Is this a fair criticism to throw at Game Freak? I mean, there was Gen 1 pandering in X and Y with Charizard and Mewtwo having two megas, but there were at least Mega Pokemon from other Generations.

The problem comes when you look at it from all angles.
In XY, you get a Gen 1 starter about an hour after you get your Gen 6 stater, and you get their mega stone, as well, and prior to ORAS, Gen 1 had the most Mega Evos (ORAS promptly changed that by doubling the amount Gen 3 had, though ), and a multitude of Gen 1 Pokemon were readily available (Not really a fair comparison to make, since past gen Pokemon are always available, though). So now with Sun/Moon coming out, and featuring special versions of past Pokemon, and those special mons are exclusively Gen 1, it can start to feel like they're pandering to the crowd.
