Not a single one of these games has won a single Game of the Year award in the past 10 years by any publication, even including minor publications. Why has Pokemon been paid dust by readers (gamers) and critics for a decade straight?

The game is marketed for kids, and follows the same formula each game, there's no real reason for it to win GOTY. It's not one of those over hyped standalone games that you seem to stan for.

Originally posted by coolcristobal ! It's a no-brainer, really. Putting the first two Pokemon games aside, Pokemon was never really critically acclaimed, and there's a reason for that. Doesn't change the fact that it still sells well, it's enjoyed by both adults and children, and it's one of the most iconic vg series of all time

Good for it...I guess?

Originally posted by TheGeoKing And yet Wii Sports has even won a GOTY award.

Wasn't Wii Sports a launch title for the Wii? Clearly they look for hyped & new games bringing something new for these awards, whereas with any Pokemon game you know what you are getting in to.

Stay pressed at the 2nd most successful game franchise of all time.

Didn't you open the exact same thread a week ago?

I LaWonder it too.

Originally posted by coolcristobal I mean...I'm assuming CoD hasn't won any GoTY this year too, correct? And how about last year? Has CoD won any GoTY awards last year?<---- (legit question)

Originally posted by !Blue! Didn't you open the exact same thread a week ago?

We both know why sis.

Originally posted by TheGeoKing That one was specific to 2013 only, but then after doing a bit of research I discovered the poor sis has yet to win a single one in the past decade.

I see. But i am glad that you as a Pokemon stan spend your time researching on such topics
