>>53251603>That's the same as BWNo, as linear as the region is the routes and dungeons are designed in a more traditional fashion.
XY on the other hand features very simplistic routes that are mostly straight lines and nothing more.
>That's the same as BW.You can say that but without visual evidence it means very little.
As for the content you've just split up what I said to make it seem longer than it actually is like the Amie minigames for instance.
But it doesn't matter because I didn't exactly mention all the content in BW
Such as:
The sage hunt
Morimoto who doesn't appear in XY
The Patrat minigame
The passing survey
The sports domes
The ferris wheel battles
Also
>Gym rematch teamsThere are no true gym rematch teams in XY. You see them in the Chateau but they only have two pokemon meaning many trainers have LESS than what they had before.
Also note that I'm not including faux content equivalent to the pokeradar or friend safari.
>So does XY. It doesn't, all the routes are just routes leaving them at 22. The closest you'll get are probably the avenues in lumiose and that's just lumiose.
>Except to earn orbs you need a second personWhich is considerably easier to do especially given how prevalent piracy was and still is for DS games.
Meanwhile to get a fraction of the same effectiveness you have to get 4000 steps on the 3ds.
>"new pokemon" is relativeThen your argument is moot since no one will recognize any of the pokemon in XY as new anyway.
>Azure BayNothing in it other than a single room "cave"
>Terminus CaveObligatory third legend Dungeon which is why I didn't mention the chasm either.
>Lost HotelBarely a dungeon but I can also say lostlorn forest, challenger's cave, abundant shrine etc etc.
>Chamber of EmptinessOnce again a single room cave.
>And even more hidden areas in Route 6 There are no hidden areas it's a linear route as you can see.
>and Route 16Which also has no hidden areas.
