    For the most part, it's another fantastic entry to the series. Moreover, it's a great game to re-introduce old fans of the series with its graphical and mechanical upgrades. If Pokemon X or Y interests you, consider picking it up; unless you're completely turned off of the franchise, you'll find much to enjoy in this 3DS game.

    Pokémon X and Y makes the classic series feel brand new. I can remember the feeling I had when playing Pokémon Red for the first time and when I began this new journey and it instantly felt like I was ten years old again. For the first time in years, doing things like running into and catching Pidgey felt brand new.

    There’s so much to say about Pokémon X and Y that it would be a disservice not to simply suggest that you pick either game up and set out on your own journey of discovery. Regardless of the challenges needed to be overcome for this latest generational leap, each version easily amounts to the most thorough experiences to have ever graced the series through the years. Be sure that you don’t miss out.

    ...are a perfect place for both veteran Pokemon trainers to get back into the series and newcomers to start their journey alike

    Even with all of these renovations, innovations, and--yes, we're going to just go ahead and say it--evolutions, Pokémon X and Y still feel like a Pokémon game in the end. Sure, you're going to spend some of the time petting your Pikachu and you get to choose multiple starters, but X and Y eventually land in the comfort zone fans have found themselves in for six generations.

    Pokémon’s X and Y are a massive step forward for the franchise and will stand for years to come as arguably the best Pokémon game yet, if not the best RPG on the market, and definitely a reason to own a 3DS on its own. Even the shoehorned story is vaguely interesting. Pokémon games have gone through a lot of changes through the years but thankfully this one stuck to its core strengths and came out on top, with only a few niggling remarks (that don’t take away from the experience) to make my resounding last statement is that this latest generation is damn near perfect.

    As much praise this game gets it is indeed a good game but just I cant put it higher than Pokémon ORAS, but I do put it higher than Black and white tbhhhhh. But great starter game to introduce you to Megas and all this 3dnes.

    This was the first pokemon game I ever played and it is a very good game I love the gimmick of mega evolution and it is overall a great game, however going back to replay the game now it is way to easy and is definitely directed for children at a younger age. This is why I think the Pokémon games should have different modes/difficulties. However that is the only complaint I have for this game as it is overall a great game.

    My absolute favourite entry to this storied franchise. This was the game to really put Pokemon back where it belongs. They made big risks with incorporating mega-evolution + a tiny bit bolder with the story elements this time around. The cities and aesthetics have never been better as they harnessed all of the power 3DS had to offer. I must have a 1000 hours sunk into this by now, and I still venture back from time to time. This entry is highly recommended by new players
