SM and XY back to back have really driven home the idea that new Pokemon games are just gonna be more of the same shit--which is okay, but not exciting. The formula has settled in and become comfortable. I don't feel any need to turn the game on again after I beat the elite 4 any more, because I know in 2-3 years there will be another game more or less the same as the one I just beat. I have no reason to become any more attached to one than another.
