>>55870108As someone who deeply hates XY for many reasons, and was the first game that I had to force myself to beat, it will always get a pass because it took a huge leap to all pokemon of that time jumping to 3D, that is it.
XY criticisms:
~Burger king kids club "rivals" were so bland and underdeveloped besides the forced waifu bait.
~Megas being the gimmick is great, but 0 gen 6 could mega evolve (Diancie being technically one but was only a distribution event so by normal means in the base game, none)
~The game is so piss easy because the game just gives you a second starter, and free mega lucario because you looked at it...
~Because megas were so focused on and they were older generations only,the actual gen 6 mons are subpar mons or outright chaff trade evos and it bothers me.
~Because of the 3d, I believe everything was sacrificed, the story was less about you and more about fixing AZ's mistake, that talked a big game, but never delivered personally, just backstory, climax, and cliffhanger resolution battle with AZ...
~Zygarde and Z content being shafted into gen 7
~Fairy type just being a better psychic type
~Sky battles and the 3d models that suffered for years afterwards
~And finally the 3d models themselves, despite being a great thing that can futureproof a lot of the next installments, they failed to do anything with them for years and the games content DID NOT INCREASE with the time that should have been saved from the 3d models existence.
