The ending to S/V made the game for me and really made me emotional. Like, the game is flawed, but damn, as someone who's played since he was a kid, it did end up feeling like a cathartic "This is what these games can be" in a way that's hard to explain.
It may also have to do with missing a lot of the middle Gens (I've played Gens 1-3, then the latest 2) but the jump from gen 3 to Sword was crazy. While Sword and Shield were also really flawed, they showed promise which really got me excited for Scarlet and Violet and I really wasn't disappointed. The jump from Sw/Sh to S/V had a similar feeling to jump between Gen 2 and Gen 3 where it felt like the games finally found their footing. Which is really exciting to see as someone who grew up with pokemon.
