>>14388770It's not that I can't take criticism. I've taken plenty of criticism (liking Tepig, liking 5th Gen, supporting Smogon, etc.). It's that calling a generation lazy just because there are only about 70 Pokemon is just plain wrong.
Yes, Gamefreak dropped the ball in terms of new Pokemon this generation. However, they made up for that many times over by adding all of the stuff mentioned in my list and more. It's honest to god progress in a series many call stale - it's another step closer to that dream Pokemon game with a fully immersive world and dozens of Pokemon anyone can enjoy. But it is, in no way, lazy. If the game didn't have all that I listed, but did have 30 more Pokemon, then it wouldn't be a sequel. It'd be a goddamn expansion pack.
I can accept that there are features that people don't like, such as Mega Evolutions, the Fairy type, and only 70 Pokemon. But these things do not make a generation, as a whole, less-developed than any other. That is why I hate the people who would accept 30 more Pokemon and sacrifice actual progress. If they had their way, Pokemon really would be Japanese CoD. And nobody wants that.
TL;DR: If you dislike specific things in XY, that's fine. If you think XY were rushed or lazily made, go fuck yourself.
