>>12143382Thats fair. I do disagree with you on some points, such as the Original Series quality, but will concede thats often a matter of personal preference.
I havent seen enough of Black and White to comment on it. I like the sound of the mid series minor league tourneys a lot, and the supporting cast in general seems good (Bianca, Georgia, Stephan etc) but Iris and to a lesser degree Cilan piss me off intently, to say nothing of Ash's reverting to a complete idiot novice. It seems like they wasted some good characters like Alder, too.
Lets face it, none of the series are top tier, you're going to be picking and choosing the good bits from any of them sadly.
