>>34170485Keep in mind, the people professionally reviewing Pokemon games play a shitload of other games. To their eyes, each game is a small island of fun, since all Pokemon game is at least a 7/10.
What make /vp/ special, is that we play a LOT of Pokemon games. Thus, each game is interconnected by their previous generation. For example, FRLG is fun, but it is quite bad compared to RSE.
Unironically, if you want a more fair review of Pokemon games, Youtubers are better at it. They know what criticism to look for in Pokemon games. All IGN can see whats bad in ORAS is 'Too much water'.
