DON'T BUY ISLE OF ARMOR FOR POKEMON SWORD AND SHIELD - NO CONTENT, 3 NEW POKEMON, GEN 1 RETURNS
The more I play the Isle Of Armor DLC for Pokemon Sword and Shield the more I dislike it. Datamines have proven that every new Pokemon was revealed before the DLC was out so any hope of more is gone.
Most of the Pokemon you will find added to the region are generation one Pokemon because of course Nintendo has to try to pander with it.
The level scaling in Isle Of Armor that was hyped up and talked about by people who played the pre-release doesn't appear to be functioning or isn't what they were told. One reporter explicitly stated that they asked Nintendo about scaling and they went as far as to say level 100 Pokemon would mean level 100 opponent's yet as far as I am aware this is not the case.
An entire segment of the DLC is level locked where you are expected to have a level 70 of a Pokemon you received at level 10. If it is so important that the tower can't be level scaled why am I getting it at level 10? "Friendship" growth was required already where we stared into space why am I now required to use Kubfu to level 70 to just progress.
The Alolan Digletts feel like busy work to me to add onto the hours you will get out of the DLC. I'm encouraged to look into every area but honestly the free movement camera doesn't play well with the cramped areas and feels more like a nuisance than anything.
Speaking of the free camera why do I have follow Pokemon, which you might be able to turn off I didn't deck, that now randomly pop up to block my already poor view? You would think being on the bike they would disappear but instead they just randomly teleport behind you preventing you from looking around.
I haven't completed the entire DLC and honestly I am not sure I want to at this point. I know there is no great pay out and the DLC seems entirely based around delaying me getting to the mediocre payouts with things like level grinds I am already bored of from playing the base game 40+ hours.
Unless you are desperate to personally catch generation one Pokemon so far my suggestion is wait for The Crown Tundra and pray it has better content.
