I think SuMo were unfairly shit on because people were bored of Pokémon after XY and ORAS poisoned the well. Taken on their own, they're good fucking games that understand what made the series popular in the first place, while changing things up when they could. It's not the best narrative or the best region or the best set of new mons, but it's just a joy to play.
Also, your argument is flawed because there are no XY apologists.
