Yeah, yeah, I know. "How could that guy want even less story than we already got? We barley had any story in the first place!"
And that's kind of the point. The "story" that we got wasn't only very thin, it was also not very good and came all at once.
By the time the time everything with Rose and Oleana started happening, I became very satisfied with the Idea that Sword and Shield wasn't a game featuring a world-ending threat but was a story of two kids from a small town trying to become the very best. On top of that the way Rose couldn't wait even a single day to do what he wanted to do felt very forced for the sake of having some kind of huge menace before the credits start rolling. It would have been a nice change of pace to not have aworld-ending or world-conquering threat ever since Gen 3.
The part about Zaccian and Zamazenta that we got in the post game could have stayed as it was. That was nice enough.
With a region that is all about Gym Battles, I would have really liked if the plot of the game would have been solely about this as well instead of trying to force in a huge threat at the last minute.
But yeah, that's my take on the plot of Pokémon Sword and Shield.
