It's time to take the ultimate red pill anons: XY are good.
I hate shit like megas, the kanto pandering, and the difficulty but this game is SAVED by the goddamn map design. The routes and cities have all been glorious to explore, and the world is so vibrant and teeming with interesting places, and I'm tired of pretending that those elements don't shine through, cause they do. I hate the other parts but honestly playing XY for the first time in 3 years has reminded that, in practice, I really enjoy these games.
