Something that annoys me about the games that wasn't talked about is the Corviknight Taxi's. In the initial reveal where they revealed several new pokemon including Corviknight, they stated it would taxi you around like how a pokemon using fly would. I was looking forward to seeing how they'd make this look in the game. and it's nothing but a loading screen... No animation of a Corviknight carrying a box down for you to ride in, no animation of it flying you somewhere, you just click a button and get a loading screen.

I honestly feel like Rose could have been one of the most interesting villains in the series and all they had to do was say the energy crisis would occur in like 20 years instead of 1000. That would have made the impending fallout much more of a serious danger, and would have made Rose’s actions, while not justified, make a lot more sense, and would have painted the conflict as much more morally grey. But instead Rose ends up being the worst villain in the series all because of one tiny detail. It sucks

When you talk to him, everything goes quiet, and it's super intense. Then the soundtrack blares as the battle begins. It's truly incredible. In this game, however, the moment between Rose and Leon feels awkward and lackluster.

Would seem to make more sense as it would create sword and shield’s trio like Ash’s trio. She could have been altered to play a bigger role though maybe she finds out piers was trying to steal dynamax energy for their stadium or whatever. this isn’t what pokemon would ever do as they want to be for kids mainly but I really wish that Bede didn’t get kidnapped by an old lady when he could have played a bigger role, maybe sabotaging your stadium battles out of hate. he could also have been really wanting to beat you to pieces kind of hateful and then progressively have gotten more and more evil, maybe even using pokemon such as Solgaleo or Zekrom showing that he truly has become evil and has gotten all these pretty illegally obtained pokemon to use against other weaker trainers. Hop could have gotten way better pokemon and could have actually made your losing or winning to him change the story. I wish you could have played as multiple characters too like Leon.

Better idea for SwSh plot: So, the main idea is the same plot of rose setting up fake matches for Leon to win. However, Leon has no idea that these matches are faked and really thinks that he is the best trainer in the league. Rose is also secretly the leader of Team Yell, he intentionally uses them as blockades for stronger trainers in order to make the weaker trainers progress, he lets Piers be their “leader” which is why they help Marnie. The twist comes out when you and Marnie are at Spikemuth after you defeat the gym and you try to leave but, because you are a strong trainer, Rose orders Team Yell to lock you in. Neither you, Piers, or Marnie know what’s going on and they won’t listen to Piers. Then you have to explore more of Spikemuth making the city more than a giant hallway. You have to leave through an exit where there is no gate battling a bunch of Team Yell grunts on the way. Jumping to the champion battle, you are about to battle Leon but, knowing he’ll probably lose, Rose releases several dynamax Pokémon onto the field which postpones the championship match. This leaves Rose to figure out what to do tomorrow, and then he remembers Sonias study of the darkest day. He decides that, whatever it is, it’ll probably postpone at least one day and, that night, there is a power outage right before you go to dinner with Leon, and he isn’t showing up. He sends hop a text saying he’s at Rose tower and the same raid on Rose tower happens. After this however and when the cutscene at the end happens, he’s not talking about the demise of false in 1000 years, he’s talking about how it’s not worth Leon’s time and that Leon isn’t a real champion. The next morning, another huge power outage happens and you fight through the Pokémon league as usual until the end when Leon doesn’t show up. Until dark clouds form over Hammerlocke and Rose appears on the screen saying that he accidentally released eternity’s through the darkest day, not knowing the power he was dealing with. You go to slumbering Weald and get the sword or shield, go to hammerlocke, fight Rose, and go up to fight eternatus but, instead of seeing Leon catching eternatus, you see him on the ground knocked out. You fight eternatus alone while hop tends to his brothers injuries, eternatus eternamaxes and you both use the shield and sword. The legendary you chose joins your team for a short time to defeat eternamax eternatus and the other one helps Leon. You then fight eternatus alone with your legendary on your team. And then after this, Rose is arrested and the plot continues as normal. There are probably more ways to fix the plot but that’s what I had

My biggest problem with the game was the fact that the player isn't even an active participant in the main story. All the stuff involving the plot happens off screen until the final battles. Then there is the "Rival". I didn't like him.

Bede felt like more of a rival and even had a character arc while our actual one didn't.

Hop had a character arc. But I don't blame you for missing it. It's the same friendly rival arc we've had since gen 4. Rival starts out excited. Rival battles trainer and loses while either praising us or brushing it off. Rival encounters an antagonist and loses. Rival loses confidence. Rival has last stand. Rival loses and either, A. Decides to change his/her approach to training and battling, or B. Chooses a different path. (Probably becoming a professor). There's nothing new with Hop. He's all the friendly rivals without any of their charm and memorable personalities. He might as well have came from X&Y. He's about as memorable as that ginger kid. And the game decided to shove him down our throats when we could have been getting to know Bede or Marnie more. At least X&Y had the nerve to let you go off on your own for more than 15 minutes.

I wish the dogs represented more than just two dudes who used them to do something. Like in BW they represented Truth and Ideals, and N specifically sought one out for himself and one for you so he could test his truth against your ideals. It wasn't just big monster it was a philosophical debate. He wanted you to try to show him if your ideals where stronger than his and it manifests in a Pokemon battle. Xerneas is life, Yvetal is death. The ultimate weapon wiped out a bunch of people and revived Az's Flowette, which then left him in shame. They're basically a representation of Az's sin and mistake, and Lysander repeating it. Solgeo and Lunala are about what's her face growing up. And Zacian and Zamenzenta are... A sword and a shield to fight a monster that never gets mentioned until it shows up. Would it really be that hard to show the tapestries of the heroes fighting a monster with a sword and shield, with the sword representing necessary violence and the shield being idk, temperance and patience? The sword one (I can't even remember which is which anymore) could stay pretty much exactly the same and the shield one would probably have to have it's signature move changed to a status move. But even this change is way better IMO. Gives the pokemon a lore purpose, foreshadows Eternatus (way more that "THE DAHKEHST DAH" every other town).

I agree, although tbh Gen 5 had a lot of problems too at the time. It was the first story heavy Pokemon game, with cutscenes and everything, and the story as well as the talking dragged on for so long compared to older games. N became the focal point similar to how the gym leader is in SWSH. The overworld was so limited, that you had less ability to choose direction compared to older games, so you got a very linear progression. The pokemon designs (though leaps better then newer designs) were also hit and miss with most people. Some of my favourite Pokemon are from 5th gen, but things like Thunderous, Klingklang, the ice cream cone and similar just felt off. And that's despite the countless Pokemon tropes that they kept retreading for the 5th time. Now, 5th gen had a lot of amazing elements as well, least of which is the enhanced battle system, how many new niches were formed, the lovely artstyle and 2D animation, the cool gyms and their gimmicks, heck even team Plasma was a breath of fresh air compared to former teams. But if you look at the game from the time it was released and compared it to its predecessors, there were genuine complaints to be had there, much of which were steps that with each iteration lead to SWSH. That said, I agree with you, I like to think that even though I got tired of playing the game rather quickly, I felt 5th gen was the last genuine Pokemon game for me. Everything after I can't really recognize personally for various reasons.

@stinky I agree with trubbish. I disagree with vanillite. Voltorb is supposed to be a mimic, it's where the whole idea sprang from. Secondarily it also has a fitting plausible backstory in that they could be ghost Pokemon caught in malfunctioning Pokeballs from freak factory accidents, fusing with them. Even if the design is a bit too easy, if you look at its context and function, it's leaps better than vanillite imo. Vanillite doesn't really lend itself to a plausible backstory, and in function its essentially a block of ice shaped like an ice cream cone. That's not very interesting or expressive, but more importantly, it ruins the verisimilitude of Pokemon imo exactly because of how on the nose the inspiration is. In general an ice cream cone aesthetic doesn't do anything for its design, neither looks wise or gameplay wise. Trubbish is a much better design because it isn't literally on the nose a trash bag, it only resembles one, and you can more easily see it as a living breathing creature, especially in a world where Pokemon like Muk and the 3rd gen slime Pokemon exist.

The story definitely needed a revamp. How about instead of the mystery energy crisis happening in a thousand years, it happens in a week or two? Chairman Rose notices that power is being drawn into the egg and is talking about it to Oleana. The way they help postpone the energy crisis is by feeding wishing stars to the egg, which Eternatus is basically stealing the power to grow stronger. The player first learns about this by seeing Rose talking with Bede, praising his training progress and the amount of wishing stars he's collected. Bede thanks him and boasts more. Boom, immediate signs of a connection while showing character. During the journey, there are signs of the power going out and trainers mentioning Pokemon acting strange. Heck, this could be shown to the player by there being more aura Pokemon that actively chase you down. Even the more docile species go after you. Although have repel keep them away to avoid annoying the player. When the player and Hop meet up in Hammerlocke, there are multiple explosions. Leon and Sonia run off to take care of the Powerplant, but the player and Hop go take care of a rampaging Pokemon. More people comment how Pokemon are acting strange. Then when Bede destroys the mural, he vaguely says he truly knows what is going on and wants to help, but Rose says that he went too far. This causes Bede to be dropped from the championship due to destroying the mural. The player collects more badges and places actually start going dark. They can still get around, but it is a sign that something is wrong. Then Pokemon start randoming dynamaxing from Eternatus releasing the strange energy. The first time it happens, the player, Leon and Hop end up taking it down via raid battle style. This prompts Leon to do more digging along with Sonia. When the player gets to Wyndon, it is completely dark with only lanterns providing light. Maybe some Pokemon are wearing lights to help guide the way and people are still gathering to watch the battles? Then when it is time for the player to come across Rose and Leon talking, there is a lot more urgency. He talks about how he needs help. How the powerplant isn't producing so little energy, that it is difficult to get anything done, and how they are on the verge of a crisis. He needs Leon's help to destroy something aka the egg. Leon tries to downplay it and to just wait a few hours. Once the championship battle is over, then he'll help. Rose is highly reluctant but relents. During the battle, there is the explosion and Rose confesses that he tried to destroy the egg himself. He talks about how the darkness is actually the Darkest Day and he tried to prevent it. How it was worse than he thought. Then everyone rushes off to take care of Eternatus. The player and Hop run into Sonia, who mentions the whole history of this happening before and how the legendary dogs stopped this. They go to the forest to try to summon the dogs and see flashes head towards Eternatus. Then they all battle. This could probably be polished more, but that's what came to my mind.

Actually, every generation has had a group of people saying that "Pokemon isn't any good anymore" since Gen 5. The only reason why this got so big was because they cut the dex. That's where they fucked up the most this time around. Not many people would've batted an eye so long as they got their favorite pokemon in the game. Since they did that, people started picking it apart every aspect of it all the way down to the minor details. But just like every single group of people that didn't like a game in the past, there will be a group that enjoys the game. Personally speaking, I liked the game but definitely think it's one of the most lacking titles. Anyone that says it's more lacking than USUM, is being disingenuous. The fact that USUM got little backlash for being nothing more than Sun and Moon with a couple new pokemon, a slightly altered story, and a few news things littered here and there, still baffles me. The fact that there are so many people complaining about a unique game installment compared to the last mainline entry in the series is $60 yet barely anyone complained about spending $40 on a game they probably already owned, is bullshit. I honestly believe that there are a lot of people hating on the game just because it was the trendy thing to do on Twitter. That being said, I agree that this game could've and should've been better especially with the budget that they _should_ have. We technically don't know how their finances are set up, so we're speculating at best but I digress. The point is, this game is severely lacking in some important aspects which were pointed out in this video, yet it had plenty going for it to. That's why I like how he was fair with his judgement in this video and this is one of the few fair assessments I've seen on the web. Either people are too biased against or in favor of Pokemon/Game Freak making it hard to find genuine critiques like this video. The thing is, like I said, this game's reception will get better over time as we move onto the next game and so on just like the games that got labeled as "bad" in the past. Technically speaking, they were all bad in their own right as they were good, but it depends on the lens that you look at it. If you look for the bad and you'll see the bad, you look for the good and you'll see the good. I loved all of Gen 5-6 games and I liked Sun and Moon, but I cant get over what happened with USUM. No matter how I look at it, SwSh was a step up from USUM and I actually like that they're getting rid of the "sequels" and replacing it with DLC. Depending on how that turns out will dictate how I feel about the overall experience of SwSh. Still, there were too many poor choices in the development and marketing of SwSh that had noticeable outcomes in the gameplay.

Stuff like not getting previews of your clothing items when it'd been done fine in X/Y 5 years earlier, Game Freak's weird obsession with that one camera angle and especially the completely nonsensical nature of the story.

Most of the Pokémon along with all Mega evolutions shouldn’t have been cut for all of these bullshit excuses. A 3Ds can handle all Pokémon including 2 gimmicks like Z-moves and Megas but not a Switch with both Megas and Dynamax/G Maxing? Come on, Gamefreak, TPC, and Nintendo, they are the world’s highest grossing media franchise that makes 95 billion dollars as if that’s not enough for them? I expect more from them and being better than this when they are acting like those greedy and lazy triple AAA gaming companies. They better get it together and undo the problems like the dexcut in generation 9 because generation 8 is a half assed and rushed mistake and I can tell gen 4 remakes will suffer from this too with no megas and dex cut or god knows what else. They don’t get to make excuses anymore when cutting crap like everyone’s favorite Pokémon and other features. They caused Pokémon’s downfall.

While it’s very underwhelming compared to the older games, it’s still Pokémon at its core, gameplay wise, which is the main reason I enjoy it. The rest of the Pokémon National Dex being locked behind a paywall though, suck. I seriously think Gamefreak fucked this game up on purpose for some stupid reason, there’s literally trees that look more “modern” yet they decide to use the N64 ones in the Wild Area. They could have also literally said something like “The National Dex will be slowly added throughout time” or something like that and they would have avoided so much controversy. Who was the dumbass who said they were making “High Quality Animations” again? Because honestly they’re to blame for the fan base being divided.

Botw With Dlc content: A 50 hours story with a pretty good story, 20 voices scenes to find thought one of the biggest map Nintendo ever main, 5 full dungeons with 5 epic bosses, 136 shrines, 900 Koroks to find all over the map, an entire photograph campaign, lots of mini bosses, 90 side quests and a lot of costumes. And to top it of, 1 full 45 shrines challenge which is really hard and a full campaign based on the 4 main dungeons. Pokemon Sw/Sh with dlc content: A 15 hours journey on a fairly dissapointing map with the wild area which is pretty bland, half the pokedex cut, and mediocre story, really bad animations for a switch game. A really short dlc story that only had things that should have been in the main game, 100 returning Pokémon that should already be there, a better wild area, but clearly not even close to the beautiful MASSIVE map of Botw. A 151 diggets campaign which are basicaly Koroks without the puzzles and well hidden. And to top it of, a 3 mill+ watts project which is bad and only exist to make the game longer. And that, is for the same price

HOW TO FIX POKÉMON - Have new starters Ghost/Ice/Fighting (anything other then fire water and grass) - update the rival. Give them an actual story. Make then your cringe bubbly friend. Every victory you get over them they become more and more jealous. Until the end of the gym challenge they absolutely hate you. Make it more realistic. Friendships fail sometimes. - take out exp all. Makes the game a lot harder. - instead of having post game, have it be Arcs. Like an anime. First arc can be classic pokemon. Second arc is maybe being the champion and saving the land from some danger. Third arc is maybe a tournament. Be creative. - Pokémon level cap goes up to 150. To make up for the bigger arcs. We don’t need Pokémon being an open world land. That won’t save it. What we need is good writing

I've said this before in other related SwSh videos, but I think there's something to really be addressed with "Accessibility" and the idea of making something too hard will drive away a younger audience: The worst thing you can do to a kid is treat them like one. Take into account the following: Kids get woken up by their parents, dressed by them, told what they're eating for breakfast, and get told to go to school 5 days out of the week. There, they're marched around in lines, told what to do, when they're going to do it, what they can't do or can't learn, how to play on the playground, how to act, how to dress, and how to learn. All this his accompanied by an alarm that dictates the time to switch on and off each and every regimented subject. Then, look at the ways that kids in the modern era (And Hell, even my era) "go to work", and then tell me: Why the fuck do they want to spend their free time being told what to do, and how they're going to do it? Why do you think games like Fortnite and CoD Warzone are so popular? Neither of those games tell you how you're going to do stuff. They tell you what you need to do, and let you put two and two together to surprise you with the results. Kids aren't idiots. We all figured out an "inaccessible" Pokemon when we all were kids, and even with his convoluted EV and IV mechanics that it never explains at all, we got through the games just fine and grew to love them. Why does Gamefreak think it needs to fix something that isn't broken?

Pokemon NEEDED to go 3D. However, Game Freak just aren't competent enough to make a good Pokemon game in 3D, at least not within their preferred biennial release strategy. Game Freak have made the same games for 30 years with just more Pokemon and different NPCs and have gotten away with it every time, whilst other companies have been innovating and changing formulas, Pokemon has remained stagnant and the development team as a result is stagnant. The development team are not accustomed to 3D design which is one reason why they've strictly stuck with handhelds and have slowly improved the graphics each generation. Now they've moved to home consoles, they are going to need to hire good animators, better designers, so on in order to move forward. There is no 3DS 2.0. Game Freak need to innovate for the first time in 30 years and that comes with changing culture. If they don't, they will become just like Activision and EA with their annual FIFAs where they release the same game over and over.

@@h3nder The game looks terrible graphically for a Switch game. The only positives are the cinematic cut scenes but Game Freak don't make those, it's actually Creatures Inc. Game Freak need to hire better employees or simply recruit Bamdai Namco's batch of employees who made Pokken in order to collaborate on a blueprint mainline title that will actually not be thrown in a ditch. You won't get a good, proper 3D game (XY is not 3D, more like 2.5D) until Game Freak hires better employees or retrains their staff. They wouldn't have had this problem if Nintendo made another dedicated handheld but the Switch Lite proved that there will be no more DS line

I often see people paint you as the guy who got popular by ripping on SwSh, but your passion for the franchise is on full display when you give such spot on constructive criticism as shown in this video. As of late, Pokemon seems to have been trying to shed the RPG genre as much as possible. Lack of exploration, emphasis on cutscenes, dumbed-down mechanics, generational gimmicks, forced EXP Share, etc. It seems like you picked up on this too, as you brought it up as part of your critique, and I think that despite regressing in some areas that were previously series staples (like a full NatDex), they could've really put out something special had they really fleshed out their characters and been less apprehensive about fully adapting to a more character-driven story like they seem to have been trying to do for the past few gens at least. I guess to me, the biggest problem with SwSh is that we were told that the dex cut was so that other facets of the game could shine. And while there may be very strong reasons as to why that statement may not be completely logical (pre-existing future-proofed models, etc.), it was still an avenue that I was willing to explore. Even if the previous games didn't have the best graphics or most intricate plot, they at least had a plethora of monsters to catch and collect that gave variance to their battle system. Not only did they cull the cast of SwSh, but they merely planted the seeds of good story/characters, but never went anywhere with them; - Hop's sense of inadequacy living in the shadow of his brother's greatness, and their relationship. - Sonia's trendy, youthful exterior beguiling her dashed dreams and hopelessness, wanting to leave a legacy but not knowing what she wants to do in life, and finding her calling. - Leon's burden of celebrity and expectation, the possible scruples behind sponsorship and endorsement, and not giving concessions to anyone in order to be the best, even friends. - Bede's past of growing up as an orphan under the wing of Rose and the arrogance that came with it, having no agency and being forced to pursue his scheme, only to be tossed aside. - Marnie's motivation for attempting the Gym Challenge, her hometown, the story behind Team Yell, and her brother Piers. - Rose's company, his thought process behind his entire scheme, Eternatus. - Plus all the gym leaders all having more substantive characters and context, the real mystery behind Dynamax, the legend of Zacian and Zamazenta, the possible link to Kalos and their history.. All of the things I just mentioned are hinted at or referred to at some stage in the game, but are never elaborated on. It's a waste because, to me at least, they're all really interesting ideas that I'd love to explore, but all we are forced to settle for are tiny crumbs of backstory that don't do anything to satiate those who are at all invested in their game . I'm honestly a fan of the idea that the franchise branches off and becomes separate titles that serve different genres. A Colosseum-esque series that becomes the flagship for proper animations and competitive battling/online modes (made by someone other than GF), and a more story-centred RPG-lite (sort of like Japanese visual novels) to offer more worldbuilding and character progression with less focus on battling and online functionality. They've tried to reinvent the wheel with the Island Challenge and the stadium competition, GameFreak simply cannot meet fan expectations while delivering the quality of year-on-year improvement. It's time to shake up the formula.

The biggest gripe I have with these new games is the forced story. I play Pokémon to TRAIN, battle and BOND with my Pokémon, and yet, this game, the others too, completely MISS the aspect of why we enjoy the damn game from jump. It wasn’t because of the cutscenes or meeting new npcs, making friends in the game and etc, but that’s exactly what it feels like they maximized on. Why is everyone so damn friendly?? It doesn’t help make the game more difficult or challenging. I wouldn’t even care if they were super nice, yet had badass Pokémon like Wally or something. But no, your rivals are nice AND weak. It makes me do an audible groan every time I get interrupted for some bullshit

To battle other champions like in past games but NO. that's the thing that hurts the most. A mobile game looks, feels and plays better then a main game.

Wouldn't surprise me if they intentionally put more effort into Pokémon Masters just so they can later justify and drop the bombshell news that they'll shift their focus to mobile games in the future. After all, if Masters and Pokémon Go performed better, surely the fanbase wants those kinds of games more, right? No need to put time, money, and effort into next-gen graphics, open world exploration, better-written storylines, and innovative gameplay improvements. Less work for more money, what more could a company want?

Having a yearly cycle of gym challengers opens up the opportunity for so much replayability! Imagine: you start the game near the wild area, and choose to catch your own starter (like Wally) or get one of the main 3 from the professor. Then all the trainers getting stronger as you go makes sense, COS EVERY TRAINER WILL BE DOING THE SAME CHALLENGE AS YOU. It would be such a cool way of seeing teams shaping up as you play. Teams and trainers could change after each badge. Then, and I love this idea, after you become champion, you can choose to do the same thing again! You box your old team and play again, with new boys and the trainers are justifiably reset, because everyone else restarts too, but there's no plot events now. Then you could have Leon or someone still be a presence, cos they could be like 'Well I won 10 times in a row, get on my level' and people with passion could keep up that passion. If you want to play with your endgame boys, just go to the Isle of Armor of Crown Tundra, where there are no team restrictions.
