Did you have fun with XY when it was first released? I remember it fondly before Pokebank was out.

Yes, of course. It isn't perfect, but it's a fun game.

I enjoyed Y. Not a fan of all the Mega pandering and the Exp Share really did fuck me over.

Aside from that it was pretty good.

It's one of the few games where the graphical increase alone was enough to make it exciting.
The fact that new megas were still being found on the day of release was amazing too. ORAS was ridiculously disappointing in that aspect.

I stayed off /vp/ and serebii a couple weeks before the release to not get the pokedex spoiled then got upset that most of the new mons were already released by then and the ones that werent already shown looked like shit

This so much. X/Y still had that charm that it was a fresh instalment to the franchise with never seen content and mechanics that weren't entirely spoiled by GameFreak themselves. Gamefreak spoiled everything from ORAS while still having zero fresh post-content for players that just played the first gen 6 games. I feel ripped off as hell after buying ORAS while X/Y made me hyped for what the next Kalos game would be like.
The existence of ORAS made be think that the franchise is about to jump the shark in terms of quality.

>also big and comfy route, an exploration cave, a snowy route, another comfy route
>the end of the evil plot

Some spaces are really kind of empty. However, the problem overall was the difference between the first and the second gym being too big in comparison with others. Some of them were done really well with awesome details and stuff that made the game beautiful, actually. If you look to the other games it won't be that small, but most of them are incredibly forgettable (assuming I am talking just about the routes and caves).

That's an analysis from someone who already knows the region.
For someone discovering it, it truly becomes shit after Laverre

Took me about a month or two to finish after getting it opening day.
Wasn't hyped by the whole mega thing. I regret restarting my game...

I feel the same way about ORAS, though.

Took me four days to finish, myself. Chose Chespin, boxed Charmander for the X-ite.
Final team was Chesnaught, Pangoro, Aegislash, Slurpuff, Floatzel, and shockingly enough, Chatot.
I thought it was alright, myself. Too easy, but I gave myself a little challenge not using any Megas.

XY sucked, it had rorldride raunch hype behind it plus the new mechanics but the "Campaign" is the worst in the series. I believe this is actually objective and not just my opinion. It's promising up to about the 3rd gym then the pacing is terrible and it all falls apart.

I'm certain they mean that X/Y's cutscenes and lore were over-saturated with pontification about Mega Evolution;
as in, it appeared GF were so afraid people may not like it that they made most people and landmarks gush over how its greatest change to pokemon they've discovered.

Yeah no. Unova at least had a semi-decent plot/evil team, gym leaders/E4 with actual jobs, relevance and personality and the most content and post-game outside of HGSS.

Yeah, it was a fun time. /vp/ was full of hype, there was a mentality of working together because of the Friend Safari, similar to 2012 (B2/W2, Join Avenue, ect.)

There was actually stuff to discover Post-Game.

It also had suitable content, dare I say higher than average, for a first game of a new Generation.

So yeah, X/Y and /vp/ in 2013, was fun.

Too bad OR/AS was so shit, it caused the entire board too degenerate into /v/ 2.0.

It wasn't that different than most games anon, you just don't realize that because everything up to the second Gym was paced out so much better and adventurous than other Pokémon games.

If anything, OR/AS should have been the indicator that X/Y's pacing is just fine for a Pokémon game.

>mfw OR/AS actually teleports you straight fom the 4th Gym to the 5th, not even a single route between the Gyms
>mfw game is so brokenly easy that I beat both, back to back, with no problem
