>>26599289>Three Pokemon per gym thing>Dumbed down region design with a shitty "central" city that's a bitch to navigate>Good game design substituted with an overly obtrusive story meant to keep the waifufags and the "cinematic experience" crowd in and the actual fans out>Free exp boosting items being thrown down your way>Useless side features that aren't fun to use/play at all (C-Gear, Dream World, Amie)The only difference between the two is that BW focused on pandering to genwunners through "replicating the feeling of RBY", i.e. bloating the dex with 150+ genwun rip-offs, while XY just straight up jerked off to the old fan favorites like Charizard and Mewtwo.
XY still wins in my book though since it at least managed to make the online playable.
