There were parts of Kalos I loved and parts I did not love.
What I loved:
>I unironically think all Kalos starters are great. Each one has a great design, typing, movepool, etc. I would put them as my second favorite behind genwun.
>The region aesthetically is really beautiful. Lots of variety with type (city vs rural) and season (snow vs desert).
>I thought the jump to 3D was done excellently from a design perspective.
>Introduction of Fairy type was a good move.
What I didn't like:
>Story was juvenile.
>There were way to many Pokemon in the regional dex making Kalos not feel unique (i.e. compare Kalos to Hoenn).
>Routes, while diverse, felt very short. It seemed GameFreak was more concerned with checking boxes than making a region (i.e. "Do we have a snow route?" Check "Do we have a desert route?" Check, etc.)
>Game was way to easy, even with turning off Experience Share.
This is my rankings of the 3DS games:
ORAS > XY >>> USUM > SM
I actually thought ORAS was close to as perfect as possible. It was a very faithful recreation of an already really strong title.
>inb4 too much water
