Are there people who actually consider 7.8 bad? Because I would rate ORAS 6/10 at most honestly.

Game reviewers go on an American School System rating. 7.8/10 is a C+
6/10 would be a D-list game.

The system is messed up. Instead of being
1 - Absolute Dogshit
2 - Terrible
3 - Awful
4 - Bad
5 - Mediocre
6 - Decent
7 - Good
8 - Excellent
9 - Terrific
10 - GOAT

It's
1 - 5 Absolute Dogshit
6 - Bad
7 - Decent
8 - Good
9 - Excellent
10 - GOATEST

It's somewhat inflated, but to be fair, how often does a 1-5 game actually get reviewed? Shovelware is generally pretty obvious shovelware and with even short games being 10 hours long (usually with multiplayer) you can't really fault people for not spending time on shit that isn't at least average.

7.8 is still the lowest score ORAS got.

It's like people don't know the scale goes from 1-10 and not 5-10.

Really? I always thought people hated Sinnoh the most.

Johto is the one that gets shat on the most for practically being a tumor on Kanto's side.

Sinnoh is a mid tier region.

this just seems like /vp/'s opinion on the games?
I don't agree with it but why are people complaining?

Using more than 5 stars/points to rate anything is just pants-on-head retarded.

Terrible, Bad, OK, Good, Great. There is nothing in between.

7.8 is a rather infamous rating that typically means
>we are pressured to give a good review, but don't want to because it sucked

Someone from /v/ should have a picture from an old gaming magazine that goes into more detail about it, but that's the main idea.

It's more like:

Hoenn is the most hated region
DP are the most hated games (not Platinum)
Johto is hated by most newfags and defended by most genwunners

It changes every year due to nostalgia. A few years ago, Johto was awesome and Hoenn was shit. Then after BW came out Hoenn was awesome and Sinnoh was shit.

Now everyone's getting nostalgia for gen 4, so Sinnoh is awesome to them.

Personally I always loved Sinnoh.

I don't think he knows what "lauded" means.
>praise (a person or their achievements) highly, especially in a public context.

He basically said "the lack of changes will be applauded by [some], while praised by others."

I don't think he actually understands these fans either. The altered story and heavy focus on Mega Evolution, shit like Soaring, as well as the Delta Episode are enough to make them anything but "true" remakes.
A BF more or a BF less doesn't make the difference between a true remake and a reimagination. ORAS has no right to hide between the "stay true to the original" excuse.

Skimmed through his review. He pretty much said everything /vp/ has said: sticking to R/S over E as source material and there not being nearly as many improvements as there should be is bad. Emerald, a 10 year old GBA game, has more content and things to do. And Game Freak apologists are okay with this.

>I know it’s petty, but it really irritates me how nobody ever goes to Bulbagarden for breaking pokemon news. It’s always Serebii or PokeJungle or PokeBeach, but never Bulbagarden, even though all of those other sites, in some way, try to mimic Bulbagarden or Bulbapedia’s style of delivering information. We break the exact same news at the exact same time from the exact same sources, yet even on our own Facebook page we get people telling other commenters to “go to Serebii for confirmation” when it takes us 0.02358734 seconds longer to post something because people are incapable of typing at twice the speed of light, and that’s not counting the time we actually take to confirm that what we’re saying is complete and accurate to the best of our knowledge and ability. No fan site has any authority to confirm anything, and no site is any more or less credible than any other. If Serebii or PJ or WPM couldn’t update their sites for some reason, the news would still break. Bulbagarden does have a Facebook page, a Twitter account, another Twitter account dedicated to breaking news, and even a Tumblr page, all of which you should totally be following, and at least has the advantage of having multiple moderators for all of its social media sites across many time zones, but no one ever seems to believe anything until Serebii posts about it, and that just makes me sad.

>In this fandom, every time new info is leaked or revealed, everyone starts screaming “Serebii confirmed!” like he’s some kind of official source, even on our own Facebook page. Serebii tends to post first and ask questions later, which is fine if you’re into that kind of thing, but at Bulbagarden we pride ourselves on taking that extra bit of time to make sure that the information we’re presenting is accurate to the best of our ability, and a lot of times it feels like that effort is just completely unappreciated.
