This. Only /vp/ hates XY, everyone else either loves them or feels indifferent to them.

...I'll bite
>new unique battle types like inverse battles
Inverse? sure. Sky battles? heck no
>better anime
This has no relation to the games
>EVs were easier
Debatable/agree since pelago and bounce houses are a thing
>Battle Maison, flawed, but alright
The tree is almost literally the same aside from megas and z moves
>mega fucking evolutions most hype shit jn the franchise
And increased the power creep to crazy levels. Hell some pokemon didn't even need megas
>serena and shauna
The whiny rival and the inoffensive but boring other girl.
>the game being easier allowed me to beat the games faster to get straight to competitive
Not sure how this is a negative for sun and moon but alright
>lysandre had lots of potential
Key word. Had. We all know he was complete crap.

XY did some good, I agree. I love Megas.

But it fell flat when Z got chucked. If we had a Z then we'd be holding Kalos and Gen VI in general with higher regard. Instead they're like ALOLA, BITCHES

nah.
I'd count half of that as negatives even.
Lysandre, for example.
But you I wonder why you came here to post a statement.

Pandering to degenerates ruined SM. XY was better.

>pelago and bounce houses are a thing
pelago and bounce houses are extremely poor replacements for super training
pelago takes fucking forever and doesn't even unlock until you're a good part of the way into the game
bounce house courses are only available once per day and the best houses require a lot of grinding either to buy from plaza guests or to hope sophocles will give you appropriate RNG when you're high enough level

also, neither pelago or bounce houses have reset bags

Quoted By:

The only things SM did outright better than XY are graphics and characterization. Game balance for the single player adventure was a little better too, but personally it's still not balanced in the way I'd like it to be. On the other hand the overworld design and multiplayer features in SM are lacking in comparison. SM also committed the unprecedented sin of completely removing battle formats, which is a much bigger deal than the removals of side attractions in the past that people have complained about far more.

Overall though, they're both weak on the same level.

I don't know if this is bait or not but as a legitimate autist it is my job to refute most (not all but most)
>hordes were better
That zero framerate garbage was better than something that lets you chain for IVs and Shinies way easier?
>new unique battle types like inverse battles
Inverse battles were cool but basically nobody actually thought Sky Battles were novel
>leveling up has never been easier
Fair enough
>better anime
Debatable because the Sun and Moon anime has barely started
>EVs were easier
Fair enough
>Battle Maison, flawed, but alright
Battle Tree is arguably better
>friend safaris oh god please bring them back
Did people actually use these? In my opinion Island Scan is a lot better because Friend Safaris required you to get a shitload of friends and then half the time you would get a Safari you already had.
>rollar blades weren't that bad
Fair but I don't exactly miss them in SM
>mega fucking evolutions most hype shit jn the franchise
Agreed and I wish there were more in Sun and Moon, Z moves are cool yeah but I like Megas a lot more
>serena and shauna
The worst rival in the series and a boring waifubait noncharacter
>the game being easier allowed me to beat the games faster to get straight to competitive
Fuck you. Fuck you fuck you fuck you.
>cutscenes weren't intrusive
Fair enough.
>lysandre had lots of potential
And they squandered it.
>it had a bicycle
I played through all of Sun and Moon and never even noticed that there was no Bicycle until someone pointed it out a day or two later.

Hell no, the combination of Power items getting buffed and SOS battles doubling EV gain makes EV training faster and easier than ever before.
