I suppose I'll try to dignify your last few sentences. (Maybe we should do something else with our lives than go on serebii forums) As you know, game reviewers have to sit down and play through an entire game to then make their score. If they can start to finish a 60$ priced game in a few hours that's a problem. (Order 1886) Not including the amount of times you put any Pokemon game down because life called, that "ingame time" is inaccurate. If players can unintentionally speedrun a 60$ priced game, that's a problem. Gamers deserve good, quality content for their money. Devs did well if you were satisfied with the game for the price tag, but more content means everyone wins.
Since Bguy7 did a good job handling most of your post, I'm gonna handle the last of it:
1. I wasn't talking about game reviewers, and you know that.
2. But since you're on it, accredited outlets like IGN and Gamespot have game testers to play the games collectively, in order to get a review submitted by or within a week of the game's release. In other words, they're supposed to speed through it.
3. There is no way to 'unintentionally' speed through a game. If you finish it faster than expected because you wouldn't stop playing, that is your fault, not Game Freak's.
4. Guess what, bro? Sorry to break your heart, but no game is capable of pleasing everyone. Not every game is meant for everyone. Seriously, you and all the other manic naysayers need to cut the BS. This isn't about quality or merit. This is about you not getting what you want.
Pokémon has been on the back end of the development side of things compared to the rest of the industry for 20 years. I don't recall any of you putting up a stank like this in the past. Why? Because you got what you wanted. You're all full of it. You're just whining because things changed for a game that's aimed at a demographic other than you. Get over yourselves. You're not entitled to the Pokémon game of your choice, especially given you don't have to pay for it.
I know I said earlier that I would stop talking about these games, but I just can't help it. There's at least one more thing I want to bring up in response to the apologists. Why does it make sense to make the target audience of LGPE casuals and kids when most Switch owners are adults and hardcore gamers?
Do you ever actually do any research, or do you just talk?
