I have something to say about Sword and Shield, and I don’t know whether a lot of people know this( it’s not related to the national dex).

The problem is related to the online part of Sword and Shield. There’s no battle spot or Global Trading Station. I’m not kidding. They are gone; you can’t even find it in the Y-Comm.

I can forgive Game Freak for taking out most of the pokémon( even though I can’t bring my shiny Tapu Koko over:( ) and that the graphics are inferior to Ultra Sun and Moon on more powerful hardware.

But I am angry at them for removing the battle spot. How the heck am I supposed to prove myself as a good pokémon trainer if I can’t fight anyone? I know that the Y-Comm has an option that allows you to fight random trainers, but no one even wants to battle me!

It’s Zubat sh*%t crazy! They added mints so that you don’t have to breed a thousand Magikarps for the “perfect” competitive shiny Gyarados, but what’s the point if you can’t even battle people with that perfect Gyarados? That’s rubbing salt into the wound.

It would be useless until the next generation which might take another two to three years. My point is, if you play pokémon for competitive battling, play showdown instead( even though I don’t know how to play it).
