>they keep talking about this big war but never explain what it was about or what it was like aside from the ultimate weaponWhy would they need to? What would this add to the story?

>legendaries do nothing in the plotLike literally every legendary before Gen 7, yes, I agree.
>most gym leaders are one-noteLike literally every Gym Leader in the series, yes I agree.

>most megas are postgame tooSo? The postgame is still the game.
>starters don’t get megasSo? Plenty of other Pokemon do get megas.
>Kanto pandering to the point that Santalune forest is a 1:1 clone of Viridian ForestSo?
>>we never even got Pokemon Z so all that deep loreWhat deep lore existed that XY didn't already explain?
