I meant 9you said route 7 two timesRoute 2.Y'all clearly haven't tried exploring Galar then lolLike what? Name one area from the mainland that fosters exploration.
There's just as much to explore as any game if you actually try exploring
And that's without the isle of armor and the crown tundra
And also Route 7.
Plus Route 7.
And some of the cities have hidden areas.
Should I go on?

if you paid attention to my other post (you probably didnt, i mean no one did) i said the switch is new to them, so thats why Sw/Sh is bad.I dont get pokemon fans, they say things to Sw/Sh like “oh why cant pokemon interact with each other”. Sir, please tell me a pokemon game (not snap) that they do interact with eachother.The Switch is one of the fastest consoles in the world, shouldn't it be able to handle pokemon interaction? They're not arguing to “bring back pokemon interaction”, they're arguing to “add in pokemon interaction because the switch should be able to handle it”.

CHILL!
This whole convo came from how story-tied legendary Pokémon are basically mandatory to catch!
I’ve had enough of arguing with peeps about how Sword and Shield are the best/worst Pokémon games.
I was just saying that in terms of legendary Pokémon, exploration is NOT rewarded the the BASE GAME of SW/SH.
Sure you have to wait for the post-game to get Zacian/Zamazenta, but the game tells you EXACTLY where to go to progress into the post-game.
Besides that, there are NO other legendary Pokémon IN THE BASE GAME.
That’s it.
That’s all I was trying to say.
Just chill out.

Random question: What sports are there in the Pokémon world? There's obviously swimming (Misty's gym is literally a swimming pool and “Swimmer ♂/♀” is one of the trainer classes you can choose from) and I know Rhyhorn racing is a thing from the XY anime. But what else do you think there is?I think there's a lot. The Young Athletes in Alola have Bats (For baseball or something) and Badminton Racquets, as well as the fact that there's Golfer and Surfer Trainer Classes. Oh, and Kahili. And there are a lot more in other regions.
It's probably got basically the same sports as the regular world.
Bulbapedia says solosis has a 20% encounter rate. I've run into much more than 5 pokemonLuck is a weird thing. I was looking for a Buneary in Ultra Sun for ages before finding one, and it's apparently (If I remember correctly) 10%.
Just because the odds are 1 in 5 doesn't mean you'll get one once every 5 times.
I want the new Pokémon games to be kinda like Gen 1. Not asking for another Gen 1 remake- we already have enough of those. What I mean is I want a story that doesn’t rely on the legendary Pokémon. Since Gen 3 it’s always been, “Hey, the legendary Pokémon is gonna destroy the world or something, you gotta help.” (Not trying to diss Gen 3 - Gen 3 is hecking AWESOME.) I kinda want a story that focuses on what the evil team is doing, y’know? Don’t give the player a legendary Pokémon because the plot demands it - make the player go out of their way to find the legendary in like a hidden temple or something. Kinda like how you’d find Giratina in Diamond and Pearl (NOT Platinum).I just don't want Legendaries to be given to the player- I think it's better to let the player work for them.
I dunno - is this asking for too much?
I don't care if the story revolves around them, but I don't want the player to catch the legendary until Post Game, and after working for it.
That's my opinion anyway.
opinion: galar isn't that bad, it's just that the games themselves suck. sure, i love sw/sh, but Twilight Wings was a MUCH better representation of everything I loved about gen 8. The games did the characters dirty for sure, especially with all the opportunities presenting themselves, but none of them taken.I agree.
I don't think SwSh were objectively bad games, but they were a step down in my opinion in many ways.
The characters were great too, and I also like the region. (I'm from the UK after all and Galar represents it well in my opinion.)
I haven't seen Twilight Wings though.
I agree on @-Charon-'s stance on linearity, but that's a problem easily fixed, just by adding new areas or changing the routes slightly.
The game really needed more areas to explore, and actual dungeons, and that's a big flaw with them.
I know SM are more on the linear side then the older games as well, but I just find much more incentive to explore and find things with them then with SwSh. There are actually optional areas, and quite a lot of optional side-quests.
Also, can we not get into an argument about this please?
Can we agree on one thing atleast?: The galar mon designs are cool.Agreed. The Gen 8 Pokémon designs, though not many of them are in my All-Time Favourites, are still really cool. There's only one Gen 8 Pokémon (Regional Forms Excluded) that I actually don't like.
Oh, and one last thing- because I'm documenting my Ultra Sun run as I go, I'm naturally remembering a lot more detail. However, the Word Ducument I'm writing it has already surpassed the Moon run's Word Count by about 1,000.
The moon run took the most part of a day to get into project form, so who knows how long this one's going to take…

I like Meowth, it’s evolutions, and regional forms, but I hate Perserker. (I think that’s how you spell it.) I don’t know what it is about Perserker that I don’t like, but whatever it is, it made me ditch my Galarian Meowth after it evolved.

Dubwool’s design sucks, but Cotton Guard + Body Press is alright. Definitely not a reason to use it on its own, but in my opinion, it’s tolerable. I don’t like it, but I can deal with it.Wooloo is great, but Dubwool is just NOI also happen to dislike dubwoolCan we agree on one thing atleast?: The galar mon designs are cool.1000% agreed

I love it because how dumb it looks.I like Meowth, it’s evolutions, and regional forms, but I hate Perserker. (I think that’s how you spell it.)
