    It’s probably just nostalgia but I’ve played this game at least 4 times and it’s quite fun. While I wish we got to see more Pokémon diversity in some of the parts still a great game.

    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

But I found the wonder trading system to completely remove the need of the gts system (i got a ditto for virtually nothing and a charmander for again, virtually nothing. when the opposite can be said when trying to get them via gts) aside from that though, it is worth the 40 dollar price tag, 8/10… Expand

    The Goods: A great visual overhaul compared to generation 5. I have to admit that the world now is the most beautiful that us gamers have experienced over all 6 generations. All these buildings look superb, and every new town gives you a new feeling of adventure and joy when playing. The music is also wonderful, expressing a specific emotion that makes sense with the situation. BattlesThe Goods: A great visual overhaul compared to generation 5. I have to admit that the world now is the most beautiful that us gamers have experienced over all 6 generations. All these buildings look superb, and every new town gives you a new feeling of adventure and joy when playing. The music is also wonderful, expressing a specific emotion that makes sense with the situation. Battles with trainers are as fun and tedious as ever, but the feeling of battling old pokemon(s) that you remember from earlier on in 3D (3 dimensional space) is just absolutely spectacular, and your nostalgia (assuming you've played previous games) will flood the dams of your soul. The scripting and text is funny and well written, and the story progresses at a decent rate. The battles are much faster, more visually appealing, and more intense. The music when you face Gym Leaders and the Elite 4 (+champion) are incredibly electronic and intense, and really puts the serious tone when you begin to fight them. Team Flare, the antagonist team of the series, comes in these nice stylish suits and are ready to change the world for the better(or are they?). Character customization is absolutely phenomenal, though you don't start with much in the beginning. Many things like the Battle Chateau and Restaurant battles are great ways to mess around. the Day Care is back, and it's also become way easier to train your pokemon to specific EV's, with the new minigame set (super training). Pokemon-Amie is a splendid little application that helps you get closer to your pokemon by giving them food, and playing minigames with them - which, to be honest, was actually more fun than I expected. The amount of good things in this game is absolutely splendid, so let's take a look at the other side.

    The Bad: There aren't very many seriously bad things about the game, but there certainly are a few. One of the main fallbacks to this game is that it lags big-time when you push the 3D slider up during a battle (one of the few times you can access 3D). Although I don't like using 3D for my battles that often, it'd still be nice to use it during times when you face a stronger or more significant opponent without the lag. Another problem that I've noticed is that this game is somewhat easy. Without the addition of difficulty choices before starting the game (which I would've recommended), you start with a relatively easy conquest to become the champion of the Kalos Region. I was around 5-10 levels above the enemies I were facing, even up to the champion! You should know how not-fun it is to battle and beat them really easily ...no challenge doesn't grant you that much fun. The last concern and issue that I had for this game is the fact that the postgame content is as plentiful and strong as the postgame content in past pokemon games. Sure you can catch a few legendaries, go to a distant town, play/trade online, but that isn't going to last you THAT long. It isn't that big of a problem, but what I'm saying that it could have been better.

    Overall: I feel like this is one of the strongest first-party 3DS games to come out (as anticipated) in 2013. This, paired along with a couple of real life friends with copies of X will prove to be one epic sight to see. I have enjoyed this game for a long time, and even though the battles lag and the postgame content is not that strong, I will continue to play this game for quite a while!

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pokemon Y features 69 new pokemon and 28 new forms to play around with. It is the first pokemon to be fully 3 dimensional and a great and easy transition into the 3D environments possible with the 3DS, pokemon Y makes use of the handhelds capabilities by throwing the player into a large, diverse and lush world with enough there to make the story an enjoyable play through with some darker convention being at work and some brand new mechanics that are sure to change the way the meta game function.

    The presentation of the game is very well delivered with the design of each pokemon looking like a significant improvement from the previous titles, the world looks very detailed and sharp as well with the theme of beauty definitely making its appearance through out the region of Kalos. While some areas are better than others in the game there are places that do not feel so inspired and a lot of the towns have many repeated buildings and NPC interactions as the next town making it feel a little dim at at points of the game however its a solid looking game.

    The game play is surprisingly fast with the battle animations lasting no longer than maybe 3 seconds, this is also complimented by the smooth animations and particle effects give the game a atmospheric edge however its hard not to notice that the 3D function should not be in use at all as the frames tend to drop with it turned and sometimes they drop even because a larger pokemon with more dynamic movement is in field. The battles play out nicely and the story progression has a nice pace with it starting out very fast then a steady drop allows the player to build up an idea of what pokemon to use and continue on to the next challenge overall the mechanics work very well even with the addition of a brand new typing and evolution that occurs only during battle and while they both may seem like they could break the current meta game we all know of I am excited to find out about new strategies being used especially since dragons no longer have any effect on fairies.

    The game does have a few flaws to go over and the first one that stood out to me instantly while playing was that while the region is bigger than i initially thought, there was a huge lack of secret areas to explore or any major routes that could only be taken after defeating the pokemon league however *spoiler* the amount to do after clocking the game is lacking and there are many features that you wish they would have actually changed or developed further for example they did not implement any Co operative play in the battle maison which really should have been there helping the pokemon series to really push forward into the multilayer and yes I know the bottom screen has the player search menu which in my opinion is a great step up allowing you to trade and battle friends anywhere however the co-op needed to be there to add more to the game. Another feature that I though could of been implemented into the game was an on-line/ local safari co-op mode and they clearly though about it just not in the way we were expecting instead it rewards the player for having a lot of friends which is coll because you can find different pokemon depending on the friend however this was done poorly and could of been expanded for example let the player create the safari zone they want their friends to play in and choose what pokemon should be in it depending on the ones you have caught and the typing this would have a lot a lot more value to the experience of post game. The amount of legendaries you catch is also seriously lacking with a total of 3 to go for and 2 of them being 1st gen it really does not satisfy (at least change the bird for the one of the Regis or genies).

    Overall Y is a very good transition to a new generation of not only pokemon but mechanics and art style, the direction is good however it needs the extra push in content to keep us playing after defeating the league as not everyone likes to grind pokemon with the pure intention of pitting them against others on line.    … Expand

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

    I thought this game was a great Pokemon game. It was not as good as Soul Silver or Emerald, but it gave me the nostalgia necessary for it to be entertaining to a 19-year old boy. It tries too hard to have a meaningful campaign, but its effort does not take away from its classic game play.

    Good: Battle graphics are outstanding and a huge boost from Black and White.
    Huge variety of monsters from various generations available immediately.
    Online multiplayer is better than it has ever been. It's easy to trade and battle strangers on the spot. Though there are less options for rule-sets than perhaps there should be and the battle room seems to refuse allowing full 6 monster teams.
    Breeding is easier and more clear than ever and training monsters to their potential is much more intuitive with mini games.
    Tons of items, abilities and core gameplay options to personalize your team of favorites.
    A new type that challenges the dominance of certain types.

    Bad: Too few new pokemon as well as too few Mega options, many of which are lent to the already most powerful monsters in the game. In total, the lowest number of new pokemon in a game.
    Metagame is not even remotely balanced to the point where community battle simulators provide a more entertaining experience.
    Story is almost nonexistent. The antagonistic team is crunched into two short back to back sequences which are resolved by non-player characters off screen after you battle the villains.
    Pacing is poor, aforementioned flare sequence and the oddly spaced gyms. Early gyms being very far apart and having pokemon level caps too close for comfort before they cease listening and later gyms being crammed narrowly together.
    Many characters are unremarkable and easily forgettable, including the finale battles. Side characters continue to be a nuisance chopping up progression.
    Post game content is a shadow compared to some previous gens.

    Though at face value there may seem to be more negatives posted above, the severity of most of the negatives isn't crippling and what the game does well it does very well. I look forward to the next addition where the foundation made for XY expedites a more content packed follow-up.    … Expand

    Visually it is amazing. I know Pokemon games tend to see big graphical improvements from one generation to the next but I don't think anyone expected anything like this. Battles look amazing, some of the animations are top class as well.

    As always we have seen new Pokemon but a lot less then what we have previously seen but with the introduction of the fairy type and new type combinations it has mixed things up.

    The main problem with the game is the difficulty AKA EXP share. With it on you can beat the game easily. I was 10 levels higher than the champion in my first play through. With it off you find yourself quickly out leveled. This means to play it normally you need to constantly turn the thing off and on again.

    Not a problem but something I don't like is the mega evolutions. I think its more gimmicky then anything else. An excuse to cave into pressure to make Charizard a dragon type.    … 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]
