The Pokémon Winds & Waves reveal trailer is receiving a lot of positive reactions, but there's one classic complaint still splashing around in the community: There's still just too much water.
Of course, this comment isn't being made seriously—in a game called Pokémon Waves, some amount of water is admittedly a necessity. The two titles actually look like they'll expand exploration to beneath the waves, fully submerging players for a new look at the marine wildlife of the Pokémon world.
The fan reaction is instead a callback to an often-memed IGN review from 2014 that made a fateful remark still remembered to this day.
In 2014, an IGN review for Pokémon Alpha Sapphire rated the game 7.8/10. One of the cons listed for the title was the now-iconic comment: "Too much water."
The simple statement left such a long-lasting impact on the community, that the top comment on the official Pokémon YouTube channel upload of the trailer is: "The “too much water” guy from IGN just fell to his knees at my local Walmart." The comment, left by YouTube user fenvendead1391, has over 25K likes.
The original reviewer's complaint of "too much water" wasn't a statement...
