Pokemon Sword and Shield don't exactly look *bad* per say... But the fact that they're on a console capable of running Doom 2016, BoTW, Warframe, Super Mario Odyssey, The Witcher 3, and Overwatch (2 coming soon) while also being priced 50% more than previous titles makes the lackluster (and supposedly recycled) animations, decent but admittedly mediocre graphics, terrible online system, "Weaponized Inflation Fetish™" being in place of Mega Evos and Z Moves, and Dexit being literally inexcusable (considering modders have already hacked in some missing 'mons), super disappointing. Like, literally 0 hate, I can't even be mad. I'm just disappointed, really. I wanna play em, but... My heart's not in it. I dunno... I'm super conflicted...
