Nintendo Pokemon Y (Nintendo 3DS)

I didn't get into this game until I heard about Sun and Moon coming out. But when I finally got it and started playing, I was hooked! It does sometimes feel like you are handed EVERYTHING as the game progresses. Compared to earlier games, the challenge of acquiring key items is practically gone. In its place is a massive slew of Pokémon, new and old, that are everywhere. The Pokedex is so massive that I've already filled one PC box and have barely made a dent in the first region's Dex. That's another thing that piles on to diversity: multiple regions in the Pokedex. Instead of having to wait to complete the main game to unlock an "International Dex", you simply progress and enter new sub regions where the Pokémon are different than the previous. Though I feel the new Team Flare has much to be desired, the game has a good plot to it and goes nearly as deep as Black and White 2. The graphics are closer to the GameCube's Pokémon Colloseum than the standard flat world or implied 3d of the old or previous games. It's an entirely new look at the world of Pokémon! Overall, this game is an excellent addition to the franchise. My only regret is not having played it sooner.

As for the graphics: they are simply amazing. The only thing I got kinda depressed about is that in double or triple battles, you can't use the 3D. But I understand why, the framerate would drop so low it would be unplayable. The Mega Evolution is nice, but not 100% needed to progress through the game. There is even a Super Training mode, on the bottom screen, which means you can EV train without having to hunt down certain pokemon. All-in-all, there is much more to say, but I just boiled it down to my most favorite features. If you want better descriptions of anything, go to: www.serebii.net.
