I second the above.
The situation is fluid: there are a lot of people waiting on the edge of the pool, anxious to dive back in the moment the water gets a little bit cleaner, myself included.
I've read and watched at least a dozen reviews and the most complete ones mention some strong suit all the while not backing off from pointing out some glaring issues. Issues are under the microscope more than ever due to the combination of very poor (if not deceitful) communication, new conditions, and a general lack of ambition, and I think some of the reviews got the "hold to higher standards" point.
However, there is a problem with Day 1 reviews, even taking the non-objectivity of some away. Pokemon is a game you're supposed to enjoy for a good chunk of time and where player interaction plays a not fundamental but worth noting role. Most reviewers usually rush through the game with an incomplete experience to get their reviews out (it's competition pressure, understandable), which undermines "enjoy the ride", and they had no player interaction activity.
It's been a roller coaster, especially in the last couple of weeks, but we're finally here. Agreement, disagreements, I enjoyed the discussion much more than my long ass posts may show.
I trust the good judgment of people in here (game savants in one way or the other) and their honest critical thinking much more than any review or internet random player. I hope we can get some as spoiler free as much impressions in the next few days/weeks about how the final games look and feel, how much Dexit is felt (in regards to the game lifetime, too), and if they're truly an ambitious new step hampered by the timeline or, to the contrary, the start of an unfortunate decline toward the industry's most questionable practices.
I have an open mind and I think a lot of other people too. To anybody getting the games: have fun and let us know (if you will)!
