Can't believe we don't already have a thing for this. X/Y is now out and been played by most (probably 90% or more) 3DS players already. So I'd like to discuss the game as a whole. What did you like about it? What didn't you like? What can be changed for next time? Etc.

Also be warned viewers, spoilers here will be optional (considering most people who bought it already beat it fully), but I do encourage spoilers for those of us who have not got the game yet.

reason nobody made it is cause they discuss it on other things and have no reason to make one here

The trading in that game is shit, no one has figured out how to trade gen 3,2, and 4 starters to that game because of how freaking different it is.
I'll stick with Goku in Black 2 and White 2 thank you very much.

- - - - - - - - - -

And you know what I love about the starters too?
they all look dumb, Chespin evolves into some spiny nose piece of trash, and then some anime golem piece of shit.
Fennekin has only 1 good evolution, which is Braixen, but they had to screw it up and make some opera skirt r34.
The only starter that looks good to me is Froakie, it evolves into a ninja, which is sort of cool.

Until I see Sceptile, Swampert, Typhlosion, Meganium, and Feraligatr in this game, no thank you, I don't want posterboy pokemon on my team.

My cousin let me borrow his 3DS and I bought Pokémon Y.
Well.... This was the first time where I actually DISLIKED the design of the starters.
Second, this game is just too easy, like, real easy, it's easy to see that it was made to get new people into Pokémon, but even for them I think it's way too easy (wow that was a lot of "easy" in the same sentence).
And I agree with STC, the trading system is way to different and hard to figure out.
Also, I think super training is absolute BS, I like to make my Pokémon stronger by battling not by some app thing.
Besides all of these points, I think the game was enjoyable at least, it was fun.
I'll say the same that I say for Sonic Heroes, it's just fun. Nothing big and outstanding, just outright fun.

I guess I'll be that one guy in the corner that likes it. I love the battle effects and the backgrounds. I would say that it's and easy generation, but I had my Pokemon a bit over leveled (around +5-8). I liked the story. I found the trading easy, but the Wonder Trade can be a giant dick sometimes. I traded off my Golurk cause I didn't need it anymore. Then I got a Weedle. Because Weedle.

Is it true that the Mega Evolutions only last during the battle it's used? It happened in Pokemon: The Origins and I wasn't too sure if it was like that in X & Y.

Yes, you can't mega evolve multiple pokemon at the same time, and you can't mega evolve twice with the same pokemon.

Yeah. After the battle they return to normal. I honestly need to see Mega Alakazam's Special stats.

What's so stupid about it? I urges to make the player use strategy, so what? The story's great, the graphics are fantastic (for Pokemon), and the gameplay's fine. They released a 1.1 patch for the Lumiose shenanigans.

It's just another Generic Pokemon game with different graphics. I would rather buy Black and White 2 Than X & Y since I have yet to play any of the Black & White games. When I heard about the Mega Evolutions I thought they would permanently stay that way. I don't see a purpose for it if they didn't.

And considering the fact that the game feels very empty as in content, I feel like the game is just filled with posterboy pokemon and just too little difference ( graphics wise, there's a huge leap)

My friend got X last Saturday, he beat the elite four on Monday, he doesn't play nonstop( since I watched him) and he says he still has yet to find a legendary pokemon.
The fact is, the only way to capture a legendary pokemon( which are again, poster-boy pokemon; the legendary birds) you need to find them 10 times in a row each and they pop up in some dumb cave.
This does not sound fun at all.

Unless GF releases a patch that makes the game more enjoyable, maybe I'll get it, but I'm just waiting til' black Friday to get White 2.

Encounter them 10 times. Yeah. I'm done.

It's fucking Pokemon, what do you expect? Generation I didn't have anything special and nobody complained about it. You go on a journey with a rival, go catch Pokemon to fill the PokeDex, get badges, and beat the Champion. It's always been like that. Simple and clean. Now you have your expectations way to high. It's not supposed to be complicated. Black and White were the same way, and then they released Black 2 and White 2 and they had a whole bunch of crap added to it. It's always like that. Pokemon Z will probably have more content.

Generation I was Special at it's time. It was something new and exciting. But at this rate, It's like what the hell. I do think Graphic Wise it can engage new things but, Mega Evoultions just seem to be shitty with how it can only be done once. That was one of the main things that was caught my eye with X & Y and the new dimension.

"Pokemon Z will probably have more content" Okay, What are they possibly going to do now that could possibly make people want it more compared to the normal X & Y?

The makers/creators are probably running out of ideas for "good", new content.

Uh? You get the respective legendary on the box art IN the story line before you even get to the Elite Four. Your friend either doesn't know what a legendary is or they think they're terrible.

I personally think Mega Evos are overpowered terribly even in their current state. Even with EV'd Pokemon, Mega Evos just tear through everything without even trying (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2vHKy7owIw&safe=active). If you were allowed to have a team full of mega evolutions, chaos would ensue. Sure, it only can be done one time a battle, but you can still attack on the turn you evolve just to put the icing on the "goddammit i'm screwed" cake. Mega Evolution also give mediocre Pokemon that boost in power it REALLY needed. Mega Kangaskhan anyone?​ :U

I hope they don't make the same mistake for the next pokemon game. Anyway these issues won't stop me from getting this game.

X/Y is smaller in content than Black/White 2, but it's still a great game, the poke transporter is a way to get your pokemon from black/white 2. The pokemon are also not generic, they're unique and different. The wonder trade, send crap pokemon on it, if you send good ones then that's your fault.

I'm hoping to get Y or X on B.Friday, or some time before Jan. By that time, I can raise a Treecko in Dec. via the trading patch by that time. I'm really looking forward to what GF does in the future with this, but for now, I'll keep playing Pokemon Showdown.

But didn't they fix a bug in either Pokémon X or Pokémon Y: the save data got corrupted when you reached a certain town and saved in it. They had to release a fixed version for the fans.

I wish they made it so that when your friends are online, you can see them in your game world. Sort of like PokeMMO. So, no, that doesn't happen, but they should make it optional.
