Battles look great played out in full 3D with beautiful effects. The world, Kalos, which is based on the France looks wonderful and brings Pokemon to life in a way it never has done before. The music is very fitting with the surroundings, though I did hear the tracks I liked a lot less frequently that ones played constantly. This may be down to personal taste but I couldn't stand some of the town's music. The addition of the fairy type was very welcome. It added new strategies in game-play especially being immune to Dragon type Pokemon. I was quite disappointed however with the lack of new Pokemon, there being only 70 new ones. Another new aspect of game-play the 6th generation brings is Mega Evolution, which brings old Pokemon back into the limelight by giving them powerful new forms and makes the most popular creatures become even more godly. As much as I like Mega-Evolution, I wish some of the Pokemon permanently evolved that way. One of the major problems I had with Pokemon Y is the difficulty. While it is easy enough for new players to make their way through the main game and then veterans are more targeted to the competitive battling post-game, I would have much preferred a choice to chooses between harder difficultly levels. This is by far the easiest Pokemon game to date which at some points in the game made things boring. The hours of game-play also seem significantly reduced compared to the games before (BW2). Those points aside Pokemon Y is still a fantastic game that will highly appeal to long time fans and newcomers alike.… Expand

    So great! I'm in love with this game, 16 hours in two days! The 3d graphics are great, the soundtrack is great, the map is pretty big decent, and the story is solid! I haven't thought of anything else the game could have had!

    TL;DR I liked this game it's loads of fun

    15 years ago I played Pokemon Blue, a few years later I played Silver. I kept playing all iterations up until Black/White. This is the first Pokemon game I've played in many years and it's likely the best one yet. The nostalgia of seeing all the generation 1 Pokes is a great feeling and the new 3D engine is nothing short of superb.

    The graphics, I cant believe how much has changed, I didnt think that much would change but i got it completely wrong Gamefreak have got it spot on with overhaul and have dont a great job.
    You also have a more wide variety of pokemon from all the generations instead of just being focused on the new gen in the wild. It could possibly be because of the low numbers of new pokemon released for the new pokedex.
    I also love the new storyline i didnt expect it being a little bit dark with it being a pokemon game but obviously not too dark with it being a kids game.
    Also the mega evolutions i think is a really cool idea just wished there was a more variety of different pokemon that could use them.

    My only few issues with this game is.
    My main con is I dont like the new EXP ALL. Alot of fans are loving this new feature where i dont because i feel this game has been made too easy as i have not lost a battle the whole game even against the elite 4. and after the first play through i have a pokemon at level 83 with the rest of my team over level 70. If you like to do a good grind you will be over powered for the game i was always between 10-20 levels above the gym leaders which took the challenge out of the game so by the 6th or 7th gym i stopped grinding to make the game a bit more challenging but by the time i came to the elite four most of their pokemon were one hit wonders and i did not even use the mega evolution once.
    Second of all with the Elite 4 i felt the choice of types of pokemon were not that great where white and black were challenging and this game was not.
    Last of all i dont know if it because people have not discovered more to do yet but i cant seem to find much to do once you have completed your first play through. I found mewtwo & Moltres easily enough with all i know is there is only one legendary left. Plus you also have the mega stone to find as well but because i have not found much use of mega evolutions because of the lack of difficulty i have not bothered finding them.

    To sum this game up. Its worth a buy it is a huge step up from the previous games and it kept me glued to the game for about 30 hours or so but i have lost interest once defeating the elite 4 for the first time because i felt the game was too easy where in previous games i was always wanting to go back for more to make my team better    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just got the game yesterday, after the job and man I just used almost 4 hours playing it with the Mini-games from Pokémon Amie AND Super Training. When I realized, It's Like 2 am and I had to work on next day! Yes, spent a lot of time just in the EV training and Amie mini-games to get boosted XP in battles (If you pokémon is happy, full and you have played games with it, It will have some little sparks in the Amie mode, it's the signal that IT will gain boosted xp points in battle). By the way, I just spend hours and didn't even reached the first gym.

    Just today in the Lunch break I had time to go and beat the first Gym! But only this. After the job it's provable I'll spend more hours doing mini-games and training my team, maybe getting my Kanto Starter (already got Torchic).

    Pokémon X (what I get) is a really good game from the start. Instead of Running to beat all the gyms I'm taking my time. Also, it's a good game for the genwummers, since in the SECOND pokémon you SAW (but not is able to catch) in the over-world is from Gen 1. And in the first tall grass you had a chance to get ANOTHER Gen 1 Pokémon (IF you buy pokéballs BEFORE leaving the town AFTER getting your starter).

    To tell the truth, I just ran into 4 pokémon from Gen 1 in Pokémon X, one from Gen 4, Three from Gen 5 and TWO from Gen 6 All of this in the FIRST FOREST.

    If you don't like the new pokémon just don't catch them. there is plenty of Old School Pokémon from the previous generations. 10 Different species of Pokémon JUST in the first forest.

    I'll not be talking about the graphics or music, tons of users already spoke about it.

    I played Black 2 and Loved the way the game made the story flow, but sometimes I got to start to grind with is really boring. Maybe with the super Training and the NEW EXP.Share, I'll be able to grind less since super training will help to get the EV points in the right place, easily. Amie let you play with you pokémon to get him happy and ready do get boosted experience points.

    If you use those 2 tools with wisdom and have the patience to enjoy the game, maybe Grinding will not be necessary.

    And there is more. I'm can't see the hour to go back to home and to keep playing the game.

    Hint: Enter in all houses and talk to everyone some people will give you itens other will just talk. And some could be interested in trading pokémon. In the first gym city there is a person who is willing to trade a Pokémon that would be really GOOD to use in the first gym. For the X, the pokémon is from Gen 1, I don't know if is the same from the Y.    … Expand

One thing I really didn't like was how easy it was. Due to the fact everyone was always around the same level as you, even without grinding, you never had to really train too much. You just kind of beat them. The gyms and elite 4 were a breeze. I beat them on the first try. Pokemon designs were good. World design was nice for a 3ds.

    The amount of pokemon or pokes in this game is humongus! It's so many pokes to catch I don't even know where to begin. Breeding Eevee is fun, well not fun, but has to be done to get all of them.

    The graphics are stunning compared to the others. I've read reviews saying that the 3D thing that 3DS has is terrible, well 3D in general is a gimmic so, I don't care. What is good though is that they focused on the game it self and not the 3D gimmic that is popping out of your screen.

    The music is good, i get pumped in every E4 battle. And compared to the other generations it is good.

    Now the most antisipated is the combat. It is great, and it doesn't feel like you have to rush the combat because it is so boring. It is entertaining to watch and you can almost feel the power in the enemy attacks.

    The reason why it isn't a 10 is simply because it doesn't allow you travel to other regions, and so far upon the release, a lack of trading with older games, and a lack of legendaries.    … Expand

    I've never gotten so into a Pokemon game in my life! The addition of mega evolution was a good leap for a new generation, but disappointing to those of us who remember Digimon, who think it resembles digivolving a bit too much. The scale of the world makes exploring everything exciting and leaves tons of areas and puzzles for you to explore. Over all the best new Pokemon game yet.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great visuals, new Pokemon and the same fighting simulation makes Pokemon Y a must-have for the 3DS. Pokemon are now rendered into 3D models instead of the dated sprites as well as the player character, who can now be customized to your heart's content. The only downside to X and Y is that 3D only works in single battles or certain places on the map. Turning the 3D on also causes a blow to the frame-rate. Thought there are less new Pokemon (69 regulars, not including the Mega Evolutions), their designs are presented well in origin and detail. You simply can't hate the new ones, unlike the horror of the 5th gen games (I'm talking about you Trubbish, Vanillite, etc). Overall, a great gaming experience, just don't turn on the 3D. If you are a fan of Pokemon, RPG's or own a 3DS, make sure to pick up October's hottest title, Pokemon Y!… Expand

    X and Y have the worst Story yet. The "rivals" Are incredibly irritating dumbasses that ask to battle you every 5 seconds. The story at times is so cheesy you just have to face plant into your desk. When you're supposed to feel some form of emotion for your "rivals" It just ends up making you laugh your ass off at how badly done the story is. Now what intimidating group of criminals do we get this time? Team.... Flare. Join them and be fashionable! Or you'll just be one of the many to die in a mass genocide. Seriously this is the worst criminal group in the franchises history. The game is filled with things that are meant to be surprising, But just absolutely FAIL because you know who they will be from the get-go by their looks. The leader of Team Flare is SO obvious, as is the Champion. I feel as if the story was meant for stupid people, or children under the age of 10. The game is WAY WAY WAY too easy to complete as well. This game can be done by casuals in less then 16 hours, thanks to the broken experience share. Even with the experience share off this game is not a challenge. The legendaries (No surprise) also are the weakest of the Franchise. Very little backstory is behind them, and the third one Zygarde whats the history of him? Why is he in a cavem monitoring the ground? Or, Why is he even in the game? It's almost as if Gamefreak had to design a third legendary. This games campaign is hands down the worst of the franchise. "oh its intended for children" is not a reasonable excuse, when even children hate the story mode.

    So the campaign is terrible. X and Y make up for it with the large leap in graphics, easy level grinding after beating the game, and Vastly improved Multiplayer system. The multiplayer is much more balanced, and it's much easier to get into playing this game competitively then before. If it weren't for the Massive leap in graphics, and the very very well done multiplayer system, X and Y would be in trouble. X and Y is no doubt better then Black and White, But they land as the second worse title for this franchise.    … Expand

    The definitive version of the game, but some evolution would be nice. [Dec 2013]

    3D Visuals transformed the classic Pokemon approach in a good way. Online capabilities are top notch, this new generation will really make Pokemon fans happy.

    The best Pokemon game since Gold and Silver. It’s worth buying a 3DS. [13/2013, p.76]
