The editors didn't like
Changes to the story only complicate an already lackluster plot
Adding yet another antagonist needlessly complicates the final act
Pokémon Research is dull

Why won't Rotom shut up
Hardtochange motion controls in Ultra Wormhole traveling
Old pacing issues feel slightly worse
Could've been less linear
Story gets off to a slow start

Issues with lag are present
Even on the New 3DS
Some slowdown during battles

Mini games are skill/timing based
Very few new Pokemon
Plot doesn't diverge until extremely late game
Weak storytelling
Legendaries are version exclusive and require beating mini games
Graphically held back by the 3DS
Significant nerfs to fishing and shiny hunting
You'll either love or hate the S.O.S. feature and Team Skull

Abstract: The Pokemon franchise celebrated its twentieth anniversary earlier this year and did so in a big way. Not only was Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow released on the 3DS Virtual Console, but special Red and Blue Collection boxes of the Trading Card Game were p...
Abstract: The massive popularity of 1996's Pokémon Red and Blue has cast a long shadow over the Pokémon series. Much of the fanbase believes in the superiority of the original 151 monsters, and given 2016's Pokémon Go phenomenon—which only had the initial cast—who...

Abstract: Whether you have already devoured some of the best JRPG games or are not very familiar with the genre, you cannot deny that the popularity of JRPGs is actually insane. Love them or loathe them, JRPGs (Japanese role-playing games) are extremely contentious...
