Unfortunately, the end result is a bit of a disappointment. Guides editor Matthew Reynolds (twitter.com/Crazyreyn), guides writer Lottie Lynn (twitter.com/Stormscribe) and USGamer's Hirun Cryer (twitter.com/HirunCryer) join Chris Tapsell (twitter.com/ChrisTapsell, who wrote our Pokémon Sword and Shield review) who explains why, despite taking one step forward in some areas - such as an excellent new roster and the introduction of the franchise's first open area - it takes two steps back almost everywhere else.
