Finally someone said it. I swear to God, if someone only got their Pokémon opinions from /vp/, there’s a 40% chance they’d think that USUM were the best games and SwSh + DLC were the worst, when they are, at best, about on par with each other.
The games themselves were serviceable, the main plot though, was the worst one yet.

They are every bit as terrible as they are made out to be, especially after playing PLA and seeing what they are really capable of.
Not really. Honestly, I actually like it for the plot significantly more than gen 7 because it didn’t feel nearly as intrusive. People say that’s more a side effect than something actually intended, but it still makes the gamea better in that way for me.
>but they weren't as terrible as they're made out to be.
Just like The Force Awakens amirite
The Force Awakens was actually much worse than people than people made it out to be, at least when it first came out. People have finally begun to realize that over time, but holy shit that movie is bad, especially after you’ve watched it once.
>The Force Awakens was actually much worse than people than people made it out to be
No it wasn't. However, it kickstarted a terrible trend in Hollywood that ruined movies for 7 years after it aired.
TFA >well shot >well acted >good special effects >good characters
Where it fails is plot, and ironic reversal from the prequels.
SWOOSHIE is bad in everything and kickstarted the trend of GF being lazier and lazier with its games as we're about to see with SV
These poor kids gonna have a house by the time contractors get done on those models and animations.

Exactly, meaning we don't need to live off of marketing catchphrases from 20 years ago.

It's not about catchphrases, it's about principal. They made a game and expanded it to 800 game pieces. I've already paid thousands of dollars playing these games and playing with these game pieces that I've collected. I'm not giving them more money to play a cucked version where I can't play with all of my shit. You'd have to be moronic to accept that. I'm not a mindless moronic CONSOOOOMER that is just going to pay whatever they ask for anything they excrete onto store shelves. You made a game that the entire point is to be backwards compatible and trade shit around and mix and match shit, and you built it up to 900 characters or whatever we're up to, now commit to it.

Yeah, over the previous few decades when they were actually good and you could catch and trade for all the pokemon. I haven't bought a pokemon game since Sun and Moon. And yeah, those weren't that good, but at least you could play with all your pokemon.

Severely underrated experience and if you didn't do any multiplayer battles in Sword/Shield, you missed the point of the games.
*crickets*
I wouldn't say good, but they weren't as terrible as they're made out to be.
this
I'd say they're just ok. Not some abomination or whatever but just kinda meh

Hyperbole
pla was also bad
The games themselves were serviceable, the main plot though, was the worst one yet.
Okay I like Pokemon games but
>He plays Pokemon for the plot
The main draw of the games is the adventure itself, that is the plot.
The plot was so unironically terrible, that it was impossible not to pay attention to how bad it was, yes.

Pokemon will never be good again until you can get every pokemon on one cartridge.
and migrate old pokemon from pokebank
and be able to evolve trade pokemon without trading
The more pokemon in a single game, the worse it is.
Bro I'm not paying full price for a pokemon where you can't use all the pokemon. It's never happening.
What are you planning to do when there are 2546 Pokemon?
Pay full price for a game with 2546 pokemon in it.

No.

Am I wrong? Were they good?
>He thinks they'll keep coming up with new mons that long
Sword and Shield are the best games to date
It's fine, I guess
