I really liked Sword/Shield too, but haven't played any others since.
I did also get the new Pokemon Snap but struggled to get into like I did the original.
Sword/Shield are underrated for sure, sword the only pokemon game I’ve sat and completed the Pokédex for (basic dex, never managed to finish the expansion). I loved everything about it, the gym battles being in stadiums is sort of how I’d always imagined it’d be if Pokémon were real (so that pleased me way more than it should have really) I always enjoyed facing the elite 4 but i think I enjoyed battling the gym trainers when they’re not holding back a little bit more because it added a bit of variety upon revisiting as it was a different set of gym leaders each time.
Played Pokémon violet too, but although it was open world and pretty cool, I was disappointed because I couldn’t customise my character to the same extent as sword. The game didn’t feel like a classic Pokémon game either. I enjoyed it on the whole, but not a patch on pokemon sword!
