Yeah I could tell B&W sucked even without a proper watch through. Iris was just annoying and the other guy was so forgettable I don't even remember his name.

The first XY felt a bit repetitive of OS. It's XYZ where it really got good, especially the Team Flare arc, which was so dark and intense I momentarily forgot this I was watching Pokemon.

I got turned off by the art at first, but often times the story gets quite deep. They actually had a Pokemon dying of natural causes and the characters having to live with that. Also, Team Rocket no longer randomly barges into episodes where they had no relevance and have their own plot.
