>>54573129X and Y give you better Pokémon, better ways to catch and train them, and better items earlier than most games before. You can catch and fully EV train Bagon before the second gym, they give you two mega's for free, practically gift you Snorlax and give you access to higher tier pokeballs early on. It doesn't help the gym leader ai is stupid. In my own recent X nuzlocke, both Ramos and Clemont had multiple opportunities to Grass Knot my Diggersby, who is prime OHKO bait. Baffling.
Before the disingenuous faggot replies, yes, Pokémon is an easy game series, and XY is even easier than most of the series.
