>>48184366Unova didn't build on what the previous parts of the franchise left behind. It was aesthetically pleasing and some people loved the fact there were mostly (only?) original mons most people rejected it though.
Unova was unique and it didn't sell well unfortunately i wish it had perhaps we wouldn't have the gimmicks we do today introduced in the following gen if it managed to perform better.
They saw that the unique designs were a disaster for sales and leaned onto what they knew which obviusly is why the x/y series did better than ruby/sapphire despite ruby/sapphire being a better game than x/y even though it killed the franchise by pandering to women at least it wasn't designed for downs babies.
If you need a fan made patch to make your game more enjoyable you did it wrong. period. Even if everything else about kalos was kino (mega evolutions are hit or miss for many i like the designs hate the gameplay) the fact the maps were just hallways or open areas that made no use of the roller skate trick animations at all. The gym lay outs were cool though climbing the big tree playground was too fucking cool but i wish it was more than just walk up and press a, character does animation they should've made it like the fishing animation press a at the right moment while you run to jump or you miss the jump fall into the net and slide down to the bottom of the tree and have to try again.
