Generally no, but GameInformer uses them all the time.
Glad this game got good scores all around, can't wait to pick it up in 8 days! HYPE!
I thought the same. couldn't make it through the review without feeling nauseous
Wholeheartedly agree with this. The charm of the NPCs (and the pokemon!), the deep strategy of the battles, and the collecting element are all reason enough to love it.
I bought colliseum and stadium games not because they were great games ( they were great games) but because i originally wanted some 3D pokemon action, but now that its in the mobile games and theres no weird bodyblock in order to play a 3D pokemon game ( such as only being able to catch closed heart pokemon etc) there on their way to giving nearly everyone who grew up on the series what they have wanted all along.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???

Hope the multiplayer is really great considering I can actually use my 3DS with Wifi. The bane of all Pokemon games have been post-game.

Wait...about what? ABOUT WHAT? D:

But seriously, the number of Pokemon WILL look less regardless of amount when Gen V is 156. 80 is actually pretty expected for an even gen.
I still don't trust the post game though - it's the only review that mentions it while the other seems to imply it exists.

Dunno what to make of that, hope it's good.
Which review is it? Probably is also the most thorough.

Gah, I wish you could just confirm or deny if there's a Battle Tower. That and online multiplayer are all the post-game content I need, really. Dang you embargo!

How many new pokemon are supposed to be in this iteration? Are they keeping all previous as well?
That sucks.
I hope this one would bet HGSS in term of post game content, but I think it wouldn't :/
Hoping for the return of Pokemon World Championship this early seems too high for a wish.

Oh I missed the part where you said low new Pokemon count. Oh well. I guess Mega Evolutions in a way make up for that.
Were reviewers able to change seasons to see if there are any seasonal Pokemon?

Uh, isn't post-game usually just hunting legendaries, filling out the Pokedex and grinding your team?
I know G/S had a whole extra region to explore, but is that the standard or the exception?

So why are people disappointed then?
Battle Tower, new places to explore, extra story bits, and another battle facility sometimes.
:lol
Good God, at least its not human-made food.
You guys assumed more things than those two features (or lack thereof) specifically! I'm not saying that's what's spot on!
All I can say is that I write my reviews from the perspective of a /vp/-going seasoned Pokémon fan and what I say about these games are things I take very seriously. Take that as you will. Though, I did not specifically mention the things you guys did, so I just want to put it out there that these are your words not mine. Anything you say is an interpretation!

I'll mostly be playing offline but its nice to hear about the online improvements and the ability to cast these online buffs on yourself.
I'm not sure I'm too hot about the whole "embargoes up; you can put reviews out. but you can't mention facts x y or z until release date" (I know it is nothing new as I read that Kotaku article with the whole can not mention specifics on Kid Icarus weapons). I can see that being a reason for some institutions to wait on the review until release date

The key chain Pokemon looks fine tbh

It depends on the Pokemon title. Black/White 2 had the Pokemon World Tournament, rematch against some trainers (notably your rival, N, and all the people in the stadiums), though it lacked the rematch against gym leaders that HG/SS had, on top of the Pokédex filling and legendary hunting (and there were not so many legendaries in BW2). The Join Avenue was a wonderful feature too for pokemon-training.
:lol
*grumbles* It looks FINE
Man, the way they handled 3D in this game sounds utterly disappointing. :\

Gotta love the reviewers who are incapable of articulating why they give games low scores. Calling the game "incomplete" because it introduces fewer new Pokémon is such poppycock. Is 750 not good enough for you? If anything, I want Game Freak to slow down and spend more time polishing the current Pokémon so kids growing up ten years from now aren't forced to memorize over 1000 different names.
I don't know...Gen 2 was 100, Gen 4 was about 80 (in DP, 100 in platinum) and personally gen 4 is my least favorite because of the lack of new guys

It is. And it feels like a more proper Sableye
Most of DP and GSC were baby and followed evos. So far it seems all mons are new barring Sylveon.
Yeah, that's definitely true, I think my biggest problem with Gen 4 was the new mons were pretty boring overall, so new mons that look cool plus less evos of past pokemon should definitely help

The limited post-game stuff worries me. I pretty much 100% White and White 2. All movies, all subways, living Pokedex, all trainers, etc. Took me a couple hundred hours to do everything and I honestly enjoyed it all. Oh well, the 3DS does have patching and DLC for games so hopefully the have plans to add more content.
Guaranteed day 1 anyways thanks to $30 eShop credit. Will happily shell out $40 when the third Gen 6 game(s) come(s) out.

Little Post game is forgiveable if the campaign is jam packed
BW Battle Train lack of variety. PWT is probably one of the best form of battle tower. Not only it have variation of battling, it also let you battle against Gym Leader from across the regions.
