I honestly feel that if the anime's story is exactly the same as what we have in the games, then it's going to be really boring.Okay, you know, the current writers are okay at writing a story and having their characters have a wide range of personalities. But here's the thing about that: the story and personalities can honestly be placed in any kind of setting. The Pokemon anime kind of feels like they have the Pokemon setting as just a backdrop, if anything it kind of feels like they only follow things in the game out of obligation. It feels like the writers want to make their own show, something that isn't "shackled" by expectations of a previous existing franchise.
Then again it could be the executives messing up. Maybe the executives don't think what's in the game can stand on its own so they tell the writers to do their own thing and don't worry about pesky little things that are in the game like the plotline (which I remind you have vastly improved in recent generations and only need expansion upon), many notable locations and the lore behind them, and the individual Pokemon's stats/dex description/relation to a certain character.
So to answer you question, yes, I've been watching XY & XYZ and what I'm watching is Anime Adventure featuring Pokemon.
Because it's just the same bloody thing.
The anime helps people explore the world of Pokemon, and give more insight to what the Pokemon world is like.
So that, it actually helps you to better imagine what yourself could be like in the world of Pokemon.
