It deals with EV training, which is essentially a more focussed and scientific way of improving your Pokémon’s stats. Super training is a much more useful inclusion. Even with perfect lighting conditions, you have to work your face into Cheshire-cat-like proportions in order for it to recognise that you’re smiling. Sometimes the game will ask you to smile into the 3DS’ camera to appease your Pokémon. The intention was good here, but there are still some bugs in the system. Aside from being a nice distraction from the main battle, these interactions affect your monster’s mood, which in turn determines how they will perform in battle.

There are frequent references to the past, including one section where you’re given the option to choose a Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle to add to your team.Ī new feature for the series is Pokémon-amie, which is a Nintendogs-like interface where you can feed, pet or play games with your favourite ‘mon.
While there are the obligatory hordes of new Pokémon to hunt down, gamefreak have also given a nod to the old favourites. The game is a little on the easy side, especially for veterans of the series. This emphasis on quick progression does have its downside however. These are a vast improvement over your normal walking speed, and take the drudgery out of traversing the map. You’ll very quickly gain the use of a pair of roller skates.

in the opening few minutes of play, you’ll already have acquired a full party, and probably have secured your first gym badge as well. This time, the focus is on fast progression.
The game knows you’ve done all this before. There’s no denying that tedium played a large part of previous games: The back-tracking, the slow, four directional movement, the level grinding. In many ways, this is the most conscientious Pokémon title to date. Because of this, interaction with other players feels as if it’s part of the core experience, rather than something separate from it. It’s a great move to have all of the online features accessible at any time on the lower screen, rather than having to trudge to some location within the game world. There are a ton of things to do, from posting messages to sending a random Pokémon into the ether and receiving a random one in return. People you’ve befriended can be gifted ‘O-powers,’ which provide a boost to one of several parameters, helping them out in their own game. They’ll all be lumped together as ‘passers-by’ the first time you see them, but through interactions such as battling or trading, they can be promoted to ‘acquaintance’ or ‘friend’ status. Using the 3DS’ local wireless or net connection, you’re able to see a list of people playing pokemon in your area or region on the lower screen. Thanks to the new player search system, the wider world is only a tap of the stylus away. There are several similar decision points in the game, and while the choices are small, it does feel like they have weight, and that your actions are in some way affecting the game world.īut the sense of inclusiveness isn’t just brought about by some NPC companions. But the ones you don’t pick will go to the others in your crew. As is the norm, your first Pokémon will be picked from a choice of 3 starters.
They remain a constant presence as you progress: popping up to provide healing, chipping in with light-hearted banter, or throwing their monsters into battle against rival trainers. At the beginning of the campaign you’ll set out with a group of NPC friends. From the moment you slip back into your trainer’s shoes, you’ll never feel like you’re alone. Pokémon X and Y comprise the 6 th generation of the franchise, and this time it’s all about the community. At the time I didn’t care, because I was too excited about my first successful Pokémon trade. ‘A lady from Texas wants my spoink.’ Try saying that in a crowded public place, and see how many looks you cop from strangers.
