>>22993520>Routes that don't transition wellFirst half or so of the game managed to have good geographical flow. I greatly enjoyed that area of Kalos, and I'll admit that freely, but the second half of the game is an utter abortion where it transitions from a swampland, to infinite autumn, icy wonderland, then some sort of awkward Valley, followed by... more swampland. It's so hodgepodge and awkward to go through that the entire second half of the game feels like a fever dream in an attempt to cram everything in too small a space.
>confusing central cityIf you were honestly confused by castelia, you might be legitimately retarded.
>bad friends/rivals (inb4 that's an opinion, find me one person who thinks these characters were good)Many, many, many people will defend Cheren and Bianca's characters. Even if you hate them personally, you cannot deny there is a visible effort to give them definite story arcs. X&Y rivals on the other hand, are walking troupes with no real personalities.
