>>50224986agree, though bw2 had way less (Kanto) pandering and were still pretty good so it sucks to say lol
xy definitely started the trend of noticeably unfinished shit rushed out the door for merch purposes, though (even though arguably every gen since 3 has had issues with development and especially being rushed along, most of them still ended up being pretty good so they're not really bad because of it; worse off, definitely, but not bad)
