It is for sure not topping Gen 5

Rip the positive / negative bullet points at the end of IGN reviews though

The leaks are almost 100% true

if u look at gamespots negatives

completely irrelevant

gamespot actually trash

Oh they are. But they’re not the negatives that they are all the way

Eurogamer is more balanced generally

look at the negative???

so stupid

Since when did any of these reviewers give a firetruck about competitive

I'll take three of those positives

Dynamax is also p bad but its only three turns

Raids do not look as challenging as they've said

are u sure

why woudl they lie

I wouldn't say they are lying

Told you eurogamer is more balanced

Not lying, but reviewers generally aren't good at playing games

So something challenging for them could be normal for us

well the thing is most reviewers dont get too involved in the games they play

Yep

if it doesnt mesh with them that well, they'll just give it a 7-8 outta 10 and call it a day

like either way they're making money from it

> This is a new generation of Pokémon games that promises much, with brilliant new Pokémon, a raft of intricate system-tinkering for long-term fans and a series-first stab at an "open-world" area. But all that's new seems to have come at a cost - and the cost is almost everything else in the game.

Nintendo ends friendship with eurogamer

In the first paragraph haha

> Traditional Pokémon in traditional England - or at least a parochial, Surrey retiree's idea of it.
