>>44795635XY is obviously unfinished but its huge pokedex + character customization makes it better than half the games in the series
Single battles suck and there's a reason why the JRPG genre dropped that kind of combat after Dragon Quest 1
EXP share isn't a problem in of itself; rather the games are so shallow they need sharp-ass level curves to present any challenge
Kanto pandering is fine; it's not actually for older fans but rather to get the younger fans hooked onto the original 151
The TCG type system is better than the games, especially now that Fairy got cut and Poison got folded into Dark
Smogon has its issues but they're ultimately making the best out of a fundamentally unbalanced game and do a better job than VGC
Dexit is a non-issue (SwSh is still pretty meh though, don't get me wrong)
