For all the hate that X and Y get, I maintain my opinion that they are underappreciated. For example, the Pokémon variety is phenomenal, for both in the wild and in Trainer battles. Like, compare this list of Rustboro Gym's Gym Trainers from Emerald...
...to Grant's Gym Trainers in X and Y.
In fact, all the Kalos Gyms are like this. No Gym has a Gym Trainer who shares Pokémon with another Trainer in the same Gym. And frankly, I consider this a huge plus. And it's not just limited to Gyms. Even the random NPCs you find on routes have surprisingly varied teams, and the possible encounters on routes are so rich.
Variety of availabile Pokémon is truly one of X and Y's greatest strengths. It gives so many possibilities for team building and makes battles feel less repetitive.
