>>44867996>How is it XY's problem that you were expecting a shitty scam rehash based on literally nothing but patterns?It has nothing to do with my expectations. If XY got a third everyone would overlook its problems like they do with DP or RS. That's my point.
>Like being a lazy rehash that doesn't introduce any new Pokemon or a new region? Yeah, it sure lacked in that, thank fuck.Not responding to this obvious bait and leading questions, here's your (you)
>>44868011>How?I'm not saying Pokemon ever really has a good story, but the plot progression in XY is constantly interrupted by your group of friends, who despite all your interactions with them, lack character development. None of Team Flare is developed besides Lysandre, and his development is lackluster and doesn't fit well with his motives. On top of that, AZ is thrown into the plot without being expanded on or explained, and the game devs don't even seem to understand the lore they built themselves half the time.
I'm not expecting a great story from Pokemon, but the "other games have the same issue" argument doesn't magically make XY's flaws go away, either.
>Where?Locked doors in the power plant, Sycamore's note at the railroad station, the entirety of Terminus cave and Zygarde's existence, AZ's Floette.
>It has more post-game than RS and DP. It's not setting a precedent for anything, other games already had worse game post-game.RS sure, but DP has an entire island dedicated to the post-game, and both games have at least 5 more legends for you to catch after beating the game. XY gives you 3.
On top of that, I think RS and DP are dogshit games themselves, but we're talking about XY here so I'm not sure why DP or RS being bad games somehow makes XY better.
XY are bad games just like RS and DP were, but despite being part of the "release a game and then release a better version" gimmick Pokemon has, they just gave us the shitty version and left us with that.
