I disagree that the Ultra Beasts are water-down legendaries and in fact hope that GameFreak continues what the Ultra Beasts are, an archetype of Pokemon not so different from Eeveelutions.While I had no major problems with the Ultra Beasts themselves, I felt that they were generally handled rather poorly in the sense that they were mainly just watered-down Legendary Pokemon that came from different dimensions.
You were still stuck on a grid in XY/ORAS(?). SM was the first time where you could truly walk in a lot more directions.I do love X & Y quite a bit. I introduced a LOT of new things when it comes to the Pokemon series on a handheld (The ability to walk in any direction you want, trainer customization, the ability to take pictures during gameplay, etc.).
You were locked in a grid indoors (aside from a few places), but the rollerskates/bike in XY allowed free movement, as well as just using the circlepad in ORASYou were still stuck on a grid in XY/ORAS(?). SM was the first time where you could truly walk in a lot more directions.
extremely unpopular opinion: Gen 4 as a whole was very underwhelming and disappointing
Is "I don't have unpopular Pokemon opinions" an unpopular opinion?
Agreed, and while the fact they take up moveslots is a valid complaint, I was incredibly disappointed that they weren't that important for progressing in the storyline starting with Black/White. Poke Ride is one of the most overrated features ever created, as basically having no right to use your own Pokemon to overcome obstacles is a slap in the face and an insult to the theme of the franchise. It doesn't help that the saddles and the Riding Wear look utterly ridiculous. Sadly, it looks like you can't surf on your Pokemon in Sword/Shield yet again.I like HM moves. I know a lot of people don't but personally, I found the challenge of having to fit them into the team fun.

Agree. Same with male Salandit.Male combee shouldn't evolve.
I agree with u about ALL points, except the first one - I think that the music in the recent games is really goodHere's my unpopular Pokemon opinions:
The music in the games hasn't been good in years. I used to go back and visit cities like Ecruteak and Goldenrod just to listen to the music sometimes when I was younger. I don't think I've heard any music in any of the recent games I'm nearly as fond of.
The Sun & Moon anime art style is ugly and almost makes me not want to even watch anime. Battles are so much less dynamic, and it just look cheesy. I hope they return the the XY style eventually .
Sun/Moon/USUM were boring. I could not finish the games, even to this day.
Mega evolution was the best thing to happen to Pokemon in years. It's absence from this gen is a complete travesty.
I agree. Honestly think Sinnoh to Alola has the best music in the franchise. My personal favorite is Kalos.I agree with u about ALL points, except the first one - I think that the music in the recent games is really good
