    El peor de la saga, fácil y poco memorable, su mayor pecado es el regalar 4 pokémons casi obligatorios para completar la aventura, se pierde el factor RPG por completo, pero el trabajo de los modelos 3d es bastante decente.

    Despite welcoming Pokemon into the 3D world, Pokemon Y fails to take the challenge seriously. Unnoteworthy characters, a terrible bad guy team, muted ambiance, and a bare-bones narrative culminate in a title better left unplayed among plenty of others that came before and after it.

    This game was ok it was easy but like the fun and bad kind of funny. But i didn’t like that every gym leader has 3 Pokémon and every E4 member has 4 Pokémon which makes sense but come on Nintendo that’s to easy we’re not 5 year olds

    El mejor juego de pokemon sin lugar a dudas. Fue el verdadero salto generacional que se debió de ver en Pokemon Diamante y que actualmente ni con la remasteruzacion se ha visto

    Très sympa. C'est un Pokémon classique mais un Pokémon est toujours sympa et amusant.

    Pokémon x y is still the same title, and X & Y keep making the gameplay evolve little by little

    This is my favourite Pokémon game. This is the game that revived the series as it added many new features.
    This is the game that was universally adored at release to only be hated one day out of the blue. When asking why “Pokémon fans” suddenly hated this game they say it’s too easy and empty.
    Easy, yes. Pokémon games aren’t hard. Empty, no. It’s the same as every other Pokémon game. Gyms,    This is my favourite Pokémon game. This is the game that revived the series as it added many new features.

    It's a very mediocre game overall. Probably the most okay Pokémon game there is. There's nothing wrong about it, it just isn't all too special. The jump to 3D was appreciated and desperately needed.

    6/10. One of my favourite mainline Pokemon games. Mega evolution was a cool concept, the 3d felt really cool as a child. As a child, really conveyed the sense of adventure. However, does not hold up great today.

    Pokémon XY are a severe downgrade from B2W2 in just about every way. The new Pokémon are fairly underwhelming and lame (Except Sylveon).

    A bit bland, but definitely fun main campaign, yet a really lackluster post game. There was a lot of novelty in seeing all the pokemon in 3D for the first time, but after this game, pokemon games unfortunately lost their visual distinctiveness

    This game is the first on the franchise to be fully modeled on 3D, and I think it looks really good.

    The gameplay is similar at other Pokémon games, but somehow it seems like it lacks some content, and the story isn't that much interesting. The region itself, apart from Lumiose City, is kinda bland and forgettable. But not everyhing is bad.

    Broken balance. I have 7 overpowered pokemons (+10 lvl) after second gym. Despite the fact that I changed them all the time and went strictly according to the plot.

    The introduction of the beautiful main saga to 3D, and a glorious update of the foundations of Pokémon.
    The most user-friendly competitive was founded, and the way of combat became richer from now on.

    For the first 3D Pokemon game, it's a masterpiece. It's the kind of adventure i and, everyone expect from a Pokemon game. The story is excellent with some heavy emotion parts.

But the thing i love the most about this game is the OST. All the themes are memorable and as a VG music lover, i can't do nothing else than listening to the whole album again and again. The musics are cleverly composed and convey such emotions that i can't stop crying while listening it. For me, it's a Must-Play in the Pokemon series which worth way more than the actual Sword and Shield games that feel rushed beside this true video game monument. I can't do anything than encourage you, even 7 years after, to play this game again. (Oh, yea, i almost forgot the Mega evolution which was a revolution in the pokemon series (where is my Mega Charizard in SwSh ;-c ) and the really fun mini games you could play with your pokemons)… Expand
