>>40494674I only played the sprites gens before SM till earlier this year I got Citra, so let me give you my opinion.
I loved the advancement of multi-use TMs. I loved HMs being done for and riding Pokémon as an alternative.
I loved the visuals. I loved the exp. share option, making it easier to raise weak Pokémon or shit like Larvesta. I loved the inovation of trials instead of gyms, but I didn't like the trials themselves. I did not like the rotom power shit, mega evos, ultra beasts, the story in general (cutscenes in Pokémon games are an abomination in my opinion and yes I'm a gen 1-3 purist). There's so much good new shit the only things I don't like is how it tries to be a "real" RPG instead of Pokémon. I loved the little girl who's Lusamine's daughter, forgot her name, and the tanned kid. I genuinely liked the game.
On the other hand I thought X/Y was garbage. Holy shit, that game felt bare bones. What the fuck? No post-game as well. What went wrong there? The difference between S/M and X/Y is day and night.
