My main gripe with X&Y is that it has introduced a lot of newbie friendly features (new Exp. Share, free Kanto starter, Pokemon Amie and Super Training, etc) and forgot to balance it with an actual challenge. The games allow you to build a very diverse team before facing the second gym (which is fantastic, by the way), but you can't get any advantage from it because the gym leader has two Pokemon, and it never gets any better, even up to the Elite Four. Granted, that was kind of B&W's fault for reducing how many Pokemon Gym Leaders and Elite Fours can have, but it least it made sense back then due to how B&W was designed. That format most definitely does not work in X&Y.
Z can easily fix that by making each Gym Leader crazy hard, or have some unique strategies to them that require you to mix up you team to have a clear advantage (taking, well, advantage to the immense amount of Pokemon Kalos has to offer), or, at least, have more than three fucking Pokemon. I'm sure that with that change alone, Kalos could be a much better and memorable region.
With Sun and Moon coming out, I have doubts that it may actually happen, but with how much they've been setting up the whole thing about Zygarde back then, and the new season of the anime being XY and Z, maybe there's hope?
Amen.
Lynar was a really disappointing boss of a team. He was super threatening, but he's not even that GOOD. Amp it up TPC. I know kids who run circles around grown ups because of your super training. If you're going to make the focus of EV's stick better to have the whole Gym Leaders line up turnt up. Not even getting Mega stones unlocked is that big a deal. Also you shouldn't just GET a Lucario. You should get a Mega Stone for your starter. Also Z should have following Pokemon. Maybe open up the Safari Zone a bit make it more of like...a Safari Zone? Instead of friends having specific types why not keep that but have like special days where certain pokemon appear in different versions of your friends safari Zones I kinda miss the old Coffee House thing where you can find stuff and talk to people. Make it fun. You guys have the money! AND THE FREE TIME.
