      These Games are a Shame and it's a shame people

      Not only does thinking your Fans are all Little Kids show that
      you dont know your Audience but fact of the matter is, even LIttle Children dont need this like this
      Hotel-Scene-Nonsense!!
      6-Years old are actively stopping in their track, playing though these scenes and wondering by themselves what
      Gamefreak is doing. Literally.
      Gamefreak embarasses itself again and again and many Fans still defend this.
      Fans not understanding those Games are literal Trash is literally a Problem causing those games to be worse than they can be.
      That's Cause and Effect, people. Cause and Effect.
      Fans mindlessly and delusional defending the new Games are part of the problem - this is an objective fact if you know Cause and Effect.

      Right? I know it's not perfect (no game is, Red/Blue/Yellow are far buggier and much more loved, I know technology advances but technology is still technology, and they do have the option to make updates) but, I personally think the graphics look beautiful (there's just a few glitchy animations ) and I absolutely loved many characters, the immersion feel, and the new Pokemon. Sure, it's sad to see Pokemon cut, but at the same time, 400 is...a lot of Pokemon. Really it was bound to happen sooner or later. Completing a dex of around 1,000 sounds hard for the casual gamer. I had a lot of fun with the game. While I miss some Pokemon in this game, it's not like I can have Galar Pokemon in other games. I got rather attached to Zacian, my Yamper (now Boltund), and more.
      Also, dark type gym leader.....Piers is awesome. As someone who likes metal, that gym was a lot of fun.

I'm not trying to be negative about you loving the game, all the power to you, I just feel like the positives are the just in the fact that it's "Pokemon". I've played pokemon since I was 7 and have played every game before diamond (my first game) to after. The love, the trading, the cool/cute "animals" are all in the fact that it is pokemon. It just feels like they've done the bare minimum to make the game truly spectacular when they have a better system and a home console at their disposal. Little content, not innovation, no change. It's a game that's on the best system Nintendo has and it is somehow less memorable or replayable than the earlier games from before BW2.

      Only A and B NAT types work,
      When I moved to a router hotspot, the NAT Type changed to A or B.
      At that point raids, link trades, etc worked quickly.

    Trading is good because if you get a trade with a player who’s playing the opposite game type then you ( sword and shield ) you can get Pokemon that are exclusive to them, there’s about 30-40 for each one and two of the gyms are different in the games

      The hidden history of Galar, the origin of the Darkest Day and Dynamax?
      The continuation of the story as to how the history was hidden?

However all of a sudden I've noticed more andm ore people joining. Lately I've gotten all 3 people three times so far during total gameplay which is a big milestone compared to what it was. I've also seen new smarter online features pop-up for an uber brief time that simplified things leading me to believe they are indeed working on it. One time I even saw a message when trying to join a raid, "This raid has already closed, let's go ahead and refresh your stamps" which was a lifesaver although it seems they removed it the next day so, oh well lol. But I feel like things are very, very, slowly improving and that they are working on some of hte online issues.
