This review contains spoilers
this one ended up as my least fave mainline game sadly. loads of intresting surface stuff that never really delivers.
what i liked:
- pokemon amie!! really good and cute way to connect with ur pokemon!!!! pet them or feed them , each with their unique animations for it!!!! i love it. all the little lines of “pokemon withstood the attack so u wouldnt worry” or “i know u can do it pokemon!!” is sooooo cute i ADORE it
- the post game looker story is literally the only part of the entire narrative that like. had me invested lol. short and with a strong character (emma). were was this energy for the main plot and crew
- im glad exp share all is a thing now. less pain in the ass to level mons up (i would even say overleleved lol but w/e)
and..thats sadly it. as to why this ended up as my least fave
- the characters, really.
- i love the idea of some of them, how tierno for example just want to have a decent dance team, or shauna stumbling around trying to find a goal for herself.
- except..nothing interesting is explored with that. we dont get tiernos motivation for why he wanna have a dance team, we dont really get any further than a hint of shaunas insecurity before it kinda gets..swept away?
- the only memorable moment i had with these characters was the fireworks scene and..thats it! give me more scenes like that!!
- dont even get me started on ur neighbor rival lol. an absolute nothing character
- everything just feels underdeveloped, from the main characters, the villain and also the main plot
- i wanted to be invested in az’s whole deal but his story is inserted so oddly i was left kinda uh...ok...than anything else. this could just be a me thing tho
- i also think, beyond the narrative, that the transition to 3d is kinda rough. pokemon models look kinda washed out from the more colourful sprites in bw. the character models themselves feel kinda stiff in conversations.
- i think mega evos are cool but the focus on kanto or other regions makes kalos lose some of its unique identity. why didn't we get mega evos for our kalos starters??
- i like 2d art dont get me wrong, but the lack of 3d intros for say, the gym leaders, was such a lost opportunity to showcase their personality (in comparison to the flare admins)
- the gym leaders themselves felt largey forgettable, which is a damn shame bc i dig alot of their designs
- navigating luminose city is also a pain in the ass mostly bc how haywire the camera can get
- also why was style level a thing
overall the most lackluster of pokemon games im afraid.

C comme si tu jouais a Pokemon mais que tout était nul à chier en gro
The Pokemon gameplay loop will always be fun no matter the situation but a drop in quality is very clear compared to the last game.
The beginning of my Least Liked era in Pokemon. This is where they gave up on ever not mostly relying on the most popular Pokemon of the first 3 gens, and also where they started doing special Once A Match Moves for each game.
(Mega Evolutions were alright tho they should have just been Evolutions tbh)

Inovou e não fez feio.
Pena que envelheceu mal.

it might be nostalgia, but i really like this game a lot
got it just for competitive, if you're only playing singleplayer then get a gen 5 or 7 game
Fairly decent Pokemon game, but it started the trend of gimmicks with Mega Evolution which eventually led to Z Moves and Dynamaxing. Fun region based on France, unfortunately the last set of decent Pokemon games before the failings that were Sun and Moon.
cool
Contrary to popular belief, I think Gen 6 was pretty awesome! It was still trying to figure out the 3D aspect but Mega-Evolutions were SO cool. I really wish those hadn't been a Gimmick but instead become a part of Pokemon itself! Amazing OST as well!
Idk man, I find myself on Route 15 listening to the music and checking out my team (which you have a massive amount of options for), and I can't help feeling there really is something there.
Story and characters this time are...nothing but being out on the road feels as great as it always does

Plot and post-game content weren't as compelling as the previous gen, but hey, I still spent an embarrassing number of hours hunting a shiny Zoroark
I knew I got old when I saw kids on twitter talking about how this was their first Pokémon game and how over-hated Gen 6 is. I've replayed this game enough to know I don't hate it. But damn, I'm old, and this game is kinda eh!
The sad start in the decline of Pokemon games. Mega Evolution and the first '3D' graphics still make it fun
first pkmn game i love thid game so much
This is the first and currently only mainline Pokemon game that I put in the effort to finish.
I don't ever want to finish it again.

eu realmente não sei oq pensar a respeito
mid game but had megas
Big pokemon city was cool, rest of it was ight
my favourite pokemon game
This is a great example of when a game enters your life at just the right time. It got me back into the series, all my friends played it, we all got into the competitive scene. If your looking for criticism then this entry is alright. feels unfinished in several spots, it's a pretty small, fairly underwhelming game that's too easy even by Pokemon standards. That said I loved this game, I really did and I probably have more nostalgia for this entry than for almost the rest of the series. Go in with an open mind and I hope you enjoy! And if you've played it before then I hope you were also swept away into the craze as I was or at least had a fun time
this one is overhated fr
pretty neat, i feel like it's missing something though. i definitely understand the devs struggles though because this was the first 3d pokemon game, they had to model everyone from scratch and around this time, that was roughly 700+ models. i just wish there was more, or atleast a pokemon z to improve upon this game.
Probably the beginning of Pokemon's fall to mediocrity. There's some dumb fun to be had (I really like how many cool 'mons are available early, even though it doesn't really matter on a first playthrough cause you get gifted so many strong pokemon that every endgame team is gonna look the same), but really nothing else to it.
mega evolução, mas podia ter mais jogo
My first ever Pokemon game and one that I have very fond memories of. In reality, I should rate this an objective 4, but I can't bring myself to!
Better than people give it credit for, but the story was lacking. Very fun generation for battling.
I wouldn't call it my favorite 3DS pokemon game, but I associate it with a very positive memory of when I first got it. That, and this game gave me my favorite Pokemon
loved these games when they launched, loved the addition of fairy types, and mega evos.
my inpatient ass went to wait outside my gamestop when it was coming out and a cop came up to me and asked where my parents.

For the time, Pokémon Y was the most visually appealing Pokémon game and it holds up by having unique French scenery. I liked playing through the whole thing and mostly enjoyed the music and going around the map. The issues I have with this version are most of the Pokémon behind Yveltal, Xerneas, and Zygarde are super unmemorable and I haven't really thought about any of them in comparison to the other games in the series. Also I think that this generation had the perfect opportunity to have a Pokémon Z but they totally missed it. Then the only other part of the game that I remember the most was the champion fight and some of the gym battles. A good Pokémon game but hasn't held up in comparison to Diamond or Ruby or White.
