Well, here we go again. In a couple of days, we'll get a new generation of Pokemon games, this time being the first generation on an HD consoles: Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield. Since the announcement of the game, reactions to Game Freak's work has been... divisive to say the absolute least. This seems to be the most controversial game Game Freak has ever done for the franchise, considering some of the key choices done for it.

So what do you think the Metacritic score is going to be? Will the reviewers take into consideration the changes done for the better or the worse? Or will they just give it the regular scores Pokemon games usually get?
