Pokémon Y

Game card not able to be read. Tried it in 2 different 3DSs and still did not work. Card looks badly damaged on the back

The missus played it nonstop so it worked! Got it as birthday present along with a 3DS as she kept hinting at NOT wanting a 3DS...hahha! She loved it. She beat it in a couple weeks, though. I wont talk about the game too much, since Ive only had the opportunity to have quick glances over shoulders, but all the 3D-ness is fun and the connectivity is great. I spent half an hour Wonder-trading (randomly trading with random other players) in hopes of getting legendaries...(ok, thats not happening). But beyond that, best check out some game review websites... Great buy. Its also available in the digital Nintendo store, but its more expensive, so if the two day (Prime) wait is not too long, get it here!

I love pokemon games, but this is one of the weakest Ive played. Its still very fun! But the new graphics do not make up for the lackluster length and depth. The game feels short and the new EXP share is really a cheap way of playing, and its availability really does make the game feel much shorter. Overall, the amount of monsters is good, graphics great, gameplay standard but shorter and overall a B grade pokemon game. Also the paris map really, really, really, really sucks.

This game is great as a nostalgia piece and on its own merits. The addition of Mega Evolutions and the Fairy type has changed the game for the better. Game Freaks didnt go overboard with new Pokemon, instead sprinkling them in and filling in the rest of the roster with great monsters from previous generations. This allows returning players a sense of newness and familiarity. The new battle sequences are also a much needed improvement over the basic sprite based battles from the past. The only two issues I really had with the game are with the difficulty and the online trading system. 1) Very early in the game the player receives an item that gives every Pokemon on the team half of the experience for the fight, even if they didnt participate. In the past it would only give one monster the bonus. While you can turn it on and off, leaving it on leads to your Pokemon being leaps and bounds ahead of any enemy you face. Another issue with difficulty is that the player rarely runs into other trainers with more than 2-3 Pokemon in their team. This makes battles quick and a little too easy. 2) The Global Trading System (GTS) is a little hit or miss. If you search for a Pokemon you want and then after that search put in a filter like only show trades where I own what they requested the trade will fail and take you back to the main screen of the 3DS or it will just say that the Pokemon has already been traded. This lead to frustration until I came across the issue while searching online. Those 2 issues are why I could not give the game a 5, but the game is a great improvement over previous games and would be good for any Pokemon players collection.

Im a long time Pokemon player, having only missed gen 2. I tend to log hundreds of hours on each title trying to catch them all and get a team of high-level Pokemon. Pokemon Y is a little bit of mixed bag for me, its most noteworthy feature is that between it and Pokemon X they have nearly every Pokemon available without having to trade between games. However, to counter that its story is some of the worst writing Ive seen in the franchise. There isnt a whole lot of post-game content with is usually what I spend the most time doing. All of that being said this is an ok game to start on if youve never played the franchise and between this and the 3rd gen remakes you can easily catch them all if that is what youre interested in doing.

The game works fine, but it would have been very nice if the vendor had stated that the box and instruction manual were not included. I would have still purchased it if they had, and rated it as 5 stars. Being upfront about a simple thing like this goes a long way towards customer satisfaction.

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.

there isnt really alot I can say that isnt laced with spoilers, however I will say one will find alot of old favorites, such as pikachu, ripe for the picking. the visuals are great, the gameplay is great, it sounds good and plays good. I will note, the game is not without issue, the 3d scenes, particularly in battles sometimes suffer from framerate drops when the 3d is active. simply sliding the slider down and shutting the 3d off fixes this and the game is quite playable in 2d mode. something I particularly like is the ability to link with other players and trade or battle over the internet, gone are the days where you absolutely HAD to be in the same room as the other person, be it for the old days of the link cable battle, or because the systems wireless has a short range. all in all, for long time fans of the franchise who have not played in a few years and are looking to get back into things..these are THE games to do it with.

It didn’t came sealed so if you are trying to collect it might not be the best also not US version, but still worked just fine

Love the game. Much easier than the originals with a lot to do. Its easier to make money although poke balls are useless just about come later in the game so just go buy the more expensive balls. Lots of pokemon to collect, the trading system is awesome. The safari friend zone is garbage because you cant get in or at least I have yet to figure out how due to the problems with the friend codes and what not. I also was annoyed that the trainers (the final four or whatever they are called) not only hide behind a bunch of other trainers before you even get to them but they are themed so its really easy to beat them with the right group. Also annoying that the other trainers you encounter use super potions all day long mid fight so you need to get tons of those too. Still a pretty cool game though.
