    So put simply what are your opinions on the most recent Pokemon titles? BW-ORAS specifically.

    BW - Didn't feel like a pokemon game but the story was incredible. Not any post-game which is disappointing but what is there is great!

    BW2 - It was starting to feel like pokemon again and the PWT was possibly the best thing ever! tbh looking at my 3DS Activity Log I can see that I've put in EXACTLY uh............... uh oh......... that's a lot of hours................. 123 hours, 3 mins.............! Team Plasma lost their charm though.

    XY - tbh quite honest, I HATED THEM. The games felt really rushed and generic and the pokemon roster only contained 79 new pokemon, of which only the Honedge line and Diancie were interesting. The only upside of these games was the introduction of mega evolution, but other than that, they were terribad.

    ORAS - YAY! GEN 6 IS SAVED! These great re-makes of the already great Ruby and Sapphire just dominate. It added an interesting roster of mega evolutions and included new story aspects that explain quite a few things and the primal evolutions are.........idk.....I haven't used them yet. The graphics got a much needed upgrade and the difficulty of the gym leaders was taken down a bit (for the better really, omg gen 3 leaders were hard).

    Hopes and dreams for the next game:

    This one will never happen but the ability to travel freely to all the regions would be cool (Skyarrow Bridge would look so cool in 3D.)
    More in depth evil team, y'know, something better than Team Flare.
    and.................
    EPIC NEW MEGA EVOLUTIONS! like..........
    Mega Skuntank
    Mega Cacturne
    Mega Likilicky
    Mega EEVEE!

    BW - Eh, it was OK. HG/SS were much better though.
    BW2 - A big improvement, one of my fave titles. Still not as good as HG/SS though.
    XY - Liked Mega Evolution, but it just felt half baked. Completed it once, then traded it in
    ORAS - Again, a big improvement. New Megas, lots of new features introduced to the original RS, interesting storyline and post game content. Still on the easy side, but then again it is primarily aimed at kids so that's to be expected.

    idk, when I was younger I kind of enjoyed the level grinding for gym leaders and E4, but maybe im just a bit weird. Seeing hoenn again brought back a lot of fun nostalgia tho.

    edit: also in terms of competitive the BW->B2W2 and XY and ORAS power creeps were disgusting as usual. knock off is really dumb too. Mega Scizor was a cool addition as a pivot tho. i still have no idea what this meta is lo!l
