>>46399943I at least like X/Y better than say, SWSH.
>>46406710Not at all. You're being hyperbolic now, or just baiting. I find the narrative in Gen 5 to be pretty vastly superior to Gen 6's, and the pacing of the games as a whole to be better too.
Also, Gen 6 doesn't capitalize on 3D properly until, say, OR/AS. Gen 5 refines everything it incorporates. It's entirely about refinement. Hard to beat something like that when you're just getting started. Don't know why GameFreak made a whole bunch of progress and then stopped; X/Y should have been in development longer, but some suit somewhere probably didn't want that. Trainer Customization is nice though, I guess, and I like how X/Y does multiplayer.
Also, it can't be better than Gen 4 because Gen 4 includes HG/SS, which have way too many great features to fall below X/Y. Not to mention, the multiplayer for the time was great, and the pacing was good too. Just good though, not great. Plot wise, it's fine. But level wise it's not.
Gen 3 is based though. It was an important milestone for Pokemon development and also way more self-realized than X/Y.
