I'm sorry, I just liked XY a lot more than the SM games...

It alright but don't write shit like it is a fact.
Also:
>XY are better games than XY
>proceeds to say XY got a better anime
>Shauna being a good character
>Lysandre had lots of (wasted) potential

Responding as someone who loves Generation VI.

>hordes were better
Debatable. The ability to use Adrenaline Orbs to force an SOS chain is a pretty solid improvement over the unpredictability of hordes, as is the fact that you can keep it going for longer. On the other hand, the fact that there's no good way to STOP Pokémon from calling for help is a definite minus.

>new unique battle types like inverse battles
Sun/Moon has Battle Royale. To be frank, I've never really cared that much about the alternate battle types, though.

>leveling up has never been easier
...is that a plus? I don't know, I don't feel like the actual numerical level I'm at is that important. I've really liked the leveling curve in Sun/Moon--combining the XY Exp Share with BW experience calculation was enius.

>better anime
A turd covered in rhinestones is still a turd.

>EVs were easier
Agreed, I really miss super training.

>Battle Maison, flawed, but alright
From what I've heard, Battle Tree isn't really that different.

>friend safaris oh god please bring them back
Agreed.

>rollar blades weren't that bad
"wasn't that bad" doesn't mean "was good." Frankly, the roller blades were unmemorable and a useless addition.

>mega fucking evolutions most hype shit jn the franchise
Agreed, I miss being hype about potential megas for bromons.

>serena and shauna
Eh. I feel like Chicken-chan has more customization than I could ever manage with Serena's appearance. Shauna was cute, admittedly.

>the game being easier allowed me to beat the games faster to get straight to competitive
The game being over faster is a minus for me. I like to actually enjoy the journey.

>cutscenes weren't intrusive
This was really only a problem on Melemele Island, but, god, it really is a slow start. Still, as the game progressed, I really appreciated how they used them to convey the story.

>lysandre had lots of potential
...none of which was executed on. If we accept "Lysandre had potential" as an argument for the merits of XY, then we have to also talk about how great the golf course in Sun/Moon is.

In fact, arguably, the fact that Lysandre had potential is an argument AGAINST XY. That potential was squandered. Team Flare ended up as one of the least logical villainous groups, and that's including Team "Hoenn Needs More Water" Aqua.

Lusamine executes on the potential of a beautiful, seemingly-benevolent scientist with world-changing ideas who just happens to be obsessive and self-absorbed. Lysandre utterly fails at it.

>it had a bicycle
Tauros is literally a bicycle with rock smash stapled to it, get your head out of your ass. Though the stupid outfit you have to wear for Pokéride is admittedly garbage

Oh yeah, I forgot
>no one path for breeding eggs meaning you have to potentially break your circle pad constantly going in a circle
Also the bike is faster. You have to hold B to get better speeds on tauros
