>>47416743I loved XY, but come on now anon. Two sticking points in particular:
>animationYou know it was never about animation, it was always about posing. Battle animations in XY are objectively better, but they're stilted as fuck. And most of what you post in your image is from fucking Amie, one of the myriad of "use once and forget about it" tertiary features in this franchise.
>battle facilityThe bulk of Maison's teams and sets were straight up lifted from the Battle Subway.
Again, I loved XY, but goddamn these two points are fucking stupid. Anyways, the decline objectively began with gen VI, but it was less XY and more ORAS. Reminder that it was a huge step back in what Pokemon remakes were and it's only gotten worse from there.
