>>39545575Absolutely fucking no. For all of its issues XY signified some big leaps for the games, such as change to 3D (which sucks but still), INCREDIBLY improved online, much simplified breeding, customization for the character, and megas which as a concept are great. I think that down history they'll be remembered more fondly for all the things they brought to the table.
ORAS is even better by having all of the above (except for clothing) + stuff like dexnavi, soaring, and secret bases which work much better with the improved online infrastructure.
In general gen 6 was quite solid, its only objective flaws are mostly related to the atrocious campaigns and the power creep if you are into competitive (and the implementation of fairy type for that matter).
The only contribution gen7 made to the battle system, other than some retarded nerfs, is a gimmick that I honestly never bothered learning to use especially because the online shat the bed in an impressive way that I never felt like bothering with it. The only good features I remember are the total removal of HMs and the islands.
Totems were a great idea, but only a couple of them offered an actual challenge.
But having the same fucking mansion as in XY for the third time in a row is unexcusable. This plus the terrible online system made me drop the game as soon as the campaign finished, which any other game in the franchise didn't.
Don't tell me anything about USUM because I completely skipped those.
