Here's what previous games got (counting the highest between the two versions):
| Game | Metascore |
| Ruby/Sapphire | 82 |
| FireRed/LeafGreen | 81 |
| Emerald | 76 |
| Diamond/Pearl | 85 |
| Platinum | 83 |
| HeartGold/SoulSilver | 87 |
| Black/White | 87 |
| Black 2/White 2 | 80 |
| X/Y | 88 |
| Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire | 83 |
| Sun/Moon | 87 |
| Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon | 84 |
| Let's Go Pikachu/Let's Go Eevee | 80 |
A huge portion of the fanbase is enraged, but looking at how critics reviewed previous games, I'm not sure if that's going to mean anything for SWSH's metascore. I mean, Let's Go got the same scores as Black 2/White 2. That's not a good sign.
