Pokémon Y

I played the game

Im a big fan of the gen I and gen II games but went on a hiatus since then. Bought a 3ds and loved replaying the Yellow Version via virtual console. Again sparking my curiosity in the franchise... Wow have things changed.. First thing I noticed is how much easier the games have gotten. Literally no challenges,the gym leaders are a joke, even went through the elite 4 in one shot. I remember you used to have to work your ass off for that. Catching Pokémon is hardly ever a challenge in my experiences, lower hp and your good to go. The entire story is dull and is the same old thing, Use your Pokémon youve treated with love to defeat your opponents who use them for evil. Corny as hell ending by the way. Should I mention they are definetly running out of ideas for new Pokémon. Seriously ridiculous and boring designs. The WiFi functions such as GTS are a nice feature and graphics look nice. Other than that, I dont have much good to say. The Pokémon company is really just cashing out on a winning formula. Dont get me wrong, the idea of catching Pokémon and training them is always fun, just not as satisfying as it used to be.

Tried to complete my collection so I placed an order for this product which did not have the world edition tag on the title of the product. It should. Itll go into the collection, but gosh I feel like Ive made a bit of a mistake here.

I bought this game, and a Nintendo 3DS XL at the same time. I am a male between 18-24, and I used to play Pokemon when I was younger. I actually remember playing the Red and Blue versions on a regular GameBoy! Pokemon has definitely evolved since then. What I found nice is that they actually included the original Pokemon as well, bringing back memories from when I was younger. The game still has the same concept, pick your Pokemon, train them, and beat the eight (8) gym leaders. It has a large amount of new features that come with it compared to what I remember playing, but it adds to the fun and adventure of the game. I would definitely recommend this game.

It was pretty good. Very much liked the addition of Super Training, which made EV training much easier (but still tedious). I also like the great verity of Pokemon that you could catch on a single play through. Wonder Trading is amazing cause you never know what youll get, I even got a few legendaries. Story wise, not the strongest. Team Flare (the bad guys), were boring as sin, and there wasnt really much development. Playing through is pretty easy the the new EXP.Share, which give half the the exp gained by the battling Pokemon to your entire party. This makes it easy to level newly hatched Pokemon to be equal to the rest of your party.

Our boys - ages 10 and 15 (when we bought this) have really enjoyed this game. Our 10 year old bought it for our older son for Christmas because he knew he was getting Pokemon X for Christmas and he felt bad for our 15 year old! : ) LOL I told our 15 year old son that and he was truly touched and it made him that much more willing to play the game with our younger son! In Pokemon Y players will go to a place theyve never been before - the Kalos Region, and have the ability to see and collect new Pokemon theyve never encountered before - which is always fun. With X and Y it brings the count of Pokemon to well over 600 Pokemon - Im not sure exactly how many. There are forests, cities, and at the center of all of this is Luminose City - which from what the boys have shown me is all pretty cool. Our younger son really likes to show me when one of his Pokemon is about to evolve - it is pretty cool! In the new games, X and Y, there are some pretty tough Pokemon to catch - which makes the game all the more difficult - it adds a new and more challenging element. There are new moves, new attacks, and a couple of new types of Pokemon never before introduced in other games before - grass and leaf. It all makes for some exciting and interesting game play. If your kids are Pokemon players, Id highly recommend these two new games!

The Pokemon X and Y were ordered on October 18th and were to be delivered on the 21st. However they never made it to the destination. Spoke with Mohan, Amazon Rep last evening, November 7th and informed him how distraught I was that the grand kids did not receive the package. He told me that I could replace the items or have a refund...of course I asked for the replacement as the kids were excited and waiting for the games. Mohan informed me that they would receive it today, November 8th. You sure bet it got to them. Were they excited or what? Thank you Amazon you saved the day and helped a grandfather keep his status of being the best grandfather ever. :)

The item came in as new. I still cant believe this game has been out for nearly 10 years. Feeling old right now.

Ive played most of the past Pokemon games and they keep getting better with each iteration, and Pokemon X/Y makes the greatest leap forward in terms of interface and graphics, while continuing to follow the standard formula for core gameplay of this great series. The interface is now more intuitive than ever with little tweaks that make everything from inventory to game world easier and more efficient to navigate and manage. Youll wonder how you ever managed to get through some of the older titles without all the improvements that are to be found in X/Y. The updated graphics of the 3DS really bring all the pokemon to life, and the game world itself has never before been more breathtaking nor more beautiful to behold. There really has never been a better Pokemon game to play, for veterans and for new fans alike.

I have not played a Pokemon game since Pokemon Yellow on the Game Boy(GBC). I decided to pick this up around 15 years after I last dove into the Pokemon world after seeing a few trailers/reviews. Not sure why it took me this long to play this series of games again, but Im glad I did. I read from many that this is the perfect game for a person such as me(one who has an attachment to the original series/games) as there are quite a few homages to those games. The gameplay is similar to what I remember, except with a few snazzy and enjoyable changes here and there...besides just the beautiful graphics. It was a fun experience bringing my inner child out once again and exploring the world, collecting some interesting looking pokemon, and battling my way up the final pokemon league. The online/social features are pretty interesting as well. While I do wish there was a chatroom/easier way to communicate with friends and strangers a like it is still an interesting feature to be able to trade and battle pokemon. Maybe in another version down the road they will expand on these features...and perhaps even allow two or more friends explore the world together(and Id really enjoy a console version similar to Ni No Kuni!) If you havent played in a while, Id say grab this game before moving to Omega/Alpha.
