I can see your reasoning, so I will not get angry. Everyone is allowed to have opinions, as long as they do not cause any harm (physical or emotional) to other people. I personally like sword and shield because it is fun to replay and try out different team combinations. For X and Y, I haven't gotten very far (currently stuck on Olympia, but SD card is acting up) but I definitely get the appeal. I'm sorry if I've taken up too much of your time. Please respect others.
