I felt the dialogue frequency was about the sameThe writing and story may be worse than Sun and Moon but you'll be grateful for less dialogue during your subsequent playthroughs of Sword and Shield. Pokemon games are designed to be played at least 3 times because there are always 3 starters. I haven't enjoyed a Pokémon game this much since SoulSilver.
I just played Moon again to get ready for Shield and Sun and Moon had way more cutscenes and dialogue than Sword and Shield. Shield felt about a third the length of Moon.
It's almost like their game design philosophy (that kids are dumb, have the attention span of a goldfish and need to have everything spoonfed to them) seeps into the story more and more, too.Not sure about the other games, but in this one they refuse to let you do anything because you're a kid. You get a few lore dumps here and there and it isn't until the very end where they're like "oh, yeah I guess help out maybe." Bah
At least Hop would keep his chatter to the battles unlike Hau who would just talk for the sake of character development. Nobody cares about the story in Pokémon, give us BOTW already. Pokémon GO was far more popular before they had events with story dialogue. Every second reading is a second you could have spent battling or catching Pokemon.Everytime people say "at least SWSH cut the handholding!" i wonder the same. The only difference is that SWSH is shorter. But you're as interrupted during every ten steps you take to do/hear menial stuff just the same, if anything Hop felt as a more constant annoyance than Hau and that was already a pretty low standard

Just because you are the main character doesn't mean you are The Main Character
Holy shit I agree with this so much. The glimwood tangle town has to be the most useless and disappointing location in a Pokémon game since the dimension with Ultra Necrozma. In general towns feel really empty and unfinished in this game. I also despise the cafés and restaurants that are only here to:Oh its awful. Its actually insultingly awful. Pokemon Red & Blue had more story to this.
I think of the Fairy Gym town (Ballonlea) and the town with the saunas and how cool they look and how little you do in those towns.
There is zero story, zero dungeons, zero side things, no bad guys, etc.
I just finished the 8th gym. Typically, I would do everything in a Pokemon game, I'd catch the entire dex...but I have no reason to. There is zero point anymore cause the Galar region sucks.
My favourite little part when you beat the 8th gym. And you leave and the town is cheering. They never actually face you so if you move 10 feet, they're just cheering to nobody.
I don't get how this game has an open critic score of 80. I feel like I'm struggling to find out what Sword/Shield do well.
Oh its BS. The game has no side stuff, tells you where to go if you pause the game, and constantly forces you with cutscenes into the next area. Sword/Shield is more handholding than any game before it.
Just because you are the main character doesn't mean you are The Main Character
Lol! And Leon even acknowledged it if you had Eternatus in your party (though I wonder how, this man have X-ray vision or something?) Ngl I did feel a bit bad putting it in, but after forcing me to do all this stuff before finally fighting him, I think I deserved it.-Yay time for my fight against Leon!
-Hey fucker I'm back and I'm into fairies now! Come bite my thumb if you know the stakes!
10 minutes later
-Kay now time to actually fight Le-
Screen in the stadium: some stuff happening with Rose
20 minutes later
Now that you have captured a legendary draconic Gigamaxed entity that you never heard about until 10 minutes ago, you can actually go wreck Leon's ass with Eternatus!
Oh it's just a personal opinion of mine. I haven't finished many games (maybe a few a year), I usually drop them if the story is too nonsensical or something else is bad or I grow bored etc.I'm not sure about the worst story ever put into a video game, but it's definitely the worst story since Fire Emblem: Fates, and it's similar to that game in that pretty much everything Sword and Shield's story attempts to do fails miserably.
I was going to completely ignore the end-game but then they gave me a charmander...
I thought the final boss with Eternatus being a max raid battle where the dogs join the battle was actually really well done and very cool. That's the extent of the good story stuff, though. lol

Lol at them ever going this farYeah, it's pretty bad lol. Shame since there were some really hype stuff peppered in between. I wanted to see Dynamax Pokemon running around the city.

It runs in the family.
This forum and hyperbole is straight up nauseating. Everything is always the worst ever or the best ever. Urrgh.
The story is just fine and inoffensive. imo.
Lol exactly*is having battle*

Glad I'm not the only one who rolled my eyes at the irony, unless they were trying to be sarcastic (which it didnt seem like)You were nauseated? Did you have to go and puke your guts out after reading this thread?
Or were you, a member of this forum, engaging in some straight-up nauseating hyperbole?
Sun. the Ultra games ruined the appeal of the main villainA bit off topic but which would you recommend: Sun or Ultra Sun? I remember reading some negative stuff about US.
Ultra Sun. You can catch all the legends, there's the rainbow rocket episode where you battle villains from previous gens, the game is a bit more difficult than vanilla Sun/Moon and there are very cool moves tutors which are not present in Sun/Moon.A bit off topic but which would you recommend: Sun or Ultra Sun?

See lol.Ultra Sun. You can catch all the legends, there's the rainbow rocket episode where you battle villains from previous gens, the game is a bit more difficult than vanilla Sun/Moon and there are very cool moves tutors which are not present in Sun/Moon.
Plus, the online is very active.
Also, Sun and Moon are missing mega evolution stones while Ultra Sun has them all.
