I personally wouldn't be shocked if Pokemon scores 88+. I think it looks really good, despite all the hate.

It's getting some vocal minority people wound up a bit because it doesn't have every single one of the near 900 or so Pokemon in it, that said... there are millions of people who are ready to get their hands on that and love every bit of it, there are gonna be so many copies of Pokemon Sword/Shield under christmas tree's Nintendo are gonna make bank on the success.

I think the amount of time and work that they've put into the game I would be very shocked to see less than 85% for it, at a bare minimum I could see it touching close to the 90% mark unless there is something genuinely bad about the game at launch but Pokemon is gonna sell a ton of software and a ton of hardware, it's one of the few titles as well that can achieve over a 1:1 attach rate considering that a large number of people will be buying both versions of the game.

But just regarding the hate.... 1 person making 100 posts of "it's gonna suck balls" doesn't mean 100 people are angry about it, just that one person wants others to join the cause and it ain't working so well for them.

Well said.  Agreed on all points.  There is no doubt in my mind Sword/Shield will have well over 100 Pokemon, which is plenty.  I never understood the desire to have 1,000+.  Reminds me of people complaining Forza only has 300 cars.  Do people really use all 300 cars?  I never did, I picked a few dozen and had fun.  Pokemon is the same, I will pick my favorites and use them.  Having extra Pokemon for the sake of having them isn't a reason to be negative.
