Pokemon Scarlet and Violet VS Sword and Shield!

Midas puts the two newest Pokemon regions head to head to see what is the better game!

With two full generations of mainline Pokémon games on the Nintendo Switch, fans are constantly debating: Which is the better experience—Pokémon Scarlet & Violet or Sword & Shield? In this video, we dive deep into both titles to find out which game truly delivers the best modern Pokémon adventure.

We break down and compare each game’s:

World design – linear vs open-world exploration
Story & characters – from Leon and the Gym Challenge to Nemona and the Treasure Hunt
New mechanics – Dynamax vs Terastallization
Multiplayer & online features – raid battles, co-op, and trading
Performance & polish – how both games stack up technically
And overall gameplay experience and replayability

If you're trying to decide which Pokémon game to play next, or want a full breakdown of how Game Freak evolved the series across these two generations, this video gives you an honest, in-depth look at both titles. Whether you loved Galar’s structure or prefer Paldea’s freedom, this comparison helps settle the debate.
