  • Pokemon X and Y are some of my Favorite games of all time. But For some reason Gamefreak is acting like these Games never existed. There was no Pokemon Z and Mega Evolutions were completely thrown to the way side for reasons I cannot explain.
    Really upsetting ain't it?
    Even more upsetting is the Fact that these Games Came out 10 YEARS ago. Which is completely insane to think about.
    How do these games hold up? Are Pokemon X and Y actually hidden gems or should they be rightfully forgotten?
    Well let's find out in this mini Retrospective!

    I see we're finally reaching that point in X&Y's lifespan that Black/White had reached in 2018.
    Started out hated during release.
    Forgotten about for 2-3 generations.
    Now beloved by the people who grew up with those games.
    In all honesty though as someone who grew up playing Gen 3 and 4, when I booted up ORAS the other day I felt a deep sadness in my chest that I couldn't go back to the days when XY and later ORAS launched. I remember opening up TH-cam and watching some popular youtubers boot up and play their games for the first time. I remember the first time I ever tried making a competitive team, after I hatched my shiny blissey in front of the battle mansion near the daycare route in X/Y.
    Well past my childhood, almost into my early adult life, Gen 6 provided lasting memories with me that I won't forget. And I know in 50 years from now, I'm going to be that boomer bitching about how "kids these days" don't know Pokemon, and how good we had it back in the day.

    XY changed a lot. It was the first time ever a Pokémon main series game gets released worldwide on the same day. Before that it was the norm that the japanese get it first, then the internet is full of spoilers for the next months until the game comes out in other countries. Imagine coming from that and then finally getting to experience getting your game the same day as the japanese fans do. You could enjoy the game together at the same with everyone else in the world, everyone was anticipating the exact same day. That was a novelty back then in the Pokémon world. It felt like a big worldwide event.

    Pokémon X and Y have great features, great graphics, and almost perfect roster of creatures, one of the most underrated soundtracks in the series, the best Pokemon interaction features in the form of pokemon amie and its various minigames, multiplayer features and online interface, and super training. I just really wish it did more with the Story of the ultimate weapon and AZ as well as some locals like the powerplant and sun dial. And that the post game were much more vast with more areas to explore.

    Pokemon Y was my first ever pokemon game because I was never interested in Pokemon until then. It still holds a forever special place in my heart. The fashion made me fall in love with it immediately and I fondly remember just spending ages skating around because I loved the controls. Mega evolutions were just the final cherry on top, I thought they were so cool lol, I really liked the graphics too :')

    I have to admit that the story was really short and gave us poor post game content. What I like about this game was the introduction of the phenomenal gimmick, fashion choices, party exp. share, and the 3D world. The game just feels so rushed but I still love the game since I had a lot of friends to play with.
    Also, I made Serena dressed like her current outfit on the final season of Pokemon Journeys. Her outfit was pretty inspired from the in-game assets.

      I honestly dont get why people complain about difficulty in Pokemon games. These games have NEVER been difficult (yes even the old ones were easy, they were just grindier). And yes, obly in newer games it has gotten even easier but since it's always been easy I don't see why this is even a major problem. The only valid criticism about this I've seen so far is the exp share toggle in SwSh and ScarVio being missing. A toggle would've been great.
      I think there are more and bigger problems with Pokemon games than difficulty rn for e.g the removal of mega (Tera did improve meta but the removal of Mega was imo rly bad because it gave life to so many Pokemon) , the character customisation (SwSh was kinda decent but ScarVio was terrible) , the horrible artstyle they're going for since BDSP, the bug, the shallow open world, lack of actual post game (the last game with decent postgame storyline was ORAS since then it's just been rly bad), and just pure unpolished incomplete games that looks poorly put together. GF rly needs better developers because the current ones are just not cutting out.

      People complained back then about B2W2 and were "tired of 3rd versions". This is probably why GF moved on to gen 7 (that plus it was the 20th anniversary of pokemon which couldn't be celebrated with the 3rd version of a crappy game).

The only thing that was a minus for me was that, since X was my first pokemon game I got used to the exp share and didn't really know that the previous games didn't had it at the start. Nonetheless, it was a great introduction into the world of pokemon for me I think and I really liked it as a kid.

    As a kid I had limited time on my Nintendo so when I couldn’t play I spent my time strategising which Pokemon I was going to catch next and how my ideal team would look like. To me Pokemon’s main appeal always lied in the vast amount of knowledge to be gained: move pools, typing, stats, etc. For a while I’d find a new favourite Pokémon every day.
    What frustrates me most is that the single player game doesn’t reward strategic play over mashing the strongest attack of your overleveled starter. The games offer a serious amount of depth which goes unnoticed simply because it’s not necessary.
    Usually players like me will instead head to competitive play, but it just feels inaccessible due to stupid stat requirements like IVs (seriously I can count down the cases in which you don’t want max IVs on one hand).
    I really hope game freak will realise that the games they produce have to be tailored towards children and adults alike

    among the best parts about x and y to me is the number of good pokemon you can get without the postgame or very late to the game
    like aegislash, goodra, lucario, a kanto starter, talonflame , pancham, halucha there are many more to name, not in any other region except maybe unova , i have enjoyed building up a team (this does make you overpowered ingame but well, idc)

    It's not that Gamefreak is lazy, so much as they get the least amount of money out of what the entire IP itself makes. Nintendo instead redirects most of the cash Pokemon makes into merchandising. So, yeah, that's why each future game has been getting worse. Yet they sell well enough that Nintendo doesn't deem it necessary to actually give Game FREAK the same money they would put into a Mario or Zelda game. TLDR, working for Game Freak is the worst paying job in the whole of the successful parts of the Nintendo Company when it comes to making games.

They could give Battle Bond forms for the Kalos Pokemon, like the starters, they can add more anime content and have the Team Flare arc in it, they can give the gym leaders and elite 4 members mega evolution, they can add it to the Switch 2 and overhaul the graphics entirely, and they can even add anime exclusive rivals like Alain and Sawyer. Again, it won't happen, but please do it, GameFreak, because that would be awesome.

      I was an avid fan of HGSS, DPPt, and BW/2, and so XY were the fourth “set” of games I played. However, since it was the first time that wireless play was widely available, it was the first time that I was able to battle others that weren’t just my brother, and it was a really quick introduction to competitive Pokemon! I kinda miss that experience, honestly, but I very much agree that XY and ORAS both really made Pokemon feel like a game that connected me to others across the world!

    Personally I can understand why mega-evolution was dropped - it's definitely my favourite gimmick from the mainline games but in a competitive setting or even casual online battling it just doesn't work very well and leads to the same mons being spammed (even more so than they already were). I'd love to see it back in some form or another in the future though but only for the in-game experience. I like the diversity that Tera's offer, so hopefully they stick with that for competitive play.
