>>49284806>The games are ugly,Far more graphically coherent than Gen 7 and 8 with the sole exception of LGPE.
>they have no post gameThey have far more postgame than base SM and SWSH.
>the meta was a god forsaken sin against mankindThat honor once again goes to Gen 7 and 8 for starting their whole gimmick trend and fucking the meta with other restrictions and little tweaks to the gameplay balance.
>they fucked up the models so hard we're still paying for itAgain, Gen 7 and 8's fault. They had every reason to touch up the models, why didn't they? It's not like they spent the time they saved NOT touching up the models making the game any better, and from a technical standpoint Gen 6 is still the most impressive 3D era games which is fucking sad.
>introduced these shitty battle gimmicksYou're free to dislike hordes and the destroyable terrain because they're little more than niche gimmicks, but you can't honestly be telling me those are worse than Gen 7 starting the trend of flashy nukes that are literally made to get canned the next gen.
>the story was the worst one yetXY's story was fantastic, it only seems bad coming from Gen 5 which had the best one yet. Even if you don't like it because of the admittedly awful pacing, Sword and Shield still takes the cake for the worst.
>The only somewhat redeeming point in xy are some of the pokemon designs, but that's about it.My exact sentiment for Alola and Galar, except Kalos actually had sub-par games instead of being complete and utter shit.
