Notes:

Despite the fact of all the controversy, there is a very strong showing of metrics for Sword and Shield. We even have a character design beating the infamous discourse surrounding Sword and Shield which is a hefty monument unto itself and speaks about one of the biggest takeaways from the games. Hatterene couldn't quite sustain the 100K+ views across the top 5 unlike its Sun and Moon brethren, but it can boast the most images for each in top 5 over Sun and Moon and Scarlet and Violet.
