Vamos concordar uma coisa, esse jogo é subestimado sim. Talvez o maior problema seja o fato de ter evoluído pouca coisa dos dois jogos anteriores, parecendo muito mais um reaproveito, e de fato eu não discordo. Mas sinceramente isso é muito mais um problema da franquia como um todo, do que desse jogo em si.
Ele não promete grandes coisas e entrega um jogo extremamente divertido. Não é feio, muito pelo contrário, pra mim é um dos jogos mais bonitos da franquia. Os novos pokemon são muito daora. Dynamax e Gigantamax são paia
Rose melhor vilão

Pokémon Sword is probably the weirdest game in the series for me so far. For a little more context, I've played the remakes of Gens 1-3, played 4-7. and also 9. I decided to replay them and try out the ones I never got around to in order to see how my opinion changes from my first time playing them years ago. Generation 8 was the only one I haven't touched, and after a conversation with one of my friends, I decided I'd finally try it out for the first time. I kept my expectations low because I heard this one is one of the worsts in the series. So what's my verdict? Well, it leans close to being mediocre unfortunately. Now in all honesty, my problem with this game isn't really much, but it's such a big factor that I can't ignore it, though I'll get to that later. First, the good. I think the new Pokémon are pretty damn cool. For these reviews (minus Kalos), I'm only using Pokémon that debuted in that Gen (or regional forms). All of the Pokémon I used on my team were pretty great in both the strength and design departments, so no complaints there. The gameplay itself is fine, it's kind of easy at times but the level scaling felt pretty tight in a good way, where I never really felt over or underleveled (though I did skip some battles near the end). I will say though, most of the Gym Challenges were pretty fun, even if they were really simple in concept. The ones that stood out the most to me were Bea's with that weird rotating disk you have to guide yourself in or Gordie's with the dowsing machine where you need to watch out for the pits. Not all of these are great though, and some of them are literally just... regular battles. I would've preferred the puzzles they'd do in the older games but I don't completely mind these. The Gym Leaders themselves were a pretty good difficulty, not being as easy as I expected but not hard where I'd need more than one attempt, with the exception of Nessa since my team wasn't exactly suited for her battle at that point (I didn't know Applin only learns two moves before evolving into Flapple or Appletun). The aesthetic of the game is also really nice, the region barely feels stale visually (graphics aside), such as with Ballonlea and Circhester. Last but not least, the OST is seriously great. The battle themes especially shine, mainly the Gym Leader's, Hop's, Pier's and especially Bede's which is probably my favourite song in the game. The unfortunate thing is, some of those amazing songs are strapped onto certain characters, and the main things I don't like about this game are the story and characters. The story has very little substance to it until the final act, and that final act is... horrible. Let's start with the elephant in the room, Chairman Rosé is probably the WORST character not only in the game, but dare I say the series. His plan is so crazy that I genuinely can't wrap my head around his line of thinking and I don't think I want to understand anyway. So let me get this straight: He wants to stop the energy crisis in Galar. Got it. So when does this energy crisis occur? A THOUSAND YEARS IN THE FUTURE??? It baffles me because not even ten generations could pass for that crisis to occur. So he's paranoid about something that won't happen for many, many, MANY years. Okay, so what's his plan? He talks to Leon about it, Leon says he wants to help after the final match with the player. For some reason this upsets Rosé so much he decides to bring about the Darkest Day early by waking up Eternatus right before the match started? Why? For what purpose? I don't even care if I got some of the details wrong because frankly, Rosé sucks and I hate him. Unfortunately, most of the other characters aren't much better. Hop, Leon, Marnie, and Bede especially are either extremely annoying or extremely bland. Hop and Leon don't shut up about the latter being THE unbeatable champion, Marnie is literally the least interesting important character I've seen in the series, and Bede is trying so hard to be a good asshole rival but is too busy talking about how he got endorsed by the Chairman to be a good rival (I consistently one-shot his team each time). I saw someone say Marnie was a "walking character design" and that honestly feels true because she barely shows up and she isn't really as interesting as she looks. I bring this up because that feels like the game in general. The game has a lot of stuff that looks interesting, but it falls flat. Luckily, the Gym Leaders were all pretty cool and are pretty memorable to me at least, such as Nessa, Raihan, Bea, and the highlights are Gordie and Piers. I just love how expressive Gordie is and Piers was the highlight, him having a banger theme and a unique stadium, plus no Dynamaxing in his Gym. I forgot to mention, I think Dynamax as a gimmick is... not bad. I'll admit, out of the main gimmicks, Mega Evolution is definitely the coolest one. However, my issue with Megas comes from how there's no limitations on them, unlike the others where they're more limited in use. Dynamax feels like the compromise between Mega Evolution and Z-Moves. You have three turns to have this powered up gigantic version of your Pokémon and all your moves change to certain Dynamax versions. It's not a bad gimmick at all, and Gigantimaxing has basically what I wanted with the design changes, and some of them are pretty cool like Gengar and Alcremie's. I do understand why some people don't like it though, really my only issue with it comes from the Dynamax raids which just really aren't fun if I'm being blunt. I liked the Tera Raids in Scarlet and Violet much better since they feel a lot quicker and as a result these are just painful since they feel super long. Anyway, I don't plan on doing the DLC for a while because I just wanted to do a base game playthrough to get my opinion on it. Overall, this game is pretty good in a lot of qualities, but the story and characters really drag it down.

This is the most ehhhh game I’ve ever played.
I really like Galar as a region and the lore of it and this has some of the best characters and character development in the whole series, however it also has Rose who might be one of the worst villains yet and the story itself is kinda dead, tou just do the gyms with all the story happening right at the end

The routes in rbis game are so lifeless and boring it hurts, and the wild area doesn’t hit like I want it to but it’s still fun discovering random Pokémon hanging around. Overall its still Pokemon so I don’t think I’d say it’s bad, but it had a lot of missed potential with the fun characters and good lore and story on paper being bogged down by uninteresting route design and a shitty execution of the story.

I do have to say though, I love how the gyms feel so important in this game, especially the champion fight, it had such an exciting big fight feel.

To me, Pokémon Sword represents a sense of complacency and laziness with the Pokémon series that no other game can truly encapsulate.

For one, the graphics. Now, I’m no graphics guy, but this game looks terrible. Lazy animations and textures that can sometimes rival the Nintendo 64 in looks are prevalent.

Also the gameplay, it’s bad. The game is super easy and offers little challenge which makes it super boring to play.

And while I know Pokémon is not known for its gripping stories, the game has little dialogue that could be considered interesting and all the characters feel very basic.

So overall, I feel Pokémon Sword offers little to the series and little entertainment value to the player.

Now Pokémon Shield on the other hand… I never played, but maybe the exclusive Pokémon “Appletun” overshadows all the drawbacks of this pair of Pokémon games and makes them 5 stars… maybe.

perhaps overhated. very cheap and disappointing but thats not unusual for this series honestly

for all the complaints about that one tree, this is unambiguously the prettiest game in the series outside of the wild area.

the setting is great and the gym challenge aspect is so cool. such an aesthetic win. they should've just gone all-in on that stuff rather than shoehorn in the literal worst villainous plot in the entire series (a series mind you known for having lame stories)
