Not sure whether you've played the game. I haven't: I cancelled my order due to bad advance publicity, and I was feeling that I was probably right when I saw early reviews complaining about the motion controls and low difficulty. But I'm turning around because two YouTubers who always fall at the “cynical” end of the spectrum (Jim Stirling & Blunty) have given the game very positive reports. Blunty in particular is 36 hours in and says that the game does become as challenging as earlier Pokemon games, and he's played them all.
The reason I'm putting this comment in this thread is that once the presale bonanza is over, what will matter to sales is whether word of mouth is good or bad amongst the sort of gamer who doesn't hang out at VGChartz or Metacritic. And I think that word of mouth will be good. The review bombers read to me like spoiled, angry children (the Pokéball Plus is a functioning bluetooth controller, not a “$40 Mew dlc”) and I think they will turn out to be on the wrong side of history.
