I can't see Xenoblade, The Last of Us (cool movie though) nor Portal in this list, it is wrong.
Xenoblade: boring gameplay (press A when the cooldown is gone), ugly noses.
TLOU had mediocre shooting and bad stealth (I played on normal, don't care if its better on survivor, it was locked and I'm not playing a cinematic game twice, the good part is the story and I have seen that). I was pretty much rushing the game to see the next cutscene. At least I was playing it with friends so I could just watch.
Portal felt like a tutorial, you can solve the puzzles just by looking at them and GLaDOS humor gets old fast.

About Pokémon: saying it doesn't do anything isn't a bad thing for me. I prefer a game that improves its formula everytime than one that tries something new and ends up being worse.
