>>50473420The fact is that gf decided to make the games extremely kid friendly from xy on because they wanted to make sure kids would finish them. There is no pertinence in comparing that to old nes games whose point is the opposite : being near impossible to finish to get some duration. You can call both kid's game but they just aren't the same thing, so don't act retarded about this.
So, yes, if you want to play xy the way an unaware youngster would and have it be balanced for an "adult" (i'm being charitable to you), you're being a whiny stupid bitch. (especially when gf made the effort to let 'helps' stay optional, which they abandoned in latter entries).
Anyway, there's a lot to love in xy when you're going at it with the right attitude, but the kind of relationship to the game you describe here exhibits what may be xy's greatest quality : in the enjoyability departement, being an brainless-peon filter.
