The Festival Plaza was more interactive than the PSS and the Y-Comm is just the PSS but better and less laggy. What the fuck do you mean?

The only thing Gen 6 got right is the online. So surprise, people use it a lot. Although I know a lot of people still use Gen 7 online as well, probably because it's the last game with them all

and even laggier except this time you have to trudge through boring menus instead of it being an integrated part of the game.
X and Y were broken and buggy games. Do I really need to remind you of pic related?

PSS made it so much easier to set up trades and battles with randoms, it's not even funny. Even if you're a smogonfag all you had to do was put your format into your little comment and battlers would flock to you.

Festival Plaza wasn't even comparable in its ease of use. It was janky and shit.

Yeah it was a cool feature but really badly implemented. Why couldn't the main game feature any triple battles? Who do you have to go to the shitty restaurants do use them?

Entirely subjective and I didn't really like all the technoshit. Probably why it's my least favourite soundtrack along with 8's

In 2021? No, but I played ranked triples a bit back in gen 6 and it had a decently active playerbase mostly from Japan, so I wouldn't be surprised if some dedicated players organize matches every now and then. Doesn't at all mean gen 6 is active though.

You can talk about Gen 6 and it's positives without dragging any other Gen. It should be possible. But for whatever reason, every single Kalos appreciation thread always has people shutting on other gens, mostly either Unova or especially Alola. I've never seen people genuinely just talk about these games, it's always either genwarring against other gens or just downright shitposting

relying on internet forums solely for oneoff battles is not something that the majority of players, especially more casual ones, do. is it at least common enough that acknowledging it with the code system is a good idea? absolutely, but completely removing every other type of interactivity alongside it is retarded and there's absolutely no reason gamefreak couldn't have just taken the PSS skeleton and further expanded and improved on it instead of scrapping every other feature that so much as encouraged actually interacting with people.

But why is it that every discussion of XY devolves into disliking how a feature was handled in a previous or later generation? Is it not possible to simply just talk about them and no other games?

No, the Discord narrative is building up Gen 6 while shitting on Gens 5, 7, and 8, Discordtranny. The very first post in this thread bringing up other gens in this thread was saying "UGH I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS GOT WORSE" instead of just talking about the online

Right, so that must be the Discord. Not the post directly after that tries to sell the Festival Plaza or Y-Comm, implementations from newer games that are generally considered to be even worse, as better?

Both are, probably. I wouldn't put it past the schizos on here to have made cliques specifically dedicated to genwars and are as a result constalty at each other's throats. Nevertheless, the first guy had no reason to bring it up in the first place, because apparently you can't prop up something in Gen 6 without tearing down something else in another gen.

Why not? XYORAS still has the best multiplayer infrastructure. Instant access to friends, the Battle Spot, GTS and even O-Powers built into the home menu. It was simple, intuitive, and successfully integrated features from the DS era.

Also, your pic just reminded me that Gen 8 doesn't have a fucking VS Recorder...Didn't even bring it back for the Sinnoh games.

Most Unovahaters usually praise XY and shit on BW. They have an entire folder worth of bait images that they use regularly. They shit on the sprites and praise the 3d models every fucking time and they claim shit like BW killed the franchise because of the sales while XY saved it. And also there's the recent trend of trying to make Gen 6 look better than 7 but also mentioning XY were also bad so that no one suspects you're a kalosperm. Just recently there was this image that was spammed for 3-4 days on repeat that had all downright lies just to make Gen 6 look better. Are you claiming this is all just a Gen 7/8 fan? That's just no tru scottsman

There is absolutely no reason that these features need to be mutually exclusive, but I guess pokemon fans have successfully been stockholm syndrome'd into thinking they need to be
