I dont see why they would even rate any of the 'new' pokemons. Arent they the same since...the first pokemon game?

You can't spell ignorance without IGN.

OP, why would you even bother?

Why do they rate CoD every year then?

The game mechanics change (sometimes drastically, like the gen 2 specA/specD split, gen4 special/physical revamp, and now the gen6 mega evolutions) and the new rosters keep the metagame fresh and different between generations.

Also I don't like lots of HMs I don't want to waste move slots

Graphical update? sure.
Any changes to the core gameplay?

That's like saying halo hasn't changed from CE to 5. New pokemon types, introduction of new stats, new games changing moves and move types, mega evolutions, the world is 3D rather than 2D, double battles, triple battles, rotation battles, new items, not to mention every new set of pokemon completely changes the metagame... I'm sure I'm missing tons

To be fair Blops 2 is the best COD in a long time, but then again, they rate all the other ones the same.

I don't understand why everyone gives IGN so much flack? For one thing at this point IGN has no credibility when it comes to games reviews. Plus the fact that these games are given lower scores is merely differing opinions between reviewers. If I want good reviews I'll go to Polygon or PC Gamer or watch Angry Joe's reviews. There's really no point getting sour over a journalistic group that no one respects any more.

Seriously tho, ignoring review scores (which you should be ignoring anyway) I feel like IGN has been on the up-and-up lately. I go there mostly for their Podcast Beyond, but they've been steadily improving in other areas.

Recently they've:
-updated their disclosure and code of ethics policy
-ran a questionnaire on how their users would prefer ads on the site
-posted an actually balanced and well written letter-from-the-editor on the topic of harassment and journalistic ethics.
-and most recently pulled some footage of DA:I PC when it was pointed out to be misrepresenting the graphics.
All in a very transparent and open manner.

While a lot of their review scores are legitimately garbage, I feel like they get more of a bad rap than they deserve sometimes.

I like the beyond crew. I'll probably still go there for them but stop bothering with their reviews.
