XY can be best comparable to Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2, but in some ways was more tragic:
-Potentially good plot dealing with the spirits of the past's regret over the use of a destructive super weapon
-New "giant"/"mega" monsters/forms
-Both come out super half-baked with a pisspoor post-game
But in the end, Joker 2 got the amazing "Professional" Re-Release which was glorious. XY got... Nothing. Least it's evened out by Americans never getting to experience DQMJ2:PRO
I liked Megas, they just did what they always do and gave them to popular Pokemon rather than use them as a balancing tool to make irrelevant Pokemon better.
Like all the generations have their own sort of stat spread and gen 1 tended to be more well rounded with each generation creeping up the stat totals and making stats more specialized.
130-150 on any individual stat used to be reserved for top tier legendaries and now basically any old Pokemon has 130 in at least one stat.
Max out Attack, have something with Cosmic Power and Baton Pass set up defensive buffs...like, say, for instance, this Lopunny I have with Cosmic Power and Baton Pass.
