It took a while to get used to, but I sort of love it. I guess…that’s sort of a backhanded “positive…“Īnd no, Nick, you’re not alone – I’m currently the only one in the house playing Bravely Default with the 3D on. Shaun: The good…does Glaceon count? Because other than the world’s most pleasantly smug ice Pokemon, X/Y is basically a shiny, streamlined version of every other Pokemon game to come before it. It’s also easy to turn off, so if you’re a purist who wants the classic experience you don’t have to use this. Share is received early in the game, and with a huge bonus - it can increase the amount of experience received from a single battle by 250% (distributed through your team). I also liked the changes to the experience point system that makes it a lot easier to train Pokemon.
#Pokemon x and y anime review the whole series#
It is a synthetic form of what I’ve been requesting from this series for some time, but I wish you traveled alongside them more frequently. The semi-party that is formed at the beginning of the game was a surprise to me, and I was happy to have it. It was exciting to see more life-like Pokemon, and I think the camera angles (while not exactly new) were well done. Am I the 1%? Dave and I have something in common.
It could be something like 1% of players like the stereoscopic 3D. I really liked the 3D, and also the stereoscopic 3D, but based on what a lot of people say in their reviews I’m probably an outlier. I’m not sure why they couldn’t have chosen “light,” or “prism” or whatever is more appropriate – the word fairy is sometimes used as an insult here in the US, and off the top of my head I think it’s the only Pokemon type that has that characteristic. Nick: I like having a new type, but I don’t like that they chose to call it Fairy. It helps balance the metagame a bit - Dragon, Fighting and Dark all take a hit (no more mindless Outrages!) while Steel and Poison become less pathetic offensively. A new typing was a much-needed addition, especially considering we haven’t seen any since Gold and Silver. I appreciated its simplicity, and the lack of “the world will end should you fail” plot point was a nice change of pace, and I would love for future Pokemon games to have a more simplistic plot that meant something.Ĭhris: I’m with Michaela on the Fairy type. It was heart-warming, fun, and well-written. My favorite part of the game, by far, was Looker’s sidequest. Also, having the option to choose a starter from the first games was a nice touch. The Fairy type is a fun addition to otherwise straightforward combinations previously seen. Michaela: I like that the series finally decided to add a new type to the mix.
What more could you ask for? I named mine SirReginold. While the mini-games themselves are a little repetitive and non-sensical, I’m willing to let it slide for what you get out of it in the end and how much easier it is.Īlso, I’d be remiss if I forgot to mention Tyrantrum under the “good” category. As someone who can never be bothered to try and breed Pokemon (I get sad thinking about all the babies I’d have to abandon in a computer box), the ability to both see and influence the stats that have otherwise prevented my Pokemon in previous generation from being powerhouses was a more than welcome addition. That Squirtle you’ve had for ages? Well now check him out in 3D! It felt like the magic of Pokemon Snap and Stadium all over again, only this time in a main title! That one simple change though helped the game seem fresh and new. Jason: The move to 3D was a long time coming, and I’m glad we finally got there in X& Y. They’re not exactly the most timely at this point, but here they are anyway! THE GOOD Editor’s note: I unearthed some reviews that we worked on a while back that never saw the light of day.
