I personally love pokemon sword and shield and in my opinion it is an extremely underrated game and all the new pokemon are unique and have an amazing design and some are given used types however the cut of 300 pokemon was quite annoying because some pokemon who I really liked just weren’t in the game even after the dlc released such as beedrill, cyndaquill, grimer and deoxys which is annoying because i absolutely love some of the pokemon which were cut however the story and characters in this game were very good and made up for some of the cut pokemon from the game however some features were also cut like mega evolution although it was replaced for dynamic pokemon which can effect every pokemon but only some get a form change and even the all it did was boost a moves damage by 30 - 40 power and gave your pokemon double health where as mega evolution actually changed the stats ability and type of some pokemon, but back to sword and shield we only got three initial legendary Pokémon being zacian, zamazenta and eternatus which really isn’t a lot where as Pokémon sun and moon got 19 legendary although the generation before that only got three as well so hopefully with Scarlet and violet we get a few more maybe 6 or 8 new legendary pokemon. but I still love sword and shield for all that it is and it’s amazing new pokemon who have been added to the franchise so I give the game 4.4/5
