Still, if I had to use a phrase to define the sixth generation, it would be "wasted potential," and Hoopa perfectly embodies that definition. Even the movie was a load of senseless fan service crap.
My love for the series began to wane with gen VII, in fact. After SM, I haven't touched an Ohmori game ever again.
Years later, I liked Arceus, a lot. Now I'm playing ZA and I have to say I don't dislike it, but I don't really love it either. The battle system is extremely clunky and inferior to Arceus so far.
The combat often sucks, and the controls seem worse than those of the first Tomb Raiders. The setting seems too "low scope" to me as well.
I'm not even halfway through the main game, though, so that's worth noting.
