>>36695205>Was it really that bad?No. It was amazing when it came out (when models felt fresh, trading for Vivillons was a thing and Friend Safaris forced people to interact) and it's still a very fun game. Looks nice, sounds phenomenal and the gameplay is good.
>Would a Z version fix it what you think is wrong with it?Of course. XY have still few visible issues that could be easily fixed.
>characters and storylineLess time spent on protagonist's friends (e.g. no fireworks with Shauna in Parfum Palace). More time spent on AZ, Dexio and Sina (especially AZ). Lysandre and Team Flare need a little more prominence in the game as well.
>regionA train carrying you between Couriway, Kiloude and Lumiose would be cool. Kiloude could act like a Fight Area in DPP (a starting point, with a battle facility, connected to different routes). Lumiose needs in-game map (maybe handed over by Sycamore). More Kalos Pokemon, less mega evolutions.
>gameplayCamera should be be zoomed out a little (like in ORAS). At least one more side activity (like Pokeathlon, Contests, Secret Bases etc.).
