For as much as Pokemon Sword and Shield get right, their dearth of strong world-building and story-related content is super lackluster.
NE: "Today, we're going over some of the most forgotten Pokemon of all time."
NE: "We list and rank 10 of the best Pokemon games of all time! More specifically, which of the main series games are best to play."
It should be:
1) Gold/Silver/Crystal
2) Red/Blue/Yellow
3) Ruby/Saphire/Emerald
The rest can be put in any order you want.
I liked Sword/Shield (Which didn't even make the list) way more than Scarlet/Violet, but everyone has opinions.
IMO I think S&S is better because it's more visually appealing due to it's nice backdrops and linearity, but it was still meh. I couldn't bother finishing Scar/Vio, they managed to make an even more boring broken game only 2 games after S&S and that's quite impressive.
the amount of games with forced exp share making this list is depressing
even games like ranger or colleseum/ XD
or mystery dungeon, way more deserving
NE: "Pokemon Sword and Shield have a confusing story, and today, we're discussing how we can use details from the anime to make it make sense."
It's basically the same old storyline. You hit 10 years old and off on a journey to be a master. They can only milk it for so long
it's the same fucking shit we're been fed since the gameboy color days
