"The mechanic is just not to the reviewers liking"

No, ofcourse it isn't. I'll ask you again, have you read the link I gave you? It's literally impossible to make a review without OPINIONS and OPINIONS are PERSONAL and based on PREFERENCES and wether you like it or not BIASES. Let's for example take Mario Galaxy. I could say that all those reviewers giving it a 100 score are biased and shouldn't be reviewing the game, because the obviously are bieased towards liking the game mechanics.

 

But since you basically refute logic, there is no reason for me to continue this discussion, because the very idea of an unbiased review is impossible.

No I didn't read the link.  I don't go to links.  Links go to sites that are most likely of some shit that just wants views.  I stick to mainly forums so that these shit ass sites don't get revenue from me.  

I know what freaking opinions and preferences are.  Everyone has them and there is no way of keeping htem out of a review.  But just like any statistics one does you need to remove the outliers, because they are not a good representation of the data.  Something that since Metacritic doesn't do, makes it a complete joke to me.

To me this guy/girl reviewing this game sounds like an outlier.  Not because of the score.  Nothing wrong with 7.8, but because of the views expressed.  It seems this person despises the water aspect of Pokemon, from traveling to the pokemon.  Hardly someone that should be reveiwing a game that has it as its main theme.  Same as I said before with the court case.  you should not put a racist person on the jury for the whatever the case is going on with the cop and the black kid that cuased the riots.  It's clearly gonna be a completely biased point of view.  

And as I said before, it goes both ways.  A die hard pokefanatic should not review this game either.  You should not have Misty review this game.  


So now you're changing your mind? Reviews can be biased after all? This person hardly despises the water aspects of pokemon, she just doesn't like them and don't think they're well executed. Despise is a very stong word. This score is 6 points below the average score. That's hardly an outlier. It just means she didn't like it quite as much as the average reviewer did.

 

Also, how can you say that this person despises the water aspect of pokemon when you haven't even read the review?
