The editors didn't like
Expensive
Isle of Armor is short
Crown Tundra isn't out yet
Sword and Shield don't do enough to move the series forward
The story has strange pacing that makes players feel like passive observers
No GTS makes trading with other players difficult until Pokemon Home
Culled Pokedex means a lot of favorites are mis
Still feels too short
Please
Put trainer battles in the Wild Area
Story felt not overly important
Wild Area and Online isn't a golden combo
Wild Area online performance can be bad
Dexit
Dynamax is underutilized
Linear
Simple story
Although appropriate
The Crown Tundra needs less hail
Concept of “legendary” Pokemon has lost all meaning
Full completion nominally requires either two games or restarting HOME
Doesn't add too much to the endgame
Technical issues
No National Dex
No touch screen controls
Dropped frames
Especially when online in the Wild Area
Instancing issues with lobbies for Max Raid battles

Battle animations looks great, New Pokémon are adorable, Premise of battles remains the same
Dynamaxing seems like an unnecessary feature
While the core Pokémon formula remains the same, Sword and Shield shake things up with a bunch of new features such as a new region to explore, alongside new Pokémon to catch and mechanics to get to grips with. Everything is bigger (and more British) than...

Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are closer to my dream Pokemon RPGs than anything that's come before. I'd still like better cutscenes, companion Pokemon, the complete Pokedex, and a more visually interesting Wild Area, but nitpicks are just not very effe...
