either repulsive, bland, or forgettable by far the worst dex. ) The swimmer is cute That’s honestly it, everything else about SwSh was garbage
>>56219269Only the girls were good, the rest is utter shit
>>56219367>Sandaconda, Cramorant, the fossils>not repulsive, bland or forgettable
The title is cool. People like swords, and shields go with swords. It plants a vivid image into your mind, an image of a good Pokemon game instead of the garbage we got.
>>56219269These are probably my least favorite Pokémon games, but they did do a few things right:> Gym battles are amazing in scope and spectacle compared to past games.> Party-wide EXP Share works as a proper QoL feature due to being nerfed, instead of an easy mode like it was in gens 6/7. Too bad there's no toggle for it.> Nature mints should've existed for far longer.> Corviknight.
>>56219515The girls were MID
>>56219269DLCs are fun
>>56219950Midy hot
>>56219269Showed off its garbage nature in the first reveal trailer thereby making me completely stop paying attention to it and never consider buying or even emulating the game, or any game since
>>56219269the stadium with cheering crowds during big battles was actually a nice touch, the idea of these big arena battles was something that was in the anime from the very beginning but no games had really captured that feeling as well before. the new Regis are pretty cool too. dynamax got pretty fucking old pretty quick but the generation introduced a lot of interesting doubles strategies with new items and abilities. Sonia has some pretty good off model porn too
>>56219269>Battle atmosphere>Gimmick distribution>The pokedex
>>56219269Dedenne spamming Entrainment
>battle stadiums look amazing, which was especially appreciated playing online a lot>mix of classic and overworld encounters>introduced raids>vibrant region
Parroting is an admission of defeat
>>56219624I actually think object titles are bad because now the legendaries have a literal sword and shield, same with Gen 7, stuff like that. Imo Pokémon titles should be more abstract with the legendaries not being literally related to the words. Maybe they came up with the box legendaries first but I think they're really stupid
>>56219269nothing
>>56219269Dynamax is not as bad as mega evolution and Z moves.
>>56219269I uhhh... Umm......Nature Mints like the other guy said. I like Impidimp.
