>>29577717>As someone who loves Gen 5, this is actually very wrong. Apart from seasons and triple/rotations, literally everything in game is a continuation of gen 5 and it tries to ignore gen 6 as much as possible, beyond the EXP Share, PokeRide, Pokemon Refresh, and Customization. All things that have a place in the series but couldn't be done properly in XY. So far, we got:Gen 5 EXP Scaling
Go Ichinose compositions being an evolution of gen 5s style, including an abundance of vocals in the music tracks.

Further breaking of traditions and how storytelling should be done in Pokemon
Pokemon design is very reminiscent of Gen 5s, were as Gen 6 felt a bit more traditional in its approach and artstyle, were Alola is the next logical step in Unova design philosophy.
Call me a gamecuck, but seasons(despite being one of my favorite things)might be a bit too hard to implement now that the series has gone 3D, as the OW isn't as simple as say, something like Animal Crossing. Another thing, is that Unova is one of the most climate neutral regions, you can slap winter or fall, or summer all over it, but for climate inclined regions like Alola, which is tropical, it might beharder or a bit disjointed to represent Winter in it.
