Burned by being deliberately quick productions. The embellishments and additions are mostly good and they in tandem with XY's bottom screen gave us a killer bottom screen, but ultimately the games are both too easy and don't have nearly enough post-story meat to get the most out of them, and axing 97~% of Emerald was simply bad. They are still all right or doomed to be weak by virtue of their source material, wherever you fall there, but Soaring and DexNav aside (like them both) they broke the precedent of extra details and battles began by Emerald in favor of using Hoenn's skeleton to flesh out XY's nothing.
