>>54557367>nahi hate these games.
unfinished Flare questline, unfinished character development. Too many handouts (2 starters and a torchic and a lucario wtf) unfinished areas.
subjective reasons; the colors are washed out and the 3d models are less expressive than sprites to me. I also hate mega evolutions. If you like them I'm sorry but I disagree.
there are pros tho, In an alternate timeline they were redeemed by a Z version, the way Diamond and Pearl were redeemed by Platinum. I like Clauncher and Tyrunt a lot. there are others, but those two alone put the dex designs above gens 7 and 9 for me. This game felt like too much of a departure in tone. Like I just can't imagine Kalos existing alongside 90s Kanto in the same universe. I'm glad they had the decency to set it up as an alternate timeline but as the yeas go on and all the timelines blur Its just hard to get immersed in the pokemon universe or lore in the setting from X&Y on
if this sounds like an autistic rant its because it probably is. Someone out there is gonna know what I mean though. gen 6 is where my brain had to start compartmentalizing in order to continue enjoying the "series", whereas everything before fits nicely.
>pic related is designs that work and fit in the old setting imo
