It's already hard to tell who's legitimately upset with the IGN review and who's just having some fun with it.

On a serious note I was expecting the game to not get such hot reviews but Aonuma's comments give me hope.

I am not upset, although I do find this complaint to be redundant due to the game being based in the tropics.

That's kind of backwards logic. GameFreak could have set the game wherever they wanted. They chose to design the region with a lot of islands requiring the use of Surf to travel between, and added Dive on top of that making for multiple layers of water travel. They gave one of the villain teams and even the champion a water theme.

The complaint isn't that the variety of Pokemon and scenery is inappropriate for the setting, the complaint is that the setting is monotonous and boring and should have had less water. Maybe the reviewer would have felt differently if she had played Omega Ruby instead.
