One talked about in battle and other one talked about wild area. I guess.

I would say the viewpoint of someone who is a massive fan that would like the game regardless of what it is is still valuable to have
Please I urge you to go take a walk outside and forget, at least for a moment, about these games.
Roguelikes/lites were loathed by Western audiences back then. It would review better today.
It's already a 2800 word review. We can't bring up every single detail if they leave no positive or negative impression on the reviewer and seeming as this is a video review, the viewer can judge visuals for themselves.
I low key agree with you but I'll change "story" with "characters".
Flawed game, but it really felt like it had a soul.

Gamereactor Indonesia (8/10)
I know, I know.
Thanks.
I'm going to go find something to play. Sorry for the trouble.
Metacritic score keeps falling... down to 80 now.
It's nice to see that the "81 metacritic" narrative was blown wide open

yeah folks tend to get "objective" confused with "what I agree with" as far as game reviews go

Is this the most millennial post of all time or what?
Well, you know, they maybe didn't affect the reviewer's opinion.
Though you think glaring technical issues are the sort of thing you'd at least mention in a consumer review.
Death Stranding's review pattern is wildly different, which kind of underscores how shot in the dark this can be lol
It's going to be hilarious if these score lower than the Let's Go games, the entries that "fans" hated and said we should wait for these instead.
(And this most definitely is going to happen. Good God, not even the Pokemon effect can save these games).

Not exactly the type to have an honest discussion. I'd say it's better to just drop it
LGPE was way better than expected. If it had conventional catching as an option then it would be one of the best.
I think people are forgetting that reviewers are meant to review the game in front of them, not how it compares to previous games. If removing "bubble", or certain Pokemon, or changing how TMs work didn't adversely affect their enjoyment of this game specifically, why should it detract from the overall score? I realize that's frustrating, but that's just how it works. They're reviewing the game they have, not the one they want/don't have.
so after all the "controversy" it's gonna settle in the 80's like literally every other mainline pokemon game
quelle surprise

Agree. Though I still like the story it felt like they had a vision for it outside of making just another pokemon game with big legendary pokemon at the end. Even though it also is that.
Third versions usually review worse. If you haven't played SM, the Ultra versions are much better, yeah.
I wonder if it's indicative of the game's actual quality, normally when a game only gets a handful of early reviews the score dips quite a bit once the rest of the reviews roll in.
I don't think people are trying to say you're not important, if people are being that cold to you then report their posts. If you're unhappy with the game you can still voice your opinion, actually many people here seem to be getting along. I've yet to see any mod action so far...
USUM made some changes in the story which arguably made it worse. It was also released just a year later so SM was still fresh and had a lot of problems that USUM didn't fix
Yikes, hopefully the criticism affects the sales (though i doubt it)
SuMo was great
read that as Baldimon for some reason, lol!
But what if it was named Digimon and was not only made by/for Ninty? That is the true test!
They changed the story in unfortunate ways, but the added content makes them slightly better.
Of course, they came out a year after the originals, and were inherently less impressive as a result.
People seem to agree USUM is generally better gameplay wise, but the original SM most praised point is the story and USUM screws it up. So it's hard to say, depends on what you care more.
It's currently almost 10 points lower than every first pokemon game in a new generation, going back a decade.
Story was worse but the gameplay was better. If you want to play one I would go with Ultra Sun/Moon over regular Sun/Moon.
To be fair, a 80 is a noticeable drop from the 88 and 87 of the 3DS generations.
You don't have to be sorry, but do take care of yourself. Chin up! :-)
I assume the addition/improvement are not big enough to justify spending another 40$ if you already play S/M.
We need to go back:
Give me Pokemon Let's Go Johto with the same charm as Heart Gold/Soul Silver and the story of Crystal.
Also on topic: I was thinking between 84-89 so am kind of suprised it's lower then that but that can still change of course.
I will probably still wait awhile before buying it, who knows we might get an Ultra Sword/Ultra Shield version later on.

Looks like my Fear of a lack of story has come to past. None of the reviews I've read have mentioned a story beyond the gym battles. I figured since this was the first one on a main console they might go back to the traditional story of trying to be a champion rather then events pushing the player forward.
At least the reviews have been positive and the gym battles sound very interesting, so color me impressed still. I just hope I have it in me to finish the game since there's no real pushing factor beyond beating all the gym.

Honestly if that game didn't have such an uncomfortable control scheme and actually let us catch Pokemon, it would've been a pretty solid remake.
