sometimes I think about what swsh could’ve been and I get so sad
#it was...... disappointing to say the least#it had some very cool ideas#and absolutely zero writing#when i was thinking about getting it i looked up reviews and all of them were very positive#and i just??????? why?????????#nostalgia alone isnt strong enough to carry this one folks#i saw a twt about this the other day but stop giving pkmn guns?????? why would you do that in the first place????#one of my friends has >100 hr logged and i dont understand how#i finished the game in about 20 hr and thats WITH spending 5 hr in the wild areas#thats including post game!!!!#genuinely regret getting the bundle expansion pass ://#story driven games are my absolute favourites and we have evidence pkmn can do that with some of the older gens....#of the ds games my favourites are hgss and oras entirely because theres SO MUCH to do for both main and post game#oras’ post took me like 35 hr to get through!! i spent more time on bonus content than i did on the entire packaged game for swsh.......#like... bro.... if ur not gonna have shit ready in a quality you can be proud of.... pull an orre on us or even just delay!#dont publish if it sucks!#let the team actually work!#i just ifjrjfndjrn it couldve been so cool....#like theres really absolutely no story elements to all of the mysterious ruins around.....#god and dont even fucking get me started on their choice RE paleopkmn. im upset about that.#we couldve had a bunch of cool fucking pkmn based off of dunkleosteus n therizinosaurus etc etc..... and instead we literally get nothing#its an.... interesting..... concept... but if thats a mechanic they want to include i think there should be a mechanic to unfuck that shit#usually with the champions & gym leaders etc i actually care about them and they have personalities bc you have plot relevant buddy quests#but i just have no connection with any of them except for piers and opal#bc we actually interact with them outside of one (1) battle#god. and LEON. he could be so fucking interesting if we actually got to learn about him and how hard it is to be champion for 10 years.....#boys got a dark side! let us see it! let him be more than some chipper character that railroads the PC!#99% of this game is you getting railroaded by the PLOT. thats not good writing. and is in fact bad writing.#like. i love pokemon with everything in me and ill play any game placed in front of me but..... ow#idk they lost me a lot after BW. i liked BW i thought it was fun and explored ethics in a cool way!
