The Pokemon X And Y Experience in 2023

- Pokemon X and Y are some of my Favorite games of all time. But For some reason Gamefreak is acting like these Games never existed. There was no Pokemon Z and Mega Evolutions were completely thrown to the way side for reasons I cannot explain.
Really upsetting ain't it?
Even more upsetting is the Fact that these Games Came out 10 YEARS ago. Which is completely insane to think about.
How do these games hold up? Are Pokemon X and Y actually hidden gems or should they be rightfully forgotten?
Well let's find out in this mini Retrospective!

I loved how x and y had multiple “rivals” and there was a group of friends traveling together and the story really had me in a chokehold
Their more of Buddies than Rivals which makes them fine in my book!
Yea I loved the idea of 5 friends traveling together as well
They were inoffensive but I personally prefer the actual rival. I do hope they stop with the "buddies" or make sure we have an actual rival.
The non existent story had you in a chokehold lol.
@@Ryodarkcaster Won't be nonexistent anymore lol
Hot take: the exp share was a good change.
I don't want 90% of my gameplay experience to be mindlessly running through tall grass for 10+ hours just trying to get my pokemon up to level.
Problem is that it's forced exp share, if it was optional absolutely nobody would care
@@CaptainAdmiralMango Well it's just on by default. You can always turn it off.
The only issue is that they didn’t fix the level curve until Generation Seven. The good news is that you can turn it off for all the Generation Six games.
@@CaptainAdmiralMangono, it was default after ORAS. On X and Y you had the option to turn it off
@@ymiras7881 ah, my bad. It's been a good while since I played through Y
I agree man x and y are pretty underated
Nah they’re pretty meh
SAME
@@CoffinZ12nah they're great
No, they are lame and so freaking easy
@@ymiras7881 shut up
I don't care what other say, X and Y are one of my favorite pokemon, if any game have good fashion in them, it already high on the list of games I will like, beside that, X and Y have some of my favorite legendary ever, the story was decent. Honestly I miss the old school games, they were better then the newer gen.
Would be AMAZING if they remastered pokemon X and Y and they were open world like scarlet n violet
There’s just so much nostalgia in these games that they could be the biggest trash piles and i’d still love them🫡
i wouldnt say x and y are oldschool
Also one of my favorite games after HG/SS because it fully immersed me into the competitive side of Pokémon with how much easier they made breeding, training, and finding Pokémon WiFi battles in this game. A shame that they got rid of the PSS.
@@bensh0tCynthia still gives me ptsd
I see we're finally reaching that point in X&Y's lifespan that Black/White had reached in 2018.
Started out hated during release.
Forgotten about for 2-3 generations.
Now beloved by the people who grew up with those games.
In all honesty though as someone who grew up playing Gen 3 and 4, when I booted up ORAS the other day I felt a deep sadness in my chest that I couldn't go back to the days when XY and later ORAS launched. I remember opening up CZcams and watching some popular youtubers boot up and play their games for the first time. I remember the first time I ever tried making a competitive team, after I hatched my shiny blissey in front of the battle mansion near the daycare route in X/Y.
Well past my childhood, almost into my early adult life, Gen 6 provided lasting memories with me that I won't forget. And I know in 50 years from now, I'm going to be that boomer bitching about how "kids these days" don't know Pokemon, and how good we had it back in the day.
Geez, you really hit the nail on the head, or however you say that phrase…
There really were others just like me😭
When ORAS initially launched it was something else. They had the secret base system that could unlock items for and completely customize. You couldn’t go on any route without finding at least one base that another player made.
XY changed a lot. It was the first time ever a Pokémon main series game gets released worldwide on the same day. Before that it was the norm that the japanese get it first, then the internet is full of spoilers for the next months until the game comes out in other countries. Imagine coming from that and then finally getting to experience getting your game the same day as the japanese fans do. You could enjoy the game together at the same with everyone else in the world, everyone was anticipating the exact same day. That was a novelty back then in the Pokémon world. It felt like a big worldwide event.
I didn’t even know this! I was only 12 when these games released so I wasn’t aware of all these things. Very Intresting!
Pokémon X and Y have great features, great graphics, and almost perfect roster of creatures, one of the most underrated soundtracks in the series, the best Pokemon interaction features in the form of pokemon amie and its various minigames, multiplayer features and online interface, and super training. I just really wish it did more with the Story of the ultimate weapon and AZ as well as some locals like the powerplant and sun dial. And that the post game were much more vast with more areas to explore.
I agree with everything except the "great graphics" bit😅
@@bensh0t well I like the aesthetic. Even if the 3ds may not do it justice.
That’s very true! The autumn areas were a Vibeee!
@@bensh0t they were and if they had kept seasons most of the region could have looked like that.
@@bensh0tI liked the graphics
In 2023 I want to complete the Pokedex in X & Y.
I remember wanting the same until i realised it was impossible without pokebank💀😭
Try it!
@@bensh0tyea it’s not easy
@@bensh0tI’m sure there’s some kind of cheats to give you the shiny charm/ spawn in pokemon
X and y was my first introduction into serious Pokémon gaming, like IVs, breeding PVP and stuff. So it’s my favorite title go this day!
Nice!! Never participated in pvp myself but always loved to watch other CZcamsrs fight!
6 months later and now we get Legends Z-A lol, now we finally get the lore we wanted
its an absolute crime for GameFreak to not release a Pokemon Z
Hmm... mistrial bro
it's coming in 2025
I have to admit that the story was really short and gave us poor post game content. What I like about this game was the introduction of the phenomenal gimmick, fashion choices, party exp. share, and the 3D world. The game just feels so rushed but I still love the game since I had a lot of friends to play with.
Also, I made Serena dressed like her current outfit on the final season of Pokemon Journeys. Her outfit was pretty inspired from the in-game assets.
Yeah like you mentioned, there‘s a bunch of small stuff I didn‘t bring up in this video that make X and Y even more charming!
"do these games have problems?"
"OF COURSE, THEY'RE MADE BY GAME FREAK"
perfect way to describe pokemon as a whole
x and y where so fun honestly i remember playing it during its release and i will remember it forever
i played it when i was 11 :( now i am 21 thats so hard to accept how the time flies
but i playing right now a randomized hardcore nuzlock on pokemon y and its so fuuun
@@maximvarava yup time flys i played it when i entered primary school now i am going into college and will plan to play it again
@@ravenous6894 Damn.. if u have a pc play a randomize nuzlock👌🏼 its so much fun
Yea they were such fun games! I replayed Y again this past summer
@@ravenous6894you should! It was so fun to replay it. I first played it when I was 10 in the summertime
Pokemon Y was my first ever pokemon game because I was never interested in Pokemon until then. It still holds a forever special place in my heart. The fashion made me fall in love with it immediately and I fondly remember just spending ages skating around because I loved the controls. Mega evolutions were just the final cherry on top, I thought they were so cool lol, I really liked the graphics too :')
I loved these games tbh. While a lot of fans say it's when the series went downhill, it was nice to see the series take a leap and try something new.
I just wish they’d take more Leaps, more chances.
I was really excited for Arceus! But then they just went and released more typical Pokemon Games.
I think the series is starting to go downhill now after Scarlet and Violet. Hopefully Gen 10 is better
@@Timothyrpiano gen 8 was when things really became bad clunky and gimmiky (arceus was great tho) gen 6 and 7 were great but they def needed a harder dificulty i mean in gen 7 your rival picks a starter u have type advantage on for the first time ever
I honestly dont get why people complain about difficulty in Pokemon games. These games have NEVER been difficult (yes even the old ones were easy, they were just grindier). And yes, obly in newer games it has gotten even easier but since it's always been easy I don't see why this is even a major problem. The only valid criticism about this I've seen so far is the exp share toggle in SwSh and ScarVio being missing. A toggle would've been great.
I think there are more and bigger problems with Pokemon games than difficulty rn for e.g the removal of mega (Tera did improve meta but the removal of Mega was imo rly bad because it gave life to so many Pokemon) , the character customisation (SwSh was kinda decent but ScarVio was terrible) , the horrible artstyle they're going for since BDSP, the bug, the shallow open world, lack of actual post game (the last game with decent postgame storyline was ORAS since then it's just been rly bad), and just pure unpolished incomplete games that looks poorly put together. GF rly needs better developers because the current ones are just not cutting out.
totally agree with you except for the last part since ultra sun/moon had a pretty good post game@@knightenchanter7908
Found this video after seeing Pokemon Presents 2024. The effort put into this video and the comedy doesn’t go unnoticed
I love XY, and hearing « happy 10th anniversary » hit me like a punch to the stomach
My Bad og😭
Can’t believe the game is about to turn 10
great video, please keep it up, great editing and just overall funny and enjoayble.
Thank you!!!! It was kinda demoralising seeing this vid flop like it did… but this comment really cheered me up THANK YOUU!!
Oh my god, perfect editing
Yea it was cool how he reviewed the entire game and showed visuals from it in only 17 minutes
And now we finally get Pokémon ZA, with the good old Mega evolutions
I hope the algorithm blesses you man🔥🔥🔥🤞
Thank you! Even if it doesn‘t, imma keep at it😤
I remember playing X for the first time and I loved how the region looks, it's just so beautiful and colorful. The only thing that was a minus for me was that, since X was my first pokemon game I got used to the exp share and didn't really know that the previous games didn't had it at the start. Nonetheless, it was a great introduction into the world of pokemon for me I think and I really liked it as a kid.
I loved these games and still think they are the most aesthetically pleasing games. The OST is also so grand. I wish Pokémon Z existed instead of USUM which tbh really didn't need to exist. SM could've released in 2017 with Z either releasing in 2015/16. Man, I love Kalos.
People complained back then about B2W2 and were "tired of 3rd versions". This is probably why GF moved on to gen 7 (that plus it was the 20th anniversary of pokemon which couldn't be celebrated with the 3rd version of a crappy game).
IMO, Z or X2/Y2 should've came out for the 20th anniversary and Gen 7 should've been saved for the Switch.

yo your content is next level
i'm surprised you don't have more subscribers!
you just gained another one in me!
Ayyyy thank you!! Much love ❤️
I didn't even realize this was such a small channel, keep up the amazing work man
I liked the editing ur videos are super underrated
I love the use of Dokkan Battle osts. Good video man!
great editing man, haven't laughed so good in a while!
Glad to hear it!❤️✌️
These are my all time favorite games. There's something so charming about them, that I can't even explain, and they are easily the ones I've spent more time on
I feel the same way honestly, Pokemon games never hit the same after X and Y.
They were my first games, and I like how it gives you a big plethora of pokemon to choose from and the game is easy so I can just use whatever whacky pokemon I wanted and been fine lol. Its very nostalgic to me
i enjoyed this. keep it up mane!
great vid man, the memes killed me, keep going
I really enjoyed this video and how funny it was while still getting the point across and I’m sure editing took forever. You’re awesome bro!
Yup! This is definitely going on my fridge🫡 thank bro🥳
Great story telling skills, funny af editing and based usage of dokkan ost ye I've subbed
DOKKAN 🔛🔝
I loved Pokemon Y so much. Great region, great graphics, awesome Pokemon and an incredible Soundtrack.
Yes, it was pretty easy and I din't like the exp share across the whole team. However, I had a lot of fun playing it. It was also the first ever pokemon game that got me into shiny breeding and breeding for competitive pokemon due to the horde mechanic, friend safari for dittos and easy way to tell the pokemon's IVs.
4:14 “I think this is the first time in a Pokémon game where you could pic a second starter” In HGSS you get to pick your original Johto starter from Elm, a Kanto starter from Oak, and a Hoenn starter from Steven.😉
And you got a Johto starter after completing the dex in gen 3.
Even in Pokemon Yellow, you could obtain all three Kanto starters by the first three gym badges as gift Pokemon, granted you had high enough friendship with Pikachu :)
"But For some reason Gamefreak is acting like these Games never existed. There was no Pokemon Z and Mega Evolutions were completely thrown to the way side for reasons I cannot explain."
That aged well like milk 😂
How would I know They’d release Pokemon Z 11 years later😭😭😭😭
Playing for the first time since I stopped playing the games after Gen 3 and GOOD GOD X and Y are glorious. They deserve a remake.
I had no idea you would’ve just hit 1k subs by the quality of the video dude, congratulations on 3k now
Ayyy thanks man!! I intend to improve with every video😤
Ngl I have laughed at EVERY incarnation of Lysander.
Games - Hilarious
Anime- Also hilarious
Adventures manga - OH MY WORD HE'S MEMEWORTHY.
Lysander is a meme period.
Lysander looks like a red headed off brand version of the marvel character wolverine
@@thetronwarriors4817 that too
We'll finally get to see Kalos revamped. I pray Pokemon Legends ZA is great
Ngl the best thing about mega evolution is the fact its optional and u don’t have to mega evolve to get stronger. Unlike giving them a permanent evolution which means u do kinda need to
The edits and memes are hilariously timed
Sick editing keep it up man!
Thanks man!
awesome vid, makes me really wanna play those games again
Fire edit 🔥
Thank you!!
Pokemon legends Z-A my friend. Hopefully they will do Kalos right❤
Brother, I couldn‘t describe the happiness I felt during that livestream…
In my opinion pokemon games should have an hard mode for experienced players
great vid, funny af
I love X&Y, they could’ve been so much better but Game Freak rushed the game. Hopefully we get lucky enough to get the game ported to switch. 🙏🏼
Pokemon Z could’ve been an all time Great imo.
nah mate, you don’t want a rushed port on the switch rn
The only thing I hate about XY is ... these are the games introduced Megas ... BUT THE STARTERS DONT GET ONE !?!? And in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire the starters do get one !?!? It’s so stupid ...
Oh wow yeah NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT!! Shit makes me even more mad now.
It's cause the Gen 1 pandering
@@bensh0t EXACTLY !!! it’s infuriating ...
@@kylespevak6781 And sadly they keep doing it to this day ... can’t we just have new stuff instead of same old stuff over and over again ...
If I see a Charizard again I’m going to have a mental breakdown !!! An not a good one ...
As a kid I had limited time on my Nintendo so when I couldn’t play I spent my time strategising which Pokemon I was going to catch next and how my ideal team would look like. To me Pokemon’s main appeal always lied in the vast amount of knowledge to be gained: move pools, typing, stats, etc. For a while I’d find a new favourite Pokémon every day.
What frustrates me most is that the single player game doesn’t reward strategic play over mashing the strongest attack of your overleveled starter. The games offer a serious amount of depth which goes unnoticed simply because it’s not necessary.
Usually players like me will instead head to competitive play, but it just feels inaccessible due to stupid stat requirements like IVs (seriously I can count down the cases in which you don’t want max IVs on one hand).
I really hope game freak will realise that the games they produce have to be tailored towards children and adults alike
Sick comedic video funny man
very cool video keep it up !
among the best parts about x and y to me is the number of good pokemon you can get without the postgame or very late to the game
like aegislash, goodra, lucario, a kanto starter, talonflame , pancham, halucha there are many more to name, not in any other region except maybe unova , i have enjoyed building up a team (this does make you overpowered ingame but well, idc)
X and Y were some of my favourite games, my only problem was that they were way to easy and every run i played i always beat the game being 10 levels lower than every gym at all times
Yup the gym leaders were actually embarassing. W Sukuna Fan 🫡
they should have like a hard mode where they just amp 5 levels up to each person or something like that, a simple code change
Yeah a difficulty setting like every other game has had for the past 20 years😭
the way you cut through defeating Viola really got me haha
This is the first video i watched and its a banger tbh 😂😂
CHECK OUT MY NEW VIDEO!

You have a great editing style
Thanks man😚
X was the first Pokémon game I’ve ever played and man I miss it so much
Lmao your meme game is on-point, you've earned a sub
XY werent my first games however they were definitely my favorite
I just realized after watched a movie, that team Flare reminds me of those Matrix folks lmao
I never thought of that before lol I csn see the resemblance it's because of the sunglasses right?
@@thetronwarriors4817 Most likely
How do you only have 2K subs, this content is very good
Working on it! Thanks Man!!
very good video. you should cover more pokemon games in this style im sure you will get a lot of traction especially with your editing skills!
Thank you!!
I actually want to do more pokemon stuff! Only issue is that I don’t really know what I should cover 😅.
@@bensh0t I recommend black and white because of how controversial yet loved it is or maybe sun and moon with how people have felt some distaste but love for it
@@zweiigorgon8980 Sun and Moon could be a good Idea!
@@bensh0t I'd LOVE a Sun and Moon video from you! A lotta people hated the game but personally it's my favorite one.
@@SillySpaceOutlaw just finished the game, video is coming 🫡
Gen 6 is actually my favorite generation. The games were easy, but they made me excited, especially with those mega evolutions. I also love the xy/xyz anime so much. I still think it is the best anime Pokemon has.
Good video man 🫡
Bro you actually managed to make funny edits
Edit: yeah your editing is so funny, easy like
Best pokemon music is Miror B battle theme, that is good music and i will die on that hill
Hey dude, great video. I was cackling for almost the whole thing, will definitely be checking out more content. (Im also a grammar nerd so at 7:40 its supposed to be memorable* not rememberable)
Thanks man! Dang, I gotta be more careful with my grammar.🫡
Pokémon alpha sapphire is my child hood and the ending hit so hard
I need to watch more videos for this to become a sub but you are a great content creator so I will treat this video well and hope the algorithm sends me your way.
I respect it thank you very much🫡
This video was crazy enjoyable
Thanks!! You should check out the Sun and Moon video then!🙇♂️
I loved this new era of pokemon and I really love the battle mechanics each game but mega evolutions are my favorite of them all
Nice video, it doesn’t looks like ist from an account with just 3000 subs, but 6. gen is def your favorite
Remember, they had to make new 3d models for *every single pokemon*
This one video had a Raimi reference and Dragon Ball music, earned a sub from me😂
I've gotten both x and y games for christmas and I poured my heart and soul into them,too🥰☺😇
w vid whenever i heard you say that you hate mega evolution i was like bruh what he gonna say until you explained yourself and it was pretty funny bc ONG WHY DID GAMEFREAK JUST THROW SUCH A BADASS MECHANIC AWAY!!! well atleast we got in in ORAS
Now time for the undertale experience since you're a Gamer now
😭
Hell yeah undertale experience
honestly the biggest problem with x and y for me was team flare
And the Lackluster elite four team roster
Team Flare was fine honestly, not good not terrible
"It's the whole Thanos motif" HAHAHAHA THAT MADE ME DIE OF LAUGHTER
I want a X and Y remastered version for the switch just like they did with diamond and pearl😢
Remake we don't want bdsp again
Absolutely not that
@@theepicergreninja3018Trust me, you do. You don’t want to go through what gen 3 fans like me endured with ORAS.
@@c0mpu73rguyI def preferred what they did with oras compared to BDSP. It wasn't great, but at least it was something instead of just ripping code from a pair of games that were outdated not even a year or two after their release.
@@grimsongreen3217 Be careful what you wish for.
How does Malva's Room have enough Gas to create the 2 fire pillars when you enter it? How did Siebold get the plumbing to handle all the water that falls in when you enter his room?
_They probably used their own Pokémon to do that_
Bro cracked the code😨
Funded by the kalos government
Hoopa, volcanionin and diancie were obtainable from events in 2014-2015. So they were never unobtainable
I love Pokémon Y. It was such a fun game to play when I was younger! I’m glad I replayed it again this past summer
Subbed haha
Pokemon XY is literally the first pokemon where I literally dropped on using legendaries in my team because the game is just so easy.
True. Even in gen 5 where it started to get easier, Reshiram/Zekrom could NOT sweep because underleveled and levels slower. But XY....HO BOY, you just sweep with anything. We aint even gonna talk about ORAS and the free Latias/Latios 💀
What if instead of X and Y remakes, we get Pokemon Z? That probably won't happen, but just imagine the hype. They could give Battle Bond forms for the Kalos Pokemon, like the starters, they can add more anime content and have the Team Flare arc in it, they can give the gym leaders and elite 4 members mega evolution, they can add it to the Switch 2 and overhaul the graphics entirely, and they can even add anime exclusive rivals like Alain and Sawyer. Again, it won't happen, but please do it, GameFreak, because that would be awesome.
Pokemon Y was my first pokemon game and my favorite.
The first game into this series for me was black and white. Love gen 5. However, I also enjoyed x and y. Both are underrated
Genuinely hilarious, still hoping for a mega come back. 😁
I’m still paying x and y to this very day. So many people still play them for good reason
XY was my first game. I unfortunately lost my copies cerca 2016, but I had transferred a few trash mons into bank before then (none of my important ones, though, unfortunately).
It turns out, one of these banked mons was one I caught on my first ever day of pokemon, my 11th birthday.
Gogoat turns 10, and I turn 21 on October 17th :) crazy memories.
Haven’t missed out on a game since, and plan to get a new copy of X for my 21st.
Imma come back to this comment on October 17th. 🫡
I love the battle chateau, you can raise your Pokémon while making bank, and having a good idea of who your gonna fight, but also not quite. in all the other ones you either fight the elite four over and over again, or you run all over the place hoping the vs seeker will allow you to refight that trainer, its just feels right, having one place where all these people gather to fight, you can even pay to change what kinds or how many trainers appear, its just great, I'm sad its not in any other game, raising mons is such a pain in other ones, sure ev training got easier, but it just feels off in usum and beyond, and the berry garden? like that route 7 area is just the best for raising pokemon, its such a shame newer games haven't given us such an area again
I never realized that the legendaries were the gods of life and death
i see you using the dokkan OSTS tho, no escaping those bangers
Everyone whined about how unbalanced Mega Evolution was at first. People only complained after it was in the process of being shelved. But I was in the camp that started with loving Megas and still loves them now.
