First Pokemon games I played were Switch games. I expected 3DS games to be less advanced and not as interesting. They turned out to be the opposite: the gameplay is so exciting, I cannot put the console down. Pokemon X is among the best. Yes, graphics are no Switch, but they are still really, really good. Yes, the game mechanics are older, and some things we take for granted in Switch are hard to get in here. You are not showered with pokeballs, money, rare candy and instant travel right from the start. You have to work hard for them. But it makes things so much more precious, and to me that's actually one of the appeals of the older games. There is a lot of content: Kalos region is really big, and after you get new abilities, you also want to revisit the places you've been before. Visually, there is a lot of great scenery that helps you to immerse into the world. There is a lot of pokemon I never saw in Switch games, or even in Pokemon Go. A number of really fun game elements I never encountered before, either. You can run around on roller skates, ride on cute baby goats and bond with your pokemon by playing mini games with them. And the big one: this is where they introduce Mega Evolution for the first time, and it's SUPER-exciting. This game was keeping me on the edge of my seat the entire time, and I am planning a second run-through. Would highly recommend.Read full review

I have played a few Pokémon, and I found this one boring and frustrating. I couldn't stand that I couldn't remove those stupid roller skates, so it made movement difficult at times. The story really didn't move well IMO. I didn't play for long at a time because it didn't engage my interest. All in all I don't recommend.

I bought both for $65 a little high but they were mint and a pair I couldn’t be happier I like these better than sun and moon it is a bit odd how even with the d pad it’s 8 way controls but it’s super easy to get used to plus “spoiler alert” once you get the skates it switches from 8 way controls to normal d pad controls super fun game “spoiler alert” you get kanto starters early in the game after the getting a choice between the x and y starters!!! Such an awesome addition!! Overall great game with strong and cool legendaries and so on can’t recommend more especially considering the low prices compared to other Pokémon games

If you’re looking for a compelling, fun, creative and aesthetically pleasing game that people of any age can get into, then here you go. You can do a quick “casual” play through the game just to enjoy the story and characters, or, if you love collecting, breeding, training, manipulating the battle stats of your individual creatures down to the smallest detail… then there’s that whole realm of Pokémon to get into as well. As of now it is 2021 and X and Y are no longer the most recent entries in the series but all Pokémon games have proven that they can stand the test of time just by the sheer fun of the gameplay formula. These graphics and online features aren’t going to impress anyone used to playing Pokémon on the Nintendo Switch, but they were great for the series when they came out and were the first of the 3D Pokémon games.

I'm still uncertain whether or not this is the best Pokemon release since Gold/Silver/Crystal. Though I'm not sure of that particular case, I'm sure this title follows everything Pokemon has been doing right since release. Of course we all know what happens here, a new map, you start with some Pokemon you got from the local professor, start fighting your way through the map stopping by cities to earn the badge from the gym leaders; eight of them are to be found. When you finally have all badge you head for the Pokemon League and climb your way past the elite four to challenge the champion, if you win you're the new Pokemon Master and happy ending. Sure that's the formula, but doesn't it work still? With the incredibly deep meta-game surrounding all of it it's hard not to fall in love all over again with Pokemon, even if the formula of success has had decreased effectiveness over the years. The internet now plays a big part in becoming the ultimate Pokemon collector. Unfortunately—as always—you can't capture every Pokemon in-game, requiring not only trades with Pokemon Y players, but also players with other versions like the remake of third generations and physical Pokemon conventions. yes, physical, in the era of easy internet and online event implemented in-game some Pokemon are only acquirable if you visit events taken place in few parts of the world. We all know where they are. Maybe someday we'll get a game where you could at least catch most Pokemon by merely playing your game, until that day comes, let's just hope they increase the rate of online events. Right now I just hope they do any online event. I wouldn't even mind a Caterpie, it's a rare appearance these days. Times are changing, but not so much I'm afraid.Read full review
