This game is so much better than X/Y it's not even funny. How metacritic rates X/Y over Sun and Moon is beyond me.
X/Y is like a 4 at best. Sun and Moon are an 8.
Better graphics, better Pokémon designs and backstory (although X/Y had good designs as well), much better story, better overworld, more post-game content, better animations, more innovation, more variety in gameplay (although they can still improve a lot on this part imo), better support characters, better villain team, no more HMs, Pokémon ride is amazing (although can still be expanded on a lot and improved greatly in futue games), etc.
Only the framerate is worse in Sun and Moon than in X/Y.
I don't even remember any of the "friends" that accompanied us in X/Y, holy shit were they terrible. I only remember that one fat guy with an ugly haircut. Hau isn't all that great either, but at least I won't forget him. Gladion and Lillie are all-right.
And what the fuck was X/Y's story even about? Killing everyone because they're not beautiful except him and his gang? That Lysander guy was probably the ugliest motherfucker in the game, besides the fat guy with the ugly haircut of course. And the region didn't scream France to me. It takes more than an Eiffel Tower and a couple of croissants to make something French. Alola truly feels like Hawaii. Best region for sure.
