I'm 100% aware that this won't be an overall popular opinion, but I really love Pokemon Sword and Shield. I enjoy the Galar region as a whole, especially the two DLC areas, and the characters may be the strongest they've ever been except for maybe the original release of Pokemon Sun and Moon. Sure, not all Pokemon are included but that's not something that's ever mattered much to me, and I'd much rather judge a game based on its own merits, and Sword and Shield have, over time, grown on me more and more to the point where they might be some of my favorites in the series. I'm not going to try to convince you that they're perfect, or that it doesn't suck that the whole Dex isn't featured, but I genuinely love these games, I can't remember the last time I played through a whole Pokemon game in the span of a weekend until I returned to Pokemon Sword, and my Pokemon Shield file has my first ever completed Pokedex. Even if you're inclined to dislike these games, what they introduced has me quite excited to see what comes next from the next mainline entry in the series. Here's hoping it's something special!
