>>53025571People who hate XY completely misunderstand the games. Kalos is not designed for a quick play through. You are supposed to take it in and enjoy the walk through the seasons:
Spring -> Summer -> Fall -> Winter
It has mini games for you to love your Pokémon and a daily rotation of clothing. It has wonder trade and the PSS. It subdivided the dex to make dex completion seem manageable to the average player. The Looker missions are for sure worth doing and will pull at your heartstrings.
