>>50247295both have new evolutions of old pokemon as the main gimmick
both have a ton of kanto references and are overly reliant on old pokemon
both have evil team leaders who are pretending to be business men while they plan to effectively commit genocide because they had a bad past
both have a female champion who meets the player once or twice and then does fuck all the entire rest of the game
both have online functionality as their main appeal
the difference is that XY is actually a decent game while DP is a dogshit one
