I was a little surprised that the user score for Pokemon is 4.5 that doesn't feel right at all.

it's like people putting bad fan reviews to Captain Marvel just cause Brie Larson made some feminist comments. Honestly seeing people put a 0 to a game in general is stupid, make some good points and be objective and maybe the comment will be heard by gamefreak compare to just whining and putting 0 with "shitty game" as a comment.

Totally agree.

I could accept a 5 or 6 review from a customer (maybe even lower) because he really disliked this game, but 0-4 seem like totally unfair to almost any playable game.

Haven't played yet and possibly will take a while to buy, but considering the few pokemon I played even a 7 would be a low score for what the games usually have. They are fun, have a lot of content, pretty pokemon and all (even the low IQ and some lazyness of game freak didn't made the game bad in the past so I hardly see how it could become worse than "any pokemon game before").

Just seems like an odd comparison to me lol.  I mean they are both divisive, but thats about it.

I have been avoiding Death Stranding discussion tbh.  I do not have time to play a game that ties me to a TV right now, but I will be playing it at the end of the year and I do not want to be spoiled.  I have to use or lose my PTO for the year and I have yet to use any of it so I put in for it from Dec 21st through Jan 1st.  Seems like the perfect time if you ask me!

Yes it is an odd comparison and I don't know if when brought to DS was just to mock it that even with all the Hype and Kojima it would lose to pokemon.

The thread is spoiler free until the last page or so, don't worry to much. but there were a lot of "not good posts there", and from a quick look this thread also received a lot of flack from people that don't like Pokemon.

Seems almost the opposite behavior from DS thread =P
