Pokémon Pokopia (88 OpenCritic) (89 MetaCritic) Closest Predictor (-7): @Shtinamin_. Much to the surprise of many, Omega Force’s Pokémon Pokopia debuts as not only the highest-rated game of the year, but also the highest-rated Pokémon title of all time!! Launching with an impressive 88 aggregate on OpenCritic, Pokémon Pokopia overperforms the OpenCritic league average by a staggering 12 points. This marks Nintendo’s second release of the year to dramatically outperform its series’ historical standards, with Mario Tennis Fever having scored higher than any Mario sports title on home console in nearly two decades. |
Genuinely shocked that this was as well received as it has. In fairness, pokemon fans have been starved from console spin-offs, the GBA-DS days had tons of those, the Switch had relatively few.
Also, it should have released on the original Switch, this doesn't look like it needs next-gen hardware.
