Pokemon X and Y

[BobTD]

honestly I played pokemon Y for 12 hours today, it is the most fun I have had playing pokemon since first and second gen, they did this one right. First I want to point out that there are a ton of first gen pokemon appearing and I havent finished the 2nd gym, but I have already collected pigy, pikachu, caterpie, weedle, onyx, arodactil, cubone and psyduck. Golduck and cubone being 2 of my all time favorits.

Second thing they did right: Effort value points. "EV" points used to be a hidden stat that got boosted for fighting wild pokemon. You have to kill 150 of this and 200 of that in order to max the stats you wanted at the right levels to play competitively. It was a lot of grind. Now efort values are controlled by training mini games and can be reset with certain "punching bags". If I want to put all my stats into speed and sp attack I can, so it doesnt matter what lvl you get a pokemon at or what you fight to lvl it anymore. Essentially making a lot more pokemon usable competitively.

Trading: traniner show up by proximity, to you locally, so if Im not online looking for a trade I can trade people in wifi distance at any time. I dont have to be at a pc or mart, any I can still trade pokemon from my boxes. Finally trading is easy.

breeding is also essentially fixed from what I hear, but Im not an expert on breeding so I just take peoples word on it.
