Because unlike in Gen4 and Gen5 I wasn't bored to death after 5 hours. Sure, it might lack some features those games had (I wouldn't know) but in return the game was much snappier to play. Better models and animations as a result of finally switching to a 3D engine, in my experience faster battles and Exp. Share. Single most redeeming quality of X/Y for me. Suddenly keeping a full team wasn't as much of a chore as in previous games anymore, I could just catch and use Pokemon whenever I wanted without having to worry about the rest of my team since Exp. Share made sure all Pokemon were roughly on an equal level.

I actually am not sure if I'd buy a Pokemon game without Exp. Share again. Probably not. And if I'd do a single Pokemon run until after E4.
