Pokemon X and Y Review



Catching Pokemon was never this good.

I have anticipated reviewing this game because I have owned this since day one. I have beaten it and I was satisfied with the game. This will focus more on Pokemon X since that is the version I'm reviewing.
Pokemon X and Y are giant leaps in this RPG series. These games alone made Gen 6 my favorite generation right now. X and Y do so much right and little wrong.
The New Type
The new type this time around is the Fairy type. The type is a very good one. I'm glad they mixed the type with new and old Pokemon. I think they need to experiment with the type more and embrace this type.
Presentation
The presentation is rock solid. The cel-shading looks pretty good for a 3DS title. Though, the cel-shading is only in cutscenes and in battle. But, it still looks fine.
Gameplay/Mega Evolution
The new gameplay mechanic is mega evolution! These can only be used in battle once, so choose wisely. Other than that, not much is new. My highlights for Megas are Mega Absol (because it grows beautiful wings), Ampharos (because it's FABULOUS), Blastoise (because it's a water tank), and Gengar (because it's so badass).
Story
The story itself is pretty one-dimensional. It focuses on your journey and Team Flare's plot to fire off a weapon. The characters are well designed, from Diantha to AZ.
Verdict
Despite some mild frustation, mainly the Elite Four, and the plot, I love this game. Stop reading this review and go get this game.

The Score= 9/10
