Gen 7 is turning 10 next year. Maybe by then fans will begin to appreciate it more. It brought so much to the franchise, it's a shame the fans prefer the DS games and just gloss over Gen 7.
A lot of people praise B2W2 but really overlook SM and USUM which does what B2W2 did AND more. Hopefully in the next few years Gen 7 will get the Gen 5 treatment from fans as people who grew up with it (like me) look back on it and realize how great these games are.
