>revitalizes Pokemon after Gen 5 killed the series
?
Charizard Y was way better and more relevant competitively. Despite this they used X in far more promotional material.
>>58253967Kek, lmao even.
>>58253967Y 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
>>58253963gen 5 did kill the series by virtue of being too goodno future game could compete so they had to consistently dumb them down since then
>>58253967Because X charizard is cooler.
>>58254013The "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
>>58253963>turns the series into worthless kanto pandering
>>58254111you 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.
>>58254111my first generation was gen 3, played it before i could even readmy favorite is gen 2, only first played it last yeargen 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/thread
>>58253967Once upon a time, Smogon considered Charizard X better but that time is lost
>>58254528I'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.
>>58253963That's not gen 2 and Pokemon Go
>>58254118This was a series low point
>>58253967X is dark edgy BLACK and is DRAGON type so it wins by default. Have fun with your anorexic Chariturd Ydoesitexist Yfags.
>>58254118
Kinozard X
>>58254666it's not optional
>>58253963How? It's absurdly tiny.
>>58254666>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.
>>58254672It's forced into your party and you can't put it back into a box?
>>58255415No but you're required to take it, or one of the other starters, plus it's holding a free Mega Stone.
>>58255418So it is optional, got it.
>>58255420If 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.
>>58255444You can progress just fine with it being in your box.
>>58254118Still better than inferior copies of Kantomon
>>58255458I can't think of any copies that were straight up worse.
>>58254564Ironically the beginning of XY was the best part of it lol
