Hot take: the exp share was a good change. I don't want 90% of my gameplay experience to be mindlessly running through tall grass for 10+ hours just trying to get my pokemon up to level.
The only issue is that they didn’t fix the level curve until Generation Seven. The good news is that you can turn it off for all the Generation Six games.
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.
When ORAS initially launched it was something else. They had the secret base system that could unlock items for and completely customize. You couldn’t go on any route without finding at least one base that another player made.
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.
I don't care what other say, X and Y are one of my favorite pokemon, if any game have good fashion in them, it already high on the list of games I will like, beside that, X and Y have some of my favorite legendary ever, the story was decent. Honestly I miss the old school games, they were better then the newer gen.
Also one of my favorite games after HG/SS because it fully immersed me into the competitive side of Pokémon with how much easier they made breeding, training, and finding Pokémon WiFi battles in this game. A shame that they got rid of the PSS.
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.
i played it when i was 11 :( now i am 21 thats so hard to accept how the time flies but i playing right now a randomized hardcore nuzlock on pokemon y and its so fuuun
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.
Except that they tried something new in Gen 5? In my point of view Gen 6 is just the start of Gen 1 propaganda - half of the dex is Kantonian pokemon (you even get Mewtwo at the end instead of creating a new legendary like wtf?), you get a Kantonian starter, some areas are a copy of Kanto. Where did they try something new?
I loved these games and still think they are the most aesthetically pleasing games. The OST is also so grand. I wish Pokémon Z existed instead of USUM which tbh really didn't need to exist. SM could've released in 2017 with Z either releasing in 2015/16. Man, I love Kalos.
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).
I remember playing X for the first time and I loved how the region looks, it's just so beautiful and colorful. 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.
I loved Pokemon Y so much. Great region, great graphics, awesome Pokemon and an incredible Soundtrack. Yes, it was pretty easy and I din't like the exp share across the whole team. However, I had a lot of fun playing it. It was also the first ever pokemon game that got me into shiny breeding and breeding for competitive pokemon due to the horde mechanic, friend safari for dittos and easy way to tell the pokemon's IVs.
Ngl I have laughed at EVERY incarnation of Lysander. Games - Hilarious Anime- Also hilarious Adventures manga - OH MY WORD HE'S MEMEWORTHY. Lysander is a meme period.
These are my all time favorite games. There's something so charming about them, that I can't even explain, and they are easily the ones I've spent more time on
They were my first games, and I like how it gives you a big plethora of pokemon to choose from and the game is easy so I can just use whatever whacky pokemon I wanted and been fine lol. Its very nostalgic to me
Aren't all the pokemon games basically same? I mean, the gameplay haven't changed, animations barely change, it's always the main character's dream to be "want to be the very best like no one ever was" and they still somehow managed to fuck up how we view map. Gamefreak has always been banking on nostalgia and that's all. The current games specially have been anything but disappointment (except legends arceus as they 'tried' something new).
4:14 “I think this is the first time in a Pokémon game where you could pic a second starter” In HGSS you get to pick your original Johto starter from Elm, a Kanto starter from Oak, and a Hoenn starter from Steven.😉
Even in Pokemon Yellow, you could obtain all three Kanto starters by the first three gym badges as gift Pokemon, granted you had high enough friendship with Pikachu :)
Hey dude, great video. I was cackling for almost the whole thing, will definitely be checking out more content. (Im also a grammar nerd so at 7:40 its supposed to be memorable* not rememberable)
Ngl the best thing about mega evolution is the fact its optional and u don’t have to mega evolve to get stronger. Unlike giving them a permanent evolution which means u do kinda need to
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
The fans killed Pokemon Z and with the harsh critique of X and Y, same thing goes for BW and BW2 and it's honestly so sad because now we have to play Scarlet and Violet
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)
"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." That aged well like milk 😂
True. Even in gen 5 where it started to get easier, Reshiram/Zekrom could NOT sweep because underleveled and levels slower. But XY....HO BOY, you just sweep with anything. We aint even gonna talk about ORAS and the free Latias/Latios 💀
What if instead of X and Y remakes, we get Pokemon Z? That probably won't happen, but just imagine the hype. 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.
Gen 6 is actually my favorite generation. The games were easy, but they made me excited, especially with those mega evolutions. I also love the xy/xyz anime so much. I still think it is the best anime Pokemon has.
@@bensh0t I recommend black and white because of how controversial yet loved it is or maybe sun and moon with how people have felt some distaste but love for it
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.
I hated mega evolution I hated being constantly stopped for the crappy "story" I hated how lifeless the models felt I hated how X and Y were unfinished I hated the direction of the starter final Evo designs I hated how easy the game was I hated the roller blades I hated how hoard battles slowed to a crawl, especially if you switched on 3D I did like Pokémon amie, but I hated the in battle effects it provided I also missed the GTS from previous generation, even though the rest of the multilayer features were pretty great Overall XY were my least favorite Pokémon games. It is a shame that game freak were so hyper focused on making something not Pokémon during this time and really dropped the ball on this generation
X and Y were some of my favourite games, my only problem was that they were way to easy and every run i played i always beat the game being 10 levels lower than every gym at all times
I'm not gonna lie, gen 5 to 6 for me was honestly peak Pokemon gaming, I loved XY, I loved ORAS, and my favourite region is Unova and I thought those games were really well done. I even liked gen 7 although from there it started to go down hill for me, I lost interest in the franchise after playing Shield as I thought that game was average, I thought the Dynamax mechanic was an unnecessary addition, I can see why some might like it but to me it just felt like a wannabe mega evolution mechanic, it also bothers me how GF dropped Mega Evolution and Z-Moves the moment that the franchise moved to the Switch, I seriously loved both. Last night I was looking up some Scarlet and Violet stuff and while some of the Pokemon look cool, there are those in the game that prove that GF truly have run out of ideas, giving gen 1 mons an extra evolution, Dunsparce (the evolution looks the exact same...) and Girafarig in particular, also Primeape, and then the "Toedscool" evolution line which is literally just a copy and paste of Tentacool/cruel/both but with a different colour scheme. It honestly makes me want to avoid any new game that comes out as this isn't something that sits well with me, I've recently been wanting to get back into gen 5/6, maybe even 7, but have definitely started a new save on Alpha Sapphire, and it is something I honestly look forward to revisiting. As much as I do love new Pokemon, it's honestly not something the creators should focus on, sure it gives you a fresh start.. I guess.. but sometimes I wanna play the gold old days of Pokemon
XY was my first game. I unfortunately lost my copies cerca 2016, but I had transferred a few trash mons into bank before then (none of my important ones, though, unfortunately). It turns out, one of these banked mons was one I caught on my first ever day of pokemon, my 11th birthday. Gogoat turns 10, and I turn 21 on October 17th :) crazy memories. Haven’t missed out on a game since, and plan to get a new copy of X for my 21st.
I agree! Why did they not add mega evolution? Same with Z moves! I don't mind as long as there reasonable! Same with Dynamaxing and Gigantamax. I'm sorry for trailable at remembering the spelling and others!
How does Malva's Room have enough Gas to create the 2 fire pillars when you enter it? How did Siebold get the plumbing to handle all the water that falls in when you enter his room?
This is when Pokémon became real to me, I had always been into red and blue, gold silver as a kid, but I Loved Gen 6 battle mechanics, and couldn’t be happier when I got into battling online, can’t wait to start battling in Violet and scarlet.
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!
w vid whenever i heard you say that you hate mega evolution i was like bruh what he gonna say until you explained yourself and it was pretty funny bc ONG WHY DID GAMEFREAK JUST THROW SUCH A BADASS MECHANIC AWAY!!! well atleast we got in in ORAS
I loved how x and y had multiple “rivals” and there was a group of friends traveling together and the story really had me in a chokehold
Their more of Buddies than Rivals which makes them fine in my book!
Yea I loved the idea of 5 friends traveling together as well
They were inoffensive but I personally prefer the actual rival. I do hope they stop with the "buddies" or make sure we have an actual rival.
The non existent story had you in a chokehold lol.
@@Ryodarkcaster Won't be nonexistent anymore lol
Hot take: the exp share was a good change.
I don't want 90% of my gameplay experience to be mindlessly running through tall grass for 10+ hours just trying to get my pokemon up to level.
Problem is that it's forced exp share, if it was optional absolutely nobody would care
@@CaptainAdmiralMango Well it's just on by default. You can always turn it off.
The only issue is that they didn’t fix the level curve until Generation Seven. The good news is that you can turn it off for all the Generation Six games.
@@CaptainAdmiralMangono, it was default after ORAS. On X and Y you had the option to turn it off
@@ymiras7881 ah, my bad. It's been a good while since I played through Y
I see we're finally reaching that point in X&Y's lifespan that Black/White had reached in 2018.

Now beloved by the people who grew up with those games.

I didn’t even know this! I was only 12 when these games released so I wasn’t aware of all these things. Very Intresting!

Honestly I miss the old school games, they were better then the newer gen.
Would be AMAZING if they remastered pokemon X and Y and they were open world like scarlet n violet
There’s just so much nostalgia in these games that they could be the biggest trash piles and i’d still love them🫡
i wouldnt say x and y are oldschool
Also one of my favorite games after HG/SS because it fully immersed me into the competitive side of Pokémon with how much easier they made breeding, training, and finding Pokémon WiFi battles in this game. A shame that they got rid of the PSS.

6 months later and now we get Legends Z-A lol, now we finally get the lore we wanted

its an absolute crime for GameFreak to not release a Pokemon Z
Hmm... mistrial bro
it's coming in 2025
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 loved these games tbh. While a lot of fans say it's when the series went downhill, it was nice to see the series take a leap and try something new.
I just wish they’d take more Leaps, more chances.
I was really excited for Arceus! But then they just went and released more typical Pokemon Games.
I think the series is starting to go downhill now after Scarlet and Violet. Hopefully Gen 10 is better

Pokémon has been updating and even revamping several models as of late. It has not been 10 years of no change.
“Game Freak is LAZY”
Game Freak doesn’t even make the Pokémon models and again they’ve been improved.
“Cynthia”
“Difficulty setting”
He doesn’t know...
sometimes i forget gen 6 music kinda slapped sometimes
Gen 6 ost goes hard AF
I didn't even realize this was such a small channel, keep up the amazing work man
Remember, they had to make new 3d models for *every single pokemon*
"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."
That aged well like milk 😂
How would I know They’d release Pokemon Z 11 years later😭😭😭😭
Pokemon XY is literally the first pokemon where I literally dropped on using legendaries in my team because the game is just so easy.
True. Even in gen 5 where it started to get easier, Reshiram/Zekrom could NOT sweep because underleveled and levels slower. But XY....HO BOY, you just sweep with anything. We aint even gonna talk about ORAS and the free Latias/Latios 💀
I’m still paying x and y to this very day. So many people still play them for good reason
What if instead of X and Y remakes, we get Pokemon Z? That probably won't happen, but just imagine the hype. 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 enjoyed this. keep it up mane!
Best pokemon music is Miror B battle theme, that is good music and i will die on that hill
i love how everybody shits on gamefreak for the 3d models, but they aren't even the ones making them
Gen 6 is actually my favorite generation. The games were easy, but they made me excited, especially with those mega evolutions. I also love the xy/xyz anime so much. I still think it is the best anime Pokemon has.
I really enjoyed this video and how funny it was while still getting the point across and I’m sure editing took forever. You’re awesome bro!
Yup! This is definitely going on my fridge🫡 thank bro🥳
very good video. you should cover more pokemon games in this style im sure you will get a lot of traction especially with your editing skills!
Thank you!!
I actually want to do more pokemon stuff! Only issue is that I don’t really know what I should cover 😅.
@@bensh0t I recommend black and white because of how controversial yet loved it is or maybe sun and moon with how people have felt some distaste but love for it
@@zweiigorgon8980 Sun and Moon could be a good Idea!
@@bensh0t I'd LOVE a Sun and Moon video from you! A lotta people hated the game but personally it's my favorite one.
@@Dizzyphelt just finished the game, video is coming 🫡
Sick editing keep it up man!
Thanks man!
I just played Pokémon y and I think it deserved more, it wasn’t bad.
I just realized after watched a movie, that team Flare reminds me of those Matrix folks lmao
I never thought of that before lol I csn see the resemblance it's because of the sunglasses right?
@@thetronwarriors4817 Most likely
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.
I hated mega evolution
I hated being constantly stopped for the crappy "story"
I hated how lifeless the models felt
I hated how X and Y were unfinished
I hated the direction of the starter final Evo designs
I hated how easy the game was
I hated the roller blades
I hated how hoard battles slowed to a crawl, especially if you switched on 3D
I did like Pokémon amie, but I hated the in battle effects it provided
I also missed the GTS from previous generation, even though the rest of the multilayer features were pretty great
Overall XY were my least favorite Pokémon games. It is a shame that game freak were so hyper focused on making something not Pokémon during this time and really dropped the ball on this generation
X and Y were some of my favourite games, my only problem was that they were way to easy and every run i played i always beat the game being 10 levels lower than every gym at all times
Yup the gym leaders were actually embarassing. W Sukuna Fan 🫡
they should have like a hard mode where they just amp 5 levels up to each person or something like that, a simple code change
Yeah a difficulty setting like every other game has had for the past 20 years😭
X and Y are my favorite due to nostalgia. However if Pokémon Z was made it would have been the best Pokémon game even without the nostalgia factor
I'm not gonna lie, gen 5 to 6 for me was honestly peak Pokemon gaming, I loved XY, I loved ORAS, and my favourite region is Unova and I thought those games were really well done. I even liked gen 7 although from there it started to go down hill for me, I lost interest in the franchise after playing Shield as I thought that game was average, I thought the Dynamax mechanic was an unnecessary addition, I can see why some might like it but to me it just felt like a wannabe mega evolution mechanic, it also bothers me how GF dropped Mega Evolution and Z-Moves the moment that the franchise moved to the Switch, I seriously loved both. Last night I was looking up some Scarlet and Violet stuff and while some of the Pokemon look cool, there are those in the game that prove that GF truly have run out of ideas, giving gen 1 mons an extra evolution, Dunsparce (the evolution looks the exact same...) and Girafarig in particular, also Primeape, and then the "Toedscool" evolution line which is literally just a copy and paste of Tentacool/cruel/both but with a different colour scheme. It honestly makes me want to avoid any new game that comes out as this isn't something that sits well with me, I've recently been wanting to get back into gen 5/6, maybe even 7, but have definitely started a new save on Alpha Sapphire, and it is something I honestly look forward to revisiting. As much as I do love new Pokemon, it's honestly not something the creators should focus on, sure it gives you a fresh start.. I guess.. but sometimes I wanna play the gold old days of Pokemon
bro did not just skip the banger that is the anistar city theme
How do you only have 2K subs, this content is very good
Working on it! Thanks Man!!
love the ssj4 theme at 9:15
Fellow Dokkan enjoyer 🤝
@@bensh0t 🤝
The edits and memes are hilariously timed
Pokemon legends Z-A my friend. Hopefully they will do Kalos right❤
Brother, I couldn‘t describe the happiness I felt during that livestream…
wanna know why x&y had no pokemon z? game freak were lookign for an ip to replace pokemon but failed and therefore couldn't make pokemon z
I had no idea you would’ve just hit 1k subs by the quality of the video dude, congratulations on 3k now
Ayyy thanks man!! I intend to improve with every video😤
I loved this new era of pokemon and I really love the battle mechanics each game but mega evolutions are my favorite of them all
Damn I feel old as a 23 years old.
Same Buddy😔
the way you cut through defeating Viola really got me haha
"It's the whole Thanos motif" HAHAHAHA THAT MADE ME DIE OF LAUGHTER
Hoopa, volcanionin and diancie were obtainable from events in 2014-2015. So they were never unobtainable
XY was my first game. I unfortunately lost my copies cerca 2016, but I had transferred a few trash mons into bank before then (none of my important ones, though, unfortunately).
It turns out, one of these banked mons was one I caught on my first ever day of pokemon, my 11th birthday.
Gogoat turns 10, and I turn 21 on October 17th :) crazy memories.
Haven’t missed out on a game since, and plan to get a new copy of X for my 21st.
Imma come back to this comment on October 17th. 🫡
X and Y had the best multiplayer interface with the PSS System
Technically in SoulSilver and heart gold you could pick gen 1 starters after beating red but thats end game
Replayed x not to long ago got a random shiny tyrunt which made that playthrough for me
I agree! Why did they not add mega evolution? Same with Z moves! I don't mind as long as there reasonable! Same with Dynamaxing and Gigantamax. I'm sorry for trailable at remembering the spelling and others!
How does Malva's Room have enough Gas to create the 2 fire pillars when you enter it? How did Siebold get the plumbing to handle all the water that falls in when you enter his room?
_They probably used their own Pokémon to do that_
Bro cracked the code😨
Funded by the kalos government
This is when Pokémon became real to me, I had always been into red and blue, gold silver as a kid, but I Loved Gen 6 battle mechanics, and couldn’t be happier when I got into battling online, can’t wait to start battling in Violet and scarlet.
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!
Omg it’s finally happening people are calling X and Y underrated and saying it was actually good. IVE WAITED FOR THIS
And people say the Pokemon cycle doesnt exist.
Lmao your meme game is on-point, you've earned a sub
w vid whenever i heard you say that you hate mega evolution i was like bruh what he gonna say until you explained yourself and it was pretty funny bc ONG WHY DID GAMEFREAK JUST THROW SUCH A BADASS MECHANIC AWAY!!! well atleast we got in in ORAS
XY werent my first games however they were definitely my favorite
I love X&Y, they could’ve been so much better but Game Freak rushed the game. Hopefully we get lucky enough to get the game ported to switch. 🙏🏼
Pokemon Z could’ve been an all time Great imo.
nah mate, you don’t want a rushed port on the switch rn
