BY JOHNNY GODWIN: Pokemon has been a staple of gaming culture since its original release in 1996, but the most promising and recent entry of the franchise has left a gigantamaxed hole in my nostalgia-filled heart.
Just now finishing the new Sword and Shield campaign (two days after I started), I’ve begun to realize how empty the experience felt while playing. With a shallow story, a cut-down roster of Pokemon, and the easiest leveling system since the innumerous experience glitches in Skyrim, Pokemon Sword and Shield is not nearly as deep as it is wide.
