>>48908426>More pokemon that aren't shit,XY has all the Pokemon BW has plus more, so this argument doesn't even work.
>fresh experience with only new monsSo XY suddenly becomes better than BW if I haven't played a Pokemon game before and it has 450 new Pokemon from my point of view instead of just 150? This standard is clumsy and entirely subjective.
>not being a theme park region that takes real-world places, simplifies them, and adds pokemon without any locational diversityBW does this though.
>the objectively more difficult main campaignIs it more difficult? I couldn't tell because both games involve 1HKOing every NPC with overleveled Pokemon.
>the objectively better story and plot in the main gameIs it objectively better? Both stories involve shitting on cartoonish villains that the game tries to pretend is a threat but actually isn't.
>the objectively better optional backtrack and sidetrack exploration in the main gameProve it.
>the objectively larger selection of postgame areasHow does an area being postgame make it higher quality?
>and the objectively better postgame storyProve it.
