I think the thing about the xy post game is that at the time it was a tiny post game, because of how much all the previous pokemon games had in their post games. But with all the games we've had since xy besides a few they've had next to nothing in their post games, which now makes xy's post game look bigger in retrospect.
Thats literally it. Its only "underrated" because the games have progressively gotten worse since then. My first pokemon game was emerald, followed by fire red and then i went back to crystal. Anyone that's played from gen 2-5 is rightfully unimpressed.
From what I remember, having played x and y for a combined 5 or so playthrough, the postgame felt like a checklist to me more than the other Pokémon games, even with the Looker side episodes. I thoroughly enjoy gen 6 but when they came right after BW2 which had the PWT, battle subway, battle institute, black tower/white treehollow, pokestar studios, join avenue, abyssal ruins, entralink, all the medals, not to mention the other half of the region or the handful of returning legendaries, it’s hard not to ask is that it.
You also have USUM with Team Rainbow Rocket and the Ultra Warp Ride, and SV with the sidequests with your friends, the Union Circle, the Gym rematches being necessary in order to unlock the school tournament, as well as the Tera Raids and (at least from tomorrow) the start of the DLC in the form of the Teal Mask
Unfortunately, this feels to me like a sad case of “first impressions are everything”. A majority of the postgame feels more like a checklist because, in my opinion, it literally primes our minds to think of it as one in its setup, to the point where once a story truly kicks in, it’s a bit too late to fix that impression. The entire premise of the postgame is built on this idea that you’re helping Looker set up shop in Kalos to fight unspecified criminal activity. So already, they’ve shot themselves in the foot, because it doesn’t take much for the player to realize this just makes them into an on-call investigator. Go to Looker, get assignment, execute assignment. So that’s their first mistake. But that’s okay; it can easily be overcome with a good story, and since your time at the Bureau decreases as the postgame goes on, it seems that was kinda what they were going for. But then, they decide to shoot their other foot for good measure, by making the VERY FIRST MISSION one where the player literally completes a checklist in the form of Looker Tickets. Not only is it one of the most basic fetch quests you’ll ever do in a video game, I believe that it also fails to convince the player that they really earned that assistant detective role. Put both of these things together, and I’m absolutely not surprised that a lot of players thought this was a checklist-y feeling postgame. It sets itself up so badly, that if the emotional beats of the latter half don’t resonate with someone much, it’s likely they’ll come out of it feeling like they just did do a bunch of pointless stuff.
@@magicalhikari5859I mean, having to pay 30 bucks for getting the post game is kinda trash considering we had all that in the base game before. It's like having to pay in G/S/C just to be able to go to Kanto.
To be fair that has always been an unfair comparison, black and white 2 could reuse most of its assets from the original game as its a sequel. As an oppening game for the generation, XY are honestly filled with content, but you can't expect it to be better in that regards than games like Platinum, HGSS and BW2 where most of their development cycle could be spent on content. At the time pokémon Z was still planned to launch in 2015 and would have probably fixed most issues with gen 6.
@@artimist0315 That's not totally true, while they could use some assets from previous games, they had to make all the charater sprites, move animations and pokemon sprites from 0.
You forgot about: - getting dusk stone from a Team Flare grunt in Laverre City, - getting back your Pokemon with max. affection and a comet shard from the now-dead man in Anistar City (only if you gave him one of your Pokemon before beating the league) - unlocking Duke/Duchess and Grand Duke/Duchess ranks in Battle Chateau - obtaining Gracidea, Reveal Glass, DNA Splicers and Genesect's discs since now you have National Pokedex and access to Friend Safari.
I really enjoyed going through Emma's quest in X and Y, but I remember when Pokémon Generations came out with an episode about Essentia, so many people were confused about it and wondering where this was in the games. I didn't realize the sidequest was considered that obscure!
bro xy is by far the most underrated games of all time in the series. i remember everyone loved these games when they came out and then it became popular to hate on them.
It's upsetting that the switch era has gotten rid of repeatable postgame content (like the battle frontier or world cup) in trade for makinh us pay 30+ extra and online content instead of postgame
That’s blatantly untrue both gen 8 and 9 come with a postgame battle tournament that is repeatable. The only difference is it’s tied into the the actual story of the game
But they literally do. While you may enjoy the battle frontier and world cup more, Sword and Shield have the battle tower and SV has the academy ace tournament. It’s understandable if you still enjoy the postgame of older games more but the dlc isn’t the only postgame content for the Switch era games
X/Y was my first Pokémon game, and I have hours upon hours of nostalgic love for it. Technically, my first ever experience playing Pokémon was Soul Silver, it was my cousin’s copy and she let me play it while I waited for our family to make dinner. My first ever owned game was Pokémon White2, and I never completed it because my 8 year old brain struggled to understand the basic concepts of training more than your starter. But my fondest memories were in X/Y, because not only did I actually beat the damn game, but because I understood the lighthearted story better. Never mind the fact that Lysandre was going to commit genocide on the whole world and Team Flare consisted of extreme supremacists. It’s right next to US/UM as my favorite Pokémon games.
I love Gen 6 with all my heart and play X/Y and OR/AS constantly. These games are no where near perfect and have tons of very valid criticisms but at the end of the day they are just plain fun.
Damn I was 11 when I played Y and don't understand why gen 6 gets slandered so hard. I remember around it's release it was hyped up so much and people were saying it was the best game so far. Meanwhile gen 5 was the opposite. It got bad reception on release but nowadays people realise it was such a good gen.
The looker missions and catching 3 legends are just not enough. Let’s compare each jump to a new generation Gen 2 had Kanto Emerald had the Regis, latios and the battle frontier(which you can sink hours into) Platinum had a massive new island, another battle frontier, Dialga and Palkia, cresslia and all three birds ORAS had the delta episode, Soaring for legendaries that you could sink hours into and contest Black and White had 1/3 of the region left to explore, the hunt for the seven sages, abyssal ruins, etc. BW2 had more than double the great postgame of BW1 Sun and Moon had the Ultra Beast missions, battle tree(which is far more than the battle chateau) along with the Zygarde cell hunt, different champion title defenses and Ultra Had even more X and Y just has the shortest postgames, aside from Gen 1 but that is the only game that has an actual excuse for no post game
Then both my versions of Pokémon x and y glitched when i went to kiloude city for the first time back in 2013. I never had to participate in the battle mansion to be able to battle my rival. I just went up to the pond and accidentally ran into my rival. I still got an absolite and i was still able to go meet professor sycamore in anistar city to get my mega ring upgraded.
(Around 10:05) I couldn't help but laugh in I think it was Pokemon Generations, one of the last episodes, they changed it so Emma just punted Mimi across the alley and Looker had to catch her. 😂 It was so sudden Edit: Also something you forgot to mention, in Zygarde's Cave you can get the 3 Held Items of the Creation Trio and a Big Nugget.
I haven't forgotten how many pokeballs it took me to catch Zygarde. I think I was literally on my last ball, a premier ball (having used the master ball on Yveltal like a moron) before he was caught.
I think a big problem with these games is that ORAS came right after them and were just heads and shoulders above X/Y. Every event that X/Y got was also in ORAS and idk if it was just me but it made it so I never had any reason to open X/Y again lol
Here's to hoping the Gen 6 Remake could break tradition and be a Sequel to the original... And/Or a Pokemon Legends Zygarde that takes placing during The Great Kalos War with Pokemon Armor (which we see in the AZ Flashback) as the gimmick and maybe have your starter be a Zygarde Core which you make stronger be collecting it's Zygarde Cells around the region ending with collecting the second Core? Revealing "you" and Zygarde are the reason The Ultimate Weapon didn't glass the entire planet or wipe out more Pokemon (there's also that theory Area Zero in Paldea is ground zero where The Ultimate Weapon struct as they are 2 regions connected be landmass as well both were had Great Wars 3,000 years ago, same with the Unova Region according to some artifacts in Gen 5 so maybe it was a three way War but maybe we'll get that in the BW Remake/Threequel or a Legends -Kyurem- Origin Dragon)
It may be because it was the first Pokemon game I played, but X and Y seem to be a forgotten gem. Playing it just seemed to magical on the new hardware. Even with its flaws, It was the last decent Pokemon game for me.
I remember the only reason i even put up with these lackluster games was because pokemon bank launched 5 months after the game’s release, and i just really wanted to see what some of my favorite pokemon looked like with their 3d models. While i did enjoy the game as i was playing it (i was 15 and easy to please) i do remember that half of my playtime was just idling my 3ds with the pss on and waiting for trades or battles.
The looker side quest has always been my favorite pokemon post game in terms of story, I just wish it wasn't entirely locked into Lumiose City. Would've been nice to have a couple of chapter following Looker to other parts of the region.
Since the announcement of Legends Z-A, I got a n3ds and started playing Y. I actually really enjoy this generation even if I watched a lot of play through years ago. Except for the amount of battles, I have no complaints now that a “sequel” is coming out.
Just finished Y for the first time after having it for years, thanks for the fresh content as I've only seen really dated videos for it. Definitely turned out to be a much better game than I thought originally, thanks for this video guide to help with what I'm kinda supposed to be doing cause I swear the dialogue is so cringe in most of this game I usually skip all the dialogue and I'm lost half of the time lol
Picked this game back up for the first time in like 5 years I mashed through all the text and everything. Ended up beating the elite 4 with chestnaut, xerneas, and pangoro which just knows HMs (And some low level fodder for healing)
It’s sad that we don’t have Pokemon Z. But, we, Pokemon fans, can fix this situation. Thanks to fan projects, like mine Pokemon Mega XY(Z). Same could be with Gen 6 games. Thanks to creating a fan game(s), which is make for X/Y same as Emerald for Ruby/Sapphire, and Platinum for Diamond/Pearl. Fix, improve, and expand original games. And this fan game(s) in right hands can achieve a praises in the level of AM2R, remake of Metroid 2: Return of Samus.
Same, it doesn’t deserve the hate I mean the Black and White games only got well-liked again because many people were nostalgic for them, so the same could happen for X and Y, and hopefully for Sun and Moon too
@@sharonrizzi14Ehhh, no, the B/W games were liked because people realized that they were good games all around. Nostalgia doesn't change the fact of them having a good story and good challenges.
@@DarthFhenix55 That’s true, the storytelling wasn’t the best in X and Y but I still love those games a lot, so I may be a little biased 😅 However, the story in Sun and Moon was actually really good though, seriously they are the best modern Pokémon games in my opinion, so hopefully more people will start to realise that too ☺️
I'll be frank: XY's postgame story is legit the only main series Pokemon story I'd say that's actually on par with Mystery Dungeon and Ranger, let alone most other RPGs out there.
It’s crazy cause technically X and Y are close to being in line for a remake hopefully if they do they add more endgame content to make the game feel more complete
This was my first Pokémon game, and I had watched a playthrough of the game prior to playing, but I had no idea of the postgame story so I was immersed. One of the first times I played something blind as a kid I love Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire but I can’t help but find it tragic that 2 out of the 3 years of Gen 6… we were in Hoenn instead of Kalos… I was not around for 3 or 4 but I guess it probably was similar case where Kanto stole Hoenn’s spotlight and Johto stole Sinnoh’s time… though the anime in Hoenn and Sinnoh would incorporate Pokémon from Kanto and Johto to advertise those games in spite the anime still being in the newer regions (well the anime did go back through Kanto I guess)
I don’t care what anyone says. I LOVE this game. Soul Silver is probably still my number 1 but man, X is incredible. The most under rated game in the franchise. Hopefully it starts getting the respect it deserves when Z comes next year. (Please don’t mess Z up game freak lol )
X and Y were the last new main series games that were actually good, legends arceus is kinda of and kind of not a main series game so im not counting it

Definitely turned out to be a much better game than I thought originally, thanks for this video guide to help with what I'm kinda supposed to be doing cause I swear the dialogue is so cringe in most of this game I usually skip all the dialogue and I'm lost half of the time lol
Haha ya the dialogue can be cringey at times 😂 Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the support!
i need them to make a Z game for the switch so bad like i LOVED xy
I personally loved the post game stuff. It felt more fulfilling than most Pokemon games now…
legendaries are so fucking foreboding when they fucking tower over you like that
Picked this game back up for the first time in like 5 years
I mashed through all the text and everything. Ended up beating the elite 4 with chestnaut, xerneas, and pangoro which just knows HMs (And some low level fodder for healing)
Best postgame ever. Love the looker missions.
It’s sad that we don’t have Pokemon Z. But, we, Pokemon fans, can fix this situation. Thanks to fan projects, like mine Pokemon Mega XY(Z). Same could be with Gen 6 games. Thanks to creating a fan game(s), which is make for X/Y same as Emerald for Ruby/Sapphire, and Platinum for Diamond/Pearl. Fix, improve, and expand original games. And this fan game(s) in right hands can achieve a praises in the level of AM2R, remake of Metroid 2: Return of Samus.
Wow, I didn't even realize this looker quest even exist. Had pokemon x and y for a very long time and didn't know
I love Gen 6 so much
Same, it doesn’t deserve the hate
I mean the Black and White games only got well-liked again because many people were nostalgic for them, so the same could happen for X and Y, and hopefully for Sun and Moon too
@@sharonrizzi14Ehhh, no, the B/W games were liked because people realized that they were good games all around. Nostalgia doesn't change the fact of them having a good story and good challenges.
@@DarthFhenix55 That’s true, the storytelling wasn’t the best in X and Y but I still love those games a lot, so I may be a little biased 😅
However, the story in Sun and Moon was actually really good though, seriously they are the best modern Pokémon games in my opinion, so hopefully more people will start to realise that too ☺️
@@sharonrizzi14I’d say that sun and moon, and ultra sun and ultra moon are more likely to get the black and white treatment
@@sourlemon1002 I think so too! ☺️😆
I'll be frank: XY's postgame story is legit the only main series Pokemon story I'd say that's actually on par with Mystery Dungeon and Ranger, let alone most other RPGs out there.
May or may not have replayed this game arouind 32 times to replay this storyline
I allways thought that the sundile was a pokwlemon and i was so disapointed when i found out it was just a big crystal 😢
I enjoyed the game a lot. It was too easy, but I come back to it quite a lot
The post game is sooo good for x and y
It’s wild how much better it is than the main story
The looker story is so good
It’s crazy cause technically X and Y are close to being in line for a remake hopefully if they do they add more endgame content to make the game feel more complete
A-Z trailer is officially out now
i loved XY so much. My Chansey was a menace lol
I still wish there was more
It really is underrated
x was my first game and i didn't know post-games existed so i just. reset the game as soon as i beat it and i've never beat it again. whoops
This was my first Pokémon game, and I had watched a playthrough of the game prior to playing, but I had no idea of the postgame story so I was immersed. One of the first times I played something blind as a kid
I love Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire but I can’t help but find it tragic that 2 out of the 3 years of Gen 6… we were in Hoenn instead of Kalos…
I was not around for 3 or 4 but I guess it probably was similar case where Kanto stole Hoenn’s spotlight and Johto stole Sinnoh’s time… though the anime in Hoenn and Sinnoh would incorporate Pokémon from Kanto and Johto to advertise those games in spite the anime still being in the newer regions (well the anime did go back through Kanto I guess)
I have no idea how I clocked 999:59 in X. It’s just a fever dream of completing the national dex and shiny hunting
Its only 5 legendarys i felt it needed a bit more
Ya I wish they added more that weren’t an event or mystery gift
@@TerraQuake1 yeah but atleast it makes up with the fun mega evolutions
For sure, mega evolutions has been one of the best additions!
I love the post game dearly it was very fun :3 the post game story line was so intriguing
i've played through pokemon x and y like. 10 times but i've never played the full post game somehow
I miss the x y games. I don’t care if it’s a sequel, I just wanna play this again.
i have played pokemon y like 3 or 4 times and i genuinely did not know about the looker side quest.
Well boys we got Z
you wont believe what just got announced
I manifested it 😳
“Underrated post-game?”
Sheen, this is the fifth time you’ve talked about XY being underrated in class.
I mean Gen 5 fans somehow still insist that their game is still underrated to this day. 🤷
I always felt intimidated by how absolutely massive Zygarde is in the overworld
Bro does not skip the gym 😂
i genuinely had no ideas about half of this
this aged like fine wine
I will say I do not hate these games, and the post game definitely the highlight of the game for me. It just sucks that the game is so easy
Hot takes
People who say there’s no post games never played the post games
What post game is there to play? All you can do is Catch 2 pokemon, beat a looker side story, and go to the battle masion.
@@piranhalettuceno one ever mentions the battle chateau, with its gym leader and diantha higher level rematches
Got this recommended just after Pokemon Z
i think its more like there being so little of a postgame that was everyones gripe
The post game is yet to come
14:29 I see you're a man of culture.
Fun fact it actually took 16 minutes to finish the post game 😂
Ok but can we all acknowledge how much of a failure looker is as a detective
Brother why is your child assistant doing a much better job than you when you're the specialized detective
XY barely had postgame, and all the “legendaries” were given via Online as “event Pokemon” they just give up to make REAL events in the main game
the post game wasn’t bad there was an effort
I don’t care what anyone says. I LOVE this game.
Soul Silver is probably still my number 1 but man, X is incredible.
The most under rated game in the franchise. Hopefully it starts getting the respect it deserves when Z comes next year.
(Please don’t mess Z up game freak lol )
the french language: exists
terraquake: the battle mason
X and Y were the last new main series games that were actually good, legends arceus is kinda of and kind of not a main series game so im not counting it
So the legendary birds are in the same position as the legendary beasts from FRLG
I really liked the post game but it was just really short
