The pokemin reviewer complained about a aesthetic choice that was suppose to tie in with rhe game's legendary pokemon and how the water can flood the entire country or have a drought so severe, it emptied the land. For the reviewer to make that comment as a serious negative made him lose all credibility.
You can say you don't like something, but even those who dislike something can find merit in it. If christgau can give radiohead an A on kid A while still giving them s***, makes me give them respect
What is he supposed to do if he legitimately enjoys the game less because of that? Should he nitpick the rest of the game until he's happy with the score? (like what fantano did with that one line on Desires) He's just one guy who played the game offering his experience with it. You shouldn't have given him any credibility in the first place.

It's true, I really don't care about the review too much, but it's a bad take cause it doesn't make sense to hate the fact there's so much water. Now, he can hate and dislike it, but was the water necessary for the plot? Pretty much,and what was the goal off team aqua and magma during the game ? And how it involved the lgendaries groudon and kyogre. Did the water stop him from travelling to certain areas? Or had annoying puzzles or padding you make him take more time than he needed? No, it was an insane nitpick that changed the grading from what could be positive, to something mediocre.
It's more of confusion on my end. Understand what was the game's point, and what the game was trying to achieve and did the gameplay supplement it or hinder the vision?
