24 hours later and holy shit lmao
IGN was the same publication that gave ORAS a 7.8 for "too much water" but looks past the apparent flaws in this game and gives it a 9.3, and people in the comments are mad that the chick in the video said that this was the "best pokemon game to date", which, even if you're in support of the dex cut, there's ZERO way that's true, in the same universe as Black and White, their sequels, and HGSS.
Yeah, although to be fair, people boil down the 'too much water' thing a bit too general - especially when if you actually read the article this is what's said:
"It’s not a new complaint, but Hoenn is still imbalanced type-wise, heavily favoring water. It’s especially noticeable in Alpha Sapphire, in which Team Aqua (the villains of the piece) use a lot of water types. It feels like there are water Pokémon in nearly every battle, and I have an overleveled Pikachu to show for it. You also have to navigate many bodies of water, since much of the late-game involves the HMs Surf and Dive to get from place to place. Diving was really neat back in 2002 when it was new, but I found it incredibly tedious in Alpha and Omega — an obvious example of how superfluous some HMs are."
Which if you ask me, is a fair critique in that regard - People just read the blurb without actually reading the article/review, and just assume the worst.
Like don't get me wrong, IGN has it's fair share of BS to it, but at the same time, I'm getting tired of people going to the 'too much water' card.
