>>48063111You're not wrong.
>RSLeast amount of post-game, only rivaled by Gen 8.
You get a roaming legendary and the tower, that's it.
>FRLGShat all over Gen 1's legacy by imposing restrictions that weren't in place back then and squandering its potential as a true remake
>DPProbably one of the most blatantly unfinished games prior to Gen 7. Between them not even finalizing the tileset until so close to release, Fantina's gym being a placeholder, and it taking until Platinum to rectify those issues among others like the speed, they're just a mess and it's a shame BDSP is using it as a template.
>BWThe sole exception. BW are the most solid first versions we've gotten. Probably why they even warranted a sequel in the first place and it's a good thing Ninty actually stepped in to tell them that.
>XYIt could use a Z version, but it didn't really need one. It just needed Sun and Moon to be a proper expansion instead of a blank slate. With how much Alola is referenced in XY compared to any other future gen in a mainline title, it's just a shame Gen 7 ended up being a step backwards in every single way which only further hindered the opinion on XY. They're no masterpiece, but they didn't exactly "need" a third version.
