Pokemon X & Y feel like a huge visual upgrade for the series, but not a huge gameplay one. Kalos is a beautiful region, and seeing Pokemon in full 3D for the first time was genuinely impressive, but underneath that presentation, the game feels a bit too safe. The adventure is very linear, and the difficulty is extremely low. You’re constantly being guided from one point to the next, and it rarely feels like the game is challenging you in any meaningful way. Even major battles go down quickly if you have a basic understanding of type matchups. Mega Evolution is the standout addition here. It added a lot of excitement to battles and made certain Pokemon feel much more impactful, even if it was later underused in future games. Outside of that, though, Kalos doesn’t do much to stand out in terms of story or ****’s a visually strong entry with some cool ideas, but it doesn’t fully take advantage of the leap to a new generation of hardware.

It's a good game but the difficulty bad the story ruins it a some point. It was loved at the start but with the years it becomes one of the most hated Pokémon but I think it's not that bad

Just like with Pokemon X, it's garbage and one of the worst in the series, due to its non-existent difficulty, forgettable story, Kalos is linear, has disastrous characters, and a pathetic post-game.

1.招式機不會消耗,拿到一個就可以無限給能學得寶可夢學 2.四天王、冠軍、道館的內部場景刻劃細膩,彰顯風格 3.迷宮、道路中途,會有NPC補給休息回滿,方便冒險 4.Mega進化、妖精系、首次3D化 5.建築風格法國,場景建構細緻 6.我26小時通關,長度以寶可夢來說算偏短 7.學習裝置練等很快,加上流程不長,很適合入門玩家 缺點,劇情較為單薄,有幾個道館館主甚至沒劇情,就少一個完全版,因此給7分

That's what Pokémon Legends za It should have been a complete game, not just one.I highly recommend this city, which is 1000 times better than Legend za

the only reason this games has a rating higher than 5 is because of the 3d. i believe that if this game was in 2d, it would've gotten a 30-50 due to bland story, unlikeable designs, and an overall lack-luster experience. and the regional gimmick? its bland too. megas are just temporary boosts of power that make your pokemon look odd. during my playthrough, i have only used megas once, due to being required to. there is no reason to play this game over sun/moon or ultra sun/moon.

This is where pokemon started to be on the easier side, not really easy i'd say, just that the grind because way simplier because of multi expbeing on the whole team, this isn't that bad considering most of the time in pokemon you were spending it leveling up more than getting throught the story, talking about story is decent, not black and white level of story but still really fun

un passaggio grafico che avrebbe dovuto segnare pokemon in modo positivo e da molti definito l'inizio della fine, il che non è tanto falso ma neanche del tutto vero XY a distanza di 12 anni sono un titolo riuscito a metà ma comunque piacevole. 7.5/10

Muy fácil, sin megas no es nada. Todo muy simple. Además de que la barra de dificultad es muy baja gracias al repartir experiencia.

This is the beginning of the truly bad trends. Poorly rendered environments. Annoying characters and companions. Extremely short and uninspiring story. Battle Scenes are atrocious. Camera is zoomed way too far in in most areas. Overly bright exposure in a lot of areas. Lackluster pokemon roster, they just dump old gen on you and it kind of ruins the game. Mega evolutions while cool, make the game E-Z mode, you need hacks to make it challenging. The integration of the Poke-Mart into the Pokemon Center is not a welcoming change. The overworld design and map layout is bad, confusing. Lumiose city controls is some of the worst programming I think I've seen. Gym leaders have 3 weak pokemon. Just horrible balancing in general. I wanted to like this game but that is just the reality.

I only got this game instead of Pokémon X because Yveltal looked cooler than Xerneas but I don't think I regret it. The mega evos are great and the 3D landscape is also amazing. It's just that for me it's pretty slow.

The definitive jump of pokeon to 3D, it seems to me a game that has an impressive potential, they did not exploit themes like the megaevolution which is the best mechanics in the history of pokemon or the Kalos war and characters like AZ, it seems to me a beautiful game, Luminalia city seems to me one of the best cities in the entire pokemon franchise, the biggest problem with this game is the bad team that are the worst in the franchise because honestly I have never understood what they are looking for, besides the story is bad, but with a lot of potential to exploit, as for 3D it seems to me that it is well done although some sprites seem improvable besides that I think that pokemon was made to be played in 2D but this jump was needed, the difficulty of this game is mediocre and that is a big problem, the pokedex is not bad either, with all the weapons they give you to pass the game it should be more challenging, for example in roms where the difficulty is increased the game improves a lot, in conclusion I think it is a game with potential crazy that if it is exploited in future installments of this region it could be one of the best in the franchise, I give it a rating of 76

By far the worst pokemon of all entries. The game was unbelievably boring for both the region and the story. Kalos region is incredibly blend, uninspiring, and incoherent. The game pacing is unbearable. It's incredibly slow at the start, and slowly the story got extremely fast once you got the mega evolution where you would clear 2-3 gyms in 1 hour. In fact, the game would get even faster than that all the way until you are about to beat the main villain. Then they will hit you with 10 team flare battles from time to time with the exact same pokemons. and after beating the villain, the game would get slow IMMEDIATELY, catching you completely off guard as you were expecting some good stories after beating the world ending villain. I genuinely do not believe anyone could make a worse game than this.

Best Pokemon to me. Before that it was Pokemon Crystal but this one I've enjoyed the most. Finally fast gameplay again similar to Pokemon Crystal. Outstanding music and good graphics played it more than 700h.

I had a lot of fun playing through Y again and that is awesome. I was a tiny guy when this first came out and I loved it a lot just because it was Pokémon, but coming back to it made me realize that Kalos really caters to what I tend to look for in a game. I like having silly little creatures, looking at pretty visuals and running around a pretty world. I love how many silly towns without gym leaders there are that just look very nice like Dendemille and Ambrette town. I love it when I sit down on a bench in Santalune City and I can see the city from a separate point of view. The music is very pleasant and memorable and it makes every route feel like a tangible part of the journey. The game definitely is very easy, but if the game is fun I don't really care about that much. I don't have anything to prove and it's wonderful just to coast and enjoy yourself. With all this said the story and writing is ass ass it is so bad. You shouldn't expect a great story from any Pokemon game but I did not realize just how bad X and Y had it. The big group of rivals definitely shows this the most, but I never really minded it at all. Since I don't go in looking for the story it doesn't upset me when it isn't good, but it was just so bad that I noticed it anyways. There is a really good chance that you will not like this game and that is so fine. I don't think that it's as impressive as Black and White in a lot of ways and I definitely don't think that it is good enough to make a comeback in pop culture by itself like Black and White has. This is a game that you liked if you played it when you were younger or if you're going in with specific things you want to get out of it, and I had both of those things going in and it turned out great. I do think that the game is a 7/10, but I think it's asinine that a 7/10 is treated as "Mixed or Average" and I don't feel comfortable putting this game under that category.

Great entry into 3D Pokemon games. Although it lacks features compared to the 2D entries, this has got to have been one of the best Pokemon generations ever. Had a blast playing this in high school.

pokemon xy sono stati dei buoni primi approcci al 3d per pokemon ma con numerose pecche e occasioni sprecate ma anche un titolo memorabile per svariati fattori. 7.5/10

The first Mainline Pokemon game to bring 3D to the series, and I'll happily hold my ground when I say its my favourite game in the entire series. Firstly, the visuals are astonishing for being the first 3D game, with beautiful lighting from the fields and dark forests, to the beaches and seas across the land. The Pokemon models and moves are really expressive with vibrant colours that really bring them to life. Pair this alongside the astonishing soundtrack, with motivational, sad, exiting and dramatic music at every turn. The story is quite normal for a Pokemon game but doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the experience, with you and your new friend group exploring to achieve their dreams, whether it be Tierno wanting to become a famous dancer, to Trevor wanting to compete the Pokedex. There are various events in the story that bring you closer, from exploring the pokemon mansion, to going to a haunted house or simply having friendly battles every now and again. Pair that with the main villain Lysandre always thinking about going through with his plan of launching the ultimate weapon because of humankind ruining the beauty of the world, which leads to a moral dilemma. There are also different histories to explore, whether it be the great Pokemon war 1000 years ago, to AZ and his Floette, or the connection between Xerneas, Yveltal and Zygarde. In terms of gameplay the early access to the EXP. Share can allow you to choose the difficulty of your playthrough, with turning it off being challenging and keeping it on making it easier for more casual players to progress. There are also features like super training that make certain tasks such as EV training much easier. The game is generally happy to give you the experience you want, giving you features that allow you to fast-travel through the game, but not making them mandatory. The gimmick of this generation is Mega Evolution, and is honestly incredible, giving Pokemon that were previously unusable a chance in the spotlight, as well as just being really cool in general. While many argue the post-game is poor, I found it interesting. There are many different things you can try, whether it be the side-story with Looker and Anna, the Friend Safari or the battle château that give you different things to do. Overall, I've never had so much fun playing a Pokemon game and highly recommend it if you haven't played it already.

First of all, I'd like to point out that this is the first Pokemon game (in the main series) to be entirely in 3D. GAME FREAK has achieved this perfectly, offering us a rich and beautiful adventure (for the 3DS) in the country where I've lived since I was born, France. The villains are very good (not as good as in Black and White, but you can't do better than Team Plasma, and I'm not open to debate).

This is a masterpiece. Before the servers shut down, this was my jam, the anticipation of the wonder trade theme, the story. The trading. It was all so.... addicting but beautiful. The story mainly gets dogged on but heavily enjoyed it. Would 100% recommend no hesitation. This was the good old days. Damn I yap....

Pokemon Y marks the transition into 3d for the franchise. The 3d visuals feel very fresh and new with the Pokemon models being great. The issue of Pokemon Y are the bad battle designs and bad story. The story has a very flat development with some parts of it feeling unfinished. In terms of battle design, giving the elite 4 only 4 pokemon with no mega evolutions was very underwhelming with a 5 pokemon team for the champion making it worse. Pokemon Y does redeem itself very well in terms of its gameplay. Gameplay is very fun as with all Pokemon games with mega evolutions providing the best gimmick of any pokemon games. Online functions are also impeccable for its time in this game.

Muy mal juego de pokemon, diseño circular sobre una ciudad grande, desde teselia se recicla este concepto. Mejor diseños de los pokemon, pero juego soso, mal optimizado, va mal, no todo el juego es en 3d, una verguenza.

Pokemon Y n X, probablemente los juegos menos disfrutables de la franquicia Pokemon. Esto en mi opinion se debe por la baja dificultad del juego y el inicio exageradamente aburrido que se nos presenta. JKL

The transition to 3D was a big leap for Pokémon, but it cost them a lot in the process. The Kalos region is fine I guess, but the story is god awful and there really isn't a lot to do in general. The Pokémon themselves lost a lot of personality coming into 3D (Megas were cool at least).

In the long run, Pokemon X and Y excels at being the closest we got to really living in a Pokemon World, but as a game it isn't nearly as good as it could have been. With the somewhat forced Team Flare, linear path given, and constant hand-holding throughout Pokemon X and Y; the game(s) overall just end on a more bitter note than a joyous one. The journey through Kalos is fun for a while, but when its over there is really nothing else to do aside from training a competitive team or collecting them all.

The main series of Pokemon games have never suffered from not being re-playable. It is part of why Pokemon games have a higher resale value than some others. The truly dedicated players out there keep every copy of Pokemon that they have obtained, which makes for slim pickings in the pre-owned Pokemon inventory of some stores. Perhaps the two biggest selling points of Pokemon X & Y are the over 60 new Kalos region Pokemon and the mega evolutions. The increased size of the Pokedex appeals to the collectors while the mega evolutions appeal to the competitive players. All in all, these games are worthy of a Pokemon player's attention.

Really solid and the best new gen Pokémon game. This game really gets dunked on, but it's better and more innovative than most new gen Pokémon games including ORAS. Fun world traversal, Mega-Evolution, great graphics and actually interesting villains for once in a franchise known for extremely subpar stories. Barely in 4th place, this entry is memorable and a testament to how these games can still be amazing if the effort is put in.

I formerly disliked this game along with the rest of Generation six when I first tried them, but once I got to actually appreciate the good parts I ended up really liking this game. Mega Evolution is my favorite generational gimmick, because it takes Pokemon I already liked and makes them even better! I do think this game is somewhat too easy and lacks postgame, but other than that I recommend this over the Switch games namely SwoShiCrap and ScatVomit. UPDATE: I accidentally put a 2/10 on this game, I did not intend to do so. I was writing the review from my mobile device and may have accidentally touched the wrong button. Sorry for the inconvenince, my actual score is 9/10.

El peor de la saga, fácil y poco memorable, su mayor pecado es el regalar 4 pokémons casi obligatorios para completar la aventura, se pierde el factor RPG por completo, pero el trabajo de los modelos 3d es bastante decente.

Despite welcoming Pokemon into the 3D world, Pokemon Y fails to take the challenge seriously. Unnoteworthy characters, a terrible bad guy team, muted ambiance, and a bare-bones narrative culminate in a title better left unplayed among plenty of others that came before and after it.

This game was ok it was easy but like the fun and bad kind of funny. But i didn’t like that every gym leader has 3 Pokémon and every E4 member has 4 Pokémon which makes sense but come on Nintendo that’s to easy we’re not 5 year olds

This is my favourite Pokémon game. This is the game that revived the series as it added many new features. This is the game that was universally adored at release to only be hated one day out of the blue. When asking why “Pokémon fans” suddenly hated this game they say it’s too easy and empty. Easy, yes. Pokémon games aren’t hard. Empty, no. It’s the same as every other Pokémon game. Gyms, Defeat bad team, Defeat E4, have mini side quest (looker), catch all Pokémon. So if the other Pokémon games aren’t empty, this one isn’t either. This is the game I had the most fun with. 10/10

It's a very mediocre game overall. Probably the most okay Pokémon game there is. There's nothing wrong about it, it just isn't all too special. The jump to 3D was appreciated and desperately needed.

Dieses Spiel verdient Punkte dafür, dass es das erste 3D-Pokémon-Spiel ist, und großen Respekt dafür, dass jedes Pokémon ein neues 3D-Modell ist, plus die erstaunliche Zugabe von Megas, aber zur Hölle, das Spiel ist so schmerzhaft einfach und langweilig, alle Charaktere haben wie immer ein großartiges Design in pokemon aber haben die keinen charme oder persönlichkeit, die interessantesten konzepte des spiels sind für insgesamt 3 sekunden drin
