About

"Too Much Water" is a quote from the IGN review of Pokemon Omega Ruby and Sapphire cited as one of the drawbacks of the gameplay experience.

Origin

On November 18th, 2014, IGN published its review of Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire for Nintendo 3DS by IGN, which praised the title's gorgeous CG details and post-game easter eggs, while listing the overabundance of HMs (hidden machines) and water as its cons. The game received a rating of 7.8 out of 10. Given the geographical setting of Omega Ruby and Sapphire in Hoenn, a fictional region consisting of many islands and waterways, the review's commentary on there being "too much water" instantly became a point of contention among the IGN members and fans of the game at large.

Spread

Within 24 hours of the publication, the article was met with more than 5,800 comments, the majority of which raised issues with the "too much water" remark. The article was subsequently linked to a variety of Pokemon gaming communities and video game forums, including three separate posts on Reddit's /r/3DS and /r/Pokemon, as well as GameFAQs, Bungie and 4chan's /vp/ (Pokemon) forums. The IGN review also prompted dozens of satirical posts on YouTube and Tumblr.
