Odyssey is different from 3d World, Galaxy, etc and bigger than all of them
BOTW is grander than all previous Zeldas and adopted Zelda 1's design philosophy
Splatoon is different from every shooter, period, in both Gameplay, and objectives
Three Houses added so much new stuff, while improving and refining the series' gameplay
Smash added as much as they could, and keep adding more
Xenoblade 2 went in an entirely different direction than X, and both series have different focuses
Pokemon didn't reinvent itself, it didn't look at its past to pave it's way to the future, it didn't even substantially built from the 3ds entries and it's one big feature ('Open Area) has come with so many caveats and exceptions and compromises that it hurts more than it helps
Pokemon Is the same old franchise, same old game, but with less content than its contemporaries and shinier graphics (that are still shit for its time)
