>>30599071>easiest game in the seriesI will agree with this, but only because everyone was a fucking idiot by keeping their EXP All on, not knowing it would ruin the game. I turned it off for ORAS both times and struggled a tiny bit. I'm not sure how others feel if they turned it off for XY.
>literally NO post-gameI find it had little post game, but a lot of the games did. XY had Zygarde, Kiloude City with Battle Maison and Friend Safari, and Looker's mission with Emma. That's all that I can come up with for now. ORAS had, Battle Frontier, with rehashed Battle Maison, and Delta Episode. Much more than RS with just Lati's and Rayquaza, but Emerald probably had more with how much bigger Battle Frontier was. I'd honestly consider everything after the Primal Beasts Post-game because that opens up so many legendaries to catch.
>smallest amount of new pokemon in the seriesThis is a legitimate complaint, but after seeing how GF doesn't want to reach 1000 so soon, it doesn't bother me so much. SM released a small amount too, but that amount had a lot of single/double staged evolutions.
>megas and fairies fucked the meta beyond beliefFairies not so much, Megas yes.
>your rivals and friends are incredibly bland as is the story itselfI found the rival/friends personalities okay, annoying at times though. May was better than her RSE counterpart.
>Kalos is wholly bland alsoKalos was a great region to explore. The Seasonal routes are amazing-looking, but are fucking weird to exist all around the same time and next to each other. The routes had issues of being mostly straight though.
>What's worse is that we never got a Z version to expand on XY and we're just left with an incredibly rushed and uninteresting game. There's loads of evidence of unfinished and cut content (the desert) and characters that need to be fleshed out but never were (Malva being in Plasma), etc.Here's hoping Stars or some future game expands on it. We still don't know why Zygarde is in Alola...
