I think that gen 6 and 7 will age poorly.
Ten years later and people still think highly of games such as Crystal, Emerald, Platinum, Black and White because they were packed with content and sprite based games looks nice no matter their age.
One can turn on an old game and spend a hundred hours just trying to beat everything.
While XY, ORAS and SM doesn't have any unique content. It gives no drive to just start a new file for the heck of it.
XY and ORAS had an awful difficulty curve, so challenge runs aren't fun on them. SM has an unholy amount of cutscenes, being forced to watch them again after you already know the "story" just kills the replay value.
While you often see the likes of HGSS selling for 70, 80$, I doubt gen 6 and 7 games will retain their value in two or three years.
