Alright /vp/, I know you lot like to whine about Gen 6 and call it the worst generation to date but let's at least address which is the shinier of the two turds.
>XY Vs ORAS

I think ultimately X and Y is worse
But ORAS had higher expectations and that's why everyone shits on it more
Surprising absolutely no-one, ORAS wins by a landslide.
>>29366755
I enjoyed X and Y personally so I feel like it's better. My reason being is I knew what Hoenn was capable of and yet ORAS didn't deliver.
>>29366755
XY. ORAS at least had the benefit of being based on a decent game.
I don't really get the hate for X/Y. I think a vocal minority of /vp/ just hates new things and change.
>>29367008
If we hated change then we would love the hell out of XY and shit all over BW/BW2.
>>29366755
I like X and Omega Ruby. But if i had to say which is better I'd go with X.
I like ORAS better because of soaring and how convenient breeding is
>>29367008
I don't hate X and Y for being new
I hate X and Y for failing to be actually new

See Tierno and your rivals
Both are shit.
SM is good trough,

XY were way better. Nice looking locales, lovely palette and tiling choices, nice music, convenient shops and berry farming. The over world models were great and I really liked customization.
ORAS pissed me off so much partially because I was a huge fan of RSE. Removal of safari zone was shit. No berry blending. No game corner (although that's not surprising). Contests were shittier. Way too many cut scenes and railroading felt horrible. All an RSE remake needed was a nice update to special physical split with an expanded dex for the new Pokemon and it would have been fine. Personally ORAS was a huge disappointment.

I'm replaying x currently and I have to say I prefer it a little, mostly for the clothing and the actual region being new. the only time I didn't get annoyed by the tagalongs was in bw and Christ it's awful in this. Shauna doesn't bug me but the others do. I am enjoying ko'ing calem's pokemon when they force a double battle though.

There are the only really good games on the DS systems. All the rest are pretty lackluster. The 3ds games however are just plain lazy. 0 post game, the main story is way too easy, pokemon games have never been really hard but these new ones are so easy even a mentally handicapped person could finish them. Everything gets revealed before release now, no surprise factor. I just don't get my hopes up anymore. Sun and moon is going to be much of the same, it will be crammed with shitty fetch quests with dialog every 5 steps and hand holding all the way through, easy battles. Pokemon is JUST at the moment. Switch to 3d was a mistake, I would love a large region with lots of post game with Black2 white2 style graphics over a shitty 3ds game any day.

ORAS is the better game, unfortunately, it could have been so much more.
