Pokemon X

It's a great game exceeding all the previous ones I've played.The mega evolutions which are a new concept encourage the player to actually go by the Pokemon motto - "Gotta catch 'em all!". The different player customizations and boutiques give a new enhancement as some places in Lumiose City are only available if you're stylish enough . I recommend the following Kanto starters given to you by Prof. Sycamore in Lumiose city depending upon the Kalos starter you chose -Fennekin-BulbasurFroakie-CharmanderChespin - BlastoiseI recommend that you use your Master Ball to capture Xerneas because right after capturing it,Lysandre,the leader of team flare , will challenge you to a battle and Xerneas can easily defeat all of his Pokemon alone with the move Moonblast. His Gyrados will mega evolve, so you might keep some Hyper Potions and revives in hand.After becoming the champion ,Prof. Sycamore will hold a ceremony at Lumiose to thank you for defeating team flare.During the ceremony , a mysterious trainer named AZ will challenge you. He should be easy to defeat.You will know his full story while you play the game. In short he lost his Floette(This Pokemon can't be caught) and rampaged the world to revive it. The Pokemon left him. After the battle,it will return to him.You will find yourself in your house after this. Go out,and you will find Shauna(1 out of your 4 rivals) she will give you the first form of her starter. It will be weaker than your starter. You can give her any Pokemon in return. It will have a stupid nickname like Kinnekins if it is a Fennekin.I know I have left a lot of things in this review, so,my next one will focus on the main story. Look forward to it.

I purchased this game for my younger brother who is a pokemon crazy kid. I looked for this at all online stores and only Amazon was giving at a reasonable rate and quick delivery time. I am not reviewing this game coz I don't have any interest in Pokemon and I haven't played this game. Though it's graphics look s***. But every website praises it so Iam no one to say. But the point is if your child is Pokemon lover, then he or she will definitely like it for sure.

It has been quite a while since I last played a pokemon game, being diamond version in 2007. The graphics have improved a lot since then, and the story is very much like it's predecessors. However, many new features have been added, like pokemon-amie, super training, dowsing machine, TMs which can be used unlimited times, and much more which challenges veteran players like me as well as gives the game a new aspect. It is good for both beginners and old players

Pokemon X is perfect for players who like pokemon games. For me, it was okay, mega evolution and stuff evolution in which Pokemon evolves for some time and when the battle ends, Pokemon turns back to his normal self. After playing the game for some time, it was boring for me because I like Mario games which have action and defeating evil, saving the world by two heroes, Mario and Luigi in every RPG game.

I like it because of its 3d effects and the gameplay is awesome. It is suitable for 13+ gamers. It's new story is awesome and the twist at last is awesome. After becomming champion we have a lot of things to do and collect. This game is more than my expectations. It is worth of buying this game. We can trade, battle, share o powers with others. I am very happy with the game.

Really awesome story and everything and the new gen! The character editing, the new environment and features like aimee, super training and global just made it more awesome!! But the game is very short and could have been better!!

Excellent graphics. Great revolution in the series of pokemon. A must play game for every pokemon fans. Its the original US version. Don't worry with the quality of the product. The cost may be a bit high but the game is worth its cost.

This is a VERY fun game. It lasts pretty long and when you are done with the story, you can catch other rare pokemon and one legendary pokemon! This game is a must!

I've got six badges so far, so I feel like I've seen enough of the game to make a review based on actual game-play rather than preconceived notions. I've only been playing Pokemon since HG/SS, so I'm definitely not a genwunner. I'm also not into competitive battling, so I won't really be talking too much about that, or things like the new fairy type. Those are topics for discussion on forums, not a game review. Since most of the changes are the online features, I'll probably discuss those more than anything else.For starters, yes, it is the same as every other Pokemon so far. The same introduction, pick your starter, battle random trainers and gym leaders, collect badges, defeat the champ. The same limitations of having a party of six, with each having a max of four active moves. If you stop and think, everything else is gravy: story, graphics, music, etc. The fundamental mechanics are the same, and I think that is quite frankly the majority of the reason for the franchise's staying power. You can pick up any gen game, and knowing your basic types, weaknesses, etc, you'll know how to play.A lot of the changes in this generation are based mostly around the online features, some of which were only in their beginnings in BW/B2W2. But you no longer have to find a Pokemon Center to participate in the online functions, they're all right on the screen. You can turn the online functions on and off at will.Probably the most interesting is the PSS, the Player Search System. Like most native 3DS games, this game integrates with the 3DS friend codes, so you no longer have to manage separate friend codes. You just add their 3DS code to the 3DS friends app, and then you can see their status in-game. Now while you're in game, you can see their status: player profile, badges, and other things. You can battle, trade or chat with them. Pretty much like in the old Union Rooms, but not as limited as the Union Rooms were.Over time, you'll see people being added to the PSS, under the headings of acquaintances and passerbys. Acquaintances are added as you interact with other remote players via the global trade, battles, etc. I'm not exactly sure how passerby's work, but I think they just are random people who appear on your screen; again, you can interact with them in all the same manners. One thing I enjoy so far is the "wonder trade", which is a random trade matchup: you chose which Pokemon you want to trade, and it'll find someone in the world, and you get what you get. You might get trash Pokemon, or you might get something good.Beyond the online features are all the other changes to the game. Music is awesome, no longer grating to the ears (altho I'm a chiptune fan, you can only listen to the Pokecenter music for so long without wanting to stab your eyes out). The graphics are fantastic, altho I do not play in 3D mode. The avatars are nicely customizable. After a long-winded review, I'll just close with that I think this is a great addition to the franchise.Post-game edit: I beat the champ in about 5 days, less than 25 logged playing. This is by far the easiest version I've played. Each gym, elite and champ, I was able beat in one attempt. I never felt it necessary to rethink my team, go back and grind up, or anything of that nature. I also played straight thru with my starter, Fennekin, in slot one. She was KO'ed a few times, but I never considered retiring her. With Exp Share, even my HM slaves become viable.I'm still exploring post-game play, and since I have tried to refrain from strat guides, I don't know how extensive post-game is yet. So far, I've found a side-arc of working in a detective agency, and found daily jobs at a hotel. I found two stationary legendaries to catch, and ran into one roaming legendary but do not know how to catch it yet. I did not find anything similar to BW2's Join Ave, or the little and big stadiums, with their daily battles, but I'm probably not searching hard enough.

I would consider Pokemon X (and even Pokemon Y to similar extents when I get it in the mail) one of the best Pokemon games to play.A departure from the series is the pixel sprites that made the world. Now games are in 3D and have not disappointed me. I enjoy drawing fan art of Pokemon and prior to the advent of this game and its companion, I'd usually have to rely on pictures from the anime and manga, which I am no longer fond of. Now that the Pokedex shows a 3D model when a Pokemon is caught, I can actually draw fanart of Pokemon at different angles beyond front and back.You can actually change your avatar to suit you as your are ask for your gender, your looks and your name. However, the skin color for the darkest skin type for looks is still a dark taupe color. It's still a start and quite a departure from playing what is a essential a white-skinned protagonist.Some items have changed, particularly the plates that are to be attached to Arceus, which include the Pixie Plate which corresponds with the new Fairy element type. The biggest change of all is the Exp. Share, which first started out as Exp. All in the very first games, giving all Pokemon in the party Experience Points, and later Exp. Share, giving a selected Pokemon in that party a share of the points. For this set of games, the Exp. Share has reverted back to the properties of Exp. All.I have very few complaints involving the Lumiose City. Before I bought the game, I was well aware of a glitch that prevents moving around if saved in the North and South Boulevards and the two Avenues from The South Boulevard leading to the Central Plaza. Pokémon's official X & Y Site recommend you save your games in a shop or better yet, in the Pokemon Centers. The Evolutionary stone shop in Lumiose City, to my knowledge, only sells Fire, Water and Leaf Stones, so evolving Eevee and Pikachu would require a debate on your self if you're trying to complete the Pokedex as I only received one Thunderstone. You will encounter Pokemon from all 6 generations, some from the previous 5.Overall, the story did not disappoint. I won't tell you the ending, but the game does leave many characters involved open for debate and fan theories of their beings and pasts.The ending, however, simply doesn't just go to the credits right after beating the Champion, it involves a Pokemon battle with an enigmatic character who is involved with the story's backstory. After that, the cut scene that ties up the loose ends enough to satisfy those who held on long enough and then the credits, which has a song involved from the second part of the credits, subtitled in English and French. The music in the credit reminded me of the song "Hana wa Saku" (Flowers Will Bloom), created by the NHK, Japan's public broadcasting station for the recovery of the Tohoku region.I have been told that Pokemon Y has a darker, more sinister story to its programming. However, I can say that Pokemon X is not that much different from the description for Pokemon Y from my experiences.As for educational aspect: Mathematics are part of figuring out how much damage you deal to your opponent. Logic involving Rock-Paper-Scissors like deduction is involved when in a battle. Life lessons are involved with the story, such as the lengths one would go through to take back what was lost and the cost of the war from a non-monetary aspect.It is a fun game to play. You might even beat my record of entering the Hall of Fame in 3 days after starting a game.

Beyond love the game

Arrived within it's time-frame in a package much larger than was needed to hold a CD as seems to be the new thing for Amazon these days. I wonder if that is where our Prime dollars are now going? This was the number one request on my 12-year-old daughter's Christmas list this year, so she was over-the-moon when she opened it. From what I can gather, it has lived up to her expectations. She talks about it all the time, going into quite a bit of detail that I do not understand or follow, but it obviously excites her tremendously because she will talk about it for hours, and play it even longer if I allowed her to. The graphics seem to be ... graphicy. There are Pokemon. You play with them. OK, hang on, I will bring in the expert. This is what she has to say. "When you play Red, Blue or Yellow, the graphics are manageable, but when you move up to Pokemon X, the graphics are AMAZING. You can see the Pokemon battle, and you can see the moves that they use. Like, if you use 'dig', you can see them dig down. And if you use 'fly', you can see them fly up. And 'greninja', when it uses my favorite move, water shuriken, you can see it throw the shurikens however many times the move hits, and it can hit up to five times. So you just see the shuriken fly at the opponent and it looks really cool!" About the game she says: "It is a really fun game. You start off in a town where your mom is a famous Rhyhorn raiser and then you find that Professor S. decided to pick you and four other people to become a Pokemon trainer." (Oh, so your Ash!) "So there are three starting Pokemon. There is the Grass Type Chespin. The Fire Type Fenniken. And the Water Type, Frokie." (She chose Frokie). "There is a bad team that you have to defeat." (She can't remember their name, among other people you have to battle.) "One of the coolest parts I think to the game is that you can Mega Evolve Pokemon." (Whatever that means.) "There are tons of different Pokemon that can Mega Evolve. And if you like the final evolution, it will go back to its form after it battles. There are a few like Charizard, Mew, and Venosuar that Mega evolve, so Charizard will Mega Evolve into Charizard X, who is black with blue flames coming out of it's mouth. Mew X - and tons of other ones like Aerodactlye, and the two fossile Pokemon that are exclusive to X and Y that can't Mega Evolve yet, but they are very cool. It was hard for me to decide between them. But in the end I picked Amora. Once you get toward the end, you can catch the legendary Xerans, which I haven't caught yet, but I really want to. I haven't gotten that far yet. In the previous Pokemon games I have played, the gyms are basic and simple. But when I went up to Pokemon X, all the gyms are just SO COOL. My favorite gym so far is the Psychic Type Gym. It's like a big Sphere Maze. You have to locate the gym leader. There are a whole bunch of different trainers that you don't have to battle, but you get so lost you end up having to battle them." That's it for her review. If you have questions, she will be happy to answer them. I'll be happy to pass them along because I know nothing.

everything was great. thank you!
