To be fair, a group of pedophiles would be the most threatening group in pokemon yet.
In a way, Team Rocket were slave traffickers and they would do ANYTHING for money. Who knows how many skeletons Gio has in his closet.
@@Painkiller-1997 also team aqua and magma literally tried to end all humanity in alpha sapphire and omega ruby lol
It would be, but I feel like making Pokemons' porn community the villains would be a little too on the nose
@@JesusLover800
Magma and Aqua were just plain dumb. Magma was just worse because Groudon would make the planet uninhabitable for everyone and everything. At least with Kyogre you could build boats, an underwater city, live by air, etc.
@@Painkiller-1997 agreed, they had some severely flawed logic.

Team skull > Team yell
They were far more charming and memorable
That and their aesthetic fits in and makes sense, they're youths with no true purpose or direction in their lives. They're a pretty good cover front for the actual villain team, Aether Foundation.
For Yell, I understand Marnie's a hot babe and you wanna cheer for the representive of your home town (and also Spikemuth gym leader's little sis) but... bah I dunno, I suppose I just don't like seeing that the male grunt is obese. And just like Skull, they are fodder for the actual villain team which is not introduced until the last 20 minutes of the game or so.
I disagree.
@@sloppyphart7879 dude team skull is the greatest rival team. They're funny as hell.
Evil Teams/Corporations Ranked:
*GREAT*
1. Plasma
(Excellent. A team ran by a psychopath bent on making the world and its Pokémon his own)
2. Aether Foundation
(behind every utopia is a sense of sinisterness, and this is no exception)
3. Rocket
(1 Word: Classic)
*OKAY*
4. Skull
(funny and memorable)
5. Galactic
(good, but nothing to write home about)
6. Magma/Aqua
(playground arguments: the team)
*BAD*
7. Flare
(They could’ve been great, but just felt extremely underwhelming and confusing.)
8. Yell
(pointless and only occasionally funny)
9. Macro Cosmos
(most confusing motivation ever like wtf)
@@AceTrainerSquirtle imo skull was better than Aether because Skull kinda was Aether foundation. And skull was funny but the foundation was basically just an evil team that's it
I miss the old rival who wanted to kick my ass and didn’t talk to me every 16 seconds
i can't believe he harps about type matchups
after picking the starter that's weak against yours
Bede but he was seen like 4 times then got kidnapped by an old lady
They kinda fucked up the rival in recent gens. I remember in gen 5 and before the rival actually chose the supereffective pokemon against yours. I think that gamefreak thinks they need to make the games easier because they think their fanbase is bunch of stupid mfs and kids, although they're not wrong ab that bc we keep buying this shit(ngl it's entertaining af).
And gyms were actually... Gyms. Remember in gen 5 how gym leaders would whoop the fuck out of one's ass. Remember the emolga? The watchog? The sudden level spikes? at least those games took at least a lil effort to beat.
The only friendly rival that I like is Hau because he at least is charismatic
Remember the days when the rival chose the starter with type advantage instead of giving your Pokémon a type effective move in the first battle.
Yup. I do think it was a pretty clever way to teach kids how type advantages work, but it just made Hop even more of a joke. A shame, since I think Hop is actually a pretty good character.
@@ghengiroo4143 hop would be nice if he actually left me alone
@@ghengiroo4143 black and White's way of doing this is way better which was the first puzzle

in the final battle with hop in wyndon i one shotted all of his pokémon with cinderace it is stupid
Can’t wait for the next form that Charizard may receive in the next game
Charizard money form.
A version of charizard made of all the money gamefreak has made selling merchandise of it
meowth: *sweating*
Chiaki Nanami approves this comment charizard has more forms than evee at this point
You can’t go wrong with Charizard
Same. Love Charizard
I hate it when people pull out the "it's made for children" card. The freaking original game boy red and blue was made for children!
That's like saying children from the red and blue era were the same as children in this era. Are they really?
Child me couldn’t figure out og Pokémon games until I was a teen, my little cousins and nephews all struggle playing through them too since they have all this cryptic bullshit to the game that just assumes you have better reading comprehension than a 5th grader
The games get “easier” for us westerners when games get ported over anyways, Nintendo has been doing this since the first Mario
It's an excuse for laziness
So a game from 25 years ago should not change today?
Rainbow Snake Children nowadays are smarter and have more media savvy, it should be harder if anything
Honestly I feel like gens 4-5 were the peak of the franchise. They were challenging but really fun. And you feel accomplished at the end of the game. I’m replaying Pokémon white right now and even in the second gym was more challenging then half of the recent game.

Pokemon was always easy.
Not only does Pokemon do the same thing CoD does with releasing the same game every time, they release TWO VERSIONS of the same game every time.
CoD releasing the same game every year is a myth.
@@dontmindmyname7563 No it's not?
@@dontmindmyname7563 oh yeah they did exo for a bit. And by exo for a bit I mean THE SAME EXO MECHANICS FOR THREE YEARS, then MORE FUTURISTIC SHIT, then back to modern setting and slightly bigger maps, so much of a difference lmao
@@astillia6073 the exo thing was one game. With black ops 3 and 4 it was just boost jumps and sliding (which isn't exo) and with infinite warfare they expanded it into full on combat armor that had different specialties.

@@wrenren2112 icing on the cake, its probably not even good
@@xxiety8945 bought it when it came out, second biggest waste of money ever (first was buying the base game)
sadly, they sold more copies than ever so no changes for next game.
That just makes me sad. I actually wanted to play a pokemon game for once but if this is the shit they will pull then that's a yikes from me.
I seriously don't understand this. At least games like FIFA or cod MAINTAIN the amount of content they produce. And some even EXCEED the usual content amount (for example, COD WW2 has more things to unlock than i ever have seen in a game)
If this pokemon game stays alive for an extended period of time then i will be very sad.
edit: i don't even mind if they copy and pasted everything, and added minimal original content. But they literally TOOK AWAY things.
Kids I can understand but if you’re a 20 year old man buying this you probably have brain damage
must be the same people that support EA and other companies that go bad, they're not really gamers and into the news or anything. They just have a switch and heard a pokemon game is coming out so they just got it.

I never got the argument for it being "for kids." I literally played the game boy games as a 5 year old and those games were harder. Underestimating your entire audience to the point of treating them idiots makes for a tiring game to play through.
The gameboy game wasn’t harder, you were just a stupid child
@@milesdolphy-king8180 You've got to be kidding me. In the OG game they give you a pokemon and let you F off in the world - No directions. In the new games you are stopped every two seconds to make sure you're handheld to the next objective and what you need to do to complete it. Or in Let's Go, how they don't let you challenge one of the gyms unless you have a super effective poke, or how they give Eevee ridiculous moveset options that are incredibly OP and wreck the game. Please. Bring an argument next time
@@milesdolphy-king8180 not true. I get more challenge replaying the old ones that I've literally already beat than playing sword and shield.
Cloneman2827 if your having trouble with gen 1, you’re clearly not using earthquake enough
@@Kirby950 trouble =/= challenge persay, also I personally don't like gen 1 that much tbh, ig it was great when it came out but now it's like eh
"This pokemon is just a teacup"
to be fair, the first gen had a pile of ooze with a face as a pokemon and a ball with a face and some gas around it as a pokemon.
"bUt tHAts JeN oNe
Let's not forget the fact that oneof the most famous starter pokemon is just a stereotypical Dragon
Just the fact fans defend this stuff with "at least it's better than Gen 1" is the reason this series has been stuck in a rut for years.
I mean ffs, anything is a masterpiece when you feel the need to compare it to 20+ year old game that wasn't even in color.
Look, gen 1 might not have been perfect, but why scrutinize the little things? That was the golden age for Pokémon all the way till I’d say black and white, and maybe to alpha sapphire (I don’t know, I honestly fucking loved alpha sapphire)
@@silokhawk designs are designs. lmao. you saying art has developed so much over just 20 yrs, that now everything that's made pre-2000s is just bad, solely from an art perspective? Da Vinci? Too old, the art is no longer good.
What a shitty argument. The complaint was about designs. Gen 1 has its fair share of "uninspired" (shitty buzzword that means nothing now anyway) designs, every gen does. People just look for any excuse they can to shit on the new ones because their small baby brains can't remember anything past 151. "DURR ICE CREAM GARBAGE BAG TEAPOT ROCKS HAHA POKEMON DESIGNS SO BAD LMAO LOOK ICE CREAM GARBAGE BAG TEAPOT ROCKS! I LISTED 4 THINGS THAT HAVE DESIGNS I DON'T LIKE XDDDD"
Can't say I expected much though. Most people who do "reviews" severely lack the ability to critically think. It's more just expression of opinion than an actual review.

Don't forget this game is 60 bucks even thought it lacks less content than the 3ds games.
When pokemon black 2 and white 2 are finally remade for the switch fans will realise how awful newer games are.
@@RematodeRanger Nah, they'll remake it like ORAS.
No movies, no theater, no sports arenas, no side content, just a 'Coming soon!' memorial to all that was lost, just like the Battle Frontier in ORAS.
@@RematodeRanger Implying the remakes are still gonna be a thing. I don't see them still being the same thing if they keep on ditching the national dex and getting rid of several moves, it's gonna be really tough.
Matti those were the last games I played. Everything since then has seemed like a downgrade.
@@RematodeRanger lmfao bw was terrible. It literally forced you to the endgame before you could do anything by yourself. Take off the nostalgia goggles
Fun fact: Nintendo doesn’t really use servers for their online games, they use player to player connections, which means if one person has poor internet it’ll lag
Surprised you didn’t mention how the map is once again just a linear path. There’s no sense of adventure when it’s just straight paths from city to city. Even the wild area is just a barren wasteland. I wish the regions were like Gens 1-4
It doesn't feel like pokemon when the map is like that at least gen 5 has side paths in tbe map like the desert ruins
Gen five had in depth off the path puzzles that I got lost in more than once, cave systems mountain systems etc. gen 5 made up for its linear path, i doubt I could’ve remembered what I was supposed to do afterwards after I spent 3 hours trying to get out of a mountain.
@@WaywardVector yeah you're right. I love being stuck or lost because figuring it out afterwards is so satisfying
you finished one route and you were ready for the next gym. you didn’t even have to really train your pokemon
What a waste tbh, Imagine how good the game would have been if Gamefreak actually cared about it instead of rushing it for Christmas sales
still not very good?
I don't think it's necessarily gamefreak not caring. Seems to me that the problem with pokemon is that it's a multimedia franchise that needs to time its releases with the new anime series and the new card game packs and shit like that. So while metroid and animal crossing can be delayed cause the final product isn't up to the series' standards, gamefreak can't delay pokemon cause it'd cause conflicts with the anime schedule and cardgame production. I think that's the most likely explanation.
That’s not really game freak thing your blaming the wrong person. This more of a business thing and deadline thing when they must get the game out at a certain time
Blame The Pokemon Company for the rushed product. They give GF the deadline, and because of how they have the anime and card game set up the game HAS to come when they say. It's a real shame. I think that when you ignore how a lot of features won't be here next gen, you can clearly see the care Gamefreak put into them. I truly believe if they had a year or even a year and a half they could have spread that love throughout the entire game rather than having to cut corners.
no its definitely game freaks fault they put in barely any money which equals to barely any work done
pokémon needs a fat reboot in a similar vein as breath of the wild
It should copy the weapon breaking mechanic too, where if you use a Pokémon too much it breaks its limbs and you have to find a new one
@@Tylericous botw had a problem with that. I hate that feature but since its open world I wish they would just make it more durable
If they did that everyone would be mad.not to say im with them but pokemon fans are already mad that only 300 or so mons got cut in this game alone.
The Lord Autist that’s a genuine reason to be pissed, 1/2 the roster is cut when every other game had every Pokemon up to its generation besides the let’s go games.
@@sliceofham3737 did i reference that it wasnt?my bad if i did i didnt mean to take any shots cause everyone else has their own on the matter.personally i dont care so probably thats what happened but like i said i dont mean to take any shots at people who cared about it cause i understand why.
The "communicating" during online battles isn't because of the online service, it's literally just waiting for your opponent to pick a move
Yep. Been that way for years now.
....How did he not know that?
@@ceecee6521 probably never played a pokemon game before, or at least never played online before
Jordan it is actually from the servers
Master 811 nope if you do your moves immediately there is barely any down time
@@JordanII. Probably bcuz its not explicit that the opponent is choosing a move
“One new Pokémon is a stack of rocks”
Geodude is a rock with arms.

Idk what yall are talking about, geodude was innovative af
Think about how inspired it was to create a rock that evolves into a slightly larger rock that evolves into a larger rock
I just don't understand how the pokemon designs haven't been getting consistently better over the years. We keep on getting shitty inanimate objects, and other really ugly ones
You know the game is bad when one of the few good things Charlie lists out is "at least it's still Pokemon"
It's genuinely the good thing about the game, basic Pokemon stuff.
Then what reasons are there to play this game when the handheld games exist? a pity SaS could have been really nice.
@Sebastian Ramirez My big + is that just about anybody can put effort in and get endgame viable teams. You can farm for candies to get 100s, then farm battle tower to get any 'mon perfect with 1 exclusion being hidden abilities. Just the mere idea that you don't have to spend hundreds of hours getting 1 perfect, let alone an entire team, is why it's better than most other games. Had this game launched alongside HOME and have the ability to import any 'mon, had it had better graphics and optimization overall, it would've totally been 9/10 or more.
I'd still say it's something like 7.5/10, but it's the first game that I've actually liked since BW2.
@Sebastian Ramirez Except you don't have to use them. Sure, L and XLs are broken if you just started, but you can't join any random raids unless you have friends doing them. XS and S candies are hardly breaking at all, and you still don't have to use those either. Even without the candies, which I didn't even use, it was still dummy easy until the champion fight. The rest of the game my team was stronger than my enemies. GF is really emphasizing end game this time around, and as much as the amount of mon cut sucks, it really is much more balanced.
@@SausageBrosdotbik putting yourself in an artificial difficultly doesn't make the game hard, if the game gives you everything to became OP at the start of the game it means the game is super easy
That's so true, every trainer that brags about how good they are, 100% gonna get obliterated.
As a trainer myself, I agree
Though beating up people who flex in the discord feels good
Is this why Cynthia was such a force in a half in gen 4? Because she was a champion who introduced herself as "Just another trainer"
What I rate this game based on my experience with it:
9/10
What I rate this game based on my logical line of thinking:
4/10
Im glad somebody actually agrees that the game is really fun. It honestly has the most memorable designs and music over the last few gens and characters too. What saddens me is nintendos lack of understanding on what the fans want and their lazyness with it. They have gone a step up with the crown tundra (which honestly is amazing imo) and since they wont be making the gen 4 remakes they could work a lot mkre on the gen o games and realese them 2023. It would be the best time since a year wouldve pssed since legends and they wouldve had 3/4 years to work on it. If they improve on what they did in the crown tundra it could actually recieve a true 9/10 or even a 10/10 from me
@@imbaconplate8872 the game is fun bc its basic pokemon gameplay which at its core its fun, but its the same shit we have been getting for 20 years only getting worse and improving a bit every 4 or 3 gens
Imagine a game like Breath of the Wild with Pokémon. That would be cool. It'd be like a genuine adventure but with the role playing and monster collecting of Pokémon.
Imagine if the wilderness of BOTW was the Wild Area in SWSH.

Remember back when the rival was actually an interesting character who could put up a respectable fight
Ended after gen 2 with nice back story and challenging I mean gen 3 was reallly good but may/brendon was a joke
No, I don't. They were always pushovers. The only difference is that Hop was interesting and reacted to the realisation that he was a pushover, rather than just delusion.
@@sloppyphart7879 I do. Gary always kicked my ass, no matter what rival battle I did. Everyone after that was really easy, yeah, but I don't understand people's revelation about Hop's character development. I can't feel bad for a character that I'm scripted to beat. If there were an option to lose these battles, and it somehow regained Hop's pride so that he was more of a challenge in the tournament, I would've been all for it. Instead, it just feels like a really forced plot development that didn't make me feel any better for Hop, and actually made me dislike him more as a character. The development could have ended with a much better payoff.
@@iexisted583 I was thinking Wally for gen 3
The Rivals in SwSh were interesting characters, not N levels but decent. But they did not Put up a respectable fight. I could sweep Bedes and Marnies teams just with atleast 2 Pokémon. Surprisingly Hop’s was probably the best of the bunch.
Im glad Charlie gave this game a score that reflects the actual game
I mean, it really is half of a game. It's honestly the best mediocre game I've played lately, and that feels so weird to say.
"If you love Pokemon, you'll probably like this game."
It's because I love Pokemon that I loathe this game. I wish it could be better. Longtime Pokemon fans deserve better.
They took out a lot of power creep in competitive, and added ingame leagues.

@@robotboy5026 that's fair.
Robot Boy I thought this game was better than Gens 6 and 7. It definitely does not deserve to be on a home console, but at least this time they actually added enough new Pokémon that aren’t legendaries, mythicals, or ultra beasts.
Ethan albeit almost all the new Pokémon that aren’t legendary or pseudo legendary are not cool or cute I mean cmon well in my opinion
There's a reason why the game was named Sword and Shield. The sword is the fans attacking the game for not being complete. The shield is the fans defending the game, despite its flaws.
Why do people defend incomplete games?
They're going to defend Big Rigs: Over the Road racing right? It's incomplete like SwSh so why not?
That shit deep
You're onto something there buddy.
;p;p;p
Was that a nuxtaku reference?
"It's a carbon copy" "There's less stuff" so it's worse than the previous entries, got it
Carbon copy of the formula, less stuff as in bone dry post game less to do online and overall nothing to do on the main game besides Gyms and Raids
Back to Platinum and HGSS packed with crap to do
Actually enjoyed it more than Sun and Moon. But that's not saying much because that game was a slog. When people call Sword and Shield a turorial, it has nothing on Sun and Moon. All the other issues still exist, hey-- it is a step up from Sun and Moon.
Bose-Einstein I wouldn’t say a step up, Sun and moon had more extra features and lore. Characters were dynamic it was also poorly told then GF not knowing how to properly weave a story into a game and come off as intrusive as a Jehovas witness at a Pride Parade
That being said the scope was improved trials seemed so bare and toothless Gyms have this contagious energy about them this Gen, shame they didn’t do anything unique with them besides hyping them up
All in all it’s a step in the right direction with literally all of its demons from 2 Generations ago. It’s sad because all of these were fixed even further than that. Especially online with the PSS they have a diamond but their using a turd clad in glitter and calling it Day. Pokémon is in dire need of a new lead as Ohmori and Masuda have toxic game philosophies and are as out of touch with their fans akin to 2004 Circa Nintendo which they grew out of just recently
Bro I fucking WISH that SwSh was at the same level as any of the previous 3 pairs of Pokemon titles. It's worse.
@@TheGrandRevo Both Pokemon BW and B2W2 had so much to do in their post games, it's absolutely wild. One of my all-time favorite post-game experiences, I even consider it better than HGSS in some respects.

C Note for me it was heart gold and soulsilver, Ik you didn’t ask
@@cnote7408 it peaked at B2/W2.
After that its meh.
i guess ORAS is an exception cuz its a gen3 remake
@@cnote7408 lmao
Y was the peak for me. 270 hours in Emerald, but Y was soo coool and new! Sun was ok.. :/
Remember when your rival treated you like a trash?
Those were good times
There is another character called Bede who kind of fills that role for a while
He's more of a condescending douche than Gladio was
If u wanna make ur rival a friendly one, make him/her like serena from Pokemon X Y and if u wanna make ur rival an asshole, make him/her like blue
I don't like how you genuinely begun to feel bad for Hop after a certian point, especially at the end at like his last battle with you.
barry was the right way to make the friendly rival gamefreak is forcing rn
Thank u for mentioning how this is just the same game with a different paint it’s a point I’ve been bringing up for ages and for some one to bring it up just makes me happy
Pokemon is Madden for weebs. It's the same game every time, just a changed roster.
Pretty much, sun and moon is an exception
@@bluecollarcommentator7772 Ultra Sun is actually really good imo
Accurate lol
Bro....true
Pokemon does not get released on a yearly basis. Nor is pokemon a sports game. This comparison is flaccid at best...
This game was made with a free screen recorder.
Funny you mention that, there isn't even a built in battle recorder anymore.
really?
@@mekudu-man3804 there is a mouse cursor in the credits
This game could have been amazing. Better animations, tons of interactions with your Pokemon and really connecting, like a tomodachi and Pokemon game in one. Massive open world etc.
Instead we got Pokemon Sword and Shield.
It’s pretty bad when Pokémon battle Revolution, and Pokken two games made in 2006 and 2015 respectively have better animations and graphics than a Pokémon game made in 2020
Remember when people thought that let’s go and Usum were lackluster to buff out time for gen 8 so it would be amazing?
@@UnclePhil1112 it was made in 2019.
Personally I think we could forget most interactions with pokemon for more flushed out environments.
This aged well, we got Pokemon Legends Arceus.
Honestly the new pokemon are some of the most solid designs we’ve gotten in a long tim imo
Yeah because we needed MORE psychic fairy types. Solid.
@@iHasaComputer this gen is also tied with the most amount of dragons we've ever had, fairy's gotta keep those in check. plus there are alot of steel pokemon to counterbalance the fairy typing. so I fail to see your point
I like the sobble line, the grookey line...
And now I have to think of what other designs I like.
(I will say that this gen has better designs than gen 2)
Pokemon online on 3ds X and Y were straight fire
Yeah and the original DS Wi-Fi worked great with Pokemon as well. I have no idea whats up with Gamefreak
Online overall was much better on the 3DS. It had browser, apps and its own ''social media'' lol. Switch is mind boggling when it comes to online and they charge for this shit. I still can't message my friends on Switch. And I loved GTS but they had to just remove it for some reason. I can't even trade exclusive Pokémon anymore...
Only saving grace of XY was the neat online in spite of the lacking postgame. Now we have an even more barren postgame and worse paid online lol
Yeet. Even though XY's story and rivals and post game content and overall content were trash, the online legit was excellent. Wonder Trading, the PSS, even online battling was done excellently.
Even though I still rank XY among the worst, they still have that going for them.
X and Y are garbo.
And this is where I get off the Pokemon bus.
I'll get back on when the games aren't trash.
Youre gonna have to wait a loooooooooooooong time
@Alexander The Not As Great I didn't like B2/W2 as much as B/W. But I might replay them. After...I finish up my playthrough of modded Terraria.
This is why I love Colloseum and XD Gale of Darkness. They changed the fundamentals of the handheld Pokemon games for the console games. They were extremely unique, and while they weren't perfect, at least effort was put in to show that this is a console game. Not a handheld game ported onto a console.
What pissed me off was the hand-holding. I could've gotten over everything else, but at some point in one part of the game there was a straight path you walked, without ANY turns to get lost, unless you are 3 and have a serious brain disorder you cannot get lost here. But it makes you stop 3 different times so that little shit can say "Hey, don't know where to go on this 1-lane straight & narrow path? First get through my 3 pages of dialogue explaining how to walk, then follow me!"
And this is at like the 2nd or 3rd gym in the game. Like I just don't understand what they were even thinking.
To be fair, I think "Twitter virgins and their waifu" impression was what they were going for with Team Yell
When in reality Charlie apparently wasn't even bothering with the story. Yell only follows Marnie around because her brother, and also their gym leader, tells the gym trainers to dress up as a team and help her.
@@SausageBrosdotbik . . . Really? Wow.
@@WolwerLeague That is exactly what happens. Team "Yell" isn't an actual team, but rather a group of people from Piers' gym, sent by him to protect and help his sister on her gym challenge. The real antagonist team is Macro Cosmos, something that should've been expanded upon more in the story; sure, but something Charlie didn't even mention.
I mean, I like our moist boi critikal, but christ this was a show of pure ignorance. I mean, he forced himself to play a game he obviously didn't like. That bias really shows.
@@SausageBrosdotbik I'm aware Rose is the real villain, but I wasn't aware of Team Yell's origins.
Charlie and other people bring up pretty valid points for why the new pokemon games aren't all that great, but I guess he really didn't pay attention to some of the story (It's pokemon, after all. Storytelling was only outstanding in gen 5, imo. I guess Rose gets bonus points for being the least evil and selfish team leader from what I've seen. Just a man who wants to solve Galar's problems.). Still, Charlie's comments regarding Team Yell and Marnie made me laugh.
There is no fucking story until you get to the end of the game. These games are so fucking bad.
"First pokemon game on console"
*Pokemon Colliseum has entered the chat*
*Left*
It's the first main line Pokemon game
Main series game he meant
and pokemon XD
@@luii05 Pokemon Let's Go has entered the chat.
I really love how they themed a lot of the game around the uk
Nearly exact 10 minutes video without a single ad
It's so obviously rushed out. There's potential there that could have been realized if they took another year. Now it's just a lazy entry into the series we're stuck with until next gen.
The story feels so unfinished lmfao like there was supposed to be a lot more but they just dropped it for no real reason. Probably time. Gotta get the games out before holidays.
playing online literally gives me anxiety
Mmm

Your profile pic gives me anxiety
@@gaunterodimm4884 same

It's literally a gutted 3ds game upscaled
thats an insult to the 3ds pokemon games
I've been playing since red and blue. I remember having them for Xmas the year they came out.
This one is.... okay. Charlie nailed the review.
Hop is just a somehow weaker copy of Hau (the rival from sun and moon) he even has the EXACT same animations as Hau in some parts.
This game is just straight up lazy
buttered Toast every npc had that animation though
@@lgbtqiarights Keep in mind, "bettering the animations" was one of the reasons they cut 65% of the pokemon, only to find out that all they've done is reuse 🙂
bananas exactly, they lied to us for the sake of copy and pasting and just being lazy
@@skitterybananas1365 Not only that, but some of the cut Pokemon have models in the game. You just can't get them.
@@staticshock4239 there are only 35 unfinished pokemon, and the modders are adding some of the cut pokemon back in. SciresM will probably release a mod with a bunch of cut pokemon at some point in the future.
Technical stuff aside, Controversies aside, this was the most monotonous and lackluster pokemon game.
Why do they feel the need to baby up these games, you have games like pokemon let's go, baby those up, keep those casual, not the mainline games, make those harder but still appealing to causals. Keep things like the pokecamp and EXP Share(have it optional of course) but for for the sake of jeebus, stop making it hold you hand. This would make great opportunity to cater to both audiences and get the best of both worlds.
Get the casual people hooked then when they want to move up to the big kids table, they can have that, if they don't like the big kids table, they can go back to causal play. And then the hardcore fans will just buy anything pokemon, so you win there too.
These companies are gonna feel sorry when they push the core fans out and rely on only mainstream audiences, because they aren't loyal, they'll move on to the next dumb thing on a dime.
What makes it worse is the fact that Gamefreak lied about making new Pokemon models from scratch. The Pokemon character meshes from SwSh are identical to the ones from the 3DS games. So, them cutting out Pokemon for the sake of "efficiency" is fucking bullshit. And because the game has received good feedback, it's likely they'll keep cutting the National Dex in future games
I would say Polteageist is one of the better lookibg Galar pokemon
Better than Corviknight, Orbeetle, Centiskorch, Flapple and Dragapult?
@@TrufanNW
The fact that so many good designs show up is great. I wouldn't know where to start with ranking them. Dragapult would be a little lower down for me. Whilst I love it housing it's pre-evolution in it's headcrest like rockets I'm not too keen on how it's legs and hands just exist on it's body. A quadrapedle stance like St. Georges Dragon would have looked better for me personally but it's slightly awkward look is endearing.
I just really Like Perrserker
I love the fact that charlie's pokemon is called r/atheism

You never feel an attachment to any character's because they never take time to leave you alone once in awhile
You really hit the nail on the head with this one.
That intro where you were talking about the current state of games you are actually pretty right.
The champion has level 60 pokemon. At that moment, I had almost my team at level 80 thanks to the raids
This is coming from the best Trainer in the world, *_Grease King_*
Remember, they reused 3d models from the 3ds aswell as most animations, wich was the "excuse" for cutting half the pokedex. Skip of the year
They didnt reuse models, they kind of reused the base for the models but then upgraded them by adding more triangles/polygons I forgot what they're called.
@@mrmcharg1061 if i remember correctly they just updated the textures since there are multiple datamined models that are the exact same, also they said they were doing models and animations from scratch wich is completly false, hell, they didnt even scalate the models to the pokemons real sizes...
Chito ah yes, cause I want to see all blue on my screen next to a yellow pixel
@@Kirby950 ? if you are referring to scalated pokemon, go watch some pokemon revolutions battles and tell me it isnt 100x cooler when they are properly scalated
this... was literally explained and debunked months ago, i get this comment is a year old but come on
It's sad to see that it's the fastest selling new release on switch so far. Wish more people had decided to boycott this game.
Remember when pokemon gen 1 and 2 actually used every bit of information that their cartridges could use? Good times.
Iara Amelia so much so that some Pokémon had similar cries, because they pushed the hardware as far as it could go. Ah, good times
In fairness to the stonehenge pokemon, this franchise started with rock with arms and rock snake as two of the pokemon
Geodude and Onix look cool though.
Yeah and you would have guessed they have learned after 25 years
In this game there is also a Pokémon that is literally an apple with a tail that’s it
@@brando2624 It's actually a dragon in a apple.
@@brando2624there's also a literal magnet, ball, and pile of sludge in gen 1, people complaining about the new designs seem to overlook the early gens

Let’s be honest, if gamefreak did try and change Pokémon, people would just complain about that too
A lot more people would be way more content then just cutting a bunch of features and adding a new coat of paint to make it look pretty
King Dedede The sales show you’re wrong
@@jeremybjornberg9546 Dude its a pokemon game, ofcourse it'll sell well. Besides, sales don't show the game's quality, it just shows how many people were willing to spend money on it to check it out. I saw some people who actually didn't like the game very much after buying it.
As seen with assassin's creed odyssey. The difference is that the games would be better though.
No, actually. Pokemon fans WANT the games to improve. Me and my friends were so excited imagining a 3d pokemon game with real-time encounters back when pokemon gold was brand new.
There might be a few purists out there, but most fans want pokemon to become the ultimate game, basically, and are frustrated that the game is lagging so far behind on a technical level.
I enjoyed pokemon sword, but I would have enjoyed it way more if it was what was promised.
The team yell description is so accurate
This game desperately needed more development time.
But they couldn't because there's so much tie in merchandise like the tcg and anime
Honestly, I give it like a 65%, but 50% is more than fair
@Clayton Bigsby I'd give it a 45
yeah how dare they make a pokemon that is literally a rock and then give it two evos and make it a trade evo in the first gen
everybody gangsta during the story, competitive battling, breeding and the battle tower are where the real difficulties lie
charlie my man the communication pops up because your foes are choosing their move

It's because of that final evolution lmao
@@cartoondimensions why is it?
I remember losing against the elite four or the champion in the first four generations... does anyone else remember the good old days of challenge in a Pokémon game? I remember.
The games get easier and you get older, and get more experience, resulting in a huge difference in difficulty.
It has been 6 years since Gamefreak last made a new Pokemon game
Pokémon’s peak started with Platinum and ended after Black2/White 2.
Change my mind.
I wish we could go back to the quality and content that B2/W2 had
