Gen 6 might honestly be my favorite gen all things included. It has way more quality of life things to make getting competitive mons easier than the old games, but doesn't have the major negatives of the Gen 7-current games (new pokemon suck, mandatory EXP share) It had the best(free) online of any game, legendaries guaranteed 3 perfect IVs, can make a competitive mon in a day, unlimited TMs, EXP share still optional, it's the last gen where the new pokemon are actually good minus 1 or 2, great pool of available mons in the game, Megas were neat, battle maison was fun.
The only negative for me is the difficulty option was removed from the previous gen (all Pokmon games are pisseasy so it's not really a problem exclusive to these games) and it was the start of the soulless 3d Models that we've seen for a decade now. Definetly prefer sprites.
