>So let me get this straight... you LIKE X and Y?Yes.>Despite the desaturated and poorly animated 3D models!?Yes.>Despite it missing the 20 mega evolutions that were introduced in ORAS!?Yes.>Despite the easy difficulty and all the gift Pokemon!?Yes.>Despite the terrible story and lame characters!?Yes.>Then why do you like it!?Because it was the last time it was truly Pokemon.
>>59526795Anyone have the link to that youtube review of xy? The one that describes the berry farm as "low effort jeet shit"? That review had sovl.
>>59526795if it has all of those faults, what makes sun and moon any less pokemon than it? i could see the case for saying gen 8+ was when it wasn't truly pokemon, or even 6+, 4+, or 3+, but saying the transition between 6 to 7 specifically is where pokemon wasn't pokemon any more doesn't really make sense to me.
It has the PSS. X and Y clear.
I liked XY until I got a shiny charmander in Safari zone, caught it, then trying to save the game crashed it and I lost it, then I stopped playing.I think this was the turning point for me, I have not actually completed any newer Pokemon game since, picked a few up and just been utterly disgusted by most of them.
>>59526843yea, im not sure either. gen 7 at least felt more like an attempt and has extra pokemon. what doesnt OP like about it? z moves? regional forms? the island challenge? cutscenes is the only reasonable thing i can think of, since you at least spend more time actually playing XY instead of mashing A through cutscenes (I played sun and moon again on an emulator and sped the game up whenever there were cutscenes, and it still took a few seconds to get through it all despite it being on 500% speed. it's ridiculous). it can't be the multiplayer either, that's dead. im really at a loss here
>>59526843>>59526863>>59526870actually i did forget about about the pss loss, that was pretty significant. rotom dex is a huge detriment for them too. however, i do prefer gen 7 slightly, and any differences they have are marginal compared to gen 7-8
>>59526865You genuinely sound like a crybaby. I imagine you quit other things you once enjoyed for very poor reasons.
>>59526795I was never a big fan of XY, but with the loss of both PSS and Bank, playing through it for a handful of exclusive mons for SM/USUM it feels really creepy. Almost like a dead MMO. Gotta love randomly being asked to WonderTrade in 2026.
>>59526795Being less bad than the stuff that came after doesn't make something good.
>>59526795XY is better than the games after itBUTit is worse than the games before it.
>>59527056>oras>sun and moonthe two games immediately after it are objectively better in every way thoughAnd even the games following it are still worse then everything that came before. there's no reason to play anything besides black and white 2 really
>>59526795I mean, they should just port them to Switch 2, with like QoL improvements and proper post-game.
>>59527027You're right. XY is just good period.
>>59527056>it is worse than the games before it.Not really. It's better than Gen 5 and most of Gen 4.
>>59526795>Because it was the last time it was truly Pokemon.nope that was gen 2 gold and silver (NOT crystal) and x and y was one of the most dogshit games ever made.
>>59527056Imagine being in a literal sandwich where the game that came BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER are worse than XY
>>59526795XY was the first time I felt hollow after beating it. That's it? Was pretty much my reaction. I coped about it being the first full 3D game and Z version fixing it but for some God forsaken reason this was the only gen where they didn't make and enhanced re-release despite it needing it more than any other one. Kalos was done dirty.
>>59527130>XY was the first time I felt hollow after beating itI got that with BW. With XY I played for hundreds of hours after beating it.
>>59526863So did ORAS, despite that game's numerous issues it's still better than XY because it was built on a much stronger base.
>>59526795It was alright. Gen 6 is definitely the weakest generation though
>>59526795ok no one actually shitting on Anon for being a retard and forgetting ORAS came out LATER than XY?>Despite missing the megas that were invented later?Yeah, no shit Sherlok
>>59527132>I played for hundreds of hours after beating it.So did I but partially out of obligation and partially because they made grinding for competitive mons significantly easier for the first time, so I felt compelled to grind for some. I also remember exchanging friend codes on here for the friend safari, which was pretty neat. Oh and also Bank being free for the first month lit a fire under my ass to try and complete the national dex for the first time, which I succeeded in.
>>59527136XY is better because it has trainer customization.
>>59527156Not if you're playing the male character.
>>59527171Yes if you’re playing the male character.
>>59527182Nah, there's fuck all options for the male character. Change clothes like once then forget about the feature all together after that, real impactful there, bud.
>>59527192There’s plenty of options for the male character though.
>>59526795>So let me get this straight... you LIKE X and Y?No it was the easiest games and boring
>>59527207How is it any easier than the previous games
>>59527214Exp Share was changed to give 100% experience to battle participants instead of splitting it in half.You're given a lot of extremely powerful handouts.Most trainers don't have Mega Evolution.O-Powers that let you boost stats, experience gain, or money for practically free.You can challenge any random player to a battle or initiate a trade literally everywhere, including in the Elite Four(healing your party to full).
>>59527214they made it way easier
>>59527229Thank fuck ZA fixed the mega balance by making every boss use it after you get it.
>>59527214Replay Fire Red/Leaf Green then ask that again. Lorelei is my big wall usually.
>>59527233Too bad for the rest of the game.
>>59527229And? How does this make it any easier than the previous games?>>59527235>Replay Fire Red/Leaf GreenI did. Where’s the harder part?
>>59527239The difference between your gif and doing the same in XY is, that in the latter you can have a full party of overleveled pokemon instead of just one.
>>59526795Gen 6 introduced the troon type so it was a net negative for Pokemon as a whole by default.
>>59526795Xy were great questionable plot aside, I’m still saddened we didn’t get southern Kalos considering rollerskates made traversing areas faster and fun and ride Pokémon (while gimmicky and sparse) added another layer of worldbuilding to Kalos.
>>59527239Quiet Kojo. The adults are talking.
>>59527292Nta but that’s because XY doesn’t even try to be balanced, the balance in Swsh and SV is fine
>>59527292So? Battles are 1v1.
>>59527098legendary troll
>>59527318legendary non-argument
>>59527323oh shit i guess i killed the troll if i pointed it out my bad. i just had to compliment the bait to be honest
>>59526811>can someone post my youtube video for mekwab
>>59526795Any time someone complains about the 3D Pokemon, I wonder if they've actually played the 3DS games on a real device. Or if they're just staring at the Bulbapedia sprite catalogue. XY and SM models were well done. The whole 3D anime style was accepted as a refreshing update. New Pokemon designs were surprisingly popular, and the affection/refresh system made them more life-like than even the battle focused Stadium series. Art direction is part of why both XY and SM got high marks on release.The revisionism is crazy. >>59526795>Then why do you like it!?I liked XY because the visual design, battle system and pvp were the best we've had so far. Games haven't improved enough imo. Even ZA Lumiose City could be more detailed.
>>59527235>Lorelei is my big wall usuallyThe “people who bitch about XY being too easy are actually just really dogshit at pokemon games” theory holds more true each day
>>59527574Her whole team having exclusively water and ice attacks makes it really hard.
SwSh was at least funny bad, XY are the worst games for just being straight up trash
>>59527446 The 3DS games chugged in battle, which they absolutely should never do given that it's just 2 models and some sprites being displayed.
>>59527446>Games haven't improved enough imo. Even ZA Lumiose City could be more detailed.Dude ZA’s Lumiose forgot shit that was in the ORIGINAL Lumiose. Trainer PR video studio, Pokémon amie, Lumiose press, super training, all of these were either outright forgotten or was hastily referenced in a textbox because they couldn’t be fucked to implement it
>>59527661>The 3DS games chugged in battle,No they didn't.
>>59527673The main cause for performance dips was from Horde Battles I think, but these were less common.
>>59527673Now show a triple battle.
