Because I’m just built different, I replayed Gen 6 in the time after this interaction (Y, specifically), I would solidly rank it as my 4th favorite generation, behind 5, 4, and 7, in that order. And that’s nothing against Gen 6, there’s just a lot of really strong pokemon games.
To sort of clarify my thoughts, Gen 6 is where I feel pokemon first started a sort of “two steps forward, one step back” sort of improvement, which is really why I have such mixed feelings about it.
Oh wow, you started and beat Y already? Impressive! I’m such a filthy casual. 🙇
In the least condescending way, everything Gen 6 and after is basically just easy mode compared to the past games, especially since I wasn’t doing any sort of a challenge run.
Also, I wasn’t going for side content since I’ve seen it all multiple times, and the main story is only like 6-7 hours if you already know what you’re doing.
Add onto that the fact that I’m currently in online college, which gives me tons of free time, and the fact I caught a 2 week ban from league of legends, playing through Y was a fun side thing when I wasn’t doing something else.
My desires to self insert in those cutscenes with Shauna are, admittedly, a large source of bias for me in favor of X
The Gen 6 characters are really fun, no contest there
