I know absolutely nothing about Pokémon (just played the Blue Version on Gameboy Something like 20 years ago) but I just read the Review. The guy isn't complaining so much about the water in the Environment, but he's saying that there are too many watet Pokemons. It seems like they Appear in every Battle, so you just need one single tactic to get through the Game. In his case, it was an overleveled Pikachu. It makes the Game feel unbalanced and lacks a challenge.

If all that is true, he kinda had a Point.

pokemon is a easy game, big news...  you never needed a good team to win the game.

If they didn't learn from previous games, it makes the matter even worse. But seriously, I don't think just because "it has been this way forever" we should ignore everything bad about it. I mean, there are easy games and there are boring games. If there is no variety in the gameplay, it gets repetative to a point where even a child doesn't have fun with it.

Whatever, like I said, I don't know too much about Pokemon. But I think it would be fair if everyone calms down a bit and stops to hate on everyone who doesn't praise Pokemon as the second coming of christ. I don't know if this review is too harsh or anything, but there's no point in discussing it. Reviews are always subjective. If the reviewer didn't have too much fun with it, they should give it a lower score and not 90+ because "ZOMG, DEM POKEMONZ!". That is also the reason why I think scores in reviews are totally useless.
