“With the new Pokémon, Nintendo achieved a rare feat among all video game companies: scoring two blockbusters in a difficult 2022 for the industry.”

Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet games for Nintendo Switch crossed 10 million units in the first three days since their launch on Nov 18. This is despite the fact that Pokémon Scarlet and Violet had the lowest user scores in the series’ history on Metacritic.

Both Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet are different as they are open-world games, which means players can explore new environments without completing missions.Video games have taken a back seat as the economy recovers and people are not stuck at home anymore with the Covid lockdowns. “Sure, Pokémon is almost always a safe bet, but the new title has exceeded expectations, just like Splatoon 3 did earlier this year.”

There's always 2 sides to a story...unfortunately, the one that started ranting first always were given the benefits of doubts and assume right than the party being accused. Basically the web service provider should just allow Reviews and Counter-Reviews and not let customers to just have 1-sided ratings affixed there.
