XY is the game that's sort of stuck with me the most of any of the "recent" pokemon games. Its good enough as it is, but never felt like they actually had a chance to finish it the way they did with other games.

First off, best art style - the "2D style, but in 3D" was fantastic and its such a shame they seemingly immediately abandoned it with Gen 7.

Second, never getting the "third version" to make a more definitive game, makes the whole thing feel so weird. Because there's so much that's underbaked, but in a way that feels like they just didn't have the ability to finish it on time. Like you have 1/2 the puzzle pieces, and you can tell how all the missing pieces fit in, but they just aren't there.

It's the only gen I feel comes off as "unfinished". There are parts I don't like about other games, but stuff like SV feels like its a "complete" game and pretty much what GF was going for, but I don't see that for XY, and so its always stuck with me. Like on its own as it is, its "fine", but it feels like there was so much more, in a way that makes you feel like you didn't get to see the "true" version.
