The main problem to me personally is it's a switch game, yet it doesn't use that to it's advantage. Most people mentioned the lack of voice grunts or Voice Acting in general for this game, and they have a point when even OoT had that shit in the game cause I think the devs thought "yeah we might wanna add some vocal cues to make dialogue less awkward" the only time you get any vocal noise is the Pokemon. And while it makes sense since they are the main draw of the games, hearing the same Pokemon cry uttered over and over again is really annoying. Like if GF tried they'd do what FE, Zelda, and Mario did and show how well a new console can bring new life to a franchise, but SWSH isn't the step in any direction to proving they can.

Rose is retarded wants to stop an energy crisis that will happen in a thousand years but cant wait due to autism, has a worse motive then lysandre we get this line
so he can keep his autistic sports ball with "biddger perkermn"
Team yell is team skull without anything interesting
The not bogs help you stop rose
Post game is a 2 hours of rematches and capturing the legendary
Story overall seems less thought out then even X and Y

I'm starting to put stock into that "broken importer" myself, especially when you remember they went through the trouble of making walking/running animations for all 800+ mons years ago back in SM, had them in LG, only to just, not have the following feature at all in SWSH? Makes no sense to do all that work for nothing.
And at first it seems ridiculous because the obvious question of "Why didn't they just say they had technical difficulties and can't have all mons in the game but will have them ready by the next one?" comes up, but there's a crucial element about the Japanese that comes into play here. Pride. It's so strongly instilled over there that they really would lie and repeatedly deny any hope of Dexit lifting and tarnishing their reputation just for the sake of their own egos instead of simply eating a slice of humble pie and saying "We fucked up."

Ouch. Well, the second I saw the dude I knew he was the bad guy so... That they had sports incorporated at all in a pokemon game couldn't be further than their target demographic.

yeah in galar pokemon is basicly like a national sport, its weird since it feels like such a surface level take on what Britain is like compared to unova or even kalos it's laughable
Yeah I talked to a dev friend of mine he's kinda putting stock in the theory now as well, especially since masuda said something along the lines of "we will see how the reaction to the games are" after months of saying it's how it will be from now on.
In a way they were thinking long term not realizing the short term PR hit they would take, kinda fascinating.
What solidified this for me was once the game started leaking, masuda and co kinda just locked themselves away from interviews aside from the pokemon site, canceling the launch event, like they knew data mining was only a matter of time.

The history of the term "genwunner" is an interesting one.
It started around 2011/2012, with the release of the Gen 5 games Black and White. For some reason certain fans got the biggest, fattest bug up their ass over some of the crummier Gen 5 Pokemon designs. The Vanillite line and Trubbish line in particular became the focus of these fans, and the existence of Pokemon based on ice cream and trash bags was the "proof" Pokemon was over and everything post-Gen 1 sucked ass. That "there are only 151 Pokemon" line from the UrbanDictionary definition is not an exaggeration; people were actually saying that. I distinctly remember one post going around that said "Back in the day Pokemon were based on snakes, dragons, dinosaurs, and turtles. Now Pokemon are based on ice cream, gears, and garbage. I feel bad for kids these days!"
The irony behind this was Gen 5 also has snake Pokemon, dragon Pokemon, dinosaur Pokemon, and turtle Pokemon. And Gen 1 had some crummy Pokemon designs of its own. People were getting sick of these Charizard fanboys running around shitting on anything post-Gen 1, and so the term "genwunner" was created (or co-opted from the Transformers fandom, the details are hazy on that) to describe these types of fans. Their criticisms had little to do with gameplay, they were just pissed off because NEW POKEMON BAD BECAUSE ICE CREAM AND NOT BLASTOISE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Around the release of Gen 6 games X and Y, however, the definition of "genwunner" started to shift and spiral out of control. It no longer defined a very specific type of obnoxious fan, it was now being used to describe anyone who said anything critical of newer Pokemon games. Do you prefer the pixel graphics of earlier games, but can still appreciate the efforts that went into making XY 3D? Fucking genwunner, go back to your Charizard! Do you think XY are kinda shallow? Stupid genwunner, don't forgot your favorite gen has a literal pile of goo that just evolves into a bigger pile of goo! It got so bad you could be called a genwunner for saying bad things about even Gen 1 Pokemon.
The term seems to be losing steam and usage, and now outside of YouTube comment sections I've only really seen it being used by people to describe themselves in a joking kind of way.

Why is it the games based on European regions and the UK have the weakest villains/story?

So I take it the indie pop scene that Team Yell apparently's supposed to be based off of never reached its full potential, the history is super lame, and there's no bagpipes in the soundtrack.
I bet there's no Sherlock Holmes reference, either. Game Freak couldn't even get the basics right, all they thought about was soccer when that should've most likely been saved for the South American region. Fucking hell.
Least they didn't bring back Defog, although that's too bloody hilarious for them to have done.

Unironiclly Kalos had a good idea with the whole pokemon war shit but it never really went anywhere, Galar doesn't really do anything unique with the whole "Dynamax powers Galar" thing because its such a massive time away from now that running out doesn't matter, especially not dire enough to summon Pokemon Cthulhu just so your Sports ball of dog fighting could still get a lame ass gimmick that is the baby's version of the other reigon's
Galar doesn't really have a good idea to play off of imo

Problem with this theory is Sword and Shield is based on Let's Go engine so...... they already imported the models from the 3DS to Let's Go. Also the 3DS models are also used on all the mobiles games, this one doesn't make a lot of sense. I find it really hard to believe that something as simple as a broken importer. The entire region looks completely unfinished and I can't believe the entire staff was held up by a problem like this as often things are put together in tandem (story, areas, postgame, etc.) I would say something obviously did happen developing this game though, it's more likely looking at it that it was originally designed for the 3DS then ported into the Let's Go engine creating this Frankenstein's monster of a game. We also can't forget that the leadership as far as Pokemon goes is really out of touch with what people want for years.

It lost usage because Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee shut them up. When the first switch Pokémon game screenshot leaked, the one of the lapras, the amount of legit “muh gen 1” was huge. There were a lot of bitch fights between them and people who wanted new Pokémon. Then the games were revealed and they got their “pure 151 gen 1” HD remake. Mission accomplished. Now there are hardly any legit targets for the phrase.

Another stream observation that stands out to me as particularly lazy that I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere yet: a large chunk of the evolved mon forms seem to spawn in the wild area. Sure the other gens have a handful of catchable evolved, but they’re at least reserved for high-level/unique dungeons. It seems to defeat the point/fun of evolution entirely to catch an oddish at like lv5 and stick it in a reserve slot to leech off exp share only for the game to give you an infinite, easily accessible source of lv30 glooms 2 hours later when the oddish is mid-20s. GF really pulled out the stops to remove as many extraneous mons as possible.
Oh, and to note: it’s super funny to watch someone go through the stages of grief realizing the ‘very powerful’ wild area mons are always one level higher than your catch levelcap. I bet we’re going to see some simple mods for this game that make it a lot more interesting before long.
Also, I’m a bit confused about the screwed up importer theory. Unless they did something colossally stupid like deleting the source files and not having a backup (or not noticing the screwed up models for months after the import) the solution should just be fixing the importer and rerunning it to import the models correctly. Aside from maybe bringing on a couple extra tools programmers I can’t see how this would require the amount of extra manpower they’ve claimed.
