Though it had its flaws, I remember this generation much more fondly than those before it. I like the region design a lot, and many of Gen VI's Pokemon felt very inspired, but of greater import to me is how this game handled connectivity. The PSS was the best player-connectivity feature any Pokemon game has ever had. As a teenager I met someone very important to me through this game, whom I still know and hang out with to this day, and for that I can't thank it enough. Also, the battle themes in XY are some of the best the series has to offer in my opinion.
