That's actually a pretty amazing review considering its from IGN, who isn't the nicest with Pokemon games. I never understood why they seek out a story though, Matsuda has mentioned multiple times how they never focus too much on story development.
Their positive attitude is much better then the Little Pokemonsters have been. You girls have been a damn MESS during this leak. Jumping to rapid conclusions and making false assumptions about 70 or 90 new Pokemon just because we only had 55 after the fifth Gym.
In Pokemon D/P only about 48~ new Pokemon were found before the fifth Gym 
.Its normal for that many amount of Pokemon to be found. Girls, do your research before believing any type of rumors that come out. Unless there is photo proof then don't believe any rumors. You girls should be smited for all the chaos.
Then the dragging of the starters evolution, and some others. Chesnaught is giving me knight in shining armor teas, and looks like this big strong fighting machine that evolved from this adorable round thing. Delphox is giving me Hocus Pocus couture REALNESS, and looks like an actual witch you'd find in the forest. Greninja or whatever is the only flop design with losing its main appeal, which was his bubble scarf, even then its sleek design is wonderful.
The typing are all unique, and they actually have a concept with the staters, and you girls are calling them the worst in years? A damn MESS.
The six gen has given us some of the most organic, and interesting designs in the longest time. Just because something doesn't look like it was made by some twink living in California with flowers and rainbows doesn't mean it looks bad. This happens before every Gen, you girls see leaks and start jumping off the cliff, then when ya'll playing it the stanning starts.
Oh and no one has made a thread about Pokemon already selling over 1.3 Mil pre-order copies in Japan, and is already the fastest, and biggest selling 3DS game
