>>58270751If I'm being completely honest, I can look at X and Y and say that a number of things that I dislike in this game did start with Black and White. For example, the Unova games definitely feel more cutscene dense and guided than a lot of the games that came previously, which is probably a result of having two Rivals.
That being said, I feel like Black/White and Black 2/White 2 would at least give me a reasonable challenge as the game progressed, which is why I look back on them fondly. In comparison, X and Y throw a bunch of extremely powerful Pokémon at you and never give the same treatment to the enemies. There are only, what, five characters that use Mega Evolution across the entire campaign? So while X and Y do have a lot of nice features that I can look back on and retroactively think "Oh yeah, the PSS was good. Oh yeah, I did like Wonder Trade. Oh yeah, the boutiques and such probably had better clothing choices here than in any other game." and more, the majority of my experience was just steamrolling everything and being kinda bored.
