    The name of the mega evolution guru is Gurkinn! Though the name wasn't really mentioned in the games besides by like one NPC. Olympia should've been the eighth gym. Even the anime treated her as a far more important character than Wulfric. And yes, the design of the Gyms in this game is insane, they absolutely took full advantage of the 3D effect. I mean, the surprise of walking to the middle of what looks like a normal building in the Anistar Gym and seeing it all disappear as it turns into a sphere surrounded by a night sky with different galaxies and constellations was mind-blowing. Not to mention the stunning Coumarine Gym and the fact the first ever Fairy gym at Laverre City is a GIANT DOLLHOUSE...well played.
    The buildings actually have life in them. The architecture, the soundtrack, the different Vivillon patterns, Mega evolutions, the XY games definitely deserve more love! I instantly fell in love with the entire Fennekin line, and while most of the rivals weren't interesting, I really enjoyed Shauna. The little story beat at the castle or whatever was really enjoyable to me for whatever reason. And Kalos' Pokémon League is by far the most beautiful League in the Pokémon world. Not to mention because the Z season of the XY anime was incredible. The XY anime introduced many to the franchise!

    If you were a sophomore in high school when Gen 6 came out then I’m about 3 years younger than you. X and Y came out when I was starting 7th grade and I loved them. They were probably my favorite games when they released. I loved strolling around on the roller skates, exploring all the buildings in the towns and cities (especially in Lumiose), finding new Pokémon, and using the new Mega Evolutions (which is still the best generational mechanic). Now, 10 years later, they’re not my favorite games anymore-not even my favorite Pokemon games. I can see their problems and shortcomings. But when I go back to them, nostalgia takes over and I still feel the wonder I had when I first played them.
    3 years after X and Y released, Sun and Moon came out. By then, I would have been as old as you were when Gen 6 was new, and I was disenchanted by them. I didn’t care for a lot of the new characters, new locations, or new mechanics. I didn’t really care for Team Skull at first and I thought the lack of gym battles and traditional badges was off-putting. I finished the games once and put them away, immediately going back to my favorites from Gens 3 through 6.
    I can’t say for certain whether it’s that age where Pokémon feels stale, but it is interesting that 10th grade is where I also had a falling out with the series, after being a fan for years. I did enjoy Legends Arceus and Scarlet / Violet, so I’m still a fan of the series, but there was definitely a lull in my enjoyment from 2016 to 2021

    Yup in the anime, Grant indeed had a Tyrunt, but his other Pokémon was Onix, which he used in his battle against Viola at the Battle Chateau. Thus, Ash knew what he was in for ahead of time when he saw Grant's Rock Tomb strategy. Ash came up with an idea to defeat Onix in the episode An Undersea Place to Call Home, an episode that was postponed due to the sinking of the MV Sewol ferry in South Korea in April 2014, as the episode was about seeing a ship that ended up at the bottom of the ocean called the SS Cussler. In the episode, Ash noticed Froakie make an incredible leap while carrying Skrelp in order to escape from a whirlpool. Thus, Froakie was key to defeating Onix in Climbing the Walls.
    And yes, the Snorlax and Parfum Palace bit was in the anime too, but they approached it differently. Instead of on a bridge, Snorlax was sleeping in the middle of town and the gang learned that every year when the town does a harvest, Snorlax comes to eat, the town thus gets their fields plowed in the process, and they celebrate with a festival to thank him. Lord Shabboneau usually has the flute, but it was revealed Princess Allie of Parfum Palace took it. So they went to the palace, she challenges Ash to a battle, but despite Ash winning, she still refused to give the flute...until she let them have it on the condition of leaving Clemont with her. Of course, Clemont would end up escaping in the end, building a bot that would end up exploding.

All that brought the fans closer than ever before, even bringing back fans that haven’t touched the games since the GameBoy days. Battling with random people in the school cafeteria with StreetPass was so much fun 😭

    I was worried you wouldn't show that final and very special battle against AZ. But I'm so glad you did. Pokemon X and Y came out when I was in 8th grade, over 10 years ago, and even though I've never played it myself, I've always enjoyed watching others play through it. I had a friend that absolutely struggled with catching Mewtwo in the post game quests, but I knew how rewarding it must've felt when he finally did catch it. I feel like Pokemon X and Y are two of the most meaningful to me in that regard. Good job, I'm happy you got to play it once again! :)

    Most of the points you make are valid... but could be said of other older generations as well. I personally had a harder time playing platinum, it felt so slow. Best pacing might be gen 1 and 5 I think.
    The worst things X and Y did in my opinion were the fact that virtually no one uses mega except Dianthea and Lysandre, and most gym battles are 4 pokémon max, The ice gym is even only 3 and he doesn't even have a freaking mega-abomasnow !

      If anything the lack of running shoes in gens 1 and 2 and them being disabled indoors in gen 3 makes these kind of a pain to replay from time to time, but then again speedup exists on emulator.
      In terms of soul, content, balance, difficulity, game design and basically everything that matters gen 6 is way worse than the first 5 gens and it's only gotten worse since. To me XY is when pokemon stopped being good

    • @VideoGuy232
      @VideoGuy232 Před 5 měsíci +2

      Imo gen V was slow, especially toward the latter half of the game, (and the post game). The route>bridge>route sections overstayed their welcome for me. The bit between the 7th and 8th gym being the worst. But the segment between the 6th and 7th gym also drags.
      Gen 2 had the best pacing imo, but I realize a lot of people needed to grind, so maybe not so great in that capacity. As far as moving to new towns, incorporating story beats from old ones, and seeing how your actions affect the towns: Gen 2 is the gold standard for pacing imo. None of the routes feel too long, there aren’t a bunch of towns/ houses with nothing in them (looking at you Gen 3/4), and the caves/dungeons never overstay their welcome aside from maybe the radio tower. Most of the towns in Gen 2 you’ll visit twice, and the revisits always feel organic/elaborate on something foreshadowed on your first visit, which makes them feel more memorable than towns in later entries. I replayed Gen 2 recently, and while it gets a lot of hate lately, I don’t think there was much to dislike (aside from the lack of Pokemon variety).
      Truth is, every Pokemon game has egregiously slow sections. They usually backload them between the 6th gym and E4 (like the latter land portion/surfing sections in 3, the wintry part in 4, the routes and bridges in 5). In Gen 6 the slowest part was notably placed at the beginning of the game between the first two gyms (and it takes forever). Also worth noting is the victory roads in gens 3-6 are longer than those in 1/2.
      At the end of the day I’d say most of the classic Pokemon games would’ve benefited from shaving hours off their gameplay. The slower segments can easily be explained by hardware improvements allowing for quicker battles/inputs, so in order to compensate Gamefreak started artificially inflating the runtime of their games, mostly by making routes longer with more trainers and just adding more routes/towns in general. This problem is most evident after Gen 2, when we saw the biggest leap in processing speed.

    I won’t act like X and Y is the best of the Pokémon series, but I do wish more people recognize that this game was a huge step away from the pixel style. I’m sure most of this game was experimental even for the Pokémon Company. There’s a lot of little things you can do that you couldn’t do in other games like rollerskating, customizing your character, customizable Pokémon (Furfrou mostly), full friend group (instead of 1-2 rivals), mega evolution, and probably more things I can’t remember at this moment. I think the saddest thing about this game is that Pokémon Z was scrapped cause it probably would have made the game feel complete.

Anyways now I have Pokémon I’ve had since 2013 that I still use in battle too this day online, against my brothers, friends, work buddies, so while it wasn’t the best game, it was the best game too battle and trade in, I honestly can’t forget the hype of getting a random trade/battle and then blowing up someone’s team with 5 Pokémon remaining, like I don’t remember having that much fun in battle in any other game.

    Pokemon-wise, X is actually one my favorites. There were some incredible new Pokemon available in the Kalos region. A part of it was probably the addition of the fairy type, which quickly became my favorite. The starters are all great too, which is a nice change from Unova (I know a lot of people are only fans of Froakie, but I actually love them all.
    The game is definitely too easy, but it's still a fun experience, and the graphics are pretty good and despite having too many "friends" in this game, I think they did a good job of not spending too much time on explanations and cut scenes. Can't say the same about the Alola games.

    I was very reluctant to play X&Y games, but they ended up surprising me in a good way. I really liked the story, even though there are a few things that could improve, such as your rivals, Calem/Serena was kinda disappointing I was more shocked about Shauna's growth lol. And team Flare definitely lacked substance. But it was such a fun game to play overall ❤

    The Looker Post Game missions have some of the best story and plot I have seen a main line pokemon games. Also as an aside I very much found turning off battle animations makes the amount of trainers/battles not nearly as bad. I wish they didn't remove that "feature" from Generation 9.

    Hey Arlie, your video inspired me to buy a used copy of Pokémon Y this weekend, starting with Froakie! My last adventure through Kalos was in Pokémon X on release in 2013 with Chespin, and I still have the same file which I have become so attached to. This new playthrough on my new cartridge feels like such a fresh experience after over 10 years.

    I want to call x and y bad, but I can’t. They were the first pokemon games that I ever played and spent countless hours in the post game to get almost every legendary possible. I think the story could have been so much more, as looking back on it the villain was very obvious, but at least the main characters were so unique! If not in their personality, at least in their design

    I was also in high school when Pokemon X fist came out. Watching this reminded me how little I remember from playing this game. I liked getting my Gen 1 starter and I remember the Elite 4 building being pretty cool.
    Pokemon X wasn't my favorite game but I wouldn't mind going back to it.

  • @Man_of_Oil
    @Man_of_Oil Před 5 měsíci +6

    Amazing video!! Can't imagine all the time it must've taken to collect all of this. I will always have a soft spot for X&Y--I was also in high school at the time and the whole squad got so competitive with these games. I've never engaged more with the deeper mechanics of Pokemon than I did in this generation.
    To this day I feel like one of Pokemon's biggest mistakes is skipping Pokemon Z! I know they pushed forward Sun and Moon because they wanted to capitalize on the 20th anniversary of Pokemon and the popularity of Pokemon GO, but I cant help but feel like it changed the trajectory of the franchise for the worse. And Kalos deserved to be more fully fleshed out! It has so many quirks and charms but it needed that 3rd entry to polish the rough edges more than any other game before it.

Gen 6 was the last gen I played through before losing interest in the series, and this playthrough reminded me of how much I loved this game as a teen. Nowadays when I get the urge to play pokemon I always do Frontier stuff in E/Pt.

  • @fortello7219
    @fortello7219 Před 5 měsíci +7

    OMG you picked the cutest outfits and hairstyles for this whole adventure. I think they shafted the male characters a tiny bit, especially for a place as fashion forward as the game is set in.
    And I don't want to get into the (objectively bad) decrease in player options from future games rant. But of all those things that would make me want to see a sequel/remake of this game all those options are the biggest one.

  • @Web-Swing-Thomas
    @Web-Swing-Thomas Před 3 měsíci +1

    I started playing X and Y in 2014 when I was 11. My favorite part about X and Y was getting to battle Serena every day in Kiloude City in the post game. I wish they could have given the other rivals more character development. You battle Calem and Serena many times throughout the story, while barely ever battling the other rivals. However it was exciting to battle them all again towards the end of the game. I'm excited about getting to play through the Kalos Region again once Pokemon Legends Z-A releases.

  • @jimmypage910
    @jimmypage910 Před 5 měsíci

    One of the things I do to keep the gen 6 and beyond Pokémon games challenging and interesting (with the broken xp share turned on) is train a team of 12 instead of 6 where the 6 lowest leveled in my team are always party. I find this keeps you closer in level with in game trainers, allows you to experiment with new Pokémon, and your party will often not be perfectly balanced since its dependent on who your lowest levelled Pokémon are so that helps make some battles more interesting.

  • @zoopunch7912
    @zoopunch7912 Před 5 měsíci +2

    I'm still playing X to this day (mainly for the ribbons) but this game was peak for competitive battling. Reusable TMs and EV training is super quick compared to SV. O-Powers helping for breeding or leveling. Sure you can't max IV and level up Pokemon fast like in SV, but to EV train in the current game it takes a bit of time and resources. Mega Evolution will still be one of the funest mechanics for me and loved visiting old Pokemon with their new Mega Evolution forms. It was the first time they introduced a new mechanic into the game and went on to inspiring others (z-moves, dynamax, tera..). Seems like we've gone forward but also back in the new games. I rather plant and water berries to lower my EVs than playing mini games just for a chance at EV lowering items.

    @marlaneperkins8175 Před 5 měsíci +1

    I love X/Y. They were my first pokemon games (Xerneas my beloved) and im fully aware of their problems but at the same time i can see where they came from. Gen 6 was the first fully 3d pokemon game so most of the focus went to the 3dness. The way towns were designed, trainer customization, all the (that the time) brand new 3d pokemon models and of course the new fairy type . So other things, like difficultly got pushed to the side for all the new features and looks. We can only hope that when gen 6 gets a remake theyll buff everything since those once new things aren't new anymore and the focus and go back to game play.

    X and Y have tremendous remake potential. I’m imagining an open-world Lumiose City with the complexity of a city from the Yakuza franchise with a bunch of branching alleyways and sidequests. The same could be said for Castelia City in Unova, but I’m much more excited about exploring a city based on Paris rather than New York.

Anyway, not sure what it was about XY, but it seemed like it could have been something great with a few key changes, at least to me. Good vid btw, good opportunity to look back into the gens I didnt finish 👍

    I believe it has a genuinely good story, even if it could’ve been executed better, and it has some amazing designs!
    It has some wasted potential, yeah, it’s definitely in need of a good remake, but I love it regardless. It means so much to me.
