  • Don't believe the hate!
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Shield
I really don't get why people hate on this game so much. Some tree textures weren't incredibly high-detail? Okay, it's Nintendo. The art style is never realistic and that is a strength, not a weakness. If you've played Scarlet/Violet, this game feels like it actually came out after those-- the quality is so much better and the world feels so much more fleshed out. The Britain-inspired Galar region is charming, the towns are lush with unique architecture, and the world just feels more like a real place where people live. I'm not usually a fan of battle gimmicks like Z-moves and mega evolutions, but the Dynamax system feels like they finally found the sweet spot and pulled the best parts from the other previous gimmicks that didn't fare so well. For more context: I'm a Gen 1 fan who hasn't played any Pokémon games since Gen 3 on the Gameboy Advance. But recently, I decided to marathon through and play one game from each generation to catch up. So after playing way too many repetitive Pokémon games for weeks, I should have been sick of it. This game was a breath of fresh air. For me, it feels like a visual representation of how playing the original GameBoy games felt-- it gives you an epic sense of adventure and a cool, bright world to explore. The gym battles in particular felt like the truest representation of what gym battles should have been from the beginning: without spoiling too much, they play out in huge stadiums with cheering crowds (and great music), and the trials that each gym puts in front of you before battling the leader are pretty fun/engaging. The storylines in this franchise are never fantastic, but as they go, this one was one of the better ones in my opinion. I also had my younger sibling play this game, who's a decade younger, and had never played through a Pokemon game besides Legends Arceus (also highly recommend that one) and they have always been turned away by the grinding, boring, repetitive nature of the mainline games. But they loved it, and even bought their own copy so that we can play online together from across the country. :) Basically, the hate for this game is a lot of nitpicking, and then piling on the hate because that's what everyone else what doing at the time so it seemed cool to do. Try it for yourself and just go into it without anyone else's criticisms coloring your judgment. There's a lot of fun to be had! ... show more

  • A Great New World to Explore
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Shield
There was a lot of controversy going into Sword and Shield, what with the #Dexit issue and the accusations of the developers not living up to their promise of a better looking, technologically improved game from the last generation of games. I went in not sure how I was going to like the game. I've played for a few hours now, and I can solidly give this game a great rating. In many ways, this is the same Pokemon storyline you've always had - you, a young kid, goes off on a quest to complete a Pokedex, battle gym leaders, and become the Champion. I'm not expecting differently from a Pokemon game. But moving the game to a console makes the game feel amazingly more immersive. X and Y really bumped things up graphics-wise, and this game takes things up another notch. Are there some occasional frame rate issues? Yes, particularly during battles. But they are small issues/drops in quality, and honestly, if you're buying this for a younger kid, I doubt they'd notice or care. The immersive nature of the world means Pokemon are much more visible - they're literally just running around the world. And when you walk into tall grass, they're visible. You can run up to them, or run away from them, and sometimes they'll even follow you around! This is especially true of the wild areas, which is where the game truly shines, I think. Wild areas are super open spaces with tons of Pokemon that allow you to battle, explore, and see lots of Pokemon, making the game a bit less linear than previous versions. There are also "super strong" Pokemon you need to avoid fighting until you're capable of beating them, so these areas have long-lasting value. The new Pokemon themselves seem great! I always try to grab as many "newbies" as I can when starting a new version, and I haven't been disappointed so far. Version exclusives for Shield are Galarian Pontya/Rapidash and new versions of Corsola/Cursola, which is now ghost-type (get it? Because climate change is bleaching corals? Nintendo went there!), as well as some other Pokemon from previous versions, like the Larvitar and Lotad lines. The Nat Dex controversy still stands - it personally doesn't bother me, as I hardly ever bothered completing it anyways, and would rather use new Pokemon to test them out, but it has been a dealbreaker for some fans. There is no National Dex after you beat the game. That being said, there's still a lot of Pokemon to choose from! I'm willing to bet any fan could find favorites from past generations in the there somewhere. Bottom line - are there some technical issues? Yes. Is there a National Dex? No. But this is a solid entry in the line-up, and the changes from past generations are fun and exciting. I can't wait to finish the game, continue exploring, and, of course, go buy the other version so I can do it all along. ... show more
