>>36764356XY just felt unfinished. Up to the third gym, the games are great. Then, the pacing gets all sorts of fucked up. There are many areas which are referred to in the games themselves but simply inaccessible (the power plant being the worst offender, being plot relevant, but also others such as the rhyhorn tracks, which you can even see a little bit of, Lumiose sewers and southern kalos). And let's not forget about zygarde, who was just tossed into a dungeon and basically forgotten until for some reason it's perfect forme could be accessed in Alola. Then there are other little details that could have been more polished. Diantha, for example. She does absolutely nothing and then she's suddenly the champion. No one seems to care that Malva was part of team flare. Eternal floette? Lol what's that.
I liked a lot of the things XY did. The PSS was great, the friend safari was fun, super training, hordes and the streamlined breeding made it so much easier to get into competitive. But still, XY felt full of holes
