Whatever your opinion may be, it's objectively this.
It was the first point in the entire franchise where they said, "yeah, we knew this is a thing, we knew you may have liked it, it was something fully in our minds during production, but fuck you we are going to be lazy"
XY was disappointing but I gave them the benefit of the doubt and fully believe that everything wrong with that could be attributed to them going full 3D for the first time.
Then oras came out, and we got to this. It was the marker saying they CAN do more but they just won't.
Then S/M was a tirefire and I dropped and didn't buy another game since.
