The battles in Pokemon scarlet look shit

And here's the thing. I'm actually having fun while playing it. But I recognize that it is a deeply deeply flawed game that was nowhere close to being in a releasable state. I am going to keep playing it for a bit, shiny hunting and stuff, but it doesn't have the staying power of Sword/Shield. This game's competitive scene is going to be dead on arrival. Which really sucks because a lot of the new abilities and moves and Pokemon, and terasterallizing are all really cool, and has the potential to shake up battling in a big way. On paper this should be the best Pokemon game. And unless they take the time to fix it and improve the playing experience and performance and put back in some things they removed like the ability to play set style and skip animations and the like, this game is going to be a serious black mark on the Pokemon franchise that will negatively impact the entire generation and beyond.
