  • Anyone can jump into the Dynamax Adventures, New Pokemon actually have personality, Nice additions for building topflight Pokemon
  • 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

  • A better Wild Area than Isle of Armor, Nostalgiaridden, Max Lair
  • Still feels too short, Please, put trainer battles in the Wild Area
  • Pokémon Sword and Shield: The Crown Tundra is the better of the two DLCs for the game, though that's not saying much. It manages to weave Pokémon's modern sensibilities with some strong nostalgia for old-time fans like myself, and I found myself more than...

  • The Isle of Armor itself is bigger and better than the original Wild Area, with a variety of biomes that are delightful to explore, The story, while light, is charming, with quirky kung fu energy and a worthy star in the adorable Kubfu, Small quality-of-l
  • Doesn't add too much to the endgame

  • The Isle of Armor is a solid first attempt at DLC in a Pokémon game, even if it's too short-lived to offer anything that feels like a truly substantial addition beyond the location itself. While the new Wild Area is beautifully crafted and the exciting se...

  • New Pokemon designs are mostly very solid, Excellent music, Beautiful graphics - the best looking Pokemon game to date, Dynamaxing is actually a fun mechanic
  • 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
  • While I thought Pokemon Sun and Moon were a step in the right direction for the franchise between mechanics like the island challenge and features like Poke Pelago, Sword and Shield just kind of feel like a plateau for the series.There's nothing outright...
