>>16127295i do remember having fun with y the couple times i played it, but i always remember it being barren like you say. both gen5 games are the only pokemon games i really enjoy and can replay but the prior games are clearly made with more care than those that came after. that said i still had fun with oras on release, maybe just because it felt more polished than xy to me. i havent touched a pokemon game since 2016 or so though so its probably all rose tinted memories
