Hi OP.
>58919195
Poor bait.
>>
>>58919195
I've always thought that XY were shit on because of their lack of an enhanced version. If you think about everything the games introduced, while keeping a lot of the stuff from the 2D games, it's a shame they're shit on constantly.
Even worse, the region was rushed to make way for the worst Gen in the franchise. Those alola games were easily the lowest point of the entire franchise.
>>
>>58919225
Alola was better though. And Kalos had some very average ass areas too.

XY with a few more locatio s, actual difficulty and a few more legendaries (Unova does not need two sets of minor legends. Give the swords to Kalos)
>>
>>58919213
Why would it kill a narrative if the narrative is based on the truth?
>>
>>58919234
It evidently was rushed. They had way more planned and the development documents from the leaks showed us how rushed it was
>>
>>58919277
I honestly think this should've bad a secret portion. The music was too great to be used once.

So you just admitted defeat? Cool.
>>
>>58919950
then how come xy has no good ideas
>>
>>58919950
do you understand that something designed as a whole from the start becomes objectively lacking when you pick it apart?
>>
>>58919508
It's not like they cut it because they didn't want to include it, they cut it because they were saving it for an upper version, then said upper version didn't happen because SM's development was a nightmare. That's not how things normally used to go, although during that era cutting content from the base game to resell as DLC wasn't exactly unusual either. Regardless, the way it happened and the rationale used in internal documentation says it was about rushing the game out compared to either not wanting it at all or a hardware or legal limitation.
>>
>>58919969
Yes, which is why good products like XY aren’t designed whole from the start, and instead they brainstorm ideas for the game at the beginning and throw away the crappy ones while iterating on it. Glad you agree.

Yes they did.

Yeah, we know you admitted defeat. Thanks for admitting it.
>>58920012
Sorry Yawnie. The teraleak happened. Your cope about fanfiction doesn't apply here.
>>
>>58920028
>Yeah, we know you admitted defeat
No, it seems like only you did, since you parroted yourself.

>The teraleak happened
Which is how I know you’re making up fanfics.

I loved alpha sapphire, I may not care about the fairy type, and I love all the new pokemon it brought.

Aurorus is so adorable I wanna cuddle her.

I, too, would love to forget Sword/Shield exist but I can't.
>>
I can't believe we're closer to Kalos remakes than we were when Kalos was released. I legit think Z-a should have been southern Kalos. Unless they decide to ditch the remakes and put Kalos games on Switch 2?
>>
>>58920052
>trainer customization
irrelevant feature that only exists to satisfy agp driven delusions
>giving the pokemon actual animations and personalities
they did that in the stadium games, orre games, and battle revolution, and the pokemon have way more personality in them compared to xy where they stand around doing nothing for 99% of the battle
>making the pokemon more interactable
it was just a gimmick to justify sylveon's existence
>iterating on previous content like berries and fishing and triple/rotation battles to give them more depth instead of lazily cutting them
nobody used berry farming and triples/rotations were filler. also they cut the wifi tower in xy
>adding horde battles and super training and passive shared EXP to make EV training less tedious
it's not any less tedious than in prior generations
>changing destiny knot to take breeding less tedious
it's not any less tedious than in prior generations
>having more variety in the gameplay of the routes/maps
unova has seasons, repeated playthroughs have variety depending on what season it is
>nerfing poorly balanced mechanics like dragon type, gems, and weather hidden abilities
yeah but they also added the fairy type, megas, and broken hidden abilities such as protean and gale wings which were arguably worse
>being able to see and quickly interact with all your online friends
bw also had that in the c-gear

everything xy does, games prior did better. xy is a fucking nothingburger

Glad you agree XY is a toddler tier game.

Reading about the development of this game really made me sad. What originally started out as a fascinating futuristic region turned into France tourism just because they got the foreign travel bug. If I were to put a clear demarcation line where GF lost their way, it would be here. Obviously there were questionable to bad design decisions in games that came before, but this is where they decided to just phone the franchise in and make everything a tourist destination. Shauna is hot, though.

role playing in a rpg is extremely relevant

role playing in a rpg is more than a gimmick

yes it is

which add nothing to the game

no it didn't

The problem is they were too bare bones. One post game side quest, one dungeon, and one town. It took me 60 hours to 100% XY. Every other gen before it was 100+.

>The problem is they were too bare bones. One post game side quest, one dungeon, and one town
yeah games do tend to be barebones when you arbitrarily ignore 99% of the content in the game
