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?

Sadly, I'll train my Pokemon in White 2 or White, and when I get X/Y/Z?? I'll transfer with the PokeBank and start the real deal. But anyway...

So the time has come, I've decided to get into Pokemon for real. I have a lot of free time (or maybe I'm lazy) and I decided I'm gonna start the breeding, the EV training, the perfect IV's, and become a Pokemon Master. But I can't do it alone, I hope some of you guys introduce me to this crazy stuff, specially the IV's... That scares me a little bit. And if you ever wanted to become a teacher, well, here's your chance!

I want to play competitively too but I'm also scared...

My boyfriend wanted to do it too until I showed him a video of somebody sweeping a team of legendarily with a Magikarp...



Have a nice day...

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



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

I'm not counting remakes, third versions, or spin offs.

1. Black and White (yes, I'm an oddball in that regard)

2. X and Y

3. Gold and Silver

4. Ruby and Sapphire

5. Diamond and Pearl

6. Red and Blue
