>>15324148I certainly agree that X/Y was rushed but comparing it Sonic 2006 is just sheer hyperbole.
Sonic 2006's story was outright cringe-inducing with the constant interspecies romance, constant plot holes, motive-less villains, and time travel bullshit. X/Y's story at its worse was just "whatever". The game suffered from constant lag and was almost unplayable. X/Y just gets some framerate drops in 3D and a crash in a small part of a city which has now been patched. This shouldn't have been in the game to begin with, I agree, but that's miles better than 2006.
The other features of X/Y aren't really bad. Amie didn't seem rushed and it has its uses. Super Training was a letdown, I agree. Fairies were actually properly balanced. The typing is powerful but it's mostly on weak Pokemon.
Honestly, XY's flaws really just seem to be Gamefreak's standard practice of holding back on the first versions to make the third version that much better.
>>15324228>>15324309Sonic 2006 sold well and Sonic was not at all dying at the time.
>>15324361>Whole villainous team are all too stupid to realize they're being hypocritesBeing hypocritical doesn't mean someone's badly written. You don't need to look far to notice many people in real life being hypocritical as fuck. People are really good at rationalizing their actions. Plus, y'know, they're obviously based off PETA.
>N is a weak, pathetic excuse for a rival. GET IT THO HE'S DOING A NUZLOCKE BCUZ HE LOVES POKEMON XD that was too stupid to realize he was a puppet for Ghetisis. N was sheltered as fuck and loved his father, you can't exactly expect him to really catch on to being manipulated. He was a rival in a different sense of the term; while Gary was your rival merely in competition, N was your rival in ideology. Plus I thought the fact that he changed his team every time kept him fresh, compared to every other rival who don't really change their team besides adding more Pokemon.
