>>45017198>What does Gen 6 have?QOL and MMO-tier online.
>B-but Gen 7 and 8 have more QOL!No, they don't. Gen 7 and 8 piggyback off of Gen 6 and bastardize/blunder what it actually managed to do right.
>Overworld encountersShitty implementation when the DexNav could remove the RNG of just standing around to wait for Pokemon to spawn, it felt more like actual hunting instead of bird watching which is how Pokemon SHOULD feel.
>EV cap limit removedHordes are cheaper and faster, and Super Training allowed you to start EV training from as soon as you got your Pokemon and reset them without breaking an arm and a leg
>BottlecapsShitty implementation. It was added in the same gen that made getting to level 100 a chore when the same could be done from level 1 to 100 in 5 minutes in Gen 6. Gen 6 also was the first gen to standardize making gift Pokemon have perfect IVs and set wild/legendaries to have perfect IVs to make breeding easier and less RNG.
They could have totally made Amie raise IVs instead of giving shitty bonuses, too.
>LoreIt didn't actually flop on it. Ultra Beasts are literally just bits and pieces of XY's supernatural plot with the moon fairies and Galar's sports theme is a rehash of how the gym leaders in XY were all based on sports professions too.
>OnlineI shouldn't even need to say this one. Whoever thought stamps and the fucking festival plaza were good ideas needs to be put down. Gen 6 felt so alive and the PSS still manages to be active today, it's insane.
