Played pic related for the first time since release, probably has my favorite regional dex out of any game. Not even fishing being post game killed my enthusiasm
XY's is better
>>58534245I used to rate XY first, but contrasting them, XY takes a bit longer to open up IIRCOnce I finish my livingdex here, Y is next on my list so I'll have a more concrete opinion
>>58534245And yet you hate your own XY chromosomes you retarded tranny
>>58534238You are supposed to hate gen 5 because shartroons demand you to
>>58534274I still think gen 5 is overrated as hell, but I've never thought it was a bad gen. Ranking it less than top 3 would be dishonest
>>58534245>immediately going straight to GenwarsFaggot.
>>58534238Glad you're having fun. They're great games.
>>58534245XY's is fucking shit. It was the first time I legit though gamefreak had stopped trying with pokemon. gen 7 kinda rectified that a bit, but not much.
>>58534286I do think we overrate it a bit, but then I remember how bad gen 4 was and what it kinda fixed since gen 2 and I start rating it again. That and it was pushing the DS to it's absolute limit. Gen 5 looked stunning on the DS. Absolutely stunning. Turns out, things would never improve from then onwards and it's basically looked the same or similar since, just a change in some camerawork really and more 3D. Although, SS now does seem like an achievement in retrospect. More than SV.It's just that it's now up against things with monsters like Monster Hunter when it decided to go full 3D. If pokemon looked like monster hunter, but you could catch them - it would be the greatest shit of all time probably. Then you can make the battles more like actual action games with mechanics and use the 4 joypad buttons as your move set for each pokemon as you are playing. Make the player directly control the pokemon instead of the player character. You could make pokemon dark souls proper if you did that.That's just never going to happen. Not even monster hunter's devs could pull that off I think. You'd have to have completely unique hitboxes and animations for each move in the game that felt more like a sword or magic in an adventure game.
>>58534238I really didn’t care for it. Felt like some things were given too late when they should’ve been earlier. I appreciate the early Braviary/Volcarona, but Volcarona’s learnset was fucking wack.
>>58534245Factual post.
>>58534245XY has great variety but is hampered by hiding new mons behind single routes with 10% encounter rates>>58534265>troons out of nowhereObsessed.
>>58534245XY's dex is modern day romhack with 10 pokemon only available on a single route tier.
>>58535113>I remember how bad gen 4 was and what it kinda fixed since gen 2 and I start rating it againI did a plat LD prior to this, and for that I had to do about the first half of diamond and pearl. Platinum has problems but it really did a lot. In DP, there's an incredible amount of delay between everything in the battle system. Platinum still has issues with speed, but you can tell the difference, though it's harder to appreciate without the side by side.I still maintain that HGSS are my favorite set of games though, that shit blew my mind when it came out
>>58535121I'm finding that I take some issue with the season system. Nothing major, mainly gripes>if you start a playthrough in the wrong month you're locked out of swathes of the dex for monthsI know I can cheese the clock, but I have a habit of avoiding that given how much the game punishes you for it in gen 4. Not sure how much that crosses over>affecting day night cycle timesI know I'm dumb for this one, but I'm used to 8PM being night time, and having the game seasons not line up IRL genuinely throws me for a loop. I live relatively far north on the globe, and it's dark as shit here now at like 6I lost count of how many dusk balls I lost to this
Something else I'm not keen on is how they handled triple/rotation battle trainersIn most games, you can tell if you're going to be doing a double battle in the overworld, and adjust. In gen 5, without looking it up, there's no way to know. My only white outs were both to surprise battles like this
>>58535739Yeah, I hate it when games have too much content.
>>58535121>Volcarona’s learnset was fucking wackBy the time you can catch it, you already have move tutors around that can teach it Signal Beam (and make it relearn Ember because Fire Spin blows), so it's not all bad.
>>58534245Wow b2w2 must be the shittiest game ever made then
>>58534274I've noticed that most XY fans are part of the LGBTQIAP++ community. This can't be a coincidence.
>>58537559Schizo post.
>>58537563How so?

>>58537639Not your diary i fear.
>>58537643when do you transition sister
>>58537627True, and most Zoomers started with XY, though you can argue many started sooner

>>58537682Nor do we post other people's
>>58534245It's genuinely peak.>Horde battles really mix up hunting and have fun mechanics like the horde fighting each other>Background materials to destroy means even mowing down trash will net you some items as you grind>Massive variety, tons of options, all without falling for the open world memeXY's only sin was lazy 3D models and animation. If it were 2D like the earlier 5 gens it would be considered among the best in the series.
>>58537735>>Massive variety, tons of optionsthis is a bad thing
>>58537735>XY's only sin was [LIE]every time>>58537761This. I hate it when my games have too much content.

XY is based and I love sucking dick, my transtition is coming soon.

>>58534238It's the last "true 2D" Pokemon game so there's a certain bittersweet feel to it.This is the moment that the classic era ended and the "Game Freak is an indie studio pls understand" era starts.
what the fuck is going on with the captcha
>>58535739Kinda true, I think it's fun when there's new mons to look forward to every route, but if you do too much it also feels like certain places don't have their identity anymore.
