Pokemon Pokopia's review scores are in, and it's safe to say that we appear to be in for a treat – the upcoming cozy life sim spin-off was, for a few hours yesterday, the highest-rated Pokemon game of all time on Metacritic. It's now tied for the top spot instead, but fans have some questions about its competition.
With an average critic score of 88, Pokopia sits right at the top of The Pokemon Company's finest releases, according to Metacritic, alongside… Pokemon Y. Not X, just Y. That's a little weird in itself – what did the life-absorbing bird do to win an extra point above its majestic deer counterpart? But more than that, many are baffled that it's a Generation 6 game at the top of the chart above the likes of HeartGold and SoulSilver, Black 2 and White 2, Platinum, and Emerald.
