Pokemon X and Y is the Mass Effect 3 of the franchise. Let's recap and see what they have in common:
- A rushed storyline with plotholes so big you could drive a semi through them. Remember how much nonsense ME3's storyline was, especially the ending? Apply that to the climax of XY (HOLY SHIT TEAM FLARE ARE GENOCIDAL MANIACS AND THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL EVERYONE AND BECOME IMMORTALS ALSO AZ IS 3000 YEARS OLD AND HE BUILT THE NUKE FLARE'S USING) and you'd probably say the same thing, because it's just as cringe-inducing, rushed, and nonsensical.
- Monetization and pandering out the ass. Pokebank that you have to pay for (which is already showing us that it's not worth paying fucking $5 a year for) is already getting us in a fucking horrible direction, but that's just the beginning of it. Megas for already popular shit that break the metagame in half, all the genwunner pandering, the Fairy-type that doesn't balance shit and is completely competitively useless and is only meant to pander to the lil' chillunz and the filth that bronies are made out of. You'll notice the eerie similarities to the have-sex-with-everything-that-moves shit of ME3 that actual fucking gameplay was relegated to.
- Casualisation. This was one of the major complaints of ME3 in that it neutered the gameplay elements for pandering horseshit. Hey does that sound familiar? No, it sure doesn't. Pokemon wouldn't do shit like overlevel you 5 minutes into the game!!
- A game supported by a dying company that's supported by merchantry. Nintendo are quickly shaping up to be the Activision of Japan, as evidenced from the recent Pokebank scandal and all the paid DLC that they're growing to love so much *COUGHPMDCOUGHFIREEMBLEM*. In retrospect, they have to resort to dirty tricks like this because of how horrible their fall from grace is (wii u kek).
