What went right

>>336497801
EV and IV training wasn't a bitch to do.

Other then that the single player game was rushed as fuck, I mean the first half of the game has 3 gym leaders, then the last half is gym leader after gym leader and elite 4 with the legendary encounter tossed in at some point.

And it would have helped if the gyms were somewhat hard
>>
The pokemon models are really good. That's it.

They aren't even colored right, everything looks faded and sunbleached. There are like no vibrant colors on anything

Character customization
Super training
breeding overhauls
The fact it didn't shy away from throwing a lot of pokemon at you even early on

Lysandre

That's typical for a Pokemon game if you're an adult and have played them before. You can easily finish the older ones in well under 10 hours, though I will admit XY is longer due to padding and overly long dialogue and whatnot.

>>336501586
The hardware limitations are much greater for the 3ds and it having the orchestrated ost was really good sounding. Even Coliseum and XD's OSTs, as good as they sound, have kind of an aged sound in the recording. Plus best battle themes I've heard in a while.
The big city level (can't remember name, one with eiffle tower) looked cool, it came off as very European metropolitan with the cafes and whatnot. That and the Cliffside beach city were kinda pretty.
>>

I actually wont even fucking consider pokmen sun and moon if it doesn't have clothes.

Made breeding actually remotely viable, improvements in multiplayer connections, the roster of new Pokemon was alright, and Mega Evolutions and Amie are pretty cool.

Otherwise, it was a mess.

Coarser the following:
From a competitive standpoint, 6th gen was fantastic for getting and breeding pokemon
From a casual perspective, gen 6 and 6.5 were pretty bad compared to others

>>336501989
as great as you might think they sound, they are extremely generic and don't sound like pokemon in the slightest

The overworld tracks in XY are fine, but the battle themes are the worst in the series. The only good one is the Gym Leader theme but it doesn't sound like it belongs in a Pokemon game.
>>
>>336502285
Guess i won't be playing it then.
Trainer customization was the only thing that even drove me to finish pokemon x.
>>
>>336497801
Good online features only a bottom screen touch away. A greater acknowledgement of competetive play by making breeding and ev training even easier and hosting online events. Amie's really appealing and made the move to 3D models worth it. The models themselves are future-proof for later hardware and can see many revisions. The new pokemon while few are great. Love Phantump, Pumpkaboo, Noivern and Sylveon.

Pokemon Sun/Moon better have a lot more options for customization and your pokemon better fucking follow you around. its bullshit that the last pokemon game to do this was fucking HG/SS

It's pretty on part for a jrpg plot, I'll give it that
>generic villain who doesn't even take advantage of his power and leverage
He used his jet pack and Doc Oct arms for literally no reason, like it would make him stronger. Lysander is a fucking jobber if I've ever seen one. Team Galactic seemed much more threatening and capable.
>>
>>336502752
Following was cool at first but by the end of HGSS it just annoyed me. It's one of the four reasons I tend to replay Crystal instead of HGSS.

If it ever comes back, it better be optional.

>>336502807
He wasn't BONDS enough with his Pokemon to use Mega Evolution so he had to use the dococ arms to force the energy.

I played Pokemon Red on a phone emulator with 2X speed turned on and beat it within 24 hours.

Kalos Route 17/18 is one of my favorite tracks in the game, I thought it sounded really good. The fact they didn't use the same annoying instruments all the time like 4th gen or water trumpets because the hardware could do it was also a better than other gens.

Trainer customization. Lysandre was interesting enough as far as Pokemon antagonists go. Ethnic cleansing is always fun to think about. Good music. I liked the rollerblades.
>Bad
All the handouts annoyed me. There weren't enough new Pokemon. Sycamore is an idiot. Way too easy and short. Lumiose City gave me a headache. The Maison is a really boring postgame. Too much effort and time needed for the Writs of Challenge. The Elite 4 were complete scrubs. Diantha doesn't do anything cool. Team Flare was a bunch of whiny kids hanging on to Lysandre because they didn't have anything better to do. AZ was underutilized. I felt nothing in that postgame battle with him because his role was so miniscule and his backstory was given through a book rather than interaction with him. Overall it was extremely underwhelming and a waste of my money and time.

>>336503843
That's just his goal in Y, kill everyone who aren't him and his followers, so they can rebuild the world from the ground up in an ideal way. In X he just wants to make him and his followers immortal so they can be eternal rulers and lead the world to an ideal state. The real issue with his plan is that his way of measuring the competence of his followers is whether they can afford the fee to join, expecting the people to join to have made the money themselves through skill and hard work, but instead he just brought in a ton of incompetent trust fund kiddies.

The Kanto starters and Lucario didn't feel earned to me. You got most of your handout pokemon after you did something worthwhile in Gen I at least.
>You saved us all from Team Rocket! Here, have a Lapras
>You managed to beat all of us buff guys! Here, choose a Hitmon

Lysandre was spouting his insane rhetoric in front of Sycamore and his reaction was to praise Lysandre for being so great.

X and Y were insultingly easy. Why does no one have a full team except for Diantha?
>>
Come to think of it, I actually assumed Lysander was the big bad the whole time. I didn't think it was supposed to be a secret until nobody believed you when you found out.
>>
>>336505873
>why does no one have a full team except for Diantha

Same applies to BW1, BW2. No one but the final bosses and BW2 Ghetsis have a full team of six in those for maingame. No Gym Leaders had more than three either.
>>
>>336505873
>>You saved us all from Team Rocket! Here, have a Lapras
You don't save "all from Team Rocket" considering you are halfway through the dungeon. You go into a room and get given a Lapras because it's a rare Pokemon and it's better in your hands than TR. Really worthwhile yeah.
Not to mention the free starters in Yellow.
You have to beat a Gym and then the Gym Leader twice to get the Lucario.
You are given a Eevee for free for talking to a guy. Really worthwhile yeah.

>X and Y were insultingly easy. Why does no one have a full team except for Diantha?
Have you actually played Pokemon? Outside those 2 or 3 exceptions in any given game, NO ONE but the Magikarp guys and the Champions have a full team.

His list is overall shit, but DP really does get too much shit. It's probably the best set of games that isn't an updated rerelease of some form. The only real problems with it are the godawful surf speed, but at least Sinnoh doesn't need you to surf much, and the regional dex is a tad lacking, though that at least resulted in a few interesting NPC teams.

Otherwise it's the only first of a generation with a decent postgame and the region itself is pretty good.
