Alright TBone, let's just peer pressure him!

Though seriously, I don't know how to access your situation better than you.  So all I can say is that Pokemon X and Y is good.  Really good.

Naah, there's no pressure. I've been reading and learning about all this stuff since the end of 2013. 

Well, if you can convince me to get XY before all of those games I listed, feel free to do it.

Alright, I'll give it a shot.  MK8 and X aren't even out yet and WWHD is just a remake.  As for the other two, I can't comment.  At that point it's a matter of your interests.  Mario v. Zelda v. Pokemon.  I assume Pokemon is towards the top because you are considering going competitive. 

What about the game outside of Wifi battling? Was it better than 5th gen or 3rd gen? Would you compare it to 4th gen or 1st gen?

I could give you a full review here, but I'll try to condense it.  

Gameplay: Overall much better.  Fixed a lot of little things, made the game feel more comfortable than past Pokemon games, if that makes sense.

Story: Considering Pokemon is not at all known for its story, X and Y are fairly decent.  It was a little disappointing, coming from the fifth generation, but compared to the series overall, it was rathrer deep.

As for comparing it to other gens, I don't really know how to do that, or what you're even asking me.  Closest to in overall quality?  Feels like which previous gen the most?  Etc?

Where would you find it the your best pokemon games list?
