Now that it's been established we're all pretty much universally disappointed with this Gen, let's rank what the next entry would have to be to make us actually buy it. I'll start:

"No thanks" tier
> Z
> Delta Emerald

"Wait, why?" Tier
> X2 / Y2

"Wait that might be cool" Tier
> Ruby 2 / Sapphire 2
> (Original timeline, contemporaneous with XY, Mega Evo's are just being discovered)

"YES GODDAMMIT" Tier
> Fucking content patches for their existing games like they should be doing
