"So Sword is basically the most fun in a Pokemon game Ive had...ever."

Had pretty low expectations for it going in and frankly the only thing Im really disappointed in (besides the Dex cut, but I dont think anyones happy about that lol) is that I cant customize my gym outfit. Pretty minute complaint all things considered.The Wild Area is amazing and Ive been enjoying the story quite a bit. And given whats already been spoiled as far as the post game goes Im not expecting this opinion to change. The game is just way more immersive than its ever been even in the non-WA sections and its amplifying the fun by a lot; and given that for me at least theres basically zero nostalgia factors involved its pretty crazy that Im enjoying it more than I enjoyed ORAS which was what got me back into Pokemon. Whoever had the idea to do Lets Go style overworld encounters with the classic grass encounters deserves a raise.And yeah I see the issues people have with it (Galar Mines 1 and 2 got an eyebrow raise for instance) but people are being way too critical and frankly, stingy.Making the jump to Sword all at once cost quite a bit, but the overwhelming bulk of that money went into the Switch itself. Sword and the expansion pass was trivial, especially after finding out how fun the game actually is.Easily worth it, and ultimately, I looked into the game before I purchased and even if it only met my expectations (rather than exceeded them all over the place) I still would have said it was worth it because I made that decision -before- I dropped a chunk of my savings on a new toy, not after. The way gaming is these days you really dont have an excuse to not know what youre buying, so complaining that it isnt worth the price is just childish; you shouldn't have bought it in the first place.Anyway, thats my thoughts after playing all day. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/3ebdFjo
