Famitsu don't know anything about anything.

They can say the same about you but their opinion carries weight and respect. 

I respect there opinion that Final Fantaxy XIII is a 39/40 game, and Final Fantasy XIII-2 is a 40/40 game... and Resident Evil 6 is 39/40....

Actually no, like many people I think their scores are wack and opinions have no weight at all.

Here's a thread discussing them, they are not respected: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/are-famitsu-review-scores-actually-respected-in-japan.1274515/

Kotaku even wrote an article saying not to trust their scores xD, not that I necessarily trust Kotaku either: https://kotaku.com/5520937/do-not-trust-this-magazines-review-scores

Yet their word is recognized and important so millions will stick with theirs

From other threads I see you're on a Pokemon Let's Go defend spree, and I ain't saying anything about the game, nor do I disagree with your original post, the only thing I disagree with is you chose Famitsu of all people to make your point, instead of any other reviewer who liked the game. xD

Ditch random encounters.
Keep battles for stronger pokemon than your level.

You are pissed that famitsu likes the games you hate, im pointing out this game is great and has over 80% ratings average worldwide so clearly you saying they know nothing about anything is false! Why wouldn't i point out to angry lets go haters how wrong they are about the game and their claims it deserves less than a 70/100 just because they hate kanto and no beating up wild pokemon

I've been playing a lot of Let's Go Pikachu and I really like the new mechanics. I even tried to play some sun this morning and after a few minutes I put it down because let's go encounters are better. The game is less of a grind and it's enjoyable this way. Also i'm actually trying to fill up my pokedex for the first time in a long time. I've seen people on twitter saying the same thing so i'm curious what yall think about this suggestion.

Yes yes yes for me! It is more enjoyable to fighting the same pokemon over and over. Or at least have an option to please everybody



Pocky Lover Boy!

You casuals can play Pokemon Go and Let's Go (lowest reviewed Pokemon RPG game). Leave the real Pokemon RPGs alone.

Famitsu gave it 37/40 im sure they know more than your blind hatred about quality rpg

You mean the same people who gave Nintendogs a 40/40?

Well it will take 3-5 years if you’re asking for a Breath if the Wild open world and over 800 Pokemon species in HD and 3D. I don’t think Game Freak works like that.

It would be worth the wait for sure. But yeah, Gamefreak doesn't work like that, you are right about that much. As I said before, they totally lack ambition. With the kind of sales Pokemon gets they could easily afford to be more ambitious and give these games a bigger budget, but instead they give us tiny little incremental upgrades and changes each gen. And as long as their tiny little incremental upgrades keep selling 10m+ copies each, they will probably never change and do something more ambitious, like a truly AAA open world Pokemon game like I want. 

You're right about Gamefreak lacking ambition.  They have more 10m+ sellers than all the Japanese AAA publishers (excluding Nintendo) combined in the last 40 years and they still have a full-time staff of under 150.

I like that there aren't any random encounters and the new catching mechanic, but I would rather have the new mechanic be optional. I prefer battling wild Pokemon.
