As a long-time RPG player, I view complaints like overabundance of the same enemy type/weakness and tedious traversal as serious problems.
And multiple times throughout the review, the reviewer actually mentions the original games and specifically how the mechanics, while not bothersome originally, don't mesh with modern game design philosophies and advancements.

Pokemon is extremely different to most RPGs. It is extremely hard to balance typing etc. as they need to think about levels of pokemon, species etc. Which all account for the overall difficulty of the game. Water Types are common because the early gyms are usually weak to water, and plus, as Hoenn is based a lot on water, People would need access to water types for surfing. Team Aqua is primarily based in a submarine, and it would make sense if they used water types. If they radically changed typing etc. then it would divert from the original idea of having a 3ds remake of the original games, and if this was the case, IGN would just say it isnt really a remake and perhaps give it an even worse score.

Edited by Hidefininja: 2/12/2015 3:05:41 AMSo a design problem gets forgiven because it's a remake? Why would that be? A problem with the base structure of a game shouldn't be forgiven with a remake. Your premise that altering the map would turn it into a sequel is a fallacy, as that would simply be another update to bring the game into the present and correct pre-existing design flaws. There's precedent for that. And there's precedent for remakes of games that don't age as well as we'd hoped. It's important to note that the review is an opinion, and you're welcome to disagree with any and every review ever. In fact, you should because you aren't exact same person as the reviewer and your opinions will differ. Reviews aren't the final say for how much you'll like the game. [i]You[/i] are. Worrying about one or two points is crazy. You liked the remakes, and that's awesome. So who gives a crap if one person's opinion doesn't jive with yours? Enjoy your games, and take reviews with a grain of salt. Use them as a guide for your moneymaking decisions, not a bible. [spoiler]7.8 is a really positive score. 5 is mediocre. On a scale of 1-10, 7.8 is seven-point-great.[/spoiler]
