>>55211979>Gimmicks that get dropped every gen, yes Mega evos are shit and literally overrated.That's SM, but yeah, gimmicks suck.
>half-baked stories that were stopped halfway throughXYs story was OK for Pokemon standards. It wrapped up nicely too. SM on the other hand had a ton of loose plots that went nowhere.
>introduced crunch, resulting in games being half-finished with unused maps and contentBeen a thing at least since Platinum.
>characters that you didn't give a shit about, with the rivals being the biggest offender and as well that flying e4 that nobody knows about (even that her art was never released, but only as a scan).That flying E4 member is from SM. XY rivals had Shauna, which is all my dick needs to remember.
>less than 90 new Pokemon introduced per generation with huge amount of legendary/mythical bloat and as well gimmick forms from battle gimmicks using up the art/design budget.Gen I had 4 legendaries and 1 mythical.
Gen II had 5 new legendaries and 1 mythical.
Gen III had 8 new legendaries and 2 mythical.
Gen IV had 9 new legendaries and 4 mythical.
Gen V had 9 new legendaries and 4 mythical.
Gen VI had 3 new legendaries and 3 mythical.
Gen VII had 11 (or 22 if you add ultra shits) new legendaries and 5 mythical.
If anything, XY was trying to reverse the trend.
