weak in a lot of areas but having the best multiplayer in the series (besides ORAS ig) made it one of my best experiences with pokemon.

I honestly loved how long it takes between the first and second gym, that part really felt like I was going on a journey. After that unfortunately everything turned quite rushed and forgettable.

Pre-bank XY was kino and the victory lap of the franchise before it turned to shit forever.
Its faults were sort of glossed over due to the leap to 3D but we didn't know what'd follow.

It feels the most unfinished out of all the first versions. Your rivals are really half-baked, the game's pacing is absolutely bizarre, and there's several loose ends and unexplained stuff. It's a little weird looking back on this and thinking this was gonna be peak Kanto pandering, but it's only gotten worse. Mega evolutions were a mistake and Sw/Sh removing them is the one of the few good things you can say about them.

Solid enough groundwork for being the jump into "real" 3D, Models are pretty shitty, especially the coloring getting washed out. I don't really think XY themselves are the issue, the issue is the choice to not improve and instead embracing the flaws rather then trying to fix them in ORAS, Gen7 and Gen8.

Basically, it REALLY needed a Z that could brought Emerald/Platinum-tier improvements, but looking at ORAS i doubt that would been the case even if a Z version had been made.

There's no way to verify this is true but a lot of stuff does inexplicably add up. I always thought it was weird how XY's plot didn't try to shake things up like BW's did.

Something about the story being cut is very obvious so I'd believe it.
Still remember going to the big diancie crystal thing in that one town and thinking oh the game is making a big deal out of it, I wonder what it does.
It does nothing. It just looks nice. Ok then.

>BW doesn't stop you nearly as much as the 3DS games!
Let's actually analyze BW and XY to see which game offers you actual freedom.
We'll use the first town as an example, but we'll also extend it to just outside each of the towns too, since this is often times a place for cutscenes to take place

BW -
>2 steps away from the first town there is a 20 second talk to Bianca and Cheren talking about how many pokemon you've caught on the route
>Professor juniper immediately calls on the TRANSever just to say hi despite only just seeing you moments ago and already sets up your first railroading by telling you to meet her outside the pokecenter which is LITERALLY 5 steps away from where you are standing, 25 second long phonecall btw
>Then cheren and bianca say they're going on ahead, another 10 seconds of watching them walk off screen
>Professor Juniper stops you seconds later to go into the Pokecenter, cutscene lasts for 2 (TWO) minutes 35 seconds
>Walking out of the pokecenter triggers another cutscene with two NPC's saying there's something going on literally 3 steps away, 5 seconds
>Walking 3 steps to the left triggers another cutscene with Ghetsis giving the first of his many monologues which he gives in every single town, goes on for 1 minute 48 seconds
>Immediately after that N stops you and talks his garbage for 50 seconds before battling you
>After the battle N says some shit then fucks off, then cheren says some shit for 35 seconds
>Bonus round, IMMEDIATELY after leaving the town your mum phones you and the call lasts for over 2 minutes

X&Y-
>Entering the Pokecentre has Tierno run in after you and tells you about healing your pokemon and buying shit from the pokemart all in 35 seconds, a fraction of the time it took juniper to tell you the same thing. You can unironically skip this too by not going into this Pokecenter until after you've beat the gym leader.
>20 seconds to receive the exp share when leaving to the next route AFTER beating the gym leader

I liked BW2 more, but Megas were neat if definitely a gimmick that I grew to like more. Lots of annoying bits, but steps like trainer customization made it alright. The transition to 3d was rocky. I liked some mon designs. It wasn’t a great transition but it SHOULD have been an alright first step towards something better.

fun as is every pokémon game but ultimately lacking in challenge and distinct locale. You can really tell that the jump to full on 3D was a massive undertaking for GF and Creatures, especially the later who had to make 600+ fully animated models for every single pokémon. Hard to play through a second or third time but definitely not the worst the main series has been. That title belongs to ORAS.

I wouldve overlooked everything garbage about it if they just made a Z version. This was supposed to be THE generation. The only generation where you can have one Pokémon from each generation in your party. I was anticipating 6th gen since the earlier days of Gen 3, and I was let down

It was a good start and I think a third version Pokemon Z with things like...

hard mode, Battle Frontier, ORAS megas, new megas, Zygarde cell collection and story, and an Episode Volcanion at the Power Plant

...could have been one of the best games of the series.
