Division 8 Round 1: (3)Pokmon HeartGold / SoulSilver Version vs (14)Night in the Woods

(3)Pokemon HGSS - 19898 [81.96%]
(14)Night in the Woods - 4379 [18.04%]
Total Votes - 24277
Prediction Percentage - 91.81%

Some indie games looked okay in this contest. Most did not. Night in the Woods was one of the many, many happy-to-be-here low seed indie games that existed entirely to make the heavy hitter look good. Pokemon HGSS is one of the games I don't feel should have been allowed in this bracket at all, but now that it was here it was time to watch it work.

And work it did. Any doubt that this game wouldn't be a true proxy for Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal was put to bed immediately upon the game scoring an 82% blowout. I get that no one knows what Night in the Woods is, but that's still a very impressive start. It also put Skyrim on notice, because Skyrim had a crack in the armor. If you go into a match against Pokemon off of your A game, it's likely you lose. We already long since knew Pokemon would win the board vote in that eventual duel, but this match showed that it could go either way.

And no, NieR honks, that game never stood a chance. We'll get to that in round 3.
