>>36866885>literally introduced a new form of pokemonEvery generation since 2 has added new forms of some kind, it's not spectacular or interesting by any stretch of the imagination.
>when its predecesor was attacked for not having other pokemon gen stars debutThe problem being that gens 6 and 7 went too far in the other direction making almost everything about Kanto to the point where the distribution of new pokemon was almost as bad as generation 2.
With that said, any other series would have been praised for doing what Gen 5 did for example, Breath of the Wild.

>maison>ChateauI could add something like PR videos and restaurants to XY but then I would have to add similar things to other generations like musicals, the trick house, game corner etc.
All in all XY is a terrible game.
