This is a reupload of my critique of Pokémon Sword and Shield. I rushed the original and left the transition music too high. This version boosts and levels the vocal audio while drastically lowering the transition music volume. Thanks for watching :)

Pokémon Legends Arceus review has been up for a while if anyone's interested: ua-cam.com/video/5dq4QtPNiqU/v-deo.html
Got buried by the algo, hope you all like.
glad to see my recommendations are working
earning that $0.12 an hour 💪
The entire game is "We couldn't be bothered. Give us your money."
Yeah.
And: Yes, yes, nice paid DLC - though I've seen way better. From Noob Programmers, sometimes.
But the Main Games are just embarassing.
...Incapable of treating people like intelligent: that's the problem of modern Pokemon, Doctor Who and Star Trek.
Especially Pokemon makes the excuse that they specialize on children, which not only ignored their actual Fanbase, but the really
hilarious fact is:
The children are annoyed too... yeah, really.
I have seen children, unbiased and never part of an online-forum-battle, but fans of Pokemon still, seen
playing Sword and Shield (well, only Shield, but you know what i mean) and they stop dead in their track
sometimes and ask "What is up with Gamefreak?"
Especially with such scenes like the Hotel Scene, where your babies like no baby ever deserves.
There is just no excuse for this. Even little children, who are not the most of the players, stop and wonder
what this nonsense is.
All this seems a Trend. Humanity gets dumber.
Multiple Franchises are basically burning right now,
and lets not forget all the Issues around Netflix, that
rightfully costs them Subscribers.
Hey.
Just saying:
Are you are Pokemon-Fan but not
a Gamefreak-Fan?
Then 'Buddymon' is just for you.
It's a Fans Reaction to Gamefreaks Mess.
But not just any Fan, but a Big Poke-UA-camr
who has proven he is EXTREMLY creative.
'Buddymon' is his project and he says he's ready
to put as much money as needed into it,
even if he becomes broke for a while.
I mean, sure, you can just try Pokemon Ranger and Mystery Dungeon - absolute
amazing, outstanding games with better storys than ANY Main-Game,
but how about also checking out Buddymon?
Sorry for the long comment, but i just want more people to know this.
@@slevinchannel7589 you're spamming the same two replies throughout the comment sections. Get more creative with wording if you want to spam.
Yeah the series is complete rubbish these days. So greedy and cheap and basic.
Yep gen 7 and gen 8 are definitely a case of we can't be bothered.
Centiscorch gigantimax is my favorite pokemon in this game and should have been the 3rd evo stage much smaller of course change my mind.

This was an astoundingly interesting watch
I was legit thinking as a kid that charizard in SM was gonna be like latias 😅
in defense (a flimsy defense tbf) the stadiums were built over power spots which allow for dynamaxing, there may not have been one in that town
I remember in Rayman Raving Rabbids, how the colisseum were you played the minigames would actually gather more and more Rabbid fans because they became increasingly more interested in Rayman, and I always thought that was cool. You'd start with a barely awake group of rabbits and end with the colisseum chock full of screaming fans. The warden would also treat you with more respect the more minigames you completed.
I need to stop watching those SWSH reviews, I get mad every time. Not mad really, just disappointed. Pokemon games have such a big potential for immersion and I see fantastic ideas all over the place, but Gamefreak seems to never listen to fans and stick to the same patterns again and again. They even made good things in the past, just to remove them for no reason. I'm a pokemon fan since red/blue, I didn't buy Let's Go and USUM, this time I was like it's gonna be on the switch it must be a good game... unfortunately it is not. In the end, I guess I'm wrong because they make a butt load of money from this.
I totally feel you. I can recommend Pokémon Colosseum, it’s a spin off made by Genius Sonority for GameCube. It’s demanding, difficult and has a quite dark story (for a Pokémon game). The fact it only uses double battles makes it a lot more strategic. For the future I’m hoping for strong competitor in this genre. Temtem doesn’t seem to be what I’m looking for. I don’t want another game that starts by waking up in a small town living with your single mom...
At least the trees in Zelds Breath of the Wild look detailed...
Just saw a vid making fun of the DLC and how slow the pokemon follow the trainer, lmao!!
I am you. You are me.
Played every one from blue and up, but I stopped at the audacity that was USUM.
The removal of Dexnav, PPS, Roller blades, mega evos, soar (which was underrated in ORAS) and a big post game like HGSS or BW2.
@@annemarieforster3736 Colosseum was awesome. I still remember the first time I played it and was just thrown in with two of the best Eeveeloutions..
I've been dying for another pokemon game like that where you start off in the hub city.
Maybe catch your first pokemon instead of being a special child who just moved to the region or something stupid like that.
After all Pokemon is the highest grossing media franchise in the world! and yet they don't have the idea to invest to delay the game and make it better... Litteraly showing how they do with a rushed cooked meal for 2.
I'm so mad that your home town and gathering up fans idea is so much better than what we actually got. UGH!

When seeing Dynamax before ever playing the game, i already knew
this feature is dumb, but what was more important to me, was the Plot Hole this presents.
Cause you know yourself, the trainer, and also your opponent and ALSO YOUR FANS WHO WATCH? They're all Dead.
There are no Barriers aor Forcefields of any kind, and funny enough, even regardless of that,
compared to the Dynamax Pokemon, the Arena is actually too small.
It's all so weird. No one put effort into this, obviously.
So yeah: You, your opponent and the Viewers who came with their children to watch the Show: All dead.

Can I just say I'm now in love with the idea of some hood kid doing back alley pokemon battles until they gain the rep to be scouted? That's a brilliant idea that would be so relatable and I didn't even realize how played out the country-ash-pallet-town-kid deal was until you said something. One like for you sir!

Even though I wouldn't find it relatable it is still an outstanding idea that pulls me in. It is such a fun premise I truly believe anyone could enjoy it.
@@slevinchannel7589 are you a bot? You posted this under another comment as well.
The problem isn't even about the idea, it's about how it's executed.
Both of these ideas are generic, but one of them is overused and wasn't executed in a creative way and that's why it feels pretty boring.
if pokemon had grown up with its playerbase it would be the best game in existence. as is... disappointment is a perfect word to describe it.
Meanwhile Digimon is getting more mature because most of the player-base are young adults and up by now and they can be more risky of story-telling. And Digimon is consider a niche franchise by now but it don't mean it's bad!

@L Lawliet Yeah, but people came back later and understood how amazing the Generation is.
Generation 4 and 5 were the Hight of the Franchise, 5 just had a weird start. People didnt instantly realized how good it is, but it still was and now people even get that.
You cant compare this to 7 or 8.
Do yourself a Favor and try Generation 5 again. It's amazing games, if you got over the first badge.
I think part of the problem is that a huge part of the playerbase *can't* grow up - anytime a new game comes out a bunch of dudes from the 90's crawl out of the woodwork to ask where Charizard is.
@@slevinchannel7589 L Lawliet is right. Also, coming back later doesn't really matter in terms of marketing. Pokemon is having less sales in younger audiences and they want that back, because mature audiences grow out of things and thus the sales decrease. This explains their choices as of late.
You know... I have a lot to say about gen 5 and its sudden love now, so the upcoming text is a bit long, you have been warned.
You know that people used to call me a dumb idiot for liking gen 5 back in the days? I'm serious, I went through so many years thinking I had a horrible taste in pokemon due to the amount of shit that was thrown over me by the internet and even by f*cking friends when I defenden gen 5 back then. I was always scared for those questions "what's your favourite gen?'" and the amount of judgement I got when I admitted it was gen 5. And now I know that the hate on gen 5 wasn't justified at all from the very beginning: it was just people not liking change and jumping on the bandwagon to hate it.
So why does everyone suddenly loves it now, what made them realize they were good? Easy. Because it's not a trend anymore. The recent games, with SwSh in particular, are the new scapegoat because of the amount of problems they have. If it weren't for that, gen 5 would still be the most hated gen - it took a game full of problems to make people realize how polished and good the gen 5 games really were. And that's fine, you can change opinions, you can realize things only later. But now everyone is jumping on the bandwagon again, and saying that gen 5 games were the best. Comments and streams are filled with positivity and when someone says otherwise, they are suddenly called uncultured swines again? Yeah, f*ck off. I hope everyone enjoys the games and realize they were wrong and start forming their own opinions from now on.
22:10 I don’t say this often because I hate sounding like over indulgent to youtubers but....it actually emotionally hurts me how ideas like this are never implemented in this pretty much stagnant (in my opinion) video game series.
This idea greatly enhances the story the immersion, and the gameplay in the healthiest ways I feel
Ikr!

Dude! Could you imagine gutting a bulbasuar for his leg femur?? Yessssd
"A battle where we're meant to lose" This is something I think Pokemon has been missing for a long time. Even going backwards into the better gens, I feel like there's very few trainers who are deliberately overpowered as fuck. When an antagonist or champion or whatever is bigged up as being this hyper-powerful figure, I want the battle with them to be something I genuinely struggle to win. In B/W and B/W2, when I face Ghetsis, I want him to have at least late 50s Pokemon and his Hydreigon should be 64-66. I want a fight that I have a good chance of losing. I want gym leaders with Pokemon that are considerably stronger than mine. Most of all though, I want more intelligent AI that actually switches Pokemon frequently, uses the right moves and uses items effectively. At the very least, I think gym leaders and the elite four, as well as the team boss should have at least EV perfect Pokemon, and even better if they are IV perfect as well. These people are meant to be strong as a job, I'd like to think they actually invest time in building strong Pokemon.
I'm sick of winning every single battle ever. I want to lose at least once to most gym leaders. Winning first time round should feel like an accomplishment instead of the norm. Just winning all the time without a real challenge doesn't feel much different to cheating.

@@slevinchannel7589 SwSh is just so low effort all-round, you can tell it was rushed to meet the yearly schedule. Let's hope Striking Sword and Steel Shield and/or Gen 4 remakes have a bit more effort put into them and are actually playable games, although I really don't have my hopes up at all.

1 word : hacks. We need official thou
What's worse is that the games constantly try to make a big deal out of the gym leaders etc. Especially Sword & Shield where all gym leaders are basically celebrities and have a whole stadium behind them and then you just oneshot everything with no effort. There's so many fundamental immersion breaking things like this that makes the game incredibly dull and implausible..
You don't even have to train your pokemon anymore... They literally evolve in your party without being used once in some cases. How does that make any sense? Immersion broken yet again.
2:00 That's probably cause Battle Revolution was made by Genius Sonority, not Gamefreak. and man, they really need to get another chance to make a Pokemon game that can live up to that initial trailer.

@@slevinchannel7589 Not really gonna bother with anything fanmade.
Why?
Well, Nintendo goes CnD.
Actually here is an interesting add on to that. Gamefreak does not make pokemon models and animations. Creatures inc does. Creatures inc also made the ones in the genius sonority games meaning the potential for higher levels of quality models and animations always existed.
The battle revolution game also uses their own future proof models like what gamefreak promised starting with gen 6 models, but then stated they had to remake all models and animations in Sw/Sh instead of porting them again. All gen 1-2 pokemon were from the stadium games, while gen 3 pokemon were from the coliseum games. So yea a lot of their excuses were just half assed crowd control used to rein in the crowds that wouldn't bother fact checking a single claim.
Shouldnt we use Strength-in-numbers
and Mass-Tweet Gamefreak and its Big Shots?
Shouldnt we do that, so they
are aware of stuff?
Send them some Links maybe?
Theres literally Documentarys about the state
of this Franchise. Shouldnt we send those to someone?!?
Remember that one time where people lashed out at Konami for making you pay for extra save files in some shitty Metal Gear spinoff?
Why does *this* get a free pass? You are paying full retail price... for essentially ONE extra save file and the same fucking game... AGAIN!
...and no, the switching User "trick" doesn't work if you want online functionality for that "file."
You actually have to make another email, make a new Nintendo Online account, and subscribe again for another service.
Fuck this horseshit. This business model has gone on for too long.
Make it stop.
Honestly I feel like they started it on the DS and then ported it the last year that's why it came out shitty
that might explain things like the trees
I just think they didn't have a lot of time to redo things and refine others, and that they didn't know much about how to do it.
@@unripetheberrby6283 they started working on the game since 2014 well over 4 years to make this so there is no excuse when they have the most money for a game company that won't seek the help they desperately need

The irony of a game focused on evolution that refuses to evolve with the gaming industry and its player base.
Except it is evolving. They got tons of Pokemon running around instead of just being in random grass areas, They had random insane high levels roaming around which made the world feel more real, and they had Pokemon just roaming in their natural habitats and had them change depending on the weather. Was the game good? No. Did it help progress the series? Yes.
@@actuallykiro6998 and how was the post game? The legendary encounters? Etc? SwSh took the game backward in a ton of ways
@@actuallykiro6998 it is Evolving, but very slowly
@@actuallykiro6998 I dont know,I still enjoy black 2 and Heart gold more than all 3d pokemon games (except colosseum ,and xd those games are awesome)
@@actuallykiro6998 The game is graphics wise is terrible and the animation is so stale. Pokemon red and blue have more life than this game
The problem is gamefreak made and even now makes too much Money with sword and shield because the fanbase was so hyped for the first console 3d Pokemon maingame. They dont need to improve that much If its the best selling Pokemon Game. Thats so sad i Hope they will improve a Lot for possible D/P remakes but my hopes are not that high
I don't even want them to make DP remakes, because I know they're gonna handle them poorly.
@@ImDudeRandom90 yet they'll sell gangbusters anyways because muh nostalgia
As someone who grew up with gen 4 they better not mess that up because if they do I feel like people will be a lot angrier.
There is no hope for the series until it is announced that a new studio has been working on a game or is working on a game.
Until we get a studio with vision, budget, and time to basically fix the series there is no hope for *any* of it being good.
Fingers crossed that the next game's sales are abysmal, the game after that even more. That is what had to happen to a bunch of other yearly release games before they got their 2-3 year development cycles.
I love EVERY idea you bring up.
I've always wanted them to change up the starters and give you a choice of like Dragon, Steel or Ice etc.
Its like they take 3 steps back and a half step forward jesus.
Best review/opinion on this game I've seen.
Ikr! Personally my favorite pokemon are Chandelure and Lucario, so it would be really, really awesome for this to happen. Instead of your partner pokemon, the pokemon that's supposed to be closest to you the whole game, being either a fire or water type (be honest, the last few grass types haven't been super cool). Because honestly, they're not my favorite types (quote mentioning my favorite pokemon in the beginning) and part of the time I dont even have the basic 3 types on my team! Also, one of the reasons I was really interested in pokemon eevee/pikachu is because how you meet your partner is in the grass. Because, like in the video, it's become generic and unearned to just randomly get a choice between three pokemon. Grass. Fire. Water. Especially since their not super effective on most of the following gyms. Only the first three. It would be way cool to be able to form a pokemon bond with a pokemon your really attached to when you first see it.

@@slevinchannel7589 thanks I'll check it out! :D
You know what I would think would be a nice idea regarding starters? We start the game when we’re a little kid, much too young to start our journey, but for our birthday Mom lets us pick out our very own pokemon. You get to pick whatever type you want and each option has a starter, and you get to have that pokemon as you grow up and when you’re old enough, you set off on your own journey with this pokemon you’ve had for years, you and your best friend!
I’m really tired of a professor who we just met handing us a pokemon for literally no reason. Also, you see people around the world who’ve had pokemon be apart of their families, but for some reason, the player has never had that
@@heath6802 LOVE THAT IDEA 💖💖💖💖.
You've stepped on my nerd rune... Regarding the gym leaders only using a certain number Pokemon of a certain level; This is explained by Brock in Origins. He chooses two of his lowest level Pokemon because it's his job as a leader to test new trainers. Misty, as the next leader, would be the first leader to test a trainer's progression. It makes perfect sense *IF* it's properly explained, which no game has ever done!
This ties in perfectly with the after-game of Platinum and Kanto portion of Gen.2, where leaders have much larger teams with much higher level Pokemon and some even use strategies such as setting up Stealth Rock on the first turn.
SwSh made me so mad when I realized that it was just going to follow the same old copy & paste train track progression system where all the leaders are fought in a set order. Imagine if we could go to any town and challenge the leaders in any order and they choose their teams according to your own trainer level - yes, trainer level. A new leveling system that tracks the trainer's level and not just the Pokemon they use.
they also made it a point to mention before the games release that there was a gym for every type in galar. so i thought this was going to be the case, 15 gyms to choose from, but only needing 8 to qualify for the league
but nope. they dont even mention the other gyms in sw/sh, aside from random npcs having throwaway lines about it. false advertising, if you ask me. same as "being able to obtain more apricorn balls." yeah, like a 1% fucking chance from 4 apricorns at once, that you have to spend forever to collect
jesus, pokemon sucks now
@@yourehereforthatarentyou Well they did correct that because it was misunderstood by the majority of people which is gf's fault for wording it that way so not false advertising just bad communication.
This makes sense but for the first two gyms only, after those the real difficulty should be in actual strategies, not levels. GF should implement Gym Leaders with tougher and tougher strategies and synergy between their Pokemons
@@pascalsimioli6777 Levels play a key part in the progression system in Pkmn games so a level-based system is absolute, but i completely agree that strategy should also be a key part of every gym. It's just disappointing how basic and unimaginative the games are. The Elite 4 also disappoints me in every game. In the DP anime it's made clear that the E4 members often challenge the champion for the title. You'd think there would be more to being the champion in the games, where the E4, gym leaders, rivals and other random trainers challenge you for you title, but i doubt we'd ever see anything like that while GameFreak are in control.
@@2KXMKR I am currently playing Radical Red (a rom hack) and, while I don't agree with everything they did, they gave gym leaders teams with strategies and counters, for example it's a bad choice to go against brock with water types

40:17 - 40:23 that little glitchy black line, at the bottom of the screen seems to signify how high the bar is, on how much fun you are allowed to have in this game.
😂
You literally can't... Really have fun tho and thats a damn shame. I can't even make a good or fun team in this game so I just gotta role with the best ones I have :/
I actually had to nerf myself in order to eat any real challenge out of it. The Corviknight line literally fucking sweeps nearly the entirety of Sword.
Really good video! I did enjoy Shield and I love my team but it's just a shame how flawed and like...lazy the game comes across. Though the music I think was incredible at least.

Dude I definitely felt the same way about the rivals. Like Hop is.....okay, I don't really hate him like a lot of people but I don't like him much either. Marnie being your main rival as you start from Spikemuth would've been much more compelling. Bede being the Galarian Gary Oak that's always ahead of you both and makes sure to let you know everytime you meet (overall have him more involved in the plot as well) until eventually he faces you in the champion cup. Like you said they should allow the protagonist to lose battles to rivals. Take it even further and make Bede 6-8 levels above your team to increase difficulty of his rival battle and for god sakes give him a diverse team that doesn't get 6-0'ed by grimmsnarl. If you do manage to beat Bede his disbelief will feel genuine and your victory earned each time. This alone would've made a more interesting story without even touching anything else.
bede is sick
@@red.4712 factual.
Bede's character arc happened off screen. What a waste of potential
bede couldve actually had a good character arc, but it all happened off screen and him going “i wore pink and trained also i accept you win” doesnt make me like him lol, it was wasted potential honestly
OK I love the idea of using the inner city start with Marnie as your main rival.

SP is still strong with ORAS too. Just going online gives you passes, and the secret bases are constantly updated. Its like people create their own pokemon gyms. Too bad there were no water secret bases. I liked Team Aqua's premise of a secret base
Wow first time see someone likes squidwart and gaybert as a character
I don't think he liked them that much, they were ridiculous but at least they had better motives compared to Chairman Rose. That made their story slightly better and enjoyable compared to Rose.
The UK is weird when it comes to measurements. People’s heights are usually measured in feet and inches, amounts of specifically milk is measured in pints, car speeds are in miles per hour and people’s weights are usually in stone and pounds. Everything that isn’t a similar sort of size is almost always done in metric.
Its bc we used imperial till the 50s, sometimes we use cm, sometimes feet. Miles are always used for driving. Milk and alcohol are the only ones measured in pints

I’m sorry but I’m super tired of having to be a child in these games.
Me too. Why can't we be given a choice of being a kid, teen, or adult? It's the *8th* generation for crying out loud! Why can't we look like our real selves, our real ages? I've been a fan since Gen 3, but I'm so disappointed in the series now. This, Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee, and US/UM are the games I currently don't have nor ever want in my collection. All I have are four games left and I'm still having more fun with the older generations than I am with regular Sun/Moon and this one. That's plain sad.
I also love the ideas this guy said in the video, I would pay money for these ideas!
@@FlareJollyDragoness I agree even a general age group to chose from would be an amazing step up . They have aged up the playable characters before with black and white. It’s just sad that I’ve been playing Pokémon since I was 7 starting with Red and yellow. I’m now 24 and still being forced to play as a 10 year old. I’d even be fine with non customizable character models with multiple ages to chose from .
@@mattDettling Same!
How can a series with this much money produce such a lack luster game... Just give us a solid quality game with tons of content and attention to detail.

In the uk we actually measure height and weigh in imperial

I have seen children, unbiased and never part of an online-forum-battle, but fans of Pokemon still, seen
playing Sword and Shield (well, only Shield, but you know what i mean) and they stop dead in their track
sometimes and ask "What is up with Gamefreak?"
Especially with such scenes like the Hotel Scene, where your babies like no baby ever deserves.
There is just no excuse for this. Even little children, who are not the most of the players, stop and wonder
what this nonsense is.

As much as this would be a small change and still probably wouldn't redeem how boring the wild area is, but why not have migration or something. Certain pokemon in certain months, either do it like black and white or do it in real time. Maybe you could have an Alolan Pokémon that only shows up in one season/month, a lot like how Ring Necked Parakeets migrate here to the UK(although to be fair, they practically live here now - I'd know because they live in my area). I mean it would definitely add a little bit more British flavour, even if it is very niche.
i like that idea. I also thoroughly enjoyed b/w and b/w 2.

How can you think those loser-princes
from the post-game are the best ever?
What about them?
Their hair?
Their super-plain personalitys??
And the chasing is dull as heck. It's uncreative as
you can be.
It's just 'go from point a to b to c to d to e!!"
Thank God I'm not the only one that cares so much about the clothes.
6:27 "Wailord increased to actually size."
It would be sweet if dynamax itself was fueled by the support of the crowd. The ideas you mentioned about wanting a more exciting central mechanic involving fame were great.
When the anime does a much better job of telling the whole game's story with much better motivations and fights in four episodes with barely any set up than the entire game, which is like, twenty hours long.
I never realized how simple the things that improve the experience are! Like oh my god, duh??? Of course it’d be so cool to have an announcer! And build up a fanbase with your appearances. Going through pokemon school???? That’d be so good! Also like, what if Hop was flat out erased and the champion was OUR BROTHER? That’d be a much better story than this junk
Honestly, GF needs to switch Pokemon back to 2D, pixel sprite-based gameplay and visuals. Their ventures into 3D have been bland at best, and I can't think of a single thing the 3D era has done that the 2D era didn't do better. It's not like it'd make the series outdated visual-wise; there are hundreds of games that've come out since XY that are entirely sprite-based, and a lot of them perform very well. Besides, I don't think GF has any business working with 3D games when their hiring process and team size for every game is bafflingly small and pathetic. That town hero game they made got mixed reactions at best, and that was also 3D.
Also, the best 3D Pokemon games out there (XD, Battle Revolution, Pokken, etc) were all made by other companies. Not GF. That should tell you a lot.
Bottom line, Pokemon should've stayed 2D.
You know what would be cool? If Leon was YOUR big brother, and Hop wasn't around. I don't dislike Hop but your character just feels....there. Not really PART of the story, even the adults push you aside and be like "Oh no no no, let the grown ups handle this."
Sounds like you're borrowing something from Gen 3. And I like it.
You forget the 300$/€/... for a switch console, if someone's only playing Pokémon as one and only franchise. So you need a switch (300bugs), Pokémon Sw or Sh (60), Nintendo membership (15), Pokémon Home (15), Pokémon Bank (5), Expansion pass (30). Makes 425 bugs for the full experience with only Sword or Shield.
And people got upset about Us/Um, where everyone had the option to skip Su/Mo and wait a short year for the "third version" to get the full experience for only 45 (€ in my case) for the game (85€ for both) and Pokémon Bank and that's it.
Back in Gen7, I didn't like the Alola-games that much, compared to previous gens, but the only good thing Sw/Sh did for me was that I appreciate the Alola-games even more and love them by now.
1 thing I want from pokemon is to be able to accessorize your pokemon. Give it clothing or something like that, and one thing I dont understand is why they didn’t do it in X and Y, a FASHION BASED pokemon game. Why not give your pokemon a bracket or scarf or clothing, I think that would be cool. Like how in the one series on Pokemon TV Hops Wooloo has a bracelet, why cant we do something like that?
I hate how Spikemuth is so much of a corridor, honestly. I’ve seen no one mention it, but seriously. There’s no reason at all to go back to it, not even the most barebones reason. You just go through a straight line. That’s the *ENTIRE CITY.* You can’t even go into a single house. Nope. It really sucks, because I’d love to explore the city, I wish you could see what the normal citizens of Spikemuth are like. For example a mom of one of the crazy fans that’s like “what the fuck is my son doing, Nani?” Instead of what we got. Just a straight line. It makes me so sad and Piers and Marnie are so much my favorites in this game, but their city gets nothing. No goth clothing, or culture, or normal people. It’s just sad...
I kind of wish that some of the post game included fighting new trainers that want to become a champion, or maybe you can become a gym leader if you want to and you ocationally you see a challenger thats in the champions league, trying to become the champion, and you get to choose what type of gym leader you are, your gimic, your throwing style and all of that kind of customization.

INTELEON'S GIGANTAMAX FROM THE EXPANSION IS JUST HIM BEING A SNIPER FROM A TOWER I LOVE THAY
its actually sick
Pokemon Sword and Shield, the games that make you feel like a parent. " I'm not mad, just disappointed."
Imagine if we start out with having Marnie as our rival with Piers being the first gym battle where only a couple people and some team yell members are cheering you and Marnie on. Eventually you run into Hop and he finds out you want to try and beat Leon so he makes it his mission to beat you as he can tell you could actually defeat his brother if you wanted to. After beating Hop multiple times he becomes deflated and quits the league, going on to become Sonia’s assistant and eventually contacting you about the legendary dogs being spotted in the Weald. Throughout the story, you pick up on Rose’s true intentions of trying to use Eternatus as a source of unlimited power and giving him the ability to expand his reach via fear and his status. You can actually participate in the dynamax Pokemon attacking cities as they pop up while you are right there in the city or you go in place of Leon bc he was busy with champion things. Also, you have people that actually recognize you and will run up to you to battle or so on even after the main story (looking at you paid DLC).
BW2 i think are the only pokemon game to start off in a city.
You only mention girls, who seem to get WAYYYYY more drip than guys. I’ve yet to see a clothing combination on guys that I like, I’m stuck with a blue hoodie and a white t, then some reg pants.and overall there isn’t really that many ways to customize. I can’t be taller or shorter, buff or fat. Few hair styles for males, and in general compared to other games not many as women either. I can’t change my idle animation, can’t change my ball throwing or victory animation and I’m as expressive as block of cement. Honestly I don’t like the character models overall, battle revolution looks much better 14 years ago.
Edit: just got to the part about customizing the way you throw poke balls, lmao, exactly what I was thinking. So many ways to customize and yet they do nothing with it.
Gen 5 was the Gen that gave the most Pokémon out of every region, giving us great Pokémon in each type (including Bug Type which always got weak Pokémon). Gen 5 actually cared about the characters and story, giving us the best evil team, the best Gym Leaders (who are actually play a part in the story), and some of our best rivals that are not one dimensional friends or jerks. They also pushed the DS to its limits with their graphics and sound. You could tell that GameFreak our in a lot of effort on BW and BW2.
However, the fans complained about how trash this gen was because of the ice cream and garbage Pokémon. They complain that they are forced to use Unova Pokémon in BW1, even though in the previous 4 Gens, Magikarp, Zubat, Abra, and others have all made appearances in every single game. They say that the characters are annoying and hypocritical, when DP’s characters are way more annoying and unnecessary. So, BW sales underperformed.
And after XY and SM outsold BW, GameFreak knew they don’t need to try anymore. They gave a lot of effort on BW and it underperformed. They didn’t try as much on XY or SM and it outsold BW. By the time SS was coming out, they knew it will sell and they didn’t even try with anything from the Dexit, the badly rushed Story, the bad animation and textures, to selling an uncompleted game for $60 with DLC to get some older Pokémon back. And guess what? It worked! It sold. GameFreak knows they don’t have to try anymore because anything they put out, the fans will buy it. They don’t have to take anymore risks or try anything new like BW did after it underperformed. They could keep repeating the same game and it will keep selling. They don’t have to make a good Pokémon Game because they know it will sell. That’s why there was no Pokémon Z because 3rd Versions don’t sell as well as a new generation. This will keep going on with the massive success of Sword and Shield.
Kinda have to disagree with you in regards with Bede's "arc". The concept is interesting but the execution was lackluster. The most important parts of his arc happen off screen and he just vanishes from the story until his shoe horned battle in the tournament.
19:58 Now *THAT'S* the kind of Pokemon I want to play!
20:57 😏
i hate getting babied during the game, i wish at the beginning it could ask if you’re an experienced trainer or not. if i pick yes, then it hop won’t say “HEY SETH WOAHHHHHH CHECK IT OUT!! POKÉMON HOSPITAL IT HAS A ROTOM AND SHIT I BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW THAT!”
i wish it would make the game harder, i’m sick of just spamming ‘A’ every battle and winning
This is the nittyest of nitpicks but for the female characters when you get the bike your helmet gets a ponytail NO MATTER WHAT HAIRSTYLE YOU HAVE! Yes, even the pixie cut! Im glad they gave us a new bike outfit with the DLC, because that was really stupid!

Is no one gonna talk about the comedy in this video? All of the Wailord jokes, to the 19:57 joke are funny and keep me from just thinking entirely of the sad reality of these games. The jokes really give the video personality and make it stand out to a normal essay, right?
Giving us a MOTIVATION? TO BECOME A CHAMPION? And not just "because"
Your city kid idea made me think what of my own idea so what if you could choose what city/town your from. Obviously not all of them but a selection where your character comes different backgrounds and certain origin places you choose will make the story harder or easier. You could be a rich kid or from the hood. You get different perks and story paths as well
I fundamentally agree with pretty much everything this man has said in his criticism of the game.
He prasies the post-game though, which is weird.
My agreement is more on his suggested solutions. That appeals so hard to the Social Worker in me.
Boosted and leveled the vocal audio in this version and DRASTICALLY reduced the transition music volume. I recorded a whole segment about music that never made it in to the final video because it was just a lot of rambling. Suffice it to say that piece used in the transitions is one of a couple tracks I really like from game. I kind of hated the gym battle music at first but it's since grown on me (I blame Jim Sterling for this).

good review
like your points about notoriety.
the more you win street fights your name goes etc.
and Pokemon embedded to their surroundings .
Legit, I tried my hand at making a free, open world non-profit Pokemon game, Inspired by BOTW and Monster Hunter, and got a "cease and desist". But no, of course, the OFFICIAL STUDIO, Legit, can't even handle doing something like that cause its "Too Hard". They're not creating from passion, they're creating from greed, "How little can I put into this product and the customer will still buy it?". It Pisses. Me. Off.
I vote that Russia is the basis for the next game.

like for dens at first it'd be cranked to max desperate because you have only one pokemon and this other pokemon which "overpowers" you is wild, not even tamed but slowly you become more sure until its just base anim
gigantimax it'd change based on the gigantimax (like toxtricity would be like, more cocky or smthn and shit like melmetal would be like "struggling to hold let alone throw"
like it'd change if you had one pokemon or six, if the battle is hard or not, (grass gym would be normal anim and champion fight would be again, cranked to max)
but as a whole its a baby game so this wouldnt work plus its kind of a cashgrab
23:01 about this, THEY HAVE EVERYTHING.
THEY HAVE PIERS FOR YOUR STARTER, MARNIE FOR YOUR RIVAL, AND TEAM YELL GRUNTS FOR EXP.
THEY HAVE EVERYTHING TO MAKE THIS AND YET THEY JUST DONT
TLDR: gamefreak is lazy and doesnt take into account anything the fanbase wants, like how did shuckle get in but not shit like gible
Gigantamax is just big megas. Giving all pokemon dynamax is cool, but Gigantamax is literally just beeg megas.
it's not worth it.
This holds true even more after the dlc. It's a pity gamefreak will never see this..
Been playing this, and it's ok I guess, but once this coronavirus lockdown ends, probably gonna trade it in to Gamestop. Temtem is basically a better version of Pokemon that actually caters to the competitive scene, and has a lot of things that should have been in Pokemon. And the battles actually require strategy. You can't take 1-2 Temtem and expect to blow through the story, you always need to be raising different ones, because the dojos (their version of gyms) can be freaking HARD!
The Cat Who Saw You Naked I don’t think you understand that some of the other games WERE actually difficult. Have you ever played DPPT, or BW? Those games aren’t as easy as you think, and yes, Nintendo DOES cater to the competitive scene. I also don’t understand how you say you only need one or two Pokémon to win the game. That’s not how it works, in the better games, it is impossible to beat the game with 1-2 non-legendary Pokémon. Also, YES, Pokémon does require strategy, in competitive. Have you ever tried to be good at competitive? I can assure you, that at 500 straight wins in ORAS Battle Maison, that it definitely requires strategy. So try doing some research on the other games, and not just this disaster of a product
@@krypticscythe2012 I've played them all. But while their is difficulty, for the most part I was able to just use the same 6, swapping one out once in a while. But you can't do that in TemTem. You actually need to keep a bunch of TemTem around your current level to handle different situations, and they use a stamina system instead of PP. So people can't just spam their strongest move.I do admit, competitive has a lot of challenge, although certain things like Stealth Rocks make a lot of popular types unviable, since they pretty much lose half health upon entering.
I think a hard mode needs to give Trainers Pokemon great IVs and EVs. Along with Egg Moves and holding items.
When seeing Dynamax before ever playing the game, i already knew
this feature is dumb, but what was more important to me, was the Plot Hole this presents.
Cause you know yourself, the trainer, and also your opponent and ALSO YOUR FANS WHO WATCH? They're all Dead.
There are no Barriers aor Forcefields of any kind, and funny enough, even regardless of that,
compared to the Dynamax Pokemon, the Arena is actually too small.
It's all so weird. No one put effort into this, obviously.
So yeah: You, your opponent and the Viewers who came with their children to watch the Show: All dead.
Dead.
Can't believe people are still doing videos like this 😂😂😂
The only good things about pok own sword and shield is the gym leader music. That is the only good part. Its not Emerson’s, the graphics are lazy, the pokemon are not to scale, the dynamax cries are to loud, and its just, nooooo. Give me Soul Silver, Brick Bronze, pokemon lets Go Pikachu and Eevee and maybe some more, and I’m happy. But gen 8? No. Just no. The 3D models were a mistake. They have no character, theyre just blank and boring, the pixel models were just so much better.
God damn you have to pay 5 times including subscriptions just to get the full "Complete" experience of just a single games already turns me off. GTS is tied to a fucking paywalls since if you even want to use all of it's Features it's $3/Month which will add up quick, just for a feature that's been a staple for over a decade. DLC looks nice till I found out it's basically the $30 post game top with a $60 underwhelming game. I'm sorry but they are squeezing this franchise to death to just make more profit at this rate and I am scared for the future... Hopefully it do not turns out into another CoD, most sports games now but it starting to get there.
I used to be a huge pokemon fan since the Black/White days... And now? Getting older and playing better Single-player games and wow, this game is just... Nothing special in the end. Why bother paying for a game that add nothing to impress and honestly looks boring...
Might as well dump money on FFXIV if we are going to add subscription models. And I can't even bring my Oshawott or Cyndaquil to Galar...? Fuck this!
Ok so I think you missed the whole Spikemuth deal, which on god is understandable since they refuse to give these games voice acting, the reason that in spite of them being a stop for the Gym challenge not receiving a lot of funding, or a real stadium, is because Piers actively acting against it.
Simply put Rose had an area with a Power Spot lined up for Piers but he declined because he didn't want to abandon Spikemuth, and that's what killed Spikemuth's tourism. He is kept in the Major League (oh yeah there's two separate Pokémon leagues separated on skill level that they never used for some damn reason but would actually work with your story idea), as the seventh leader no less, because he is so good that he can even come close to beating Raihan without Dynamax. But as Piers admits no one really likes watching old fashioned battles without Dynamax and he has a sort of "I'll show them." attitude about it and vows to not use Dynamax full stop.
Which honestly is really sad that they can put such cool thought into trainers and their ideals and passions and make a really cool bit of worldbuilding and then turn around and say "Hau- Er I mean Hop from buttfuck nowhere Postwick. Take it or leave it."
(For the record I actually forgot the starting town's name I kept thinking it was Wedgehurst even though that's the second town.)
People bashing Sun and Moon in the past is the reason why Gamefreak stop trying with Sword and Sheild.
Sun and Moon has :
-Decent story after Black and White/bw2
-Team skull concept is original
-You’re being the first champion is original
-crazy person as the main boss villain which is also the first women boss villain
-Gladion edgy pose is very iconic and we don’t even have anyone with an iconic pose in SwSh
And SwSh have none of the things I listed
Nice video update, though my opinion on pokemon sword and shield remains the same. Like my angry Typhlosion!
Gino Bird what are your opinions?
@@educampsrocks probably the fact is he can't break is Pokemon to Galar?
The fact that you could even style your own speech texts in Pokemon BR just further proves just how mediocre pokemon sword and shield really are. And Hop is like Hau but worse. Atleast Hau was actually strong at the end of Pokemon USUM and understood what it meant to win and loose. Hau is just some happy child that won't stop bragging about how much he wants to be champion, or how much he's going to win.
to make things worse there are loyal fans defending Pokemon Company's laziness.
Exactly
I love how you pronounce chairman, makes it sound like hes just a man obsessed with chairs.
The biggest insult to my intelligence was that hallway that they called a town for the dark type gym, they didn’t even bother making the gym battle interesting too. I used to complain about the games being too easy, but this is even worse…a soulless husk of a game with zero exploration
I'm literally so done with game freak. Legit, if the next one has this level of "polish", I'm Done.
Yandere-dev animated better than game freak did for sword and shield.
In Sun and Moon Lusamine literally says what do you do with a useless pokemon, you get rid of it (paraphrasing). And we are supposed to feel shocked and angry at her for saying that, but thats how the game makes you play.
Like if I like Luvdisc I should be able to use a damn Luvdisc, or how many times you'd have to restart for a good stats starter instead of being able to train it up to where you want it (this has been remedied somewhat but used to be a big issue)
I feel like the gameboy games are more polished lmao
Hey.
Just saying:
Are you are Pokemon-Fan but not
a Gamefreak-Fan?
Then 'Buddymon' is just for you.
It's a Fans Reaction to Gamefreaks Mess.
But not just any Fan, but a Big Poke-UA-camr
who has proven he is EXTREMLY creative.
'Buddymon' is his project and he says he's ready
to put as much money as needed into it,
even if he becomes broke for a while.
I mean, sure, you can just try Pokemon Ranger and Mystery Dungeon - absolute
amazing, outstanding games with better storys than ANY Main-Game,
but how about also checking out Buddymon?
Sorry for the long comment, but i just want more people to know this.
Slevin Channel hmmm
Sure why not
@@fortnitesexman Is that the same thought you had when choosing your Username? "Sure, why not?"
...
Slevin Channel well no
"Denmarkian" is a word I made up to signify that I'm from Denmark
And I'm lewd
So...that lewd denmarkian
This video had me laughing out loud at so many points, I was so surprised when I saw you didn’t have a lot more subs! You’re really entertaining!
Shouldnt we use Strength-in-numbers
and Mass-Tweet Gamefreak and its Big Shots?
Shouldnt we do that, so they
are aware of stuff?
Send them some Links maybe?
Theres literally Documentarys about the state
of this Franchise. Shouldnt we send those to someone?!?
I dont expect my little comment here starting a massive
way.... but... dont we literally need a massive wave, duh?
Ragnarok Hybrid
How can you think those loser-princes
from the post-game are the best ever?
What about them?
Their hair?
Their super-plain personalitys??
And the chasing is dull as heck. It's uncreative as
you can be.
It's just 'go from point a to b to c to d to e!!"
