Pokemon refuses to change or adapt, and while that can be admirable in some ways, it makes everything too rigid and repetitive. X and Y were a breath of fresh air, not just for the Mega Evolution gimmick and Fairy types shaking everything up a little, but also in terms of characterization as the main character's posse weren't a bunch of elementary school children. It felt like they took a page out of the manga and took off the bubble wrap for a generation.
