Well its only the biggest descion you will ever make. This will be your very first pokemon that will be your companion throughout your entire journey!

haha yes I'm considering all this now that I have the pokemon fever

It probably depends on your opinion on the Pokemon in the game.

I preferred X. It's a minor quibble but encountering X (and the scenes prior) looks much better than Y.

So its not just the case that all the ones in X are female and all the ones in Y are male then? ITs still just a handful of exclusive pokemon for each?

Pretty much, there are also different mega evolutions tones to collect in each, so you can mega-evolve some pokemon in X that you cant in Y and vice-versa. Also, there are a couple of pokemon that can evolve with different mega-stones, so each version gives you a different mega-evolution for those pokemon.

I chose Y in the end, not that it'll help you any >:D u forever undecided

Don't compare a duo of Pokémon games by review scores, because they're pretty much identical. But I will say X is the "best" of them, because I like the Mega Stones you can obtain in X better than the ones that are in Y. (Mega Stones are items for temporarily evolving Pokémon mid-battle to Mega Pokémon)

Mega Charizard Y is better than Mega Charizard X too
