Or I just think it depends on how one plays their games
I don't know why length is being a big deal for the first time ever in Pokemon
Pointing out that you're engaging in confirmation bias does not, in fact, mean that you can't be criticised for engaging in confirmation bias. This is a risible statement.
No review is objective, including the Eurogamer one, and they would be the very first to admit it.
Someone quick make a new site called closed critic which excludes non objective reviews.
Ars Technica is saying portable is smooth, only a few dips docked. They feel it was made for a handheld experience more then a TV one.
omg i'm making a joke about how people responded to death stranding's score
You assume I don't have issues with other companies?
I'm simply sick of any complaints I have being brushed off and being lumped in with the harassers all the time.
GF did a lot these past few Gens I don't like, why should I have to accept that?
This is kind of embarrassing. The games are scoring below most mainline Pokemon games, not drastically, but below. Review copies were very limited though, so it could still swing either way the more reviews come in later on
Cutting pokemons / moves etc from the game is absolutely dissapointing and hopefully knocks down the score in most reviews. Still given the relatively high score, the other stuff which hasn't gained much attention in the leaks must be pretty good, so I am starting to get pretty hyped about playing these games again.
If people - especially fans - are genuinely happy with the game then that's great. But the games have felt increasingly watered down over the years and the reviews, even the positive ones, seem to confirm that.
I mean wait until comparing or using the sites lol. The current numbers are very unreliable.
Gamecentral weren't that impressed:
In Short: The furore over Dexit may be overblown but even without it this is an underwhelming and unambitious attempt to modernise Pokémon and expand its horizons.
Pros: The core Pokémon gameplay is as engrossing as ever and the Wild Area is a small but important step forward. Some great new pokémon designs and surprisingly fun script.
Cons: Low tech values and production values. Too few new features and too many old ones that are removed or smoothed over to the point of irrelevance.
Score: 7/10

It will only include Jim Sterling's Final Fantasy XIII review.
Pokémon criticism isn't about political or cultural issues, but sure.
I say we take the unscored reviews and give our best guess of how they WOULD have scored it if they weren't COWARDS.

looks like not a whole lot of review codes were sent out, we may have to wait a while for more reviews.
This is what I'm hoping for, there's no way the twitter bash gone unnoticed.

Unfortunately there's no proof that these dev cycles are going to change, this is probably the new normal and I don't see the games getting better because of it.
It's almost like in the grand scheme of things these complaints are small, pointless, and have done more harm than good when it comes to the reputation of Pokemon fans.
User banned (3 days): ignoring staff post
We already saw the leveling with the streamers, and they were overleveled while skipping content. I don't get why these reviewers have to lie.
Okay so it's a great game according to the critics, won't be relying on user scores since they will be bias as hell. My best bet is to purchase it myself and review it, while comparing it to previous entries. But im not interested im purchasing this game, at least not now. In not too interested in the idea of diamond, pearl remake either so I'll stay tuned.
But I hope you guys enjoy the game.

People act like following leaks makes them as experienced on the matter as people who played the games.
Just like Star Wars
I don't think most players ever go out of their way to bring over Pokemon not found in the region. They play the game with what the game provides and then put it away.
Which is probably why such drastic cuts to the Pokedex aren't something that seem game ruining for most people.

It's always interesting to see such disparity in review scores from the same body albeit it a different division.
sometimes games run smoother in handheld since 720p is the max there compared to 1080 on tvmode.
Irc Digital foundry had some good videos on that.
