>>41725857I still wouldn't say the game's objectively worse than gen 1, but it's close.
Anyway:
1. It's Pokemon
2. It's a big name game on the Switch, something most normalfags are starving for
3. It has normie-friendly online features
4. Any criticisms were deflected as "whining about the dex"
5. Extra shill-y shill reviews by the big names
Holy fuck, look at all the positive reviews, they can't actually say much good about the games, except for "it's new Pokemon, the dex cut isn't a problem, and it's cute, CUTE!"6. Normies don't actually care much about most of the game's issues, minus the Wild Area looking like ass, and online features having problems
