Gen VI and VII are average at best. I have no idea what they're doing, but if they're planning on pulling out a third version with Kalos and Alola together to settle everything at once, or even just an Alola sequel, it better be damn good. I find there's other games that's got the whole collecting and training aspect better than Pokemon does right now, so I have those to play while I wait or even give it up.
What really killed S/M is the fact the game feels longer than it is due to Lillie being everywhere. Go boot up your game right now and see how long it takes you to get from point A to point B on Melemele. For me it was barely 10 minutes on Tauros. The cutscenes make the region seem bigger than it really is. The same can be said for Kalos. Even though it's got a lot of locations, a good chunk have nothing in them. I wouldn't mind if they lessened the Pokemon if they actually started trying to make all of them useful in some way, but this is GameFreak we're talking about. Unova and Sinnoh feel a lot bigger because you can shove a lot more 2D shit into something rather than 3D.
