Ok, but Unova had a lot more kanto pandering. All the new mons are derivative of old kanto ones, and theres even a CHARIZARD bridge. Seriously, fuck gen 5.

Okay, I'm a new guy, but since you started it, I want to know a list of Pokemon you think are pandering to Kanto.
With 156 new Pokemon, I do expect a few that could reasonably be said to be inspired by Kanto, simply because there were a lot introduced all at once.

Not him, but I'll give my two cents.
Comparatively speaking, the story doesn't hold much water, and gens 5 and 7 were far more of a challenge than 6.
Also, the graphical style just hasn't aged very well in my opinion.
Megaevolutions, while a cool concept which could've been executed well, ended up as the gimmick to replace every single time.
I'm not angry at the existence of X&Y, I'm disappointed because I know they could do better.

>>51704769
Why is SwSh up there? Jeeze man, and I thought you said BW had a terrible story, and HGSS had a terrible learning curb. Hell, SwSh's launch dex is WORSE than DP's.

>>51704865
There's basically two mandatory tutorials in Black and White. The catching tutorial, and the running shoes tutorial. Anything else and you're expected to really learn it yourself, or is mentioned off handedly(like "different Pokeballs have different effects.")
The story of SwiSh was a incohesive mess that I couldn't understand, while I could easily track B&W. Sure, B&W's story was a bit simplistic, but it had some interesting plot points, including just how damn close Ghetsis actually got to completing his plan, how a cult of personality can blind people and let them do very evil things for the "right cause," and tries to fucking execute you in the sequels.
Comparatively, all I got from Swish was something about an energy crisis hundreds of years into the future, and thinking that this is something the baddie has to fix NOW.

The only thing that SwiSh has going for it gameplay wise is that it has the QoL enhancements that U/S/M had.

>Gems
Was that literally all you had? The fucking single use gems that power up a move?
The problem with this comparison is that it's SUCH a fucking reach. Gems weren't advertised as a core mechanic to Pokemon. They didn't get a PMD game and TWO sets of remakes with them implemented.

I don't really have any major problems with your attempt to throw my words and opinions back at me like some sort of pathetic attempt at an owning but...
>Region design
I can give you this. It's not my favorite region. I don't think Kalos really had better region design though.
I mean FFS it's basically a half assed star, and you're telling me a Pokeball land formation in the middle of a lake isn't realistic?

That's not the point at all. YOU people point to "what started thing" to scapegoat your favorite game's problem onto another and avoid criticism all together. It's pure 3dfag deflection tactic.

Any time a second starter choice is given out, outside of events, it's a reward for accomplishing something significant.
>Emerald
Complete the National Dex to get gen 2 starters
>HGSS
Beat all 16 gyms and Red and Oak will give you a Gen 1 starter and Steven will give you a Gen 3 starter
By this point in XY you've only gotten one badge, and maybe evolved your initial starter once. now the game is handing you another one that is even better with the access to the gimmick of the gen. The fact it's the Kanto starters too just shows a lack of care for their world building when you consider that Sycamore was Rowan's student so if he were to have another other starters beyond his home region it should be Sinnoh's.

If GF really wanted you to have a Kanto starter it should've been reserved for Post-game, and given out by Blue since he was already mentioned to have visited the region. Better yet afterwards make him an optional battle and using the Kanto starter stronger to the one you pick.

As someone whose lobbed that critique against gen 2 it's so annoying that they grasp at straws and throw it back in their little tantrum. It's not even a matter of "game ruining." just that those games didn't put their best foot forward in this regard Jesus. And it's also annoying how little "This is rectified in the remakes" is acknowledged. I'm sorry Johtofriends.

Gen 2 I can understand, but I'm really curious as to what the reasons for Gen 5 being held up to "high standards" is. Because it sure isn't the difficulty. Or the exploration. Or the writing. Or the post-game facilities. Or the QoL. Or the graphics. Or the multiplayer.

I think that was from a thread were someone condensed Kanto to be as small as Galar is, I'm sure there's a version that's were the map was made to resemble Galar but I don't have it.

The hate XY gets is so fucking obviously forced that it's kind of hilarious. It's like redditors just made up the conclusion about the game just so they can force their "3D bad" narrative and then they have to straw grasp at whatever they can to try and make the conclusion fit.

I disagree. Again, I've found X&Y lacking in difficulty, game mechanics(mega-evolution was ill thought out and you know it), the art style, optimization(at least it's not as bad as U/S/M), and memorability. I can only remember like two locations from Kalos and I don't even recall their names. Meanwhile, even Galar I have no problem reciting at least 4 of the names, despite never watching the anime nor playing the games.

And somehow XY is worse at all of those than most other Pokemon games. Maybe XY is the problem, and not every other game?
Like, if you look at every other game released up to the 3DS, XY is the easiest to overlevel in. Gen 1 had optional EXP All and trainers giving more EXP, Gen 2-4 had EXP Share instead, Gen 5 actually went out of it's way to have EXP scaling and while there were ways to increase EXP (Lucky Egg during the story for some reason and Pass Powers) it also had ways of reducing it (Pass Powers and the weird B2W2 EXP cap). Gen 6 has the EXP All again, O-Powers consistently available on the bottom screen, EXP buffs for just interacting with your Pokemon, and introduced EXP for catching Pokemon. For the record, Gen 7 was similar to Gen 6 but had EXP scaling and removed the trainer EXP buff.

Mind if I ask a weird question? Nobody has been able to answer it, and you seem reasonable enough. Do you like XY? And if so, why? Especially when ORAS does pretty much everything better than it. I've seen people implying they really like XY so often, but what they praise it for was done better in ORAS, so I feel they're disingenuous. I'd like the perspective of somebody who isn't a discord schizo.

Yeah, ORAS is definitely a bad Hoenn remake. Good Gen 6 game, for what it's worth, but given I wouldn't replay either of them I'd say the one with slightly more to do after I beat the game wins out.

Yeah, as someone else who bought Y on Launch Day, it was.
I mean as the newest Pokemon game, and being a 13 year old at the time, I enjoyed it, but as the years went by, my opinion soured. Case in point, I did another playthrough of the game about a few months ago for Ribbon Master purposes, and my God, I just wanted it to end already.

It’s completely irrelevant the entire game except for a 30 second cutscene.

Zygarde has more relevance in SM than Rayquaza does in Emerald. Hell, fucking Floette has more relevance in XY than Rayquaza does in Emerald.
