    Everything was great about this game, but it still lacked being challenging. It was far too easy, can you at least give us a difficulty setting?

The 3D makes the game look great, Kalos it's a beautiful region and probably has the best map of all principal games. The looks of the towns with the atmosphere it's also beautiful, the 69 new Pokémon doesn't look as bad as the Unova's ones, of course there's some that are just bad like Barbaracle but in every Pokémon game there's at least three or four designs that sucks. In general this game it's a great experience if you want to relax and have fun.… Expand

    Pokemon XY + ORAS allowed you to complete the entire Gen 6 National Pokedex, all the way up to 721 (after mythical events). The competitive scenes were absolutely revolutionary for their time.

The competitive scenes were absolutely revolutionary for their time. Gen 6 featured a bigger Smogon than ever and the two most recognizable VGC tours to this date. The Vs. Recorder was a sandbox that allowed you to create matches against AIs in any way you wanted. This worked especially if you had 2 consoles with 2 compatible games. Gen 6 had the best online system to this date with the PSS having extremely convenient interface. Gen 6 introduced 3D models and advanced interaction with your Pokemon, allowing you to connect with them more. The 3DS games had some of the deepest lore in the series to talk about with other people. Super Secret Bases in ORAS ensured the Hoenn region was kept alive with something new and refreshing potentially coming every day. The introduction of megas were amazing and they gave the series so much life. This mechanic aimed to focus more on connecting the player to the Pokemon they have, unlike Dynamax and Terastallization. Gen 6 also expanded on shinies to make them more feasible to obtain, which gave rise to a dedicated shiny hunting community. Gen 6 was a time where the entire Pokemon community was at its most united since Gen 1, all because it mastered the fundamentals of what made Pokemon stand out while also leaving a lot to play with and discuss. You could really catch them all and aim to be the very best, like no one ever was.

    I'm putting this up just for X in case I want to use Y to elaborate on my thoughts on XY specifically. atm I just wanted to give this game a score. I didn't give this game a 10, because in most aspects, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire outclass them and these games lack extra content in comparison to your typical upper version or remake games prior to Gen 8. They're still quite useful for collecting Pokemon in a way no other Pokemon game as of current can achieve and alongside Sun and Moon, are the best Pokemon games to introduce a generation.    … Expand

Now, the best point of this game is the gameplay, the gyms, the battles, the scenarios and the main villain are incredible. is to accompany and face.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pokemon X was my first ever pokemon game, It was my intro to the franchise and the basics of the games.

    Now Gen 6 is by far the easiest generation of Pokemon ever created, So obviously X lacks a lot of difficulty of the originals, Now I was able to blast through the game in about 18-19 hours but your time may be different depending on the type of Pokemon player you are.

    Now the region you explore is the Kalos Region which is heavily inspired by France and Europe.
    This Region is absolutely brillant, It feels really fresh and fun to explore, Big but not to the point where you don't know where to go because of the 17 different paths you can take, and packed with plenty of Pokemon!

    The story is pretty simple, Team Flare wants the legendary Pokemon (Since were playing X its Xerneas but if your playing Y its Ylvetal) to use its power to wipe out everyone and all the Pokemon alongside them.

    Now for Gameplay its pretty simple, It still has the old quick and fast paced style of the old games, but with new features like the mega evolution and 3D Battles.
    But this brillant gameplay is brought down by this games biggest flaw.

    The difficulty.
    The difficulty is beyond levels of easy, Hell the champions battle wasn't even a champions battle, I kept one hitting all Dianthas Pokemon, I had more trouble with the rival battles then I did the entire elite four!

    Overall the game is definitely worth a play if your a Pokemon fan or want to start the series, but its brought down by the difficulty.    … Expand

This was the first main Pokémon game I've ever played and I it's really good (Might even say my favourite), I mean it's just so fun to play, The Kalos region is pretty cool especially Lumiose City (My Opinion okay...leave me alone), The new Pokémon are pretty cool with my favourite being Greninja and Noivern. Graphics are good except for a few bits,they could be better but hey it's early 3DS so...The story I never pay attention to in Pokémon since it's never that important unless it's about legendaries or Mega evolution. Speaking of the new things this game brought are amazing, the best though is definitely mega evolution which allows you to evolve A Pokémon even further during battle And it's super cool and makes competitive battles more challenging and fun.. sometimes, another cool thing is the character customisation (Since this 3D they kinda had to) I wouldn't say it's the best in the series but I was pretty cool and a good thing to waste Hundreds of thousands of pokedollars on. Gameplay...I don't really need to say much..It's like any other Pokémon game except for its Easier then black and white especially when you catch Xerneas. Some of the music on the game is pretty good, Not all of it though. And if I have to complain about one thing..The gyms suck, They are pretty boring to go through and the battles are...pretty easy most of the time but the level difficulty for gyms have been the same for the past 7 years now so I can't say much. If you haven't played yet and want to give it a go I would recommend it....Okay bye… Expand

    My first Pokemon game was Black 2, and I didn't beat it because I got stuck at the 4th gym. Honestly didn't have a good time with the game. X is the absolute best Pokemon game to date. With actually interesting characters, Pokemon that are appealing to catch, and new features make this game an adventure from start to finish.

    Pokemon X is quite the innovative piece of art. The overarching theme of the game, being a lush Paris lifestyle with lots of gardens and villages, follows you throughout the entire game, while still keeping slight contrast. Game Freak had a lot on their plate trying to nudge Pokemon towards the world of 3D, and they did a great job of keeping it tame.

    Changing up the art style and    Pokemon X is quite the innovative piece of art. The overarching theme of the game, being a lush Paris lifestyle with lots of gardens and villages, follows you throughout the entire game, while still keeping slight contrast. Game Freak had a lot on their plate trying to nudge Pokemon towards the world of 3D, and they did a great job of keeping it tame.

    Changing up the art style and dimensions of an already successful franchise is tough business, but Game Freak knew what kind of work they had cut out for them. Music carried the heart and soul of Pokemon through the entire game, reminding you that when you enter a new city, or your Pokemon is sent out to battle, that this is still the Pokemon adventure you set off on long ago. The Mega Evolution idea was very interesting, and added a cool new power to play around with about half way through the game. It immediately made sense as part of the Pokemon world, even if you don't quite understand it at first.

    The story of the game follows suit with the rest of Pokemon games. It's not awfully original, but the developers clearly tried to draw a line in the story to make it stand out from the rest. In all honesty, it didn't feel like a whole new world, just a new region to explore and conquer, which I loved, though I'm not sure how new Pokemon players feel about the lack of hand holding.

    Pokemon designs are fresh, the region and story stand out from the crowd, and there are several new features to get accustomed with and enjoy. There isn't much wrong with this game at all other that it's seemingly careful approach to not diverge from the typical ideas of the Pokemon series. Even then though, they pulled it off well and made sure it didn't fall into forgetfulness. Being not an awfully hard game, it's worth the pickup for anybody with a 3DS looking for a new adventure to dive into.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review is intended to be read after playing the game:
    Pokemon X and Y are often regarded as a disappointment and an overall low-quality game, something of which I to this day don't understand, but just let me tell you this:
    Countless hours grinding does not equal content
    I get it, it was very short and was by far the easiest Pokemon game in existence. But length and difficulty aside, it's amazing.
    It has one of- no- THE best soundtrack out of any Pokemon game and the region was absolutely beautiful. It was also the first truly 3D Pokemon game with the ability to move around not according to a grid (of course, it wasn't until Sun and Moon that the grid was removed).
    It may not have had many Pokemon, but the few Pokemon it did have were very well made (except for Klefki, screw Klefki). Basically, it favoured quality over quantity. Something they should've done since the very beginning. Just look at Talonflame, Aegislash or the ever popular Greninja. Or even the legendaries. Volcanion is also an amazing mythical Pokemon.
    It had an amazing plot as well. Sure it had its flaws, like how Shauna is the most annoying character ever and how it had too many rivals and felt forced (Although, Serena/Calem was technically the only rival, the rest were just friends but that doesn't change the fact that it felt forced), but take a look at Team Flare. At first they seemed pretty stupid, just a bunch of people who wanted to be fabulous, but eventually it's revealed that Lysandre, the owner of that one company ran Team Flare and was trying to reset the world using AZ's ultimate weapon and only people who had paid Lysandre were allowed to live.
    And unlike the typical "Villain sees the light" kind of ending, Lysandre ended up getting killed by his own weapon (or at least, it's heavily implied). And the ending scene with AZ and Floette speaks for itself.
    It also introduced the fairy type, finally bringing balance to the ridiculously overpowered dragon types- and mega evolutions which broke everything but are amazing either way.

    Overall, Pokemon X and Y is an amazing game with a great soundtrack, intriguing and original plot and a beautiful region. The lack of difficulty makes the game feel catered too much towards new audiences, but playing it as a challenge run (e.g Nuzlocke) can help make up for it.    … Expand

    For old players: the good ol' pokemon adventure, a light-hearted pass-time that will make you feel better

    For returning players: New type and the first main series game to go full 3d models, with cell-shading

    For new players: perfect entry point, it's simple yet very traditional

    Pokemon X doesn't offer much in the post game but offers a uniquely well done main story and region to explore. The 3D offers a lot and the character customization seals it as one of the best Pokemon games of all time!

    Poke'mon X gives the Poke'mon series the shot in the arm it needed. As a lapsed fan it certainly succeeded in pulling me back in.

Prior games introduced things like dual types, natures, IV's and EV's, breeding, team battles, etc. It even allows you to fully customize a male or female character for the first time. Poke'mon X and Y introduces Mega Evolution that can change your poke'mon's type among other things mid-battle which adds another layer of complexity.

The only negative aspect of this game is that it is extremely easy for veterans and hardened fans. The gym leaders are a joke so weak, including the Elite 4. None of them has a full staff, which makes it even easier for the player. The game also sounds incomplete in its history, since the third game of each generation (in this case, the future "Pokemon Z") is always the game what gets the "best finish".… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is okay. What I mostly don't like is simply how easy this game is in comparison to older installments, mostly because of the EXP Share over-leveling your team. No, it's not because the previous generation got older... this game is simply easier. Actually, if you don't use the EXP Share, then it's difficult because your team is drastically under-leveled - it's not really fun to do this either. The other things are the weak post-game and how shallow the battle facility is. Other than that, it's an O.K. game.… Expand

Of course we all know what happens here, a new map, you start with some Pokemon you got from the local professor, start fighting your way through the map stopping by cities to earn the badge from the gym leaders; eight of them are to be found.

    When you finally have all badge you head for the Pokemon League and climb your way past the elite four to challenge the champion, if you win you're the new Pokemon Master and happy ending. Sure that's the formula, but doesn't it work still? With the incredibly deep meta-game surrounding all of it it's hard not to fall in love all over again with Pokemon, even if the formula of success has had decreased effectiveness over the years.

    The internet now plays a big part in becoming the ultimate Pokemon collector. Unfortunately—as always—you can't capture every Pokemon in-game, requiring not only trades with Pokemon Y players, but also players with other versions like the remake of third generations and physical Pokemon conventions. yes, physical, in the era of easy internet and online event implemented in-game some Pokemon are only acquirable if you visit events taken place in few parts of the world. We all know where they are.

    Maybe someday we'll get a game where you could at least catch most Pokemon by merely playing your game, until that day comes, let's just hope they increase the rate of online events.

    Pokemon X and Y are excellent games that attempt to take the series to another level. However, despite multiple new additions to the game, when all is said and done, you cannot help but feel slightly disappointed and left wondering what might have been.

However, despite multiple new additions to the game, when all is said and done, you cannot help but feel slightly disappointed and left wondering what might have been.

    Pokemon X and Y follow the same basic plot that all games preceding it have done. You take the reins as a young boy or girl in a very small town and are called away to receive a Pokemon and go on a journey. Throughout the journey, you will take on the staple 8 gyms and the default evil organisation ( this time called Team Flare), save the world and become Pokemon League champion. This is not a bad thing but story wise it is slightly bland and returning players may feel like they have seen it all before.

    Pokemon X and Y have attempted to change the whole fabric of the series by implementing a new type to the game- the fairy type and a new concept mega evolution ( where your Pokemon can take on a new form during battle). The fairy type has drawn a large amount of criticism from the millions of existing Pokemon fans but I am pleased to say that the new typing works rather well. It was brought in to balance out the strength of the dragon type which has always been lauded as the strongest. However, the new typing can only change so much because only 70 new Pokemon were added to the ever growing family. The designers have defended this by saying that the new mega evolution of Pokemon makes up for this lower number but even the number of Pokemon that can mega evolve is quite disappointing- only around 30 of the 700+ Pokemon there are. The fact that some of the already established Pokemon have become fairy types ( such as Wigglytuff and Gardevoir) almost seems like the game creators are cheating you out of some new Pokemon.

    The 70 new Pokemon are very well designed with a good mix ranging from the standard bird type Pokemon Fletchling to the floating sword Aegislash and the cute charm of the electric mouse Dedenne. However, not all of these Pokemon are hits: the Pokemon Slurpuff is an odd mix between meringue and dog- that just looks odd and feels like a real stretch. Despite this, there are more hits than misses and you cannot expect everyone to like every design.
    The criticisms made thus far dwindle in comparison to the fact that there is near to no post-game gameplay. Bar searching for a few mega stones, completing a short quest in Lumiose City and battling in the Battle Maison, there is nothing to do. This is fine because the pure number of Pokemon you can catch and train in the game is very large and can make up some of the deficit but considering the extent of post-game content in Pokemon Black and White 2, you are left feeling as if the game was rushed to production and that the release should have been delayed until all the kinks were worked out.

    Two more of the new features: Super Training and Pokemon Amie consist of short mini games to assist with EV training in the former and to increase the happiness level in the latter. Super Training is fun at first but soon becomes tiresome due to the repetitive nature of the game- there is only so many times you can fire footballs at a giant Pokemon shaped balloon before it becomes tedious. Nevertheless, this can be useful for players who want to enter online tournaments and want to train their Pokemon to be ready for them. Pokemon Amie is a very good addition. During this minigame, you can play with your Pokemon in different mini games, pet your Pokemon and even feed it sweets. This area will really appeal to younger fans of the Pokemon series as well as older fans who always wanted to stroke Pikachu!
    Pokemon X and Y are presented beautifully; this is without question as the transition from 2D sprites to fully 3D animations has truly evolved. However, there are a few problems with this upgrade. Firstly, the overworld map is not in 3D ( i.e. the 3D slider has no effect)- this is an odd choice for a game on a console that is based around the use of 3D. The reason why this is done is apparent once you begin to battle with the 3D slider on. The game has a strong lag and in some moves it is almost unbearable; there have been countless times that I have thought that the game had crashed but in matter of fact it was just having to slow down the framerate to make the game playable. A real shame and something most fans will expect to be fixed come the November release of Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby.
    The Pokemon in the game still have the same 'screeching' sound that they did back in the previous generation; albeit a cleaner sound. This does not include Pikachu who now says 'Pika Pika' when entering battle and also has special sounds in Pokemon Amie. This is a great addition but also leaves you wondering why they cannot implement this for all the Pokemon in the game.
    Despite the multiple flaws in Pokemon X and Y the fact is, it is still a wonderful addition to the Pokemon franchise.

Catch Pokemon, beat gym leaders, stop the latest version of team rocket, find the legendary on the box art and complete the elite four all for the appeasement of a wise professor. Game Freak seem to have decided it ain't broke so they ain't gonna fix it. There's a few fun extra features thrown in and it looks a lot prettier but for the most part it's the same 50-60 hours of quality gaming that we expect to be re-released every year or two so while they're not getting massive points for innovation I can't deny they have made something that just never seems to get old. The online is also really cool. I've spent upwards of 20 hours trading and battling over the internet.
    If I'm completely honest the only thing I don't like about it is the new Fairy type. With the exception of the legendary Xerneas the Fairy types all look like one of the developers let their 4 year old daughter design them. Also none of them are particularly useful in battles either.    … Expand

    This game changed the Pokemon series in general. In my opinion the story was a little bit shorter than usual but thats just me. Overall pretty good game especially that they added "Wonder Trade" to trade random Pokemon to people around the world.

    With amazing, colorful 3D graphics, amazing soundtrack, and new interesting Pokemon, this game is a must have on the 3ds.

EV training has become much more approachable thanks to super training which i'm sure will make it competitive play much more approachable to new trainers. The addition of mega evolution opens up evolution to many Pokemon which makes many more Pokemon more viable options to use on your team. This game also is much more detailed than any other Pokemon game. The sprites all have motion that makes everyone feel alive in a battle setting that is just as detailed as the Pokemon. There are however some flaws which hold it back from being the best that no one ever was. Once you beat the game, there is little to do in the after game unlike previous Pokemon games, like Whitetree Hollow in White/Black 2, or how you unlocked Kanto in SoulSilver/HeartGold. You instead get a single city with its own version of a battle arena that is nothing to get excited about. There also, while well designed, fewer new Pokemon in this generation then any other, especially when the last generation had 156 to this gens 69. Luckily, there will be pokemon from every gen to catch, so don't think there will only be a few Pokemon to catch. Nevertheless, this is a game that will satisfy that Pokemon crave that we all have and deliver an enjoyable experience to any who play it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This got me absolutely hooked on Pokemon again. The gameplay is very much what you'd expect. Collect Pokemon, beat some evil team who keep appearing all over the place, beat a bunch of gyms and then the elite 4 but it was all very well done and kept me addicted throughout. The addition of exp share really helped make the Pokemon training less of a grind and more fun, which I love. The mega-evolutions were a great touch too. Visually this is the best Pokemon game by a country mile, the nation of Kalos is wonderful and varied and the 3D (even when not stereoscopic) is very nicely done and really helps bring the world to life. The music is great as usual but the biggest improvements come in the online play where things have been drastically improved. I've spent many an hour battling away on battle-spot and although a 6v6 option would have been a nice addition I now enjoy the faster pace of the 3v3 battles. I like all the new starter Pokemon and although there aren't too many new Pokemon this time round most of them are well designed and the fact you can get a huge chunk of the 700 odd available Pokemon on this game is a massive bonus. All in all this is a truly great game.… Expand

    Pros
    +A very lengthy storyline
    +Although not many changes with the storyline, the antagonist team story has a unique twist not seen in previous games.
    +A lot of old pokemon have re-emerged unlike the past two gens where it was mainly new pokemon with a few old pokemon
    +Battle system is the same formula but is fresh thanks to new changes and new additions
    +Characters can have their appearances be customized
    +Unique change to previous games when it comes to getting starter pokemon
    +Many new options were made thanks to the evolution of the internet infrastructure for the series - new modes include Wonder Trade, a improved GTS system and other new modes.
    +Thanks to the new online capabilities, Pokemon feels more like a social game as players can be connected through the internet, challenge or trade each other at any given time throughout with each other in the whole world.
    +Mega Evolutions have brought forth a evolution in the battle mechanics in the series.
    +Fairy Type is the new pokemon type that adds flavor to the competitive scene and the mechanics as many pokemon have been re-arranged with the typing.
    +Saving feature is practically instant compared to previous games where you had to wait a few seconds.
    +Pokemon's Design has officially changed from the 2D perspective to the 3D perspective thus revolutionizing the series just like the third gen did with its own visual design changes from its previous gens.
    +The OST is one of the best made in the series.
    +There are a lot of easter eggs and many odes to the first, second and third gens through Pokemon appearances, certain dungeon/areas, etc.
    +Additional features which help you breed/groom pokemon and the combination with the new online capabilities make Pokemon X/Y a game that will be played for a long time with endless hours.

    Cons
    -No major changes to the storyline, same formula
    -Rival and Antagonist Team are still weak compared to previous games in the series
    -Seasons feature from Gen 5 did not carry over
    -Some of the older pokemon still have their midi voices recycled rather than improving them with new sound files
    -Post game content is quite weak compared to previous games.
    -Elite Four do not get stronger in post game
    -Safari Zone in the game is more like a Safari backyard.    … Expand

While X is easier than the older games (I had no trouble at all getting through the Elite Four), it was still a great game to play and I have moved onto the online scene trying my hand, or team in this case, against others. Playing X reminded me what it was like to work my way up to the top all over again, something I haven't experienced since the Johto remakes.

    Very good game and incredibly fun, but the reason I rated it a 9 out of 10 is because I don't think that it lives up to the other Pokemon games. Nintendo has pretty much abandoned the old beautiful 2D Pokemon style ( Like in Black and white etc...) and replaced it with 3D. I really actually enjoyed the previous games a lot more than this to be honest. But, other than that, good game. Worth a buy!

    Even if Pokémon X & Y has graphics in 3D and several other gameplay innovations it is still the same core experience as before. Focus is as always on catching them all and it is still an addictive experience. The difficulty bar is lower than before, the online functions more present and the gameplay mechanics better realised.
