>>22199771I loved the completely isolated Pokedex. If you don't do that you end up with shit generations like IV and VI.
Also there were just a lot of little things that made it feel way better than XY. The fact that they specifically said the characters were in their teens instead of 10 years old. All the implied LORE in all the different locations. The way everything felt just a bit more serious and mature. The region just felt like it had more integrity.
ORAS had a bit of that with Sea Mauville, Cozmo's backstory, "Wattson the Traitor", etc, but a lot of the Delta Episode was XY-level cringe material.
