>>58843926I prefer BW, but the post clearly highlights how hard we were with XY. In many ways, they are games full of substance and content. For me, the biggest problem was the extreme ease of the game, the slightly off-kilter pacing that turns the game into a boss rush after Shalour City, and the new Pokémon were too few compared to the Kalos Pokédex. Furthermore, it was the beginning of the simplification of the games and the Kanto Pandering. But despite this, I always thought they had enormous potential, enough to make them the best Pokémon game ever. Deep down, I thought, "Oh well, Z will take care of that," but sadly, it never arrived. In many ways, it was the swan song of the classic Pokémon games, the last true Pokémon game.
ORAS, however, is a whole different story. I don't even hate ORAS, but at the time I was definitely perplexed: it increased the dose of babyfication, furthermore the new megas were one more broken than the other and completely unbalanced the XY meta that I instead appreciated.
