Is there anyone who didn't enjoy Gen V who like X and Y?

I didn't particularly enjoy Gen V, I didn't like the designs and various other things (and I'm still fucking irritated about the loss of the VS Seeker which I feel gave the world a sense of progression).

Black and White 2 were pretty big improvements though. Still didn't like them as much as Platinum but they didn't annoy me as much.

I'm not looking for a discussion over whether Gen V was good or not but I am wondering whether X and Y does enough to impress those disappointed by black and white.

I have a friend that hated Black and white and the sequels. He's put in over 80 hours on X and Y already, though. And he hasn't even been progressing the story any.

What has he been doing if he hasn't been progressing in the story for 80 hours?

Also is there a difference between storylines between X and Y? I remember people were vaguely talking about this shortly after they came out.

Cool, that's basically what I want to hear.

What makes them better?

aesthetically more pleasing is a big one.

Nope, gotta say X/Y is a downgrade. Limiting the main playthrough to the 150+ new pokemon was a brilliant idea that should have been continued, but instead, we get a chicken-shit spattering of new pokes flooded by the same-old, same-old... and mega-shit, which possibly usurped Gen IV's post-gen evos for worst designed pokemon of all time, while also unbalancing the metagame. At least for gen 5, for every ice cream cone there was a Krookodile, Mienshao, and Reuniclus.

I'm experiencing an odd phenomena.

5th gen left a terrible taste in my mouth. I couldn't even bring myself to finish Black 2. So many little things, and a few big things irked me so hard I had to stop.

I'm really enjoying X/Y but it's so obvious to me that it is inferior to 5th gen. I don't care for the mons too much, the region doesn't appeal to much, and the game feels incredibly lacking. Yet, I find myself able to sink more time into than I was in 5th gen.

He's literally been catching pokemon, playing pokemon amie and super training. And he's having a fucking blast with that shit. He does a lot of competitive battling with the team he's put together and a lot of trading and breeding for trades, too.

I don't especially like the mega evolutions but I actually do like a fair amount of the new pokemon. It's just a bit annoying that there aren't many.

It also seems like it's a trend that's going to continue, Gen VII is probably going to have a tonne of megas and not very new pokemon but I digress.

>>15074637
The region can't possibly be worse than the big circle that was Unova. In what way does it otherwise feel lacking?

B2/W2 had the same effect on me, but why B/W? I enjoyed those games more than any other. What irked you about B/W?

I think they would have been better just giving out the Mega forms as regular evolutions, especially considering a lot of the pokemon with Mega forms were in need of a decent Evolution.
As for the new pokemon, they just added too many previous gen pokemon. Why would you use any of these new pokemon you have no idea about when you can choose favorites from previous Gens?

but at least Unova actually had a few towns after the E4 to visit.

I can honestly say that I heavily disliked Gen V from start to finish. It bugged be because I liked a lot of the Pokemon, but the game as a whole just irked me. It didn't feel like a Pokemon game. I hated the legendary overload (Victini is one of my favorite Pokemon, funnily enough). Really didn't like the story, either.

However, aside from about 90% of the mega evolutions, easier shiny rates, and Pokemon Amie, I'm really liking X. It's a bit easy, but it's easier in ways of convenience. I don't feel like I'm having the game handed to me. It still doesn't feel as well put together as HG/SS, but those games set the bar REALLY high. I'd give it a 7.5/10, while Gen V as a whole gets a 4/10 for me.

I'm pretty sure the legendary overload started in Gen IV.

I quite liked HG/SS but my problem with Gen V was that it took so much shit out. VS Seeker was gone with no similar alternative, always run button was gone too and the frontier was gone.

PWT helped a bit but I want the fucking VS Seeker back.

Hated BW despite loving most of the Gen V Pokemon. I liked BW2 though. Loved X and Y though I feel like there's quite a few things that could be fixed with a third version.
