Pokémon Y

The product arrived as described in a timely manner. The seller was very attentive to my request.

Showed up in a timely manner and in great condition.

I actually received a USA Version of this game. A lot of slimy sellers are deceptively listing the World Edition under the USA listing since the price is higher. You will need to ask around to find an honest seller. May take one or two orders. The build quality of the World Edition cartridge, box, and plastic film is much lower quality than the original USA release. The World Edition cartridges will work on US consoles, but it feels like a cheap knockoff. Very pleased I got what I paid for.

For the most part, its the quality Ive come to expect from a Pokemon game, but it still has a few glaring flaws. -First and foremost, they force you to pay a monthly fee to be able to transfer your Pokemon from the 5th gen games. Yes, I know the first month is free, giving you ample time to transfer everything that you cant catch in X or Y.. But its the principle of the thing: there is no reason that we shouldnt have been able to do with this new game what you could with the 5th gen games. What I mean to say, is that here isnt even a technical limitation: 3DS to DS communication IS possible, despite whatever the idiots defending this obvious cash-grab may tell you. Dont beleive me? The most recent Dragon Quest Monsters title, a Japan-only 3DS release, allowed you transfer monsters from previous titles for the DS, This isnt a case of using a 3DS in DS mode, like you might have done with your 5th gen games to transfer Pokemon over from 4th gen games... its true, undisputed, 3DS to DS communication. Nintendo could have done the same thing with X and Y, but chose not to. I could understand setting up this online transfer thing as an option for people who dont still own a DS, but the rest of us got fleeced. Hopefully, enough people will catch wind of this fact, and Nintendo will fix the problem for Pokemon Z or whatever they call the inevitable third version. -After you defeat the Elite 4, theres very little left to do other than to complete the Pokedex. The post-game hasnt been this pathetic since Red, Blue, and Yellow. For a game that I dropped $40 on, I should be getting a lot more. -Only one new evolved form of an old Pokemon (Sylveon)? Really? You can slap however many extra spikes on Charizard that you want, it doesnt change the fact that we still dont have evolved or pre-evolved forms that weve been requesting for a long time. Its not like you couldnt have made room for them. Did we really need an all-new family of moths/butterflies? Werent the FOUR we already had (Butterfree, Beautifly/Dustox, Mothim, Volcarona) enough? -While you have to give Game Freak credit for trying something different with Team Flare, I still feel that their story was really rather rushed. And what happened to AZ after your battle with him? Both issues could have been fixed with a better post game. In summation... the game lives up to a lot of the things Nintendo promised us (the visuals, trainer customization, Mega Evolution, etc), but it also suffers in a lot of other areas. Long time fans like myself will enjoy it (theres even a lot of little references to older games in it), but if you can only buy one Pokemon game this generation, I think Id recommend waiting for Z or whatever they call the third version. I have a feeling that it will expand on the story a bit, give us more of a post game (as usual), and maybe even give us a free transfer option. This is assuming, of course, that its more of a traditional third version and not a straight up sequel like Black 2 and White 2, but either way, you might want to wait.

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.

I believe that there is no need for another review of this game. I already finished it I took my time and have 150h of gamely mostly because I switched teams mid. Game several times. Its a great game for pokemon fans, If you played any pokemon game and liked it you will probably like this one a lot. If you have not had a chance to play any pokemon games check some videos before purchasing this as the style of the game might not be for everyone.

Bought this game for my daughter and when she put it in her 3ds error pops up. After research its because people powersave. Places like gamestop actually check what you try to sell them, apparently this seller does not.

all in all its a really good game. if you are thinking about getting this I would the battle system will blow your mind. and the 3D looks good and one of the most things I liked about it. is that all the pokemon you know and love are here. and the ones you dont (that is if you played red, blue, and yellow,) but the things I dont like about the game. is that yeah its to easy like way to easy I finished the game with lvl 60-70 pokemon and the legendary pokemon if you kill it w/o catching it you can try again. now all of you people that grew up in the 90s and played bed/blue ect know if you happen to kill mewtwo and did not save well that was that

I played the game

So instead of going on and on about why Pokemon is so awesome - Im going to give you the straight facts on why this Pokemon game is so superior than to those in the past. 1) You receive experience when you catch a Pokemon (finally) 2) Trainer customization (Well duh-doy! They should have had this from the beginning! Better late than never I guess!) 3) You can catch all the Pokemon (not just the new 150 or the old 150 or the weird 150 Pokemon from Super Platinum Indigo Version...?) I could go on until Im Pikablu in the face... but I wont. Get this game or Pokemon X.
