Review of Pokémon X and Y
Every once in a while things take big leaps. This time it’s a game. Pokémon X and Y is better, faster and more unique than any other predecessor in the series. But it’s the fantastic new 3D look and impressive online features that just makes this game overshadow all previous instalments. As long as you’re within reach of Wi-Fi you’re never alone. And you have a new 18th Fairy type to accompany you.
Presentation
This game gets straight to the point, receiving your first Pokémon, gym badge and the new roller skates within an hour. (Depending on how fast you play) X and Y has been released on the 3DS, meaning new 3D graphics and animations. Though 3D is only present through battles it still is an improved change to graphics. Characters have magnificently touched up art style. Pokémon really show their cute, intimidating or silent but deadly personalities.
The new Mega evolutions show off their pretty designs. One of my favourite, new, minor details is the character customisation tool. Allowing players to alter clothes and change hairdos. We finally have the tools to distinguish ourselves from millions of different players.
