#and I still remember the backlack sword and shield got for the fucking trees

Hey quick question, why the fuck was everyone angry at sword and shield for being ugly, rushed pokemon games but was pretty much completely fine with Scarlett and Violet being worse?

#simon says #I'm absolutely ranting right now #I'm trying out pokemon violet (using a friend's copy) and I am still so iffy on it #because this game is... so fucking ugly and poorly optimized #and I still remember the backlack sword and shield got for the fucking trees #this game... is worse #it's worse! #and it didn't get nearly as much backlash #sword and shield still get shit to this day but scarlet and violet get to just... move on?? #I'm honestly so upset #Galar looks so much better compared to sword and shield #people are saying the gameplay is what makes Scarlett and Violet worth it but I'm just... not seeing it so far??? #just #OUGH #sword and shield I just sorta forget about #like they're not awful it's just easy to kinda forget about them and not play them #but Scarlet and Violet so far make me want to just turn off the game and play a 2D pokemon game instead #sword and shield's biggest crime is being forgettable #scarlet and violet are actively infuriating #they can't keep doing this
