/vp/ didn't condition anons to hate xy, it was the discord raiders that cry about every other generation to try to make gen6 look better. They're what makes gen6 so hated on this board
XY feels thoroughly unfinished and has the most forgettable region, but it's still one of the best-looking 3DS games and nowhere near as bad as DiaPer or SWSH.
story makes no sense, gen 7 proves they had more planned for zygarde, and the power plant door everyone memes about
there's also the total lack of postgame content outside of one (1) battle facility and the friend safari, but to be fair that seems to be an intentional shift in development priorities since the only post-XY games with a proper postgame were ORAS and USUM, and both have less content than what we got in Platinum or HGSS
>gen 7 proves they had more planned for zygarde
yeah…which is why they put it in gen 7. I don’t see what this has to do with gen 6. Unless you also want to argue Emerald is unfinished because they planned more with the regis or Platinum is unfinished because they planned more with Arceus.

lysandre is moronic and his plan makes no sense
at least cyrus, another terrible villain, is SUPPOSED to be a moronic misanthrope
we're supposed to think lysandre is cool and smart until the "reveal" that he's actually the leader of the evil team that shares his exact color scheme, but then we find out his idea for a perfect world is to kill everyone except for the worthless subhumans he went out of his way to recruit
how does this make sense?

because mega evolution trivializes everything before the credits, so the least they could do is add some challenging content that uses it in an interesting way

The world doesn’t have enough resources so he’s reducing the population so there are enough resources. His plan is incredibly simple to understand.
> you don't think maybe the Z pokemon was intended for a Z game?
Wow anon you’re right gen 5 is unfinished because the grey Pokemon was never in a grey game. It sure hurts being an autistic patterngay.
> WHY IS IT THERE
To process energy. The game literally explains what all three power plants are for if you actually bothered to explore the optional parts of the game instead of b***hing that the game doesn’t have enough optional parts to explore.
> they could do is add some challenging content
The Battle Maison is literally infinitely replayable challenging content. What you’re actually asking for is more piss easy routes with nothing but shitty trainers on them that you never have a reason to revisit after you clear them just like DPPt and BW/BW2’s “””””postgame””””.

His selection process for the survivors was to single out the people who are LEAST likely to share resources.

Literally everyone doesn’t share resources. That’s his entire problem.
>lysandre: I hate the greed in society, that's why I exclusively recruited greedy people to be the ones to survive the end of the world that I will create
Unironically Platinum’s story climax makes less sense than XY’s and I’m tired of people pretending otherwise >Giratina kidnaps Cyrus because it’s angry at him for endangering the dimensions, which threatens both our world and its own >this creates a rift that will distort the dimensions, eventually leading to the destruction of our world and its own >Giratina could close the rift if it wanted to, it just chooses not to
Giratina’s plan to stop the destruction of both worlds is to create a portal that will destroy both worlds. Genius. Never let them know your next move.
you're not wrong about XY's plot making more sense because it's just a rich butthole and his rich club turning on a super weapon.
But I don't remember the part about giratina destroying the world with a portal. Cut that out and it makes sense, if you can accept the person leading them is a bizarre magically non functioning human (no emotion is impossible and doesn't make sense without magic)

>it's just a rich butthole and his rich club turning on a super weapon
the problem is that the rich butthole's self-professed motivation is that he hates greed and selfishness, and yet his goal is still to kill everyone EXCEPT the people he handpicked specifically for being greedy and selfish
it's not just hypocrisy, it's stupid

his plan is an expression of his hate for those that took advantage of him. It's not about doing the right thing, it's about getting even
Platinum’s story sucks because like this post mentioned it’s mostly a series of excuses to justify the boring glorified strength puzzle that was the distortion world. They also ruined Cyrus’s character by making him into a whiny b***h rather than him actually committing to the objective emotionless bit he had in DP, dropping the larp earlier at Celestic town so braindead kids would immediately understand that he’s supposed to be a hypocrite.

The thing people are kind of forgetting about Lysandre is that he basically is misinterpreting selfish, ignorant rich kids buying their way in as “conviction.” He offers the player a means of surviving in the new world and commends their conviction despite the fact that you never actually pledge funding to him. The guy literally sees the flare grunts throwing money at him as their personal sacrifice to live in the new world.
I dont think these games were bad, they were just so average and forgettable.
Off the top of my head I could barely even list the towns and cities, all I remember is a kino tree-clock town but I feel that part of the game was so rushed I truly appreciated it.
No, I think they're forgettable because they were devoid of any meaningful story that stood out to me.
I did play the game twice as I was gifted Y a few years later after playing X and yet I still remember barely anything.
I'd rather have played a Z version, you try to make out this is some kind of scam but as has already been pointed out in this thread the game was clearly meant for more.
> No, I think they're forgettable because they were devoid of any meaningful story
Yes, that’s every Pokemon game. Which you remember more when you’re forced to play the same game multiple times.

So after Gen 5 tried to tone things back a bit we are right back to "lets destroy the entire world" with Gen 6, a trop so tired by this point that it's laughable.
No wonder I barely remebered it, it's just a shittier Gen 4.

If you think X and Y are complete games then you must be very delusional or have never touched a game outside of Pokemon -_-
Every other 3DS game I've played has substantially less content than XY except for maybe Smash Bros 4.

You only think it’s “forgettable” because Game Freak didn’t scam you into playing the same game twice.
No, I think they're forgettable because they were devoid of any meaningful story that stood out to me.
