X and Y was always an underwhelming experience to me. Yea the whole "3d" pokemon on the go meme was neat at first but after you get over that and mega evolutions... then what? Everything else was just garbo when it came to:
>the villains
>post-game
>the handouts
>the music (the gen 1 remix and villain theme was okay)
>the goddamn fucking rollarskates jesus christ who the fuck approved that.
Anything that was memorable in those games where just repeated but better in others (besides online functionality in Sword and Shield but that doesn't really count because GF just did too much coke)
