Pokemon 2019 to be "completely new" game, to feature "many new Pokemon", and have "improved graphics over anything seen of the series so far".

Well yeah, it is kinda stating the obvious, but then again, considering the amount of people who went apeshit over Let's Go... XD
Mario Odyssey is definitely a more polished game than BOTW.
The reason BOTW wins for me though is that it's the first game in years where I feel like it's opening up new possibilities for gaming as a medium. It's what I dreamed games in the 2010s would be like when I was a kid; that you could interact with almost everything and that from this freedom endless opportunities for emergent gameplay would arise.
Odyssey is an absolutely brilliant game; it takes a proven formula, puts a clever spin on it, and refines it all to a celestial sheen. But the way BOTW weaves a multitude of interlocking elements into an organic and cohesive is for me the greater achievement.
Konami has another update in store for Super Bomberman R. Sometime in the future, the game will be adding an exclusive Switch character named Max.

BotW for sure is a greater achievement, but that doesn't make it necessarily a better game. It's like Ocarina of Time all over again - reinvetion, innovation, all that stuff, but given time it wasn't as amazing as it looked from initial impact. Personally, there's just some key things I really, really dislike about BotW, whereas I don't think I can find anything I dislike in Odyssey. Regardless, I guess I've always been one for more linear games than nonlinear, so this probably makes sense, as much as I don't want it to. |
Fair enough, it is after all a matter of personal preference.
For me, a game that fires my imagination and expands the horizons of the medium will nearly always beat out a game that executes an already proven formula really well.

Not sure about expanding the horizons of the medium, but I'm definitely one for games that fire up my imagination, and in that sense Odyssey really did it for me. Of course, it's a different kind of imagination - BotW would be more actually intellectual, Odyssey is just more of a sense of wonder and excitement. I felt like I was on a real adventure across the world, and that's a feeling I rarely got from BotW (whereas most other Zelda games had it in spades). |
I think they're different kinds of impressive: Odyssey is laser sharp and ultra polished, while Zelda is deep and multifaceted.
Just to throw a random tought, but I'm glad to see a lot of third party support for the Switch.
On othe topics, I've seen negative comments about Pokemon Let's Go around the web. That actually surprises me.
