This review is disliked not only because the fan base is divided. Objectively, the review doesn't say much. It gets praise for simply being a Pokemon game, and the real cons are overlooked/ largely ignored.

@@memestar1118 It's a $20 experience they're charging $60 for. The animations and textures look pretty awful. Comparing this to an RPG that came out a while back on the switch, Dragon Quest 11. It looks great, GameFreak has no excuse. They apparently split into 2 teams to create "Town", which was also bad. They lied about the animations and models being new and high quality, they're the same as the 3DS ones. With 61% of the roster cut, I think the cons outweigh the pros

"I'd still like better cutscenes, companion pokemon, a compete pokedex and a more visually interesting wild area, but these are all just nitpicks that aren't very effective when the rest of the game is a joy to play". So in a review that's over 7 minutes long, these major issues are skirted over in literally 11 seconds. And there isn't even the slightest mention of the poor textures or frame rate drops. And people wonder why IGN aren't credible reviewers.

@@slothful2039 if she's 7 levels higher at a 34 vs 41 level cap she's probably been overleveled for at least 2 other gyms and then is further overleveled for future leaders. That is how pokemon difficulty works. You must not have played a game in a while if you don't realise that is often the case. Especially on 3DS games
@JordiVanderwaal4 жыл бұрын
That is NOT over-levelled. Also you don't know if the leader/rival had stronger Pokémon than that, or if that was her strongest Pokémon. Being 12-15 levels above the next gym leader is being over-levelled.
@Rptor_4 жыл бұрын
@@JordiVanderwaal Do you not understand how over-levelling is not directly associated with just a single battle but should rather be considered on the whole for the entire game. I would like to point out that at 41 (In the 4th or 5th gym I think) she is only 20 something levels away from Leon's teams levels. Also I highly doubt that her team jumps from 34 to over 41 in the matter of a gym battle (By that I mean in the same battle and not the following gym) That is just being silly.

- 11 pretty empty/hollow towns - 10 average routes - 4 (!!) dungeons in the entire game, of which two are tiny linear caves - no post-game areas except a pretty disappointing battle facility - around 160 battles in the entire game (everything included), in comparison: HGSS's Johto region had 158 regular trainer battles (not including gym battles, rival battles, evil team battles, legendary battles and so on) - an awfully paced plot, with almost nothing happening for the most part of the game, and a completely nonsensical climax with an implausible villain - a disappointing wild area (pretty small, with small weather areas that change instantly, nothing to explore/discover, no trainer battles...) - graphical/technical issues (pop-on of Pokemon, NPCs and berry trees, lag and stuttering in multiplayer (even game crashes!), connection issues, not updating stamps, delay, flickering shadows, bad textures, wrong battle backgrounds, average to underwhelming animations - questionable game design decisions (making the "exp share" mandatory, being able to engage in battle with high leveled wild Pokemon but not being allowed to catch them, making Dyna Raid Pokemon way too probable to escape which can be frustrating, damage caps on Raid mons plus dumb NPC supporters, no GTS, and so on) - cutting more than half of the Pokedex Just out of interest, not because I want to ruin your experience with and opinion on the game - but what are the reasons why you enjoyed Pokemon Sword and shield? I am sincerely interested, because I can't wrap my head around it. Having played all games since Gen 4 (and the Gen 3 games later) I just feel betrayed, neglected and provoked by this game.

*Dragon Quest XI on switch* - Has well over 100's of hours of content to complete as well as post game content. Has over 700 unique monsters with unique animations *AND* unique animations for their attacks. Is the best edition of the game, beating out both Playstation and Xbox. Has voiced acted cutscenes that can also be switched between english and Japanese. Has considerably better graphics as well as an overworld that can fit like 10 Galar regions in it. *Pokemon Sword and Shield* - Has cut the pokedex by more than half. Has considerably worse graphics and has the same pokemon models since gen 6. Has reused battle animations as well as reused character animations. Has a non existent post game unless you're into competitive pokemon. *THE GAME CAN BE BEAT IN ABOUT 15 HOURS.* All of this on top of the fact that the game is *STILL* marked at 60 dollars for less content than previous pokemon games that were 40 dollars before. *Big oof*

Speaking of time played, 40 hours is ridiculous for Pokemon when you can beat it in half the time. Pokemon sword and shield were great, and the 9.3 was Accu, but botw and Mario Odyssey only got that? Botw was a 12/10 game Edit: I give sword and shield more of an 8 at most looking back on it

K-LAWN Exactly. Had it been a small indie dev I would completely get it and the quality they deliver here would be more then sufficient. But that would basically be ignoring the entire history of this company and pretending previous games and billions and billions of dollars in profit didn’t exist. When they have the most profitable franchise in the world which has made them over 90 BILLION dollars, it just seems ridiculous when they start cutting corners simply to maximize profits.

well u c, by not #ThanksGameFreak for charging 50% more for 50% less content, you are literally encouraging them to continue making disappointing games on what should have been a new console and expectation shattering, rather than the drab same-old, same-old. I don't get how anybody can really subtract less than 1 point from a review for nixxing 50% of ALL content from the game. I guess, as a reviewer who does not have to continue playing the game after overleveling all its content and whizzing right through with no difficulty whatsoever, Sword and Shield is perfectly fine. No, to a lazy reviewer who is NOT the more hardcore pokémon audience, Sword and Shield is damn near perfect.
