Pokemon Sword and Shield have gone from being two of the most-anticipated games of the year to two of the most controversial. The controversy started when it was revealed that Pokemon Sword and Shield wouldn't have a National Pokedex, and revelations since then have only soured fans' opinions on the game even further. The latest Pokemon Sword and Shield controversy deals with the games' animations and graphics, with some feeling as though they were lied to by Game Freak.

The hashtag GameFreakLied is the #1 trend on Twitter at the time of this writing, with many fans providing examples of how they feel Game Freak lied to them. Many of these examples have to do with animations that fans feel are lackluster, especially since Game Freak claimed that it was working on higher-quality animations for the new games. Others feel as though the graphics in Sword and Shield fail to take full advantage of the Nintendo Switch console, and look more akin to a 3DS game. Others still have provided evidence that Game Freak has recycled some animations and things from past Pokemon games for Sword and Shield.
