>>39042903>better than gen 6Nope. Gen 6 has:
>better region (Alola is the most barebones region yet)>better gimmick (Z-Moves are just more fucking cutscenes)>roller skatingand actually introduced good staples for the series such as:
>trainer customisation (something SM dropped the ball on)>PSS (LMAO at the shitty join avenue clone)>Amie (SM removed the minigames because fuck you)The few unique things SM actually did weren't actually that great.
>PokeRide makes it feel like even more of a guided tour (Sword and Shield replace this with something better)>the Trials are just watered down gyms>Ultra Beasts are literally just legendaries and have nothing unique about them outside of design and loreXY were pretty fucking shit, but SM managed to somehow make THAT look good.
All of this is completely beside the godawful cutscenes and shitty forced story.
