>i agree black and white yada yada yadayeah yeah yeah
but Team Flare was pretty lame and your friends were annoying. cheren and bianca were more endearing in five minutes than those three buffoons were in three hours. all it took was for you to step out onto route 1 together with them and it was good from then on out. they have their moments though, the fireworks scene is cool and finding furfrou with shauna, while annoying (because of furfrou) was cute. it was a nice call back to GSC with new monsters and a new area. the last thing you'd expect them to pay reference to, really.
I know somebody is going to be like
>BUT WHAT ABOUT WHEN yada yada yadaBut being interrupted by Tierno, Trevor, and Shauna was the first time I had felt, through many years and many different Pokemon games, very annoyed by the supporting cast. I couldn't wait for them to go away. How much of that is their fault and how much of that is the lackluster narrative is up in the air.
anyway yeah the story sucked too. the worldbuilding was cool, AZ is cool, Xerneas and Yveltal are cool, and the ultimate weapon is cool, but the flow of events and the characters are all lame and don't really pop off as well as they could. It feels like it's not quite where it could be. Maybe even not quite where it wants to be. Malva is another cool thing that doesn't go anywhere. She's one of the few things about Flare worth admiring, because otherwise they just suck. I know the Grunts in every mainline Team are circus clowns but Flare is reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally fucking lame.
anyways people wanted more out of XY but it's not like they're aggressively bad experiences so I doubt people "hate" them but then again this is is a bait thread so w/e
