Wait, how are no Pokemon games over 90 on metacritic? That makes no sense to me. I also feel like Sonic Advance deserves to be on this list, but it has an 87 meta. Stupid critics don't know what's good I guess.

Edit: So it turns out that metacritic doesn't track older systems such as Game Boy and Game Boy Color. Pokemon Silver got over 90% on GameRankings, another review aggregate website. Here are the Game Boy Color games that got over 90%:

1. Metal Gear Solid 95.61%
2. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe 92.63%
3. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages 92.20%
4. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons 91.37%
5. Pokemon Silver Version 91.35%
6. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX 91.21%
7. Mario Tennis 90.78%
8. Donkey Kong Country 90.38%
9. Pokemon Puzzle Challenge 90.20%
10. Wario Land 3 90.00%

 

I was about to say the same thing since Metacritic doesn't track anything from Nintendo's Gameboy and GBC. You know what's really weird though, when i looked through Pokemon Red and Blue's scores on Gamerankings i found this....

 

Nintendo Power 10/01/98 Review 7.2 out of 10

 

Nintendo's own gaming magazine too! Don't get me wrong a 7.2 wasn't that bad back in those days but when you got other magazines and sites giving them 9s and 10s your own magazine gives them a 7.2!
