Got Pokemon Shield.

After all the stupid drama leading up to its release, turns out it's just a ****ing Pokemon game.

Pretty good so far. The pop-in is hilariously bad and some parts of the environment look PS2 worthy, but the mechanics are tight and balanced. And they kept the visible encounters from LGPE, so you can actually see wild Pokemon before you kick the **** out of them. Nice touch. Makes the world way more vibrant. And if you prefer the old-school random encounters, you can still get those too.

Oh, and they learned from the Sun and Moon ****show and finally gave players the choice to skip tutorials and ****. Thank Crom. Ultra Moon did eventually grow on me, especially in the post game, but if I ever had to slog through that goddamn story again, I'd sit on a ****in Cloyster and let it Waterfall my ******* into a slip 'n slide.
