It doesn't really look impressive from a gameplay or story perspective. Platinum games usually don't offer too much outside the main game which are usually short.
Disappointed in with no national dex, terrible reused animations, poor pop in draw distance, disconnected low res scenery are among other things that really show that Gamefreak are being incompetent to a larger audience that's finally taken notice.
They don't care since it will sell anyway and there are a line of people who are ready to defend any poor decision they make.
John Marston is Ganondorf, he moved to Hyrule with his wife and son to get away from the criminal life, but now he makes kill Zelda and Link to keep them from ruining his new life.
Why not delay the game so you can work out all the Pokemon into the game? With as big of a franchise as this is its embarrassing how lazy they are when comparing to other big franchises that go the extra mile for their games.
I never understood why people are so happy to see these trainers again. You don't fight them, you fight their Pokemon that multiple trainers have so they aren't unique and the trainers themselves don't really have any character/personality to them at all.
This series is filled with unrealized potential that I wish they capitalize on!
@posedge I whole heartily agree on that bad twist. Although they were trying to retcon that by saying that its actually another universe instead of what it is (I don't want to say because of spoilers) but I'm not sure what came of that.
I would like to see the return of NES games and that puzzle game from New Leaf, but with multiplayer! Also they could have more minigames you can play for activities like in Stardew Valley and whatnot.
As long as we can use a normal controller then I'll be happy.
Also hopefully this doesn't mean there will be main features that require you to be in handheld mode.

Re: Is Game Freak "Recycling" 3DS Animations In Pokémon Sword And Shield On Switch?

They might be with their new phone game.
Re: Junichi Masuda Releases Official Statement About Limiting Sword And Shield's Pokédex
They could just keep the set number of Pokemon and work on the gameplay, side activities, features, and story if adding more is too hard for them.
@Erchitu The graphics, animations and sounds are recycled from Pokemon S&M
