The A TEAM worked on SwSh?? Holy crap, that’s shameful.

IKR!? that's why I had such HIGH expectations for pokemon sword and shield, and what did we get? an un-finished product. Everyone in the game has an ego / was designed to make you salty and NOT have a fun experience, they cut out MORE than 60% of the pokedex just so they can force you to buy the DLC, the routes felt like corridors, and they had the WORST rival and "evil team" in the franchise. (not to mention macro cosmos was shoe-horned in at the last minute 'cuz they completely forgot to put a PROPER evil team in the game) I dunno 'bout you, but I HATE hop, Bede and Marnie. Hop thinks he's going to be the next champion just because he's the brother of Leon (honestly, he's not much better and he's DEFINITELY not a good model for the kid...) and marnie thinks she's all that cuz she acts all cute-sy in front of everyone. (what a f*cking sl*t. sorry, but I had to get that one out) it's not until you kick their arses in the finals, you smack some sense in them. 

Yeah, the reason why the game is un-finished is because they wanted to get the game out in time for the release of the nintendo switch lite, which from a marketing stand point is a good call, but you're left with a pretty weak entry in the pokemon franchise and now, they're trying to suck the pennies out of people. they want them to buy the DLC / get nintendo switch online JUST to get the full experience. Here in australia, you're paying $75 extra ON TOP of what you already paid for the game. (which is $70 - 80 for a copy of Pokemon Sword and Shield. So effectively, I'm paying nearly $160 just so I can get the FULL experience. what a rip-off...)

...and this is what the apologists DONT understand...

Hey man, don’t worry. I get it. There’s a reason I REFUSE to buy the game. They are NOT getting my hard earned cash for a half-product.
