Typical brainless Kalos hater who doesn't even try to explain why he doesn't like Gen 6. It's cool to hate them so that means they must be shit. Here, I found a picture of you.

They were inferior versions cause of bad online gimmicks... But still. Almost a BF spread throughout the game.

This is how it goes anytime someone dares say anything positive about Gen 6, people say "no you're retarded and wrong" yet don't even attempt to explain why, because they've been conditioned to think it's bad without even considering why that would be.

Gen 6 had the best online and multiplayer, that's absolutely inarguable. Combined with how accessible breeding/EV training was and those first couple months with no 3DS hacking or injection, it was only time we ever had a decent cart meta and multiplayer scene.
Remembering people swapping friend codes, safaris, breedjects, organizing tournaments, etc was some comfy shit we'll never get on that level again.

The actual main story of the games was mediocre at best, but I put more hours into Gen 6 than any other if only because of the multiplayer

When you let your opinion on the whole generation be swayed by whether you find the design of the female characters good or not, more specifically, the use of "best waifus" as youir phrasing rather than something like "best overall character designs".
Well that's definitely coomer-tier logic.

Wouldn't say I enjoyed gen 6 the most, but yeah, I can agree. Definitely better than gens 7 & 8. Waifus were better in Alola, though. I mean, that's literally all Alola had going for it, but it certainly had waifus aplenty.

What the fuck are you talking about. Gigantamax is shit and also they should bring National dex back but Gen VII was a piece of shit, the games were awful as you had movies every 3 fucking actions, the game play was stalled all the time because of that, also the Poke Pager thing was the worse way of solving the HM issue, in Gen VIII this is solved in a better more realistic way, also the music is nowhere as good as Gen VIII

I get everyone hates gigantamax and the dex cut, I do too, but leaving that aside Gen VIII is superior in every way to Gen VII

Disgusting. Removing overworld HM interactions entirely is not better, SwSh suffers from a severe lack of interesting routes. You backtrack what, once? to the professor's house to go across the lake. Fly is just fast travel now and basically only exists to get you back to wild area since no other area of the game is important after your linear story campaign is done. Gen 7's music is way better than gen 8's garbage.

Gen 6 is the "good ideas, bad executions" gen.
Fairy type was definitely needed to cover light/fluffy themes in contrast to Dark's edginess, but they made it ridiculously unbalanced from a gameplay perspective, dominating the type chart while also over-nerfing Dragon and also resisting the already shitty Bug for some reason.
Megas were cool as hell and added some spice to the existing combat system, but they were distributed horribly, being mostly given to already-OP mons instead of being distributed equally across different tiers.
And then there's the unfinished-but-well-designed Kalos region.

I've recently started playing Swoshie and while I can see all it's massively glaring flaws and don't think it's anything special, I'm surprised by how much better it is than the gen 7 games. I'm actually having fun and some fights are quite challenging instead of spamming A with my Torracat for everything, the little QoL improvements make the overall experience more enjoyable as well, and the characters (sans Hop) are more interesting and I don't dread the conversations with them, which are also more spaced out unlike gen 7's constant interruptions. It flows in a more organic way. It took me three years to finish Moon because it was such a frustrating game in how bad it was that I kept quitting, I didn't even feel the motivation to play it, but at least gen 8 is keeping me hooked and I feel motivated to finish the challenge. It's like I have a goal, unlike before.

Playing X for the first time right now, I'm liking it desu. Not sure why everyone hates it so much.

The main thing I really don't like are the awful in-battle Pokemon models/animations that we're unfortunately still plagued with (especially since I tried Colosseum recently which absolutely blows them out the water despite being a decade old at the time) and the posse of 'rival' characters could easily be merged down into 1 or 1 people considering they all have exactly the same fucking personality.

I was about 18 when I got XY and played them, am 24 now. They were terrible then and are now. SwSh are far better with SM taking he top spot, maybe being equals? But XY is very much at the bottom. I didn’t buy into the Zelda Cycle nonsense but seeing as everyone hates on HGSS / BW games which were seen as “perfect” back then while shilling Kalos I can seee it now.

Once you get past the early game it seems like almost every wild pokemon has at least one of these and it just wastes your time. You’re going to kill it but it’s just going to waste your time getting to it. Gen V is by far the most tedious generation in the franchise

What was disappointing about gen 6 for me was how little there was to do in the postgame. XY was amazing up until you reach the 3rd gym and all the pacing falls apart. The story, villains and almost every character introduced in XY was underutilized and forgetable. Rematches in the Chateau were a fun idea, but got boring and repetitive really fast even after reaching Grand Duke. And even with a black writ of challenge none of the rematches would throw a full team at you. The looker story was okay I guess, but once you did that you had fuck all to do besides online, and battle maison/institute. Also Tierno, Trevor and Shauna are the absolute fucking worst rivals introduced in the series. Z could have fixed a lot of this.

ORAS is my favorite 3DS game, but that's cause I'm a hoenfag. Dex Nav was an amazing use of the bottom screen, secret bases were brought back and a lot fun making gyms and blissey bases, and online remained a constant. Even soaring was comfy. My only real complaints with ORAS is that it wasn't as good of a remake as HGSS was. The missing emerald content was a huge kick in the balls and the interview with masuda and ohmori and the audacity they had to include that model battle tower was a gigantic fuck you to long time fans. Stronger elite 4 was cool but no gym leader rematches made no sense, floating rings with no story event or explanation of hoopah. I like that battle with Wally after beating the super cup because I think pokemon needs super boss trainer battles like that again. Gen 6 isn't bad or worthless as many like to say it is, but it is a clear drop off point in terms of quality and replayablility.

Personally I can't call gen 7 that much of a step forward. It did improve a few things but Z moves were a stupid gimmick and the rotom dex for a bottom screen is the biggest waste of space, time and resources. It can't even function as a map properly. 8 doesn't feel like much of an improvement either. It feels like a half assed attempt in the direction fans want the series to go to but too many critics and fans give GF a pass because "aww small indie studio" when they in charge of the largest multimedia IP in the fucking world
