Pokémon Y

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.

1) Animation/Game Functionality A+ This game is beautiful and so far I haven’t found a bug despite its sophisticated functions. You can travel many ways and the button work fine. This game also finally figured out how to use the touch pad effectively. It is where we get trades and the mini-games to help with EVs. It also makes organizing the box a lot easier than other games. 2) Exploration- The World A+ This game has the best exploration than any other pokemon game in the series. The places between gyms you go through are numerous. There are about two cities explored between every gym. This game also makes the city have more than pokemon as their center. There are coffee places and hotels in major cities. There are also clothes stores where the character can buy new clothes. The routes are beautiful and diverse as well. 3) Pokemon B This is where this game gets out of hand. This region has too much pokemon. Around 450 and has 3 pokedexes. Every route has about 4 new species not in previous routes. It can be overwhelming or good for collectors depending on perspective. This game may be better for collectors that do have access to internet and want to collect as much as possible. I consider my self a collector and raiser. I am currently raising two boxes of pokemon to level 100. I normally go for one but this game has too much pokemon to narrow down to just one box. The new pokemon are actually good additions. The fairy type also add new complex but it is annoying encounter a past normal type and not being able to use the same strategies against it. 4) Raising Pokemon Mixed This is where the problem maybe with this game. Getting experience pts is ridiculously easy. Pokemon don’t split experience like they use to. They now get full points when participating. Also exp. Share works ridiculously well. It is too easy to get experience points. Getting EVs does hurt from this but there is a new mini-game to help raise evs. I am not one that likes in-game mini games so the quality is unclear. Happiness and egg hatching is easier because a lot of items are given to help these things go a lot faster. 5) Trade/ Link Battle A+ Trading has two major changes. One is that there is no need to go to Pokemon Center another is that there is now Wonder Trade. Wonder trade is where you trade a pokemon of yours to get a random pokemon from somebody else. It is either good or bad depending on need. It is good to fill pokedex of easy to moderate to catch pokemon. I find it to be fun because I get easy to get pokemon from Sapphire/Ruby that don’t come in Y/X. 6) The Story C Pokemon games could use real storyline. Black and White actually had good premise for a pokemon game. This one has the lamest storyline where the bad guys make less sense than Team Galaxy from Generation 4. Nobody plays pokemon for the story but it could help.

I was a bit skeptical about buying this game since I have not played any pokemon games for about a year, but I must say that game freak definitely raised the bar on this game and completely innovated a series that was already amazing in the first place. The game is great for newcomers into the series and veterans alike, because of the simplicity of the game, yet challenging meta-game (Competitive Battling) for the more experienced players who are confident in their skills in battle against other players connected over the internet. The Player Search System or PSS was only one of the great additions and innovations game freak used to improve interaction with other real life players for doing such things as battling and trading over the internet. Overall this game is one of my favorite pokemon games due to its completely original story and new pokemon designs, not to mention the next-level innovation that game freak put onto this game.

Pokémon Y was advertised as the U.S. version on the photos but I received a World Edition, which was a little disappointing. The case has very minor damages from shipping but nothing bothersome. The game itself works perfectly!

I have always been a big fan of Pokemon since Pokemon Red and Blue came out, i got Red and a Red Game Boy Color at the time to match. So when i heard that a new Pokemon was coming out that was supposed to bring back all the things we loved about the original but make it 3D i was super excited! I was weary of the things people were saying about the new pokemon that they were awful yatta yatta, but when i played and realized that they not only had new pokemon but also had all the originals from the first generation and in abundance i was esctatic!!!! So far this game is awesome, it is the best Pokemon ever! The Super Training is great for super boosting your pokemons stats above and beyond what they would normally be so you can dominate any pokemon battle. the Pokemon-Amie is an interesting way to bond with your pokemon and play some side games away from pokemon. I highly recommend this game for new players and lovers of the original pokemon games!

This game is definitely one of my favorites in the franchise, not only because of its new 3D visuals and new features, but also because it made me a fan of the series again like I was many years ago. This game did a lot right, with its new 3D gameplay, brilliant music and songs, and even great online capabilities. Its the kind of game that will take up probably a hundred or more hours of your life if you are a long time Pokemon fan. There is so much to do in this game, even after you beat the main story. You can do battles online against people, do online trades, and even get your Pokemon from past games to it using the Pokemon Bank application available in the Nintendo eShop. Pokemon X/Y is a must if you have a 3DS, and dont think its just for kids, its for all ages.

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.

Ive only been playing since Sinho(D/P), but this is by far my favorite of the series(even including ASOR). The end of the main story actually made me tear up, and Ive never had a Nintendo game do that. Not to mention all the improvements to the gameplay itself. I had high expectations for this game, and it exceeded all of them. B+W was a disappointment to many(myself included, why it took me so long to get this game), but I beg you not to give up on the new generations just yet.

I love Pokemon Y. When it first came out and in the following months, I maxed out the timer on the hours played. This is a fantastic game and I was super excited to play through it again. The sellers customer service is also excellent! I had some questions about my order and the answered back within 10 minutes

Undoubtedly my favorite Pokemon game yet. After playing through White and White 2 (as well as having a game in all of the other generations), this is a breath of fresh air. Ive been dying for another Pokemon game like Colosseum/XD and this sort of filled my request by having 3D sprites. What was truly a winner was the sound track though. 8-bit tracks are ditched, old Pokemon voices are dropped, the sound is crisp, clean, and glorious. Of course, this isnt the only thing to talk about. The numerous online improvements are awesome, the sprites are gorgeous, breeding is easier, to put it shortly, there are very few complaints. I just wish I could do 6vs6 battles over Wifi with random people. Its small though, and for that one loss, there are one thousand wins.
