Pokémon: X and Y 3DS review

Even before you begin reading this review, you'll have probably defeated the Champion and captured Zygarde, or the the trio of legendary birds, Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres (highlighted one, two and three in Spanish!) but I still hope you enjoy my review! (Bet, you haven't caught all 718 Pokémon?!)


Pokémon X and Y is a game, featuring mainly the brand-new 6th generation of  Pokémon creatures although features many other popular Pokémon from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova. It is set in the brilliantly new Kalos region, which is based on France, and even features a parody of the Eiffel Tower, Prism Tower, the main attraction in the Parisian city of Lumiose and home to the 5th gym leader. The gameplay is the regular Pokémon catch and battle, although the battles have been transformed into the third dimension, creating a much more realistic fight between Pokémon and their trainers. The storyline has similarities to the previous games, a evil organisation wanting to capture and utilise the Legendary Pokémon of the chosen version of the game. In X and Y there two versions of legendaries, Xerneas and Yveltal. I chose Y, so I have Yveltal, whose move is exceptionally stronger and even has the abilities to heal him, making him much more tactical than Xerneas for battling purposes. It is traditional storyline of Pokemon,you start at home with your mother with no Pokémon, set a journey to become a grand Pokémon master and champion, starting at the professor's lab to acquire your starter Pokémon.The XY starters are Froakie, a turquoise Water-type frog. Fennekin, a flaming red Fire-type fox and Chespin, a grassy-green fighting Grass-type hedgehog. I completed the main storyline in 1 week, defining its simplicity, it's less challenging than the previous games for experienced gamers. The post-game content is duller, lesser and easier than the previous games, just capturing Kanto legendary and anime fan-favourite Mewtwo in a peaceful lonesome cave to hunting and capturing the bird trio in another lonesome cave. Overall I wish the massively postponed accompanying Pokémon Bank app will come with a update for the main game, extending the post-game storyline.
