aspects of them are good, like the dex, especially early game is very diverse and nice for the most part
all 3 starters are cute, I like quilladin now, but now dislike chestnaughts design, delphox is stupid looking and braixen is just furrybait, but it is cute, love frogdier, not fond on greninjas design but having protean is cool
talonflame as the regional bird is based. I overall like most of the dex, although having trade evolutions fucking urks me because unlike gastly/machop/abra/geodude lines they atleast have a usable middle stage, but mons like pumpkaboo and swirlix are stuck as that unless you want to trade
the distribution of mega is lame, mewtwo should not have got one, psuedo's shouldn't have got them either. I feel like some that got them should've got an actual evolution, and maybe a mega for that evo. Mawhile needs a permanent evolution, sableye too
I also feel like it should've functioned as a "gen 2" to gen 5's "gen 1" improving on the mons introduced in that generation, while keeping the pokemon gen 6 did introduce
also this "gen 6 was good actually" is a weird forced meme, like the whole "gen 5 bad" all pokemon games have their good elements and bad ones, but overall the main series peaks at "good" none are the greatest game of all time, maybe if you frankenstien stich all of the kino moments and features from all them games you can make a "great game".
Also to summarise my point, X and Y specifically are "ok at best" in my eyes, gen 6 is almost good but much more polish was needed
