What was the total score given by Famitsu’s four reviewers to Pokémon Pokopia?

The story behind the answer

Famitsu’s four reviewers gave Pokémon Pokopia a total score of 39 out of 40.

The score comes from Famitsu’s traditional four-reviewer format, in which each critic awards a mark out of 10. Three of the four reviewers gave Pokémon Pokopia a perfect 10, producing the combined total of 39 rather than 40.

This result reflects the game’s strong Japanese critical reception, particularly its combination of Pokémon characters, creative construction, exploration, and life-simulation systems. It should not be confused with an average review score from an online aggregator, which uses a different method.

Famitsu’s score also differs from sales statistics and from international review percentages. A 39 out of 40 is a single publication’s combined critic rating, not a worldwide player score or a number of units sold. The exact format explains why the answer is expressed out of 40.
