That seems unusually low for a main line Pokemon game. Whats wrong with it? Is there anything really wrong with it? Has anyone got to play it some yet since it released a few hours ago?

it's an copy of diamond and pearl. People wanted the game to have new features and it doesn't have any. Instead it's just a copy of diamond and pearl.

It's pretty much equal to the Lets Go series. It's not bad.

In 3rd grade when Red and Blue dropped, I never would have imagined the series would stagnate so hard for 20+ years.

I dunno how people put time into these shallow, grindy, RNGfests anymore.

Oh please. And you never imagined we'd have 8 generations of pokemon. How many of us in grade school ever imagined it would get past the 1st or second generation?

Everyone knows that less than 90 for games is "throw it in the trash and purge your memory with booze" level bad.

Lol, seriously. Nobody could've foreseen how much Pokemon would blow up back then. I doubt GameFreak themselves expected it to do anywhere near as well as it has.

Low effort cash-in that didn't even bother to bring back all the features of the generation.

No I didn't. I was mostly mocking game reviews and how anything but "top marks" means utter garbage trash that mere mention is a grave insult in the eyes of many - reviewer and reviewee alike.

That said, this just seems as especially lack lustre and poor effort for pokemon. But if you like the formulae then it's probably fine tbh.
