>>48425248>caring about "professional" or fan scoresBW2 having metascore of 80 is a good evidence of the amateurism of the "specialized" media, unless the developer fucks up massively, 99% of them will just give a score that will please the fanbase, so they can avoid death threats for giving 8.8s to the wrong games.
It's obvious with the Nintendo Bonus for big franchises like Zelda, Mario Kart and Smash Bros. For mainline Pokemon games I feel like they just pick a random number between 80 and 89 and call it a day.
