>>56416953* The most forgettable Rivals/Friends/Gym Leaders/E4/Champion/Villain/Villain Team.
* Super Easy
* The most pathetic rematches against Gym Leaders/E4/Champion.
* Only 72 new pokémon
* Santalune forest and Viridian Forest
* Snorlax roadblock
* 12 out of 28 megas introduced in XY were kanto megas and only 1 Kalos mega (in ORAS)
* Legendary hunt only has one Kalos mon. It has Mewtwo and Kanto birds
* Pidgey is always the first wild encounter
* Gift Mega Kanto Starter
* Gift Mega Lucario
* Mewtwo and Zard get two megas
* Lysandre is a copy of Cyrus
* Team Flare is first encountered the exact same way as Team Rocket was, right down to picking one of two fossils
* Lysandre labs is a copy of the Rocket hideout with the spin tiles and elevator key hunt
* Poké Ball Factory shares several similarities with the Silph Co in Saffron City: both places are involved in creating Poké Balls, are located in the same city or town as the sixth Gym of the region, get taken over by a villainous team at some point, and both companies' presidents reward the player with a Master Ball after driving the villainous team out of the building.
* Immigrants from or tourists to Kanto talking about how great it is
* The kalos regional dex is made up of kanto pokemon more than any other region (Kanto: 111 (24.2%), even more than fucking kalosmons who make up 15.7%)
*the first of many obligatory generational gimmicks
*native Pokemon are excluded from said generational gimmick
*box legends have zero lore
*bloated encounter tables
*not a single interesting trainer battle in the game
*another shitty circle region but with somehow even less interesting landmarks
*lumiose blackout when the lights are obviously still on
*anything that could be called a dungeon is braindead
*literally nothing to find in the postgame beyond one of the aforementioned braindead “dungeons” and the first of several reskinned battle towers
* It created the most autistic, self-inserter and toxic anime fandom
