One of my favorite gems, believe it or not. Except for the desert section and difficulty.

It's got Hawlucha, so that automatically makes it a fantastic gen

The new Pokmon were pretty cool and I actually liked the new region (except navigating the circular city in the center).

Also they should have followed up on the Inverse Battles.

The fact that Zygarde would've made the perfect Pokemon to center a story around makes it worse. And worse than that is the fact that its complete form introduced in Sun/Moon was clearly meant to be its mega evolution.

I found Y boring, but it's possible I didn't give it a fair chance because I was rushing through it to be able to play UM

Something they came up with to try to hide that they withheld a mega.

The region and the Pokemon were fantastic. Mega's are also an awesome addition.

The characters and story are terrible though. Also there was absolutely no build up to The Champion of the E4. It was literally just your mom's friend.

The group of dumbass supporting characters from that entry cemented it as the worst in the series for me. They could not have chosen a worse way to pad the game with unnecessary, annoying, unskippable cutscenes.

Gen 6 really suffered for basically having so many little things that would have been great with more detail or a more polished version.

The rival actually being upset that they keep losing to you would have been great if it actually lead to something, but it never went anywhere (not even as little as Hop did in Sw/Sh). All of the other characters had like one bit of personalization that should have gone farther, but didn't. Either that or 2 of them needed to be gone, and they could have actually focused on giving Shauna something to do.

Skipping cutscenes would make literally every game since XY much better though.

We haven't had a definitive pokemon since Platinum. All I want is a pokemon game as wild and crazy as Emerald or Fire Red in terms of extra content after the main game

I never played X/Y, but I'd argue the same thing for Sword/Shield. The idea of the 4-person rival squad (you, Hop, Marnie, and Bede) was actually pretty cool. But other than Hop, they did so little with Marnie and Bede, and both were characters that I found interesting. Bede particularly could have had some very interesting arcs, but they pretty much ended his halfway through. Marnie could have used a more climactic final moment, what we got was kinda boring considering the "Team" of the game was entirely focused on her.

except navigating the circular city in the center).


people's games crashed early on for the unlucky if they did certain things within that circular city. they released a patch to fix it sometime later.

played X at launch.
