The day has finally arrived, as one of the longest-running rivalries in video game history takes an unexpected turn, with Digimon Story: Time Stranger reviewing better than Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.
While people may scoff at the quality of the later Pokemon games, it doesn’t change the fact that they’ve sold many millions of copies, and have had some highly acclaimed titles along the way. Pokemon Black & White is one of the few games to ever get a perfect score in Famitsu magazine, which is a feat that Digimon has never achieved.
The tides may be turning in Weregarurumon’s favour. The review embargo for Digimon Story: Time Stranger is up, and the scores are coming in. According to OpenCritic, Time Stranger’s Top Critic Average is 82, while Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s score on OpenCritic is 71.
Why Such A Big Divide In Digimon & Pokemon Review Scores?
It’s no secret that Pokemon Scarlet & Violet launched in a rough state, having some of the worst performance on the Nintendo Switch. While the game runs a lot better on the Switch 2, fans were still stuck with an ugly title that barely chugged along.
Meanwhile, the Time Stranger reviews describe it as a game full of love and care for the franchise, featuring a gorgeous world and an epic story. When was the last time anyone said that about Pokemon?
The big question now is how Time Stranger will hold up against Pokemon Legends: Z-A, which launches in two weeks. There’s a lot of positive buzz around the new adventure in Kalos, and it’s entirely possible that Time Stranger will swiftly be knocked down a few pegs. For the time being, however, Agumon got one over on Pikachu, and the Digital World is a bit more exciting than the Pokemon one.
