>>34552573I don't understand this.
XY was their attempt to make another BW, it didn't work that well and the final villain was a mindless douchebag whose "Hoard all the life energy to become immortal" plan was shit-tier. His "everyone is selfish and shit" justifcation fell flat because that region had some really nice people. The region's atmosphere and ost was brilliant, tho.
SuMo was their attempt to make another BW, it didn't work that well because they went all-out on the meme teams, waifubait characters, and shitty plot. You couldn't go ten steps through a linear coridor disguised as a big city without bumping into another damn cutscene trigger, and in trying to make another "story-driven" game, they made you the supporting character that helps Lillie stand up to her mommy. Team Skull were unfunny forced memebait shitheads for the tumblrites, and Aether Foundation was obvious. USUM were cashgrabs made by their D-team, to try and salvage the wasted potential in SuMo. They failed, and would have been far more palatable as seven-dollar DLCs than full games.
If you like 1 game more than the other, just say so. You're allowed to have shit taste, just don't claim a bad game's better than a good one because you liked the bad game more.
