I have been hearing a lot of negative things about sword and shield. The graphics are clunky, the National dex is gone, you can't catch certain Pokemon unless you have a certain badge oh, people don't like the giant Pokemon gimmick (I actually do, though), the list goes on. Part of me feels like it'll make its money back in spite of the negativity, but a lot of people swear they're not going to buy either of these games.
