Pokémon Y

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.

love the new pokemon and it have really good mechanics. i was worried about the 3d pokemon design but they work great. the story like is the same than every pokemon game just with slightly differences. the cities are nice to look at and you can feel different feeling for each new city. the character are a little nicer than the other pokemon version but i find them really dorky. i am referring to the rapper in the game. he is totally out of place here, meaning he have nothing to do as a a second main character here and feel like he is an extract in the game.

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

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.

I LOVE that you can customize your character; clothes, hair, and they even have a darker skin tone for my character. This game is a lot more social than the predecessors, from adding people to your friends list and such. The world is not flat. The camera moves on its own as you walk around and it actually feels like you are in the game. It was also nice they brought back the old Pokémon from previous generations. I dont see the purpose of Megaevolution. I dont see the purpose of Fairy types when Ice and Dragon moves are actually a weakness to Dragon type Pokémon. And...the rest of the game is just boring for me. The more I played it, the more I got less interested in the story. Im not going to complain that the game is too easy because Pokémon is a kids game, its suppose to be easy. The gym leaders and the Elite Four arent difficult to fight. And the story/plot was boring, Pokémon was a lot more interesting. And even after you beat the game, theres nothing else to do.

This game is awesome. I havent played a pokemon game since silver pokemon games have essentially been the same since then but this one just changes all that. Pokemon battles are alot nicer now the graphics finally graduated to 3d models instead of 2d pictures making noises. Im glad I bought this along with my new 3DS XL (zelda edition). The core game is still there but finally got the much needed visual polish if youre an old fan of the series you may want to come back as the old starter pokemon are in this and have a new mega evolution which is really awesome breathes new life into old classics.

Since I have never played this game or any other Pokemon video game. This review is based on what my 12 yr. old son has to say about it so far. Hes only played this video game for 3 days. What you read below..... I have NO IDEA what my son is talking about. Hopefully, you do. Pros: -Pokemon Trainer feature allows you to update the base status of a Pokemon without actually leveling it up first. -The Mega Evolution allows a fully evolved pokemon to evolve one more time making it stronger only while it is battling. -It used to be where you can equip an item onto just one Pokemon. Now certain Pokemon Items can be used on all the Pokemon in your party. -The Pokemon characters and the constant motion during the battle rounds has greatly improved while playing in 3D mode. My son normally doesnt care playing while in 3D mode, but for this game he has used 3D mode more than he ever has before. Cons: They brought back Pokemons from old Pokemon games (or Pokemon regions). While my son doesnt mind the old Pokemon characters, he considers this a con because he was to be introduced to new Pokemon characters. Thats all he has to say for now. I will update as soon as he has more to say about it. Hope this review helps a bit.

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.

Coming from someone who hated Black and White... I love this game. 3D is used sparingly but its wonderful when it does come in. Its not as easy as other newer Pokemon games. The availability of Pokemon with hidden natures is nice (unlike Black and White) but... I do take issue with having to go online (Reddit, anyone?) and add a ton of strangers to my DS friends list in order to get said hidden natures and friend safaris... it was not a fun process. I do respect that the Elite four was actually kind of difficult, unlike some other games in the series. Breeding was drastically improved. The Battle Maison is pretty great. The EXP share, also, was dramatically improved. I find its almost too easy to get levels, sometimes... but I cant really complain when leveling isnt everything and grinding gets kind of boring. I appreciate that it makes your stats and your move choices more important because everyone has insanely high-level parties. I wish it didnt totally blow Sun and Moon away. Its a much better game and so its hard for me to move forward in the series.

I bought this game, and a Nintendo 3DS XL at the same time. I am a male between 18-24, and I used to play Pokemon when I was younger. I actually remember playing the Red and Blue versions on a regular GameBoy! Pokemon has definitely evolved since then. What I found nice is that they actually included the original Pokemon as well, bringing back memories from when I was younger. The game still has the same concept, pick your Pokemon, train them, and beat the eight (8) gym leaders. It has a large amount of new features that come with it compared to what I remember playing, but it adds to the fun and adventure of the game. I would definitely recommend this game.
