>>33357909this, if XY had maintained it's scenic pacing of gyms 1-3 throughout, it would have been GOAT. It felt like an enjoyable romp around the french countryside, then gyms 4 and 5 have maybe about five battles between them and their last one and the pacing has a stroke until it abruptly chokes on the team flare plot between the 7th and 8th gyms and the game grinds to a halt. It's a fucking shame the winter and autumn zones were so insane in their pacing, that shit could have been comfy as fuck.
Also had a lot of really shitty, unmemorable characters, and lackluster dungeons.
Sun and moon is all of these problems but somehow even worse by making it's slow ass pacing a construct of Hau and Lillie's ceaseless fucking prattle. I even like Lillie, but Jesus Christ, less is more.
