Charizard Y was way better and more relevant competitively. Despite this they used X in far more promotional material.

Y Megas actually evolve the mons they're supposed to be Mega Evolving. Charizard, Mewtwo and Raichu are innately Special Attackers because they were designed with a Special Type in mind. The X Megas are just edgy shit made to parallel them with "physical" prowess that doesn't make them anywhere near as good. I bet Raichu X will be outclassed by fucking Pawmott

gen 5 did kill the series by virtue of being too good
no future game could compete so they had to consistently dumb them down since then

The "your favorite Pokemon gen will be the one you first played" meme was funny up until gen 4 but became sad with gen 5, so many kids duped into imprinting on such a shitty gen that they purposely made bad as a joke

you said it, and you're right. it's just a "meme", not something real. Gen 5 is loved because it's unique, not because you played it when you were 8.

my first generation was gen 3, played it before i could even read
my favorite is gen 2, only first played it last year
gen 5 is still up there as one of the greats, but you wouldn't know that, you were in diapers when gen 5 was new and had to cope by bringing the actual good games down to gen 8's level

Once upon a time, Smogon considered Charizard X better but that time is lost

I've never been too concerned with what they thought. I do vaguely recall that, but Charizard X was just another single-target setup sweeper whereas CharY was turn key, had weather supremacy for at least one turn, and was the best sun setter for its partner alongside.

X is dark edgy BLACK and is DRAGON type so it wins by default. Have fun with your anorexic Chariturd Ydoesitexist Yfags.

>at least they have different names
>at least they're different in every game except XY which forces you to choose the Kanto starters as a second choice early in the game.
>some games have rivals who pick the weaker starter, some have both. In some cases there's rivals without starters.
>not all games have badges but even then, the types and teams the gym leaders use are vastly different.
>in some games they're stopped later. Plus the teams almost always have different goals.
>and all the victory roads from BW2 onwards were more than just boring HM filled caves. Plus every Victory Road has different wild mons.
>Every Elite Four is different in terms of characters and Pokémon. Grom Gen 5 onwards, we started getting different takes on the formula (5, 6 and 7 letting you choose the order, 8 having a tournament.).
>most games actually don't have a secret twist champion. It's always someone you've met in the game. Sometimes it's explicitly mentioned that they're the champion.
>hall of fame...oddly enough a thing they've stopped doing in recent gens.

It's forced into your party and you can't put it back into a box?

No but you're required to take it, or one of the other starters, plus it's holding a free Mega Stone.

If it were truly optional, you wouldn't be required to take it to progress. Don't forget the Snorlax roadblock that you awaken with a Pokéflute.
