The only thing I'll agree about is that Sun/Moon have been over-discussed here. When people say a game like Skyward Sword, MGSV, FF15, or more recently KH3 or Sekiro has had mixed GameFAQs reception, they don't (or at least shouldn't) mean mixed as in a near-even split of people who liked and disliked the game in question. In those cases, "mixed" means that most people still liked those games, but there's a sizeable, often vocal minority who didn't. On the other hand, Sword/Shield have had truly mixed reception here, as in a near-even split of people who liked and disliked them. It's hard not to know about the fanbase backlash, but that's clearly translated even past release, based on Sword's awful 3.00 average rating, while Shield is slightly better off at 3.18 - not to mention their terrible GotY showing. While the former could be affected by salty fans who haven't actually played the games, any such effect probably isn't major if Undertale's sterling 4.26 average rating on PC is anything to attest to. As such, I think it would be a mistake to take it for granted that such hated games aren't fodder in 2020 just because they're the newest installment of mainline Pokmon. --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do."
