............That can't be true, it just can't.

stupid? more like masterful game design! What a dumb hater for wanting standard features in other videogames, ugh!

Death Stranding and Pokémon will probably be some of the best review threads this year and they're back to back. Will be interesting to see how the same posters react to negative reviews.

I'm surprised at everyone being surprised by X/Y's score. Terrible post-game, non-existent story, and Lumiose City glitch aside, that game had a lot of customization options, a decent amount of polish in its presentation, and probably the best online in any Pokemon game to date.

And to say it for the fifth time on this website, I'm still upset we never got a third version.

credit where it's due. The models were very efficient and they did all 700 of them + rigging + animations. Mad respect for Pokemon XY
It also has the best online in the series. These two things carried that game a lot at launch. After people got used to 3D and the online XY got bumped down to worst generation.

Because it's a fun game with a huge focus of bringing the old and new players back? Also because its a good game that most people liked?
it's not bad at all, i had a ton of fun with it and it's probably my most played Pokemon game of all time, but i don't think its better than either of those two games in hindsight

I think maybe 78. It's going to be interesting to see the general reactions to the new directions this gen is taking.

Seeing B2W2 as the lowest of the main core games is sad af not gonna lie.
That's how I felt about the game at the time tbh.

I had Poké burnout and Gen 5 did not do anything to remedy it. Meanwhile Gen 6 felt a lot more fresh and exciting at the time in terms of what it offered, made more of an impression.

Though I generally think the gap in quality between Pokémon generations is a lot smaller than the reviews would imply.

Keep waiting, Pokemon Z must be right around the corner right now!

Well must reviews are done in the moment and the hype cycle leading up to Black/White was lesser compared to the campaign for X/Y. Also, it's a point, that's meaningless at that stage especially for metacritic.

It kinda says something when a common game-breaking glitch didn't impact the game's scores.
