At this point, players get to see the world from several different angles, and discover all the nooks and crannies of the world, but still keeping true to the style of every other Pokémon game. The Pokémon games have felt like less and less of a top-down experience as time has gone on. Of course, a main reason that Kalos is a beautiful place to adventure through is the new game design. As always, we get a region, like Kanto or Sinnoh. The world is an important part of any game, really. I'm not even sure where to begin, explaining this in context. The premise is the same, but everything else is made at least 80% more awesome. It's a lot like the original Pokémon anime vs. That's pretty much where the similarities stop, though. The same basic ideas were kept - explore, battle, see new Pokémon, etc.

This time, you've got the same premise - gotta catch 'em all! Everything else has been more than enhanced. There's just some stuff added here and there to enhance the experience. Most Pokémon games can be explained this way - you have the same general premise, the same Pokémon, but with more added, the same look for the protagonist, but enhanced a little every time, you even have the same basic idea for enemies. Probably the most important point I can make is that Game Freak's done a great job of keeping things the same, yet different. If you think you'll pass because you're bored of the franchise, think again. I've always wanted a Pokémon game as amazing as this. Technically, I've been waiting since I was a kid. Like many Pokémon fans, I've been waiting a long time for X and Y. I'm not even sure how I managed to pry myself away from my 3DS to do it. It's here! It's finally here! And it's glorious!īefore I go on, I'd just like to give myself a pat on the back for taking the time out of my Pokémon adventure to post this review.
