This, I like the game in general, not entirely sure the hate is justified in most cases.

Super easy to reset EVs. The EV reduction berries suck in comparison.

The new Kalos pokemon were pretty much solid the whole way through and I gained some favorites from this dex. Gens 2-5 didn't enchant me nearly as much, and I have to wonder if it was such a good idea to jam-pack every area of Kalos with so many previous gen pokemon.

>>29578942
Amie was a fun idea, if not perfectly implemented.
Contrary to others, I actually enjoyed ORAS's postgame, counting Delta Episode. The DexNav was a great way to keep the interest of players like me that prefer collecting to actually battling.

>>29578942
I liked a good amount of the music, except for XY's gym leader theme. Seriously though, I know that the point of the thread is supposed to be praising Gen 6, but the Gym Leader theme was fucking horrid. But anyway:

>>29579156
I liked the gym leader, but the build up was too long, and there was a high chance that the battle was already over by the time you got to the good part.

Mega Evolutions are a good idea. They are not as well executed as they could have been, but the idea is solid.

Character customization: this is something people wanted in the Pokemon games for *years* and we finally got it.

Pretty good Pokemon overall. There's nothing in the Kalos dex that I particularly dislike.

Amie and Super Training are two things I think are way overdue in the series as well. They give you ways to interact with your Pokemon outside of battles and turn two tedious things into fun minigames. And best of all, they're still optional. If you want to raise happiness and EVs the old fashioned (and probably much faster) way, have at it.

The battles. They look great and easily the best they've ever looked in the series. It's just a shame about the washed out colors and frame drops.

Only xy was a bad experience for me. I love ORAS
ignoring universal changes to gen 6 overall.(pss, super training, breeding changes, amie etc)

XY

friend safari, customization, chateau for money farming and the audino ladies, and that's honestly it

ORAS

Dexnav....Dear lord everything that Dexnav does.
Trainer rebattles
E4 actually having a hard mode unlike XY(cheatu aside)
E4 actually using megas
Soaring so I don't waste a slot on fly
Mirage spots are cool
Ost being leagues better than XY
Hidden base friends and their benefits
Delta episode was fun
Wally being a surprisingly great rival
All the various legends to catch and not fucking shiny locked
Battle resort tutors
Battle resort music options
Battle resort daycare
Battle resort stats judge
Battle resort bike loop
Battle resort being a perfect paradise for breeding in general

...Did I mention dexnav is one of the best things GF has ever done?

>>29579261
Dexnav is great, but wasn't flawless. Fucking caves, fucking Shoal Cave where they're at the other end of a surfing section.

I was extremely let down by the theme.

I liked how kalos had a lucario trainer who had two lucarios and then gives you a free lucario and then you go to the lucario tower to learn how lucario was the first mega evolution while gazing upon a lucario statue and later have a mega evolution battle with mega lucario vs mega lucario to see which lucario is the best.

>>29578942
Berry farming was fun with its crossbreeding

Region was fun
Pokemon were nice
Legendaries were cool
Amie, Customisation, PSS, Super Training

I really liked X/Y, I don't know why people hate it so much. It was a touch easy and it did feel a little bit rushed/like too much had been crammed into the beginning and then forgotten halfway through but other than that it's fine.

Anon the buildup is not the issue. It's everything afterwards that's a fucking disaster. A gym match theme should make me feel hyped and intense not apathetic.

>>29579156
Yeah it's even worse than the original DpPt gym theme. At least that one had a good base, it just needed more energy, but XY doesn't fit at all with the energetic tone that every other theme has.
I also like megas IN CONCEPT. But in practice they are the worst gameplay change of the whole series. I hope they give it another shot one day tho.

>>29579458

Oh yeah this too, Berry Farming was really fun.

Playing Eternal X now, Legal version.

It's incredible how much the lack of any challenge at all and gyms having almost placeholder tier shitmons affected my enjoyment of gen 6. I knew it bothered me but I didn't realize how much it ruined the games for me.
With the difficulty fixed (and then some, shit is hard) it's making me appreciate Kalos a lot more.

>>29579374
They beat in place quickly. Not the most efficient manner of flying, but it is a mutant form made by space rocks.

I thought the overall quality of the game was pretty good

I liked the idea of the multiple friends throughout your journey except they didn't really flex it out, otherwise I liked Tierno and ginger Shota

I like how Lysandere is more involved before his fight

Mega Evolution boogaloo and the search to find them was an adrenaline rush the first time everyone was trying to find as much as possible

>>29579094
And Phoxes
And Kung Fun Pancham
And Mega Fug
And Heliosilk
And Goomy

I liked the majority of XY's introduced Pokemon.

Customization was, of course, a great idea if a bit shallow initially.

Well-designed characters.

Mega Evolution giving otherwise forgotten Pokemon a chance.

We're given something of a deeper look into Pokemon history and somewhat of an overarching plot between XY and ORAS.

ORAS felt really good, especially the eastern half of Hoenn. And Soaring was great, too.

Generation six wasn't all that bad. Had its flaws, but so does every other Gen.

But anon,XY was the only good gen.

Having so many old pokemon too choose was a bless,can give two fucks about "new pokemon".

That being said, I'm one of those gf fanboys who would like gen 7 if it was litteral dogshit.

>>29578942
There's never been anything close to a bad main series game and Gen 6 has plenty of good things to offer.
Pokebank makes transfer of mons fairly easy for a reasonably low price.
Breeding changes were a step in the right direction though I'd like to get rid of bike simulation altogether.

>The battle frontier was cool I guess

Gen 6 is polarizing for me. I loved X/Y but hated OR/AS.

OR/AS is probably my least favorite Pokemon game of all time. I was never a fan of R/S/E or Hoenn in general and the remake was so easy. So, so easy - I'm shit at Pokemon and I burned through it.

It feels like I haven't had a Pokemon game since 2013, OR/AS just didn't gel with me at all.

>>29581222
Sorry, Im from the Berenstein universe where ORAS was slightly more finished.

>>29581230
Wow, are you me. Although in my case I played a shit ton of emerald.

>>29578942
Best designs

Comfiest region

Good soundtrack

Amie

Butthurt Dragonfags

Some nice lines such as Delphox, Florges, Gogoat, Pangoro, Malamar, Dragalge, Trevenant

Buffing my bros Clefairy and Granbull by making them Fairy type.

Moves like Flying Press, Freeze Dry, Mystical Fire, Nuzzle,

Sky battles because fuck you, I like battles that have stupid stipulations like this.

Mechanically, a lot improved. I did have fun breeding 'mons and playing with friends.

XY

I thought secret bases were a disaster, then I found the QR codes for 12 triple-lvl-100 Blissey teams. Now it's three fresh lvl 100s daily for twenty minutes of daily work. Not even worried about breeding IV's anymore with SM training on the way. I'm happy with the remakes now.

>>29582173
>Not even worried about breeding IV's anymore with SM training on the way
This so much. I finally dont have to autistically worry about another variable with breeding. Plus a lot of my bros I caught in the wild can just be boosted/ability capsuled to competitive status.

>>29579024
This.

I also liked the idea of Mega Evos for pokemon that already had a second/third stage that were actually shit, but on stuff like Bannette I feel they could've just made it an evolution.

And Mawile making it into Uber when I figured my favorite would be relegated to shit status for life was pretty great.

>>29582173
>>29582271
Wait until they make bottle caps ridiculously rare to the point you will have to grind a battle facility for an entire day to get one, and then don't replace Blissey bases with anything and the E4 ends at Level 60. This is so breeding can still be "balanced and rewarding".

It's just like GF to introduce a feature everyone wants and then shitting on it to the point no one wants it anymore.

>>29578942
I don't know...XP share was way way to easy to abuse. Amie was really good especially for giving your mon's the ability to dodge hits and land crits better.

in ORAS the devNAV was a godsend.. Really hope Sun/Moon carries on with that.

>in ORAS the devNAV was a godsend.. Really hope Sun/Moon carries on with that.
Don`t worry anon, I`m sure they will. Here, let`s ask Ohmori-san!

Ohmori-san, a lot of players greatly enjoyed features introduced in the previous 3DS games, like the DexNav. How are you planning on iterating on these features, and how do you decide how to best improve them for the next games?
>I mentioned earlier, but this is the first time I've worked as the director for an entirely new generation of Pokémon, so I really had a desire to build a new game from scratch while working closely with scratch. And because introducing a new director is kind of a momentous occasion, I really wanted to use the occasion to rebuild or reexamine some things. I think trials in place of gyms is one example of that; introducing Z-Moves is also another thing. These are things I put in the game because I wanted to focus on Pokémon as living creatures, and I think these are two elements that will help express that. But just like the Pokémon themselves, each game should have their own characteristics. So it's less about looking at past games and seeing what went well or what went poorly, it's more just looking at each project as its own new thing and determining what we want to do and how we can accomplish it.

O-oh. Thanks for your time!

>>29579156
I have a small feeling that the Successor Korrina version of the Gym Leader theme was composed first and then gutted afterwards for the main Gym battles.

>>29582337
EXP. All as it was was far too much, I agree. Turned it off ASAP once I realized how ridiculous it was and edited my pokemon levels in PKHex to a few levels below the then current area.

I thought Amie was too OP, to be honest. I really, really liked being able to play with my mons and get that "sense" of building a relationship with them, and the little messages and grateful pats after winning battles was out-fucking-standing, but the 1.2 EXP was a bit much and the crit ratio boost was ridiculous.

I also was never sure how to feel when reading pokemon like Fug "looks like it might cry..."

Pokemon designs were great for the most part.

Most of the new mechanics and changes in XY were good. PSS was a huge improvement from gen 4 and 5 but could use some work.

Ending of XY always gives me chills. Story wasn't that good, but the ending is great.

ORAS was a nostalgia trip since my first game was Sapphire. Almost everything about it is better. And DexNav of course.

Overall pretty solid generation. If gen 7 makes the necessary tweaks, it could become the best generation to date.

>>29582915
>Ending of XY always gives me chills. Story wasn't that good, but the ending is great.
I forget, is there something after the league? I'm drawing a blank here. I bought X and OR at the same time and moved into OR pretty much right after the Looker quest.

>>29578942
I hated ORAS, it's a boring game and it's sorely missing the additions from Emerald

I loved XY because of customization and the gigantic main game dex, and I'm fine with the low number of Pokemon because I like all of them except the starters, unlike in gen 5 where a lot of the mons were bland expies of gen 1 mons

gen 6 has the weakest soundtrack by far IMO

>>29582975
How can annyone like not having new pokemon?

>>29583020
People who liked XY's dex are genwunners who want to catch and see the same old pokemon in every game and milk them to the death instead of having new ones

>>29583020
Not that guy, but I think I can explain without sperging buzzwords.
Lets mock compare Unova and Kalos.
Lets say that in Unova I liked 6 lines and in Kalos I liked all the new pokémon.
That would make Kalos's dex better for me.

Game Serena, not even a waifufag.
Also the delta episode.

>>29583151
How is a dex having less new pokemon better?
There's no reason to buy a new pokemon game if it's not for the new pokemon anyway

>>29583217
I prefer 60 well designed mons over 150 shitty ones.

>>29583266
I prefer having more new pokemon,because that's the appeal of the game in the first place.
All the pokemon are well designes anyway,you're just spoiled.

>>29583293
No.

>>29583357
Yes,fuck off genwun.

I WANT TO USE NEW POKEMON BECAUSE IT'S FUN.

It does hurt you? because i'm using pyukumuku or aegilash instead of rattata or pidgey?

>>29583403
Jesus can't you make an argument without shitflinging? Look at it this way: imagine a game introduces 100 new pokemon, but I only like 30 of them. The other 70 will never be part of my team, to me they might as well not exist. Now imagine a game that introduces only 50 new pokemon, but I like every single one of them and will use them all across different runs. Can you not see how I would prefer the latter?

>>29578942
>what were things that you LIKED about XY and ORAS?
Most things, really. There isn't a lot I didn't like, aside from the hardcore casualization and railroading, like Wally forcing you across the entire fucking region immediately after the 5th gym.

>>29583639
But with the exception of obvious base stat or move power advantages, your preferences are subjective.

>>29579147
>Contrary to others, I actually enjoyed ORAS's postgame, counting Delta Episode. The DexNav was a great way to keep the interest of players like me that prefer collecting to actually battling.
This. DexNav got me interested in actually catching pokemon, and giving a higher shiny rate to chained pokemon was a genius idea. Got a Zorua and Swablu very quickly using that.
I hope DexNav is back in Sun and Moon.
