Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Pokemon Conquest

That annoyed me beyond anything. Why is there a limit to my recruiting?!? That's by far and away the most interesting part of the game (to me at least)! Why can't I just stash guys in something similar to a PC box or something? Why can't I get every Grunt that I come across? I had to ditch one of my earliest recruits because I needed a Warlord and this guy was weak.

Who cares about replay value when there's about 30 hours of post-game material in addition to the 20+ hours of regular game material?

There's always a good bit of RNG manipulation. Each battle is nearly randomly-generated as far as initial position. So no two battles are ever exactly alike.

You've read some pretty inaccurate reviews... There are few games with more replay than this - especially if you take time to work on perfect links, evolving, and get into the multiplayer.

I'd like to see a Risk-style multiplayer version of this game, though, where you and your opponents fight to control the Ransei region.

Heck I'd like to see tournament support for this more than the actual VG lol

If there were more moves for each Pokemon, then I'd agree with you. But, as it currently stands, the game is all about type advantage and positioning. I'd like to see more variety in what you can do with your teams, especially given that the entire metagame would devolve to the same 20-ish Warlords and 40-ish Pokemon. There is so much that you could potentially do with this game, both on a casual and competitive level, that it would be a fantastic OP opportunity. But the current iteration? Not quite there yet...

BTW, I'm now using Excel spreadsheets and Word to better organize my stuff and get my Perfect Links all taken care of. Bidoof sucks.
 
I think it would come down to personal preferences on Warlords. Even with only one attack type you're limited to six war lords and six Pokemon. I could see trying to make the best of what you have.
 
I for one agree with Bullados. There are certain warlords that simply tower over others (Kenshin's Inspiration anyone), and many Pokemon are easily better than others (specifically legendaries). Which is all the more reason why we should have a sequel IMO.
