I missed all the games between Platinum and Sword so I found a lot of it fairly challenging* at first even if the game is a straight line. My favorite part was Pokemon that previously needed to be traded to obtain could be found in the game.
*no battle items, battle type set, no legendaries, pokemon must be similar or lower level to gym as my rule set
That straight line thing really frustrated me, one of the things that I loved about Pokémon as a kid was going one route, noticing somewhere I can’t get to due to lack of HM then exploring the map again much later discovering all these little secrets. It made the world feel just that little bit more like there’s still something to discover.
Sword is the newest I’ve played. I thought it was cool, and loved the outfits. But I found the puzzles to be a bit too easy.
