>>33245843Im so done with Kanto pandering and i've been starting with Blue) but if i had to choose
XY pandering > SM pandering
XY is less offensive, sure you have Snorlax on the road but its a parrt of new storyline, Santalune forrest is a copy of Viridian forrest but once again it feels very different. Kanto starters are neat addition, megas werent just Kanto and Kanto legends are post game legends, like any other gen
On the other hand SM just constantly mentions Kanto, seveal times on each island, Alola forms are just Kanto, "nugget bridge" use the exact same lines and mons as Kanto games. Only Red and Blue battles are cool. All the constant talk about Kanto is very annoying
