I hardly hear X and Y brought up nowadays, what do you guys think about it? The last good main game or when Pokémon began going downhill?

Start of the decline, people were just blind to it because we were coming off BW2 and though it was only shit because GF had to spent all the dev time making 3d models.

Both. Step down from BW but still acceptable. SM was the first unacceptably bad Pokémon game.

Fun game for a quick playthrough with some neat environments, the enemies and npcs actually use a decent variety of pokemon, but very disappointing in terms of anything else. Once you beat the gym leaders and e4 (all with 3 and 4 max team members respectively), there is nothing else to do besides breeding.

This, pretty much.
At the time it was fun, because the sense of community due to the boom of re-emerging players as well as the PSS being so good made the online experience really fucking great. Pre-bank competitive was an incredibly fun meta, trading was super fucking easy, and breeding was more laid-backed and streamlined.
But other than that, the game didn't have much going for it, and it started so much of the garbage that we saw in Gen 7 and are now seeing emerging in Gen 8. It's also just forgettable, and honestly I can't really pin down why. It's probably nust a lack of actual, uniform indentity.
X/Y felt super incomplete, and I can only assume they were going to attempt to fix that with a 3rd version, but either chose or were forced into making a new gen for the 20th anniversary.

X/Y suffer from extreme wasted potential. Of all the games to need a third version/sequel and not get one, of course it happened to these ones. Maybe it's just me, but almost none of the characters, environments, and music are memorable. I had a fucking blast opening week, but in any repeat playthrough I find myself incredibly bored and don't have a good time with it

I enjoyed it mainly because it was the first pokemon game I had ever gotten right when it released instead of just having to borrow old cartridges from friends. The idea that it was the first 3d pokemon game and the online community was booming at the time leaves a lot of happy memories although I do believe that is when the decline started in terms of design, starters, and post game. The only reason I played it for over 400 hours back then was because of miiverse and the vibrant battling meta/trading community, not anything in the story or game itself. The overall setting is lackluster and the characters are extremely weak, the only interesting story plot was the guy who lost his memory and the girl with the espurr.

tldr: decent and way weaker than its predecessors, signalling the decline of the good ol days

also game freak fucked the wifi system in oras and sm, what even is the festival plaza

It's literally the same shit as every other new generation game. You only think it's a decline because you became conditioned to judge games based on their lazy as fuck third version rehashes instead of the originals.

I played X and Y after not playing since Hoen and I gotta say, it was disappointing. Everything felt too easy, the lack of any challenge and mediocre story made it be a "meh" experience for me.

It looked pretty atleast.

I enjoyed it for what it was, X was my first time to complete regional pokedex thank to easy exp gains and good online. While XY's gameplay was better than gen 7, I still prefer gen 7's region and pokemon more. XY was forgettable to be honest, l since they did bad jobs with region, plot, majority of pokemon and characters.

These games were such a blast and also had the best hype season for me (after Gen 4).
Despite everyone on /vp/ throwing shit at it, these were the last mainline games I managed to play for over 100 hours, everything after that I couldn't play for over 30.

i have over 400 hours or so sunk into it solely because it's the game I enjoy using competitively and for shiny hunting the most. Also, I prefer the customization in it way more and like trying to buy all the clothes for some fucking reason.
Main story is kind of trash though so eh.

For all the shit the game gets I must say it's really fast compared to other titles. When the text is on the fastest setting you can plow through cutscenes in seconds.

Its one of the weaker Pokemon game, but its still a fine entry that's overblown in its "badness".

In an ironic sense, even though it has the most Pokemon in a regional dex, the poor pacing of the game and that you won't encounter a lot of them without going out of your way for them makes it fairly uneventful for multiple playthroughs.

i do give Gen 6 props for a load of the useful quality of life improvements.

Series low point. Some good designs but far too few Pokemon. Game was very very easy, with no memorable characters of story elements. The transition to 3d was bad, and many models look much worse than their sprites. I liked megas, and fairies are fine but sort of initially broken. Overall probably the weakest mainline games.

This is such a good way to describe them.
Easily the most rushed, slapped together campaign for a Pokemon game there is, but boy did they make a solid foundation.

shit single-player
kino multiplayer
most pokéfags are single-player retards so naturally they won't appreciate PSS and/or the other multiplayer changes. pre-pokébank was good.

It's not just you. It's the most forgetable game by a long shot. There's a reason hardly any zoomers even consider it their favorite. And that might be the same case for Alola but at least Alola was a lot more memorable, love it or hate it.

I think it's easily the best of the 1st edition Pokemon games in terms of mechanics and innovation. It had the best Regional Dex, online interface and training mechanics, all of which come together to make a really strong core experience for collecting and pvp. Pokemon amie brought our companions to life in a way that previous games never could, and along with customizable outfits made the whole thing feel more personalized. But this was also when Masuda started to dumb everything down for mobile/casual audiences, so the single player game is lacking. The games haven't aged very well visually either. I like a-lot of the aesthetic choices, like the way that the castles, palaces or similar setpieces are detailed. But the human models in the overworld are bad.
