>>35506391This is correct.
Both were real in-your-face with story, but XY at least had a basic “babby’s first RPG” plot it was working with instead of going full retard on “every game is a bunch of different dimensions & timelines & everyone is different versions of people you already met except probably Anabel”, it just feels so un-Pokemon and makes the cameos feel less cool & more confusing. It didn’t help that SM had significantly more cutscenes, significantly less region, and most importantly, significantly less things to do.
