I'm not because I don't have a switch and I don't approve of the direction they're going in.

Re: Pokemon Sword and Shield looks like a shitshow
who's even remotely surprised it looks like a shitshow? If you are man, you sure are oblivious.
Re: Pokemon Sword and Shield looks like a shitshow
I was hoping it'd be good because I love Pokemon but between Dexit and the poor visual quality with the wild area it doesn't feel like they tried very hard on developing it. And they limited catching Pokemon to level caps? Come on man. They already have coding for disobedient overleveled Pokemon in-game already, just apply that to every Pokemon and not just traded ones!
I just wanted it to be good.

Everybody always talks about Dexit and Pokemon Designs nobody ever talks about the completely railroaded main campaign with zero exploration where you're getting stopped by plot important characters every 1-2 minutes. Or less.

Re: Pokemon Sword and Shield looks like a shitshow
You’re absolutely right about the railroadings and shit plot design happening in modern pokemon and you should say it.

Re: Pokemon Sword and Shield looks like a shitshow
i like some of the new pokemon designs, but... it's not worth getting what looks like an absolutely soulless piece of trash. If they just want to make money off merch instead, that's all i'm gonna get i guess.

It's the crowning jewel of not giving a shit.
Re: Pokemon Sword and Shield looks like a shitshow
I'm currently playing it, and I can confirm that not only does it look like a shitshow, but it is a shitshow. I've encountered numerous issues, but the most glaring flaw for me at the moment is the abysmal balancing. In THIS interview Mr. Ohmori says the following:
While the idea of rewarding various styles of gameplay is certainly not harmful, there is no real thought apparent in the design. By the time I was through with the first two straight corridor routes, my entire team was already higher level than anything I could encounter in the wild or in trainer battles at that point. Upon reaching the Wild Area and being given free reign to try out camping and raids, I decided to do just that, and was showered with experience, and a variety of items used to give more experience to my pokemon. I assumed engaging these new features was accounted for due to Mr. Ohmori's words, and by all means, as he said I have not been unable to progress, however I have found that by actually playing the game and using what is made available to me I have already become so completely overpowered that nothing is of any consequence.We felt that it is important for all players who spend a lot of time with the games, even if they don't focus on battling, to be able to finish the main story. There are lots of different ways for players to have fun playing with their Pokémon outside of battles, and Pokémon Camp is one of them. We felt it wouldn't make sense for players to spend a lot of time engaging in those gameplay features only to end up under-leveled and unable to progress in the story, so we decided to give Exp.Points for playing at camps. Our thinking was the same with the other new ways to train that we introduced in these games.

Re: Pokemon Sword and Shield looks like a shitshow
I'm just staying with Gen 5 and romhacks, because not only I don't own a switch... But also I'm displeased alot of my favorites are gone.
I officially quit at the 7th gen anyway. Good thing the game got leaked. It's like karma.

Re: Pokemon Sword and Shield looks like a shitshow
I'm actually still pretty excited for the game although I won't deny it has its flaws. Mostly because a lot of my friends are going to play as well and I want to compete against them, I don't really play Pokemon for the story anyway

I'm more easily reached at classpectanon#4228 on Discord. I will respond to reports faster there because PHPBB's notification system is borked and doesn't email me when you report things.

Re: Pokemon Sword and Shield looks like a shitshow
It just looks so barren... and the starter final evolutions are just gross. I mean, grookys fine, but scorbunnys is boring and they made sobble into a twink. Its like each starters final evolution is different kinds of furrybait.

Re: Pokemon Sword and Shield looks like a shitshow
It seems like the game is actually only balanced for the way that the guy who streamed the game before the whole thing leaked played it: Rushing through the campaign seems to be the only way to not become overpowered and actually stick with the game's level curve.
It's bad design.

I talk to Prism's dev every day but I've still only played it for like 5 minutes. I am a bad friend.
I wanna play Vega. Thinking of going with the water starter.

Re: Pokemon Sword and Shield looks like a shitshow
Regarding romhacks, the main one I've been playing, appropriately given the forum we're on, is sburbmon.
I'm all caught up to the current progress though so I've just been filling out my sylladex and getting those sweet sweet boondollars with Meenah.

Re: Pokemon Sword and Shield looks like a shitshow
Never really been a fan of hacks where characters from another series replace the pokemon, like Touhoumon or Ponymon, cause well, they're characters.
pokestucksprites/pokemon skaia version had a really great idea where they made original pokemon based on the characters instead (Even if a lot of them were kitbashes of real pokemon sprites or just the Aquariumstuck versions of the characters). They would also turn obscure homestuck related concepts into pokemon, like the fact that Dirk likes Rainbow dash became a Normal/Poison type Sleipnir pokemon.
Unfortunately that blog has been dead for ages and they were never making a real hack in the first place.

Slow downs and now physical & digital copies for the game may delete your save data of other games in your console.
How did it go from bad to worse in the matter of days within the release?
