>The very first route is a straight line leading to a rectangle town that has nothing in it at all leading to another straight line.
>There are no caves or side locations.
>Each "route" is just a giant oval area with maybe some ankle high walls or trees to stop you running through it freely, a straight line, or two rectangles connected to each other via ladders.
>The towns have nothing in them at all to care about and the only major city is Motostoke which also has nothing in it until you reach the town outside of the Elite Four area which itself is basically a smaller Motostoke.
>Visually it's on such an insane spectrum of "extremely beautiful" to "We had better graphics on the N64" which slingshots between each area you visit.
>It's even more handholdy than S&M and it's borderline impossible to lose even if you are constantly swapping Pokemon out.
>Dynamaxing is so broken that Smogon has to ban it as a concept and in official Pokemon comp teams everyone basically ran the same teams to counter its existence.
>Hop is just Hau 2.0 mixed with Cheren except he talks about how his brother makes his dick completely erect and how he's a weak submissive sissy boy whose dick will never compare instead of malasadas.

>If you picked Shield you got worse Pokemon choices, a much worse Legendary, and the DLC gives you the middle finger by not even giving you a break and handing you a gay twink instead of Sword getting Klara.
It's genuinely insulting how much of a middle finger Shield players got.
