>>37608430>Wrong. It's a sequel, and is more of a completely new game than an enhanced version, with the only similarity being that the region is the same.It's both. Story-wise it was a direct sequel, but it also served as the enhanced version by adding a bunch of content that wasn't in the original iteration of Unova, like the others before it. It's only with the story that they went a different direction.
>And it never WILL get its enhanced version, so it will be used as the basis for comparison, since there is no better interpretation of its story that exists.But comparing the second Unova game to the one and only Kalos game makes no sense. They had two tries to add things like the PWT and Tower/Treehollow to B2/W2, whereas B/W1 was the first game and didn't have much, either.
Kalos only ever had X/Y, and only a year after B2/W2, so using that as the game to complain about Gamefreak's lack of effort is a waste of time. But they, again, had two tries with Alola, to make US/UM better than S/M, and they added almost nothing of significance.
Pokemon X/Y's flaws aren't what's wrong with Gamefreak. It's that they couldn't be bothered to give us Pokemon Z, rushed to OR/AS and made it worse than Emerald, then gave us the most half-assed enhanced version yet with US/UM. THAT is "what went wrong". Kalos fucking deserved better.
