Pokémon Y

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.

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.

Ive been playing Pokemon since Red and Blue. When I found out about Pokemon X and Y along with the 3D graphics and Megaevolutions picking this up was a no brainer. I preordered my copy a weak ahead and it came in the mail today. The graphics are all 3D and theyre beautiful especially Santalune Forest which I just got to so I havent really gotten anywhere yet but I am lovin this game so far. I picked Chespin as my starter because its final evolution Chesnaught looks tough and powerful. If you like Pokemon then get this game ASAP, its a must buy. IMPORTANT Right now Nintendo is giving away a special Torchic through Mystery Gift thats holding a Mega Stone. For those who dont know a Mega Stone is what allows a Pokemon to Megaevolve. The Torchic will be available until January 15th so get it before its gone. Im picking mine up as soon as I reach the first Pokemon Center. Another important thing I feel I should mention is that I found out about a game breaking bug. A few players have reportedly experienced the bug after saving their game in Lumiose City. Apparently their game freezes up when they try to load their file. Not all games are affected though and Im one of the lucky ones that didnt have the bug. Nintendo has released an update on the eShop that fixes the bug so make sure you download it before you reach Lumiose City.

This game had so much hype over the last few months... And it definitely deserved it! Although this may be since I am a Pokémon fanboy, I absolutely loved the constant references to older games and the extremely well-made music all throughout this game. The 3D models were stunning, especially since it was the first time 3D models were used in a mainstream Pokémon game, and it made the battles so much more dynamic. The story was lacking however, and though I do not want to spoil too much, try not to expect any major plot twists or anything like those seen in Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2; but then again, Pokémon is less about the story and more about the adventure anyway, so this is not too huge a flaw. Overall, I adore this game and although I did not cover some other amazing features in it (Mega Evolution, the friend system, customizing your character, etc.), it is absolutely beautiful and I would love to see all Pokéfans, old and new, to play this game and enjoy it as much as I did.

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 product photo shows the US version box, but you will almost certainly get the world (UAE / Singapore / Malaysia) version instead as of 2022. However, the cartridge sticker and the game on the cartridge are entirely identical to the US version, and work on North American 3DS/2DS consoles. It even says USA in the product code on the cartridge. The only differences are the paper insert in the case and the pamphlet inside the case. If youre collecting cases, youll want to look elsewhere. But if youre collecting cartridges or just want to play the game, the listings here are great. If youve played Pokemon X, you know what youre in for. If youre coming from the older DS games, this ones similar though perhaps easier. I found X/Y definitely lower difficulty, but thats partly because I did the petting, feeding and minigames in the Amie feature. Do this and your Pokemon will gain boosted exp the same as if they were holding a Lucky Egg, theyll get more crits, and theyll randomly hang on with 1 HP when they would otherwise faint, sometimes for multiple turns in a row. If you want more difficulty, dont pet your Pokemon. If youre coming from the Switch games or Alola, this one is a little more challenging, and more in the traditional Pokemon formula. You travel from town to town defeating eight gym leaders and then fight the Elite Four and then the champion. You dont get ride pagers or taxis. You have to travel with Pokemon that youve taught HM moves to in order to chop trees, shove rocks, cross water, etc. While the game does support 3D mode in caves and battles, I strongly suggest turning it off in battles. It tends to make the framerate awful. If you have a modded New 3DS console, you can use Luma to enable the faster New 3DS clock speeds for the game, which fixes all framerate issues, even in 3D. Also, a tip: Download the update data. Not only is it required for online multiplayer, but it fixes a save corruption glitch. If you dont get the update, DO NOT save the game while outside in the outer ring portion of Lumiose City -- if you save here and dont have the update, theres a small chance your save will be corrupted and youll need to start over.

I dont consider myself a huge fan of the Pokemon series. Ive played Ruby, Black 2, and Y, and liked them all but just cant get into them as much as other people. With Y, I was hoping that would all change. I wanted to get an Iv/Ev trained team with good Pokemon and learn the strategies, because why not? But thats currently out of reach. You cant transfer Pokemon from older games. You have to wait for the $5 a year Pokemon bank coming out December 27th, 2013 in US, assuming it isnt delayed. Sure, you get a month free, but thats only good for people who bought it beforehand. Maybe this wouldnt be so bad if I didnt have to wait two months to use it? Does this detract from the game itself? No, the game is pretty good with excellent graphics, good music and fun gameplay, and of course creative Pokemon. Does it detract from my enjoyment? Yes, it does. I dont want to recatch a ton of Pokemon I planned on training, and I dont want to have to miss out on the extras in Y just because Im stuck with Black 2. For now, this goes back on my shelf, and I probably wont be picking it up again (I did beat the game). If youve never played Pokemon before, or you dont care about transferring Pokemon from older games, then this is a 5 star game. I admit, I should have been more informed but despite following many news sites, I apparently didnt pay attention enough to know this major drawback. If I had known, I wouldnt have bought the game, and I wouldnt be making this review. I honestly never thought I would be REQUIRED to use the Pokemon Bank to transfer Pokemon to Y, that baffles me.

El producto llegó en excelentes condiciones, sellado y funcionando perfectamente. No es la versión regular, es una de Arabia/Singapur. Así que la publicación está errada ya que no especifica en ningún lugar lo de la versión.

Showed up in a timely manner and in great condition.

Best game in the series since the original silver and gold. Only reason I wont give it 5 stars is that most of the game doesnt play in 3D. The battles are poorly done in 3D with very little depth and only a few sections actually use it well. Kind of a disappointing feature for a game system built to play 3D content. However the game itself is very good and thoroughly enjoyable.
