3D looked great, but played shit. Because while the world was made in 3D, it was designed in a way you would design a 2D one.
Shit characters and story. While it made the most sense up to that point, it was uninteresting. Generic. While the last games, BW, had a shittier story that failed at even the basic level by not making any sense and forcing the player to do retarded things, at least it had a stronger premise and comically high tension. XY didn't even give that. It was generic shit, thorough and thorough.
The characters, on the other hand, were not only uninteresting and generic, but also obnoxious. And shit looking. Besides Calem the rival and Emma, there was nothing of value there. I hated every single one of them.
The skates were the single worst thing you can imagine.
Level design was shit. Areas were hard to travel through and unnecessarily complicated. Like the route with stones jutting out. You were bumping and getting stopped every fucking second for no fucking reason. Some faggots will defend this, but those faggots don't know the first thing about level design, so ignore them.
All of that makes exploration not-fun, as you're forced into an awkward mix 2D level design 3D world. Training Pokemon and fighting not-fun, as you're hardly "Training", the game is doing it for you. And the story not-fun, being full of obnoxious characters with generic setting and story. That's why XY are called shit.
That said, I personally don't hate them. They introduced a lot fun things, even if they fucked up the fundamentals, fucked up the main appeal of Pokemon.
