My guilty pleasure of the main series. I hear the criticisms and they're all valid and everything, but I still love this game/gen to death. One of my favorite regions rendered in gorgeous 3DS graphics. Lots of great new Pokemon, including a starter based on one of my favorite animals (Fennekin, that is). I enjoyed the gimmicks like mega evo and super training or whatever that's called. It's also the first one I completed the national dex in, so it's got a special place in my heart for that, too.
Fun for the time in large part due to the multiplayer aspect but I'm a lot more critical now. Practically no post game which makes extended playthroughs quite lacking. The balance of this game from the EXP share changes to the free Megas and the level curve makes this so easy in comparison to previous entries. The move to 3D was a terrible decision due to the release schedule of this series. The Pokemon are now lifeless and oversaturated. The PSS was perfect and Game Freak was silly for ever trying to top it.
The transition to 3D was not kind to this series. If it were not for mega evolutions I don't think people would even remember these games existed. As a kid I typically got both pokemon games each year, mostly for Christmas to be fair but this was one of the dew generations where I skipped out on getting the other. There are some cool new pokemon in this game but its just not the same man.
El segundo mejor, después del blanco y negro, aunque la gente lo deteste. Introdujo los gráficos 3D, introdujo las megaevoluciones que fue algo top, introdujo el tipo hada que fue genial, la estética francesa? chulísima. La historia del team villano? curradísima y triste. Los pokemon de esta generación tienen diseños preciosos, aunque los legendarios no son los mejores. Este juego merece un 10, pero le voy a dar un 8 porque me da la puta gana.
Pokemon X&Y may have not been the perfect games but they definitely were a stepping stone for Pokemon. It introduced the beloved Mega Evolutions, character customization, the Player Search System (Still the best online for any Pokemon game to this day), and other shit I can’t remember. This game may have been mid but it has a soft spot in my heart.
this is a really fun game even if the transition to 3D was difficult, i love the new pokemon, mega evolution is fun, and also im french so im biased sourry. dont really like how much it depends on gen 1 callbacks when it really easily couldve been its own thing. the begining of the wasted potential era.
