Eh, I clearly remember before Sword and Shield were revealed, a lot of people were hyping of the idea of a big BotW-esque overhaul on the Switch. And yes, there was some disappointment when the first trailer landed, but there was still mostly hype. People knew that it wouldn't be as big or ambitious as most AAA games that come out nowadays, but they were judging Sw/Sh on the standard that Gamefreak was making another iterative sequel so they wouldn't have to toss everything out and start over, which people automatically assumed would include all the old pokemon and moves. It was only when the purge was announced that the shit really hit the fan.

I dont remember anyone being excited about a big overhaul. When I heard people talk about it, it was the same talk that usually happened when dealing with Pokmon. Though, I think the disappointment would have been larger than Dexit. Now everybody loses everything. Sure, they still have their collection, but now they cant use any of it. Just thinking about how mad they are that they cant use everything, it seems it wouldve even worse if they couldnt use anything from before...

Breath of the Wild got way less hate than Sword and Shield is getting. It did stir up some heated complaints compared to most traditional Zelda games, but overall it recieves tons of praise, much more than Skyward Sword before it. It was an overhaul with a lot of thought and effort put into it.

Idk. Maybe it was because I was on FB and the BotW board. But there was a lot of people constantly complaining. I heard more complaining about that then Pokmon, tbh. I do think Pokmon got more, but I rarely hear the complaints. And they are much more spread out then BotW, too...
