While I do agree with most that Pokémon has gotten worse over the years, I don't agree with how much. These games are not bad, and people are expecting too much from them. The graphics, especially when compared with other Nintendo titles on the Switch like Breath of the Wild, leave something to be desired. But aside from that, it's a perfectly fine Pokémon adventure, with a similarly childish but not unentertaining plot and silly characters along the way.
