how is everyone liking SwSh?
I just finished Sword yesterday and i really liked it!! In terms of story, it admittedly wasn’t the best one of the main series games, but I thought it was way better than X&Y, and all the characters were really cute and/or interesting and fun to watch and interact with! I personally really liked Marnie, and i wish she had more screentime.
In terms of gameplay, it was really good! I really didn’t notice any of the “errors” that people said would ruin the experience, and I didn’t even find myself missing any of the cut pokemon! I really liked using an all new team and not having the option to fall back on some of my old faves. The galar region looks amazing, I really like exploring the wild area, battles look great, pokemon camp is really cute and fun (although I do stick by my opinion that amie is still the best ‘bonding-with-you-pokemon minigame/feature’ they’ve ever given us) and the soundtrack is really cool! the gym leader battle theme in particular always got me hyped.
what are your guy’s thoughts? if you like it, whats your favorite part? if you don’t like it, what would you change? anyone else beaten the game yet? what mons did you end up using on your team? who’s gonna go ahead and try and complete the dex? anyone gonna try their hand at hunting for shinies? any shinies you want in particular?
and just a fun fact about my playthrough, since I’m really happy with the team i used, my final team was cinderace (nicknamed hariette), boltund (nicknamed brie), corviknight (nicknamed timmy), hatterene (nicknamed purah), eldegoss (nicknamed onigiri), and drednaw (nicknamed frankie)! drednaw was a bit of a variable though, i swapped her out for eternatus for the champion battle, and once I got zacian I permanently swapped the two.
