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.

Ok, why is Emerald the lowest rated one of all? What's the reason behind that?

Honestly, no idea. Ruby/Sapphire and FireRed/LeafGreen also have unusually low scores compared their analogues from other generations, so it might be part of the greater trend of game critics inflating their scores over time.
