Thinking that this will be lower than 90 is absurd

This is in the wrong thread and a strange question, but here we go;

Is there a list of new Pokemon which says whether they evolve or not? No pictures or anything like that, just a simple written list like "Sobble - Yes"

I doubt it, but it'd be nice to know which Pokemon to have in my party.

I can't believe people are using "cut moves" as a bullet point to argue that this is the worst game ever.

Like stick to the other stuff cause this one just makes you look nuts. Yikes.

I don't think so, but I can tell which new ones don't evolve if you want

It will get 80+ cause it's a new mainline Pokemon game, regardless of if it's the same tired formula over and over again.

We need some images with Norman Reedus and Scorbunny in honor of this review month. We're not going to get a more interesting one for some time. lol

Going to say between 80-90%, as much as I've been disapointed by the changes, GameFreak's handling of the marketing and the loss of the dex, I doubt it will mean much to some people.

Like at the end of the day, Pokémon's formula is bulletproof. If Let's Go could barely crack the 70s, there is no way Sword and Shield will hit that point.

I never went into that review thread but it seems DS got an 85 on opencritic? That seems like a really good score, what was the review thread like?

How the HELL did X/Y score higher than Sun/Moon AND Black/White???
They were a solid jumping in point for lapsed fans, 3D for the first time, fantastic online features, a return of favourite Pokemon, the first 3DS Pokemon title. And they were, despite what everyone here would have you try and believe, actually good games that just needed a 3rd version to fill out the obviously unfinished/unpolished areas. By comparison you have Sun/Moon which treat the player like a toddler with the intense hand holding and boring story, and Black/White which didn't even let you have a Pikachu until after the credits had rolled - they were always going to review worse.

It's a mess. And 83 MC isn't considered thaaat high for an AAA game so it gives room to a lot of discussion, but it's more on how controversial the game and Kojima are and people accusing reviewers of being biased pro or against Kojima, etc. Kinda the same as this thread.

I honestly have no clue how these will review.
