Just wondering what day will u go to go fest ( if u do )
smoothest transition ever 10/10
these were my first pokemon games
My first Pokemon game was Pokemon Black
Never played X/Y or Sun/Moon they were the two games I never played because i was getting busier with school, which sucks but oh well.
Also I’m sure I am not alone, I would love to see more of George in future videos, even as an ending or in the sponsorships. He is adorable.
I still can't believe they had a rival follow you around the whole game whose singular character trait was "likes to dance"
dance man
When we get the XY remakes, we could totally get an expansion to other kinda stuff in the pokemon world, such as showcases given equal importance as gyms for Shauna to be a rival, and other kinda stuff like dancing or media for Tierno as a rival, then maybe making the pokedex an actual plot for Trevor I guess.
He had corphish tho that’s cool
I agree, dance man
And not only is his team NOT dance-based, and features hardly any dancing moves, there is no dancing mini-game for him to make sense!
Oh good I was looking for some existential terror and the reminder this game is 10 years old is exactly what I needed thanks
I was 5, this was my first game, so happy to have played it.
@@ethancarlson2871 I was 5 too and I wanted this game but I never got it. 10 years later my first game was SwSh and I'm sat here playing through the pokemon lineage on my 3DS.
The release of heartgold and soulsilver in japan is now further away (13 years 7 months and 16 day) than pokemon red and green were when hgss was released in japan (13 years 6 months and 16 days)
the true existential terror for me is that Pokemon Emerald is nearly 19 years old. I grew up on that game, and my very first video game ever, Pokemon Gold, is nearly as old as me as it released in NA 22 years ago.
God I feel old D:
Never knew you watched her videos
CandyEvie: "And in 5 to 10 years, when the nostalgia for X and Y reaches it's peak, you can bet Mega Evolution you can bet Megas will be coming back in a really big way."
GameFreak: "Nah, how does 2 years sound?"
haha
That's the comment I was gonna make lol
Bro megastar had been gone a entire decade gen 6 was 2014/15
@@societyisboring Z-moves may have been the new Gen 7 gimmick, but Mega Evolutions were still usable in those games.
This, i was about to comment the same thing.
“And you can bet Megas are coming back in a really big way”
They really are
This aged so unbelievably well
@@PiKaPiEdRaS the crazy thing is that it hasnt even been a year since this statement was made
literally the hardest part of X and Y was that furfrou puzzle in the mansion. the amount of trauma i still have from trying to trap that thing for a month was terrifying 💀💀
I remember having a hard time too😅
I remember that so vividly bro😔
Y’all must’ve had trouble with the farfetchd in ilex forest as well 😅
Bro I think the first time I played it I stopped for a few weeks bc I could never beat it 😭😭 trauma
Rookie numbers, i got stuck for a year
WE DID IT GAMERS
LESS GOOOOOO!!!
I always believed
Pokémon Z is happening! Zygarde is my favorite Pokemon, so I am over-the-moon HYPED for this game!
Kalos didn’t introduce too many new Pokémon but the dex was absolutely HUGE. You could catch so many Pokémon and build such fun teams
i remember when sylveon was first announced, a friend of mine showed me it during a sleepover and i thought it was the cutest eeveelution ever, i still do. sadly X and Y would apparently be the last game they'd release that would have a new eeveelution
Truly Eeveelution fans have lost all hopeon....
I wanted a dragon evolution if only to complete the trend of them all being special types
@@leikfroakies I know quite a few people who wanted a Dragon or Steel type Eeveelution
True. It was also my friend who told me that eevee has a new evolution and all about these new fairy typing shenanigans
@@blazypoo1723 Steel wouldn't fit the theme but Dragon would complete the set
I love how Luvie complains about not being able to get the boy only clothes, as if she doesn't know we got the short end of the stick with our customization options.
Eh, I thought my guy was decently dripped out.
@@CaptainCFalcon It's not that I hated the customization options for guys, it's that theres way less clothes for guys than girls in most pokemon games.
@@PhonyLyzard yeah, I know. We didn't have as many options, but we at least had decent variety.
@@CaptainCFalcon Guess so dude.
@@PhonyLyzard
They should have made all clothing gender neutral. The cowards!
I think my favorite part of the story regarding Lysandre was that in Pokemon Y he totally died- but in Pokemon X there's a chance he's just stuck under all that rubble, immortal.
He survived in both, there's an NPC speaking about it during the endgame apparently.
@@c0mpu73rguy Interesting. I only found mentions of the dialogue. I love him as a villain and I'm open to all endings, but I do love a good tragic villain forced to live eternally.
@@doukzu If he didn't died in Y, he's probably not cursed with eternal life in X either. Not that he would need it anyway, people don't die in pokemon (except spoiler in you know what game), look at old Oak that should be nearing his 100th birthday now.
@@c0mpu73rguy I mean, Kalos has an NPC canonically die in game, so people do die. But regardless, Lysandre *is* probably alive and immortal in both X and Y. Yveltal still powers the weapon with life energy, not death energy
@@Shinntoku Lysandre didn't die, there is an NPC speaking about seeing him in the endgame apparently (I'm pretty sure he became immortal like the big guy). There is only one confirmed (human) death in the whole game franchise so far and I won't you tell where or else I'll ruin it for you.
Who’s here after Pokémon Legends Z was announced
Everyone from now until the vid is taken down.
Wake up, Evie. Pokemon Z is real.
Ah yes pokemon ZA
The music and looks of X and Y has got to be incredible. They really put all their hearts into the 3D graphics, they made the game look so beautiful and sound so new.
Still looks better than Scarlet and Violet lol
Too bad they didnt spend that time on anything else.
@@CalebNewbery That is the fattest lie I've ever seen in my life. Just say you want to find any and all excuses to hate on the newest pokemon game and shut up
What about Alola.
@Coolerranch1 Kalos > Alola
(Just my opinion, not saying you're wrong if you like Alola more)
X and Y will always hold a special place in my heart. It was the Pokémon game that brought me back into Pokémon and made me love Pokémon like it was my first time playing it.
Same here! I played X in 2022 months after I got my 3ds. Meaning I've played that game and grinded all mainline games and PLA chronologically till Scarlet and Violet just to catch up.
Shoutout to X and Y for also being the first game to introduce multiple skin colour options!
Battle Revolution for Wii did it a bit before but I know what you mean.
@@rickydargence5948they probs mean pokemon game
@@rickydargence5948 They mean the main series, But it's good to here people talk about spin offs too!
The customization of X and Y is still unmatched by any other Pokémon game
@@schoonerthedog If you pick the girl that is.
x was my first pokemon game 😭😭😭 i was five when it came out and i remember accidentally hitting “yes” for the nickname option. i still have my delphox named “FENNEKIN”. hurts to know it’s been 10 years
So it IS a universal experience
As an adult who had X as her first game, this hits hard. This means I’ve officially been a pokemon fan for 10 years.😭 Shoutout to Fred the Delphox, my first ever pokemon.
I'm also an adult who grew up with x/y and sun/moon but I still can't believe most of us are adults, it feels like it came out less than 5 years ago.
We are the same xd
Now I feel old. My first Pokemon games were Red and Blue in 1998...been playing ever since though.
Same. XY got me intovthe pokemon games
*Cries in original Ruby
(which I still have, btw)
I am SO VINDICATED to hear somebody calling out the fact that gen 5 was hated when it came out (It was my first game and I LOVED IT when it came out, but when I called it a good game at school, I would start a goddamn war). I just really like the fact that it's at least being called a good game today because for a while, I thought I was going crazy because all my friends act like this game was never hated.
Haha, I feel the same way as you buddy. I searched up pokemon x y on the internet because none of my friends played pokemon games and I so disappointed to know that literally no one liked x y.
Right? Like I genuinely had fun with the game, it was the last game that I played where I felt any sort of need to actually "train" my pokemon, and a lot of the designs from that game are some of my favorite
YES I DO LIKE THE GEARS WITH CLOWN NOSES WHAT ABOUT IT?!?!
@@stephenkrahling1634 well... I wont say that I dissagree about your love for the Gears, but I'll say that gen 5 has some of the best pseudo legendaries of the whole series.
I guess it's a similar phenomina to Sonic Unleashed.
I really enjoyed XY too the music was enjoyable and it had some of my all time favourite pokemon never understood the hate about it heck my brother thought "wait since he likes pokemon how about i give pokemon Y as a birthday present" a few years back and i loved it
SHE TOLD THE FUTURE
X and Y introduced some things that im still fairly upset never got included into other games, and im not just talking about Mega Evolutions. The star restaurants were my favorite thing. It was a good way to make money, and farm exp. I also agree with the clothing option stuff, every other game has given the option for customizable clothes but I think Kalos' are still the best. I also liked the berry farming becauae it felt like I worked for and earned everything I harvested lol.
Im also upset that the cafes that gave you dex entries never really went further. There have been ways to have "seen" pokemon without battling them in other games but I really like the idea of being able to go to a place and fill in random dex entries for a small in game fee. I just wish they had more than a handful of pokemon that would be shown off and would actually just show you any random dex entry
Editing to add that people have wanted more gyms based on "gimmicks" rather than types and the restraunts were also pretty good with that especially the last one.
I started getting into Pokémon just as X&Y came out, so the nostalgia I get just seeing any Pokémon related around that time just makes me feel happy, from the games, to the anime, even the cards. All of it just reminds me why I love Gen 6, and Pokémon as a whole.
Same here
samee, i remember the ads on tv were about BW2, and later XY, I started pokemon around there with Black 2 on a dsi xl!
i got my first 3ds last November with my own money and im playing through Y, it's so neat
Same, I got into pokemon around that time, and got into it from the xy anime
I got into Pokémon around when Diamond and Pearl came out, but I didn't play those games. Instead, I played Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time and watched the DP anime. I only got into mainline Pokémon games when X and Y came out.
Same
It's really good that the anime of X and Y was probably one of the best seasons-it really added more necessary depth to Kalos that we never actually got to see, and I'm incredibly grateful for that.
Yes! The XY anime is my favourite! It's so good.
XY on top, great story that people over 4 years old can enjoy.
100% agree
started binging the xy anime because of peoples chatter about it, plus nostalgia since I loved the first 20 or so eps as a kid. My GOD this series is fun as hell
I love the XY anime so much! Currently rewatching the whole series
I agree that Kalos is the prettiest region. Walking around Laverre City and seeing all the foliage just gives me good vibes. Seeing foliage is my favorite part about living in a cold region like the American Northeast. And it reminds me of when I was a kid living along the Hudson River and seeing all the colorful trees on the Hudson Palisades whenever I took a train into NYC. The Metro-North's Hudson Line is one of the most scenic railway lines the US has to offer. And because of the Northeast climate, we have a different Vivillon pattern from most of the US (the other US patterns are Modern and High Plains) called Polar, which is also the pattern in much of Canada, Alaska, and southern Argentina and Chile.
And while sure the Gym Leaders were very much easy, the Kalos Gyms are the best design wise. 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 because it was something I didn't expect when I first played. Not to mention the stunning Coumarine Gym and the fact the first ever Fairy gym at Laverre City is a GIANT DOLLHOUSE...well played.
I was really young on the realese of pokemon x and y, but I played it some time later. It was my first pokemon game, and I have its nostalgia nowadays.
X & Y will always be one of my favorites. I think the simplicity is part of its charm, its such a comfort game
You said sun and moon had good story’s and I screamed in joy, thank you!
Sun and Moon do have a good story and I'm glad to hear other people recognize it.
Oh one of the best Pokemon stories for sure, genuinely loved USUM so much
Yeah agreed, I think too many people are quick to judge them because of the long tutorial, but the story was actually good, USUM's... slightly less but still good, but also I think that's made up for with all the extra game modes and Pokemon they gave us, gen 7 was a good gen no matter how you look at it. Even the trials, I liked them, a unique thing, that hadn't technically been done in the franchise before... I say technically because season 2 of the anime, the Orange Island gyms function very similarly, which is why I'd hoped with PE's announcement, we'd get them as like sister islands to the Sevii Isles... sadly we didn't even get the Sevii Isles.
as long as its not SM's dlc, USUM, of course
imagine making a milf villain so cruel that you need to retcon her evilness to make her a "misunderstood anti-hero"
@@nathanblumprazeres3617
What DLC?... oh you mean USUM in general was DLC even though it wasn't? That wasn't a retcon, it's as much of a retcon as Yellow, Crystal, Emerald or Platinum, it's a 3rd game, an alternate reality, a what if scenario. It showed different contrasts to the alignment chart, she's on complete opposite ends, chaotic evil in SM, then lawful good in USUM. Showing that evil is still evil, that 2 wrongs don't make a right, events can have different types of impacts on people, even 1 individual may go through multiple different things, along with many other lessons. Thus the contrast of the games, Sun, Moon, and Star, they're all different things, function differently, but at the end of the day still provide light, unless that light is taken away from them in the case of Star, aka Necrozma, a living black hole, which was caused by human intervention, thus creating several other messages. That and their ties to alchemy, that Solgaleo and Lunala are based off things that take their celestial bodies and consume them, while in the end Necrozma was doing just that in consuming either Solgaleo or Lunala to try and regain what it once was, much like Kyurem, but will never be completely whole ever again, no matter how it satiates its' hunger. Human greed and gluttony, especially during the age of alchemy, there are a lot of parallels to humanity and how we work. That Ultra Necrozma is gold, the alchemical symbol for God, the perfection of all matter on any level, mind, soul, and spirit. Meanwhile its shiny is platinum, something even further beyond.
I don't disagree that was a weak point, especially since I don't see why that'd make Lillie or Gladion run away, but that was the intent of it, and USUM had a lot of other great things SM didn't to make up for that.
X was in fact my first pokemon game! I was also 14 when they came out, just late to playing in general. I remember going to walmart to buy a 3ds and specifically X and they only had Y, and the man helping tried to convince me to get Y instead but I refused and went to another store 😂
I've played other pokemon games since and I love a lot of them, but X and Y have such a special spot in my heart, packed full of nostalgia
I really wanted X because I thought Yveltal looked ugly, but by now, I rather like them both
@@anzaia2164 LMAOOO CRYING THIS WAS ME TOOOO
15:00 aged well
X/Y was my first set of games, and they're my very biased favorites. Mega Evolutions are still my favourite generation-specific mechanic and it's a shame they haven't come back.
Same! RIP Mega Infernape.....😭
I dropped out of Pokemon for a bit and got back into it with X. Great decision, so much fun! (Rollerskater game play was so fun!)
Hopefully they get around to remaking them one day. (Well, ofc. Most likely after gen 5 remakes, since the last remakes were gen 4.)
Maybe they'll make Pokemon Z or an equivalent to it along with remakes like with Diamond and Pearl, having Legends Arceus?
Megas we're my favorite mechanic, but 3rd gen is my fav. Soo Alpha Sapphire is my golden child lmao
I mean, they did return in all of the gen 7 games (including let's go), but yeah. At least they'll return in gen 6 remakes when they eventually happen.
People can look back and criticise but if you grew up playing pokemon, the feeling you got seeing that Fletchling fly around your bedroom in 3d for the first time felt absolutely incredible - complete game changer.
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 too, 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. Really wish we got a Z though, because the Z season of the anime was incredible. The XY anime introduced many to the franchise
Here's some XY Easter Eggs: After defeating Psychic Robert on Route 10, you're told that your power levels must be "over 9000"...if you know, you know. Upon meeting one of the trainers on Victory Road, they say "My body is ready." This is a reference to Reggie's statement at the E3 2007 Nintendo press conference. Talk to the man in the Pokemon Center in Shalour City to hear him tell you about a game he is playing where a cool little dude "runs around and whacks enemies to the beat of the music." A reference to HarmoKnight.
Here after the announcement of Legends Z-A
I just recently replayed X and while the rivals were forgettable, I really, really liked the character of Sycamore. There was some sorta internal turmoil going on with him. He actually mentions that he's bad at battles. He's like, take these Pokemon away from me, they deserve better. Bruh. Later if you talk to the right people at the tower of mastery you learn that he tried and failed to master mega evolution. Dexio and Sina are hilarious too, and fully deserve the extra love they got in Sun and Moon. The little masks and scarves are cute as hell. I liked that Sycamore was the one who introduced you to Lysander because they were friends. He tells you all about what a cool and trustworthy guy this sexy man is. After Lysander snapped literally Dexio and Sina are all like, yo, we're with the professor, he's not great. They're like, listen, this is a children's game. We're just saying he can't be left alone, alright. He's having a hard time. Jesus christ. And then after the whole near destruction of the world, he literally finds you and APOLOGIZES to you. He says he blames himself for not seeing it coming. Like, dude, you're good!!! I'm the one who pushed the red button anyways!!! I have Xernias right here and they say they're fine too!!!! Sycamore is the moodiest, Frenchiest beanpole out there. Take the yellow paint away from him, Sina. Get this guy some Zoloft and pop music. How terribly relatable. THIS is escapism?
In all the other games up until this point there's no explanation for why the professors or champs didn't help with the crisis of the day. XY just kinda decided Sycamore didn't help because he's bad at Pokemon and then they make you feel sorry for him. It's perfect. It's really good. I love it. Those three are like a cute little wholesome polycule or something. Glad he's got people looking out for him. Feel better Sycamore bisoux!!!!
It's funny how I forgot about Calem even though there was a whole thing about how me and my sister pronounce his name.
If you watch the anime, you know Serena. But Calem wasn't in the anime. (I don't think so at least?)
I never played XY but Pokémon Masters introduced me to the Grade A DILF that is Professor Sycamore
@@bluebaron6811 ??? what does this mean
I liked shauna ngl, not the other rivals though
@@sssspiderPLSSSS
Pokémon Z was such a missed opportunity and makes me cry every time I think about how cool it could’ve been 😭🥲 still hoping for Pokémon Z when Kalos remakes comes out
This video aged like fine wine
Pokemon Y was my first pokemon game and I gotta say that it was an incredible entry point. My favorite is still ORAS followed by USUM, but I will always have a special place for XY in my heart. I would've never even considered ORAS or USUM without having experienced Y and had so much fun doing so. Great video! Glad to see someone enjoyed the game as much as I did :)
Same. I remember people would call XY "baby's first pokemon game" and I was like yeah I agree.
@@marcdimartino9118 As someone who's been here since Red and Blue, pokemon X and Y are beautiful games and in my favorites next to pokemon Colosseum, heart gold and soul silver, and black and white, Emerald.
@@kirvu9677 That's awesome.
x and y are quite possibly my favorite pokemon games, and i hold them very close to my heart. it's hard to believe they're a decade old now. i love xy so much, and it makes me really happy whenever i see them get appreciated
There's a bot that will scam you in replies here
Agreed, X was my very first and even though I'm a major pokemon fan now back then it was my whole personality lol
I miss it, and I miss how new things felt around that era of Pokémon. Might just be nostalgia talking though 😅
Worst gen everrrrrr
@@trainelekid shut up
Same feels. Pokemon x & y was like my starting point for me to get into pokemon.
X & Y actually were my first Pokemon games and they got me hooked into the series as a whole. I think they're far from the best Pokemon games but despite that, they're the ones I love the most.
my first was ORAS, kinda wish it was x&y though the game is amazing, only played it just recently lol
same same same Favorite doesn't mean Perfect or Flawless, it's ones that captured your heart, and Pokemon X & Y did the same for me
They weren't my first-first games, but they were the first Pokemon games I played after a 10+ year hiatus.
XY does have many problems but I'll always love it like a tasty guilty-pleasure food
Gotta say, you really overshot that estimate of when Mega Evolution would return
10:18 yup. 5-6 years for megas...
Something with XY really rubbed me the right way. I think first because it was the first 3D main game, so I could finally see pokemons fighting in 3D and closer to a cinematic battle I always had in my head, but then the game had the gall to be so.... ADORABLE!! Everything about the game felt so cute! The map based on France, the orchestral music (seriously, why the starter town's theme go so hard!?), the emotional plot with the tall immortal bruh, the majestic X legendary, Fairy Types, and even the tiny detail that all Tourist-class trainers have japanese names made me feel like the only way to put XY in a word is "Delightful".
As an adult whose first pokemon game was X and Y, I felt deep nostalgia watching this video. Thank you for reminding me of my childhood :)
I rented a copy of Pokemon Y when I first bought my 2DS and I really enjoyed the entire experience. I didn't have/know about Pokemon Bank at the time, so I couldn't keep anything from my saves until much later after I bought Sun and a copy of Omega Ruby on the same day when Sun released, but I still had a great time. It got me back into Pokemon, which I had quit back when Pokemon Black/White bored me and forced me to realize I had become disinterested in the changes the series was making (constantly animated 2D sprites didn't do it for me, everything looked so pixelated; and the excess 3D that DPPt and HGSS started was only getting more excessive and ruining the aesthetic of 2D Pokemon).
So having a big 3D Pokemon game that *finally* added player customization was awesome. I was hooked. Eventually I got my own copy of Pokemon X down the line, and ultimately I did enjoy Pokemon Sun the most despite the excess of dialogue in it mainly because of the refreshing new region and its trials (plus regional forms!), but I will always remember XY fondly. I remember my first, well maybe not *first* but *early* wonder trade where I got a random Darmanitan that I had never really seen before and wound up using moments later against the Cyllage City gym leader. That was pretty cool.
And Pokemon Amie, letting you play with your Pokemon with some nifty minigames that I became somewhat obsessed with for a little while. It was all great. Megas were genuinely just the cherry on top of what was a very exciting entry in the Pokemon series. I will miss the many cool forms we got from them.
Hard to believe people disliked XY and complained about them a lot online for a while. I never understood it. They were fantastic.
Same here
I love how Legend Z just got announced and she says it'll take another 5-10 years. She is a prophet of pokemon
Pokémon Y was my second game. I played it when I was like 11 years old. My mind was blown when fairy type was announced
Thank you for this :) . XY may not have been perfect games, but they absolutely deserve a love letter and being recognized for what they DID bring to the franchise.
Dexit? Flying pokemon not being allowed to land despite how ridiculous some looks? Player characters now all looking the same because of player customization? Oh yeah, so much good stuff... (oh and that other comment is a scam by the way, ignore and report it)
@@c0mpu73rguy As if Pokémon characters looked less alike before
@@c0mpu73rguy wrong gen
XY did not cut out any pokemon and kept the national dex
@@jamesgiles4517 I’ve heard it has the biggest regional dex but idk if that’s still true or not, also they mentioned flying Pokémon always in air in battle but SV completely undid that choice
@@c0mpu73rguy do you even know what pokemon XY is? Your complaints are valid but not for XY, but for sword shield…… XY had the national dex and started customization, in 2013
Personally, X and Y have a special place in my heart. that was the era i fell in love with the Pokémon series.
10:41 It's also unfair that the female trainer has _so_ many more fashion choices than the male trainer. It's just T-Shirts, button ups that they keep open, and jackets. Girls get so many more options and they're all cute. It would be nice to get a suit options and picking out ties. Maybe Snowbelle can sell an overcoat like what Looker has.
There so much more that men can wear, and it's unfair that the female trainer go so many cute clothes
KALOS REMAKE OMG!!!
Not a remake but a legends game
I'm old enough to have played every game as it came out. X & Y I feel have always been very underrated for everything they brought to the series. I definitely put them up there as one of my favorite gens.
I also started in gen 1 Pokémon red
It's faster if I name what games I missed
Played most of them
And gen6 is the best gen
It took me a while to get used to it because it's really different from the traditional vibe of Pokémon which is adventure epic exploration
Into chill friendship vacations memories nostalgia costumization interactions
I feel like Gen 6 is the border the separator from past and present in which Pokémon stopped being about the players and our journey to conquer a new region
To it's about the Pokémon and their world being presented to us we getting to know the region better
It's not about our journey to the top but the regions themselves welcoming us
Once I understood this switch and accepted this different mindset in how different gen 1 to 5 was compared to gen 6 till today
Gen 6 quickly became my goat
I had an orange tabby named George. He was always laying in my bed with me when I would stay up late playing my pokemon games, X and Y included. Sadly he got stomach cancer and is no longer with me, but he gave me some of the best memories for the fifteen years I had him. I hope your George brings you as much joy as mine did Evie.
Someone once told me going around the fountain ten times or something like that would give me hoopa I did it when I was a kid and was sorely disappointed
watching this the day after Legends ZA announcement is wholesome
The number of hours i put into this game... generations 5 and 6 were the peak of my love for Pokemon, so many memories that im eternally grateful for
Best time to be a pokemon fan, maybe only after gen 1 I guess
xy truly was incredibly beautiful. it was so beautiful that i didnt even care abt how easy it was, it was just v exciting. something that oras came close to IMO (as a true hoenn lover), but xy just had something special
oras was also special ofc but i feel like the roughness and simultanoues polish of the xy look makes it v charming
Kalos just felt... kind. It wasn't an overcomplicated region like Sinnoh or Johto, and it's not too simple like Kanto or Galar.
They managed to meet at an area in the middle, and I like that.
Also a reminder that this was sadly the last time the Unova Monkeys were in a game.
The X and Y anime was what got me into pokemon when i was 8 and to this day i have never recovered 🙂
People tend to forget 10 years ago we didn’t have the tech or gamestyles we do now not to mention the fact everyone was a legit kid so stuff didn’t matter. I get the fact that it’s easy now at 24 years old but back in the day that maze used to mess so many people up in x and y. So really it depends on if you are playing the game as an independent adult or a kid that relies on their family for help
Its a blessing to see Candy casually return after a month to talk about Pokemon

Honestly, X and Y are kinda my favorite. i loved that there was so much to do that brought me back to towns I had already been to. The battle chateau was a great way to level up or earn money , the pokemon daycare/breeder was a cute spot, the berry fields to grow and harvest berries, the big city where I could change up my Frou Frou, battle for a meal, or make pokemon videos. Plus the fact that I could increase my pokemon stats by feeding them pokepuffs was adorable. I wish the newer games included more side activities
You got it today !!! Pokémon Z is here
Makes sense Why gen 6 had few pokemon. Its because of the 48 Mega evolutions! There is also vivillion with the different patterns. Furfrou and floette also have dofferent forms
X and Y may not have been the greatest games, but they gave us some of the greatest Pokémon of all time in Greninja and Sylveon, the aesthetically coolest battle gimmick in Mega Evolution, and of course, one of the greatest series in the main Pokémon anime.
I agree with you there. Gen 6 is my absolute favorite generation of them all. Least favorite ring gen 5
Greninja fans are annoying tho, Lucario is better
@@SMCwasTaken both are cool to be honest.
Alsl greninja is just gen 6 charizard.
@@SMCwasTaken At least they're not as perverted as Lucario fans. Did you know that Lucario has more results on Rule 34 than even Gardevoir? And yet she's the one being accused of being sexualised by Pokémon fans.
@@wintersong2266 Really ? while searching random stuff it's ALWAYS Gardevoir, I've never seen Lucaio R34 in the wild
Kalos is honestly so underrated, mega evolution, fairy types, some amazing new mons (freaking Noivern) and AMAZING sound track
Slow battles, 3d that forced GF do stop putting every pokemon in the following games (which wouldn't have happened if pokemon games had stayed sprite based), Mega Evolution that introduced the battle gimmicks every single gen, a freaking Keychain with eyes, europop soundtrack (yay...), what's not to like in there indeed? =.='
@@c0mpu73rguy games were never going to stay sprite based, gimmicks are a vital part of games from that moment on and I personally don’t mind Klefki
@@c0mpu73rguy sprites wouldn't have saved the nat dex
Nah it's a huge downgrade from black and white
@@c0mpu73rguy Sprites wouldn't have saved the pokemon, we were at 720 by the time XY came out, there was no way they'd all stay.
Plus, games have to modernise eventually, it couldn't stay in sprites forever, not on newer hardware.
X & Y are my favorite pokemon games ever, the fashion mechanic, the look of the game and the pokemon, the story while silly was still impactful, the geberation's pokemon were lots of fun and had amazing designs, it was just one of the best games ever and so much fun. I need to buy a 3ds charger and replay is again 🥺
that music gave me a real nostalgic trip. I feel in a similar position, understanding the and agreeing with the criticisms of the game but still loving it especially because of nostalgia.
It was my first Pokemon game.
I was 10, so nostalgia hits really hard.
I love the game!
I hope the remakes will be even better.
It was my first Pokémon game to it is so sad and fun to replay it
My first pokemon game was heat gold and soul silver
@@eevee2304 mine was ruby!
It’s game freak don’t get your hopes up yet
Mine was the Pokémon game on the 3DS I forgot the name of, it has the miis in it
seeing all the love for x and y made me tear up a little. gen 6 is my favorite generation and it just brings me joy seeing it get the appreciation it damn well deserves.
I got pokemon X for my 12th birthday. Very first pokemon game I ever played too. I hold it very VERY close to my heart and I had no idea that it was so hated when it came out. I was too busy making childhood memories.
Im 18 and graduated now, X & Y was my kinda first game (i shared my black game with my brother) and even just hearing the Kalos sound track it reminds me of some good times :') my mom bought me a 3ds just to play it for my birthday! I never did finish the game though since i didn't really understand the game mechanics lol
Pokémon X&Y will always have a special place in my heart because it’s the first pokemon game I played since Red. I was one of the people who got a 3DS for my birthday just to play it and I kept that save for years until recently when I traded all my most memorable pokemon to bank/home and reluctantly reset my game to replay it. Kalos is still my favorite region to this day and I truly do hope we get to see it again someday soon.
It was my first pokemon game, I got it in 2014 and I loved it so much, I've replayed it 2 or 3 times now, I still love it so much, so I totally get the nostalgia lol
Same! I can’t bring myself to delete my safe file though lol
CANDYEVIE WERE GETTING KALOS BACK IN A LEGENDS STYLE GAME! WE GET TO RETURN BACK TO KALOS!
I have a soft spot for these games. I was 12 when this game came out, and while I'd played pokemon before I was way too young to care too much about it. I got SO into pokemon after this lol. I downloaded emulators on my laptop and played all the gameboy games and begging my mom to buy me the older DS games.
X and Y are the only games that feel actually unfinished there’s so much that feels like it was meant to have a follow up of some kind. The ghost girl, the train station message, zygarde etc
Exactly. Thats the issue. Most Pokemon games are well received because many of their issues where fixed with a third game. Emerald, Platinum, HGSS, B&W2, UMUS and even the DLC for SWSD and SV
That's probably because they had sequels in mind while they were making the games, but Nintendo said no because of the reception B2W2 got.
It definitely sucks, but it could be worse. It could be Gen 9 levels of unfinished and unpolished.
I remember this game. Floette returning to Az was the first, and so far only, time I cried at a Pokemon game. They did a great job displaying his emotions there.
"in 5 years when the nostalgia for x and y reaches its peak you know mega evolution will be coming back in a big way"
and now we have Legends ZA on its way in a year lmao
X and Y where my first Pokemon Game! I watched a YT Video about it when I was like 5 or 6 and I got it for christmas! No Pokemon game has ever made me as happy and filled with wonder as the 3ds games, thank you X and Y for all the memories 🥲
It wasn't my first pokemon game but it definitely was the one I played the most. My parents bought me a Pokebank subscription and since I could place my pokemon in a safe place, I reset and replayed X like, five times. It meant the world to me and I'm sad it's basically been forgotten.
I still go back XY to this day. I can acknowledge they aren’t the best Pokemon games (Hell I think ORAS outshines them in almost every way) but they have a certain charm to them that really makes me appreciate them. To this day I’m still sad we never got a third version, because Kalos really needed a second chance.
Agreed
We also need answers to questions about that hex maniac ghost
Not only the ghost girl, I wanna know what’s in that locked part of the power plant
@@dmansuperich2800 Perhaps Kalos's equivalent of Ultra Beasts or Paradoxes ;)
Mega Evolution did come back for the Yellow Remakes (Let's go) but it's not Kalos or anything.
Since the last remakes were of Gen 4, they will do Gen 5 remakes next, then Gen 6. And since X and Y are TEN YEARS OLD now, it feels like remakes are more of a possibility. Still crazy, though.
Here's a crazy idea, that they won't use but it would be hilarious, if the Gen 6 remakes were 2D...
@@eglol That would be amazing
2D Kalos sounds like something I'd play
As an old Gen Wonner, I really appreciated Y, it was the outreach I needed to get back into Pokemon after... Several years away. I had tried with White 2, but it was all rather a lot and so I went back to my comfort zone, good old Blue. With X&Y I was willing to try again and I am glad I did. And Sun was an excellent chance to branch out into the newer stuff. I'll always have fond memories of my 2 Snorlax's decimating everything in the whole of Kanto, but I have learned to love the new as much as the old, and have been possible without Y.
I am always to praise B/W, but this is an angle I hadn't considered before! I loved the decision to have all new Pokémon before beating the league, I think it makes the region feel distinct, and I liked being forced to experiment with a new team instead of always returning to the same monsters. But for an old fan, who hadn't kept up with the series, that must have been quite disorienting!
Did you buy the game, but not fully play through it, or were you just interested, but turned away from promo?
(I don't really expect an answer, it's an old comment, but it's just interesting to ponder)
Y was my first Pokémon game I played, I was 9, and being able to catch all the different legendaries and all the different megas, it completely hooked me since
Pokemon X Y was my very first mainline pokemon game, it deserve more love , I still remember the memories playing the games fondly with Fennekin as my starter :')
Fennekin was always a cute one. I loved her color scheme
Same for me. I've played it many times and still can't bring myself to use a different starter. She's just so cute, and then she turns into an awesome magic fox-girl.
@@GiuseppeDAntelmi i honestly think the worst thing about Kalos is the lost of any sequel. That made it feel incomplete with many locations and mysteries never getting a conclusion. The anime though really pulled out all the stops with Serena being one of the most popular pokegirls
I will never forget the feeling of being able to go diagonally in this game. GOING DIAGONALLY IN POKÉMON IS TRULY REVOLUTIONARY!
YESSSSSSSS I LOVE X AND Y SO MUCH!!!! While Gen 6 wasn’t my first gen, I was still a kid when it came out, so it’s incredibly nostalgic to me!!! I have so many fond memories of playing X I love it so much!!!
I was around 12 when X and Y came out, and I begged my mom for a 3DS just so I could play it!
While I think in retrospect the game was lacking a lot, there's a lot of insanely good additions that I'm glad we got. I also look back fondly at the way leak season was for X and Y. That era was completely different and it was so much fun waking up in the morning to a new Corocoro scan that had everyone confused about its legitimacy.
Also, there were plans for a Pokemon Z. I can't remember where I heard this, (I think TyranitarTube covered it) but in the code for XY and ORAS, there are several references made to a hypothetical X and Y sequel that just never came about. I think between the Ruby and Sapphire remakes, and the 20th anniversary fiesta that was Sun and Moon, they just didn't get enough time.
how are they ten years old I do not like it
Honestly idk lol
Thanks, you reminded me that I'm old 💀
I'm still getting over the fact that sun and moon are 7 years old. I remember getting pokemon moon at smyths toys.
I know right? How lol. Possibly even more scary… ORAS is 9 years old…….
I have nostalgia for the game as well, as I was actually the same age as you when it released. I have a much nicer opinion on the Generation than I used to, but I always had fun with the PSS. It was just so, so fun!
Thank you for the fun video as usual girl ^.^
Yeah, and Gen 4 was 16 years ago. I still remember the TV commercials like it happened yesterday 🥲
X and Y was my first ever Pokémon game, I have a lot of memories with that including me getting my first ever shiny I hunted which was a luvdisc for some reason
Hi CandyEvie, I just found your video and I really enjoyed it. You have such a funny and honest way of expressing your feelings about Pokemon X and Y. I agree with you on many points, especially about the roller skates and the rivals. I also love how you appreciate the older generations of Pokemon and how you compare them with the newer ones. You have a new fan here, and I can’t wait to watch all your other videos. Keep up the good work!
Me and my friend nuzlocke ran this game multiple times
And the amount of hate I have for the rivals, especially Tierno, is astronomical.
X and Y were the first games I actively followed from announcement to release. Watching my first LP of it was a treat, and I hope these games will get their love once the Unova remakes have been released.
Also, you missed the cool fact that X and Y were the first core series games to be released simultaneously worldwide.
XY is honestly one of my favorite Pokemon games, only complaint I really have is the amount of content is a bit low. First game with character customization, megas, the graphics are pretty solid too. I feel old hearing it's 10 years now. I remember when I went with my mom to the store and on the got my copy of Pokemon X. Spent an hour hunting for a Pikachu at the first route for I accidently koed the first one I saw in the forest. Many good memories from Kalos.
That meme where the guy turns older
"Pokemon X•Y are ten years old now. Feel old yet?"
AND THEY ARE BACK.
Even being 10 years old, I still play Pokemon Y to this day. I didn't even know it existed 10 years ago. I found it in my basement and I loved playing it
X and Y were my first games. I was 14 and I was so excited. Now I feel so old haha. To this day, it's still my favorite. I really hope we get more stuff. Also, I love the little guy!!! Cat man!!!
I can't believe X and Y are a decade old already! I'm so old! 😭
Existential crisis aside, I love these games and they definitely deserve to be remade! 🥰
Edit: I PREDICTED THE FUTURE!!! 😍❤️
I feel you. I feel like they just came out 2-3 years ago.
randomly found this video 2 months after release and its reminded me of the crazy nostalgia i have for this time in pokemon, i was so young at the time and have never even touched a 3ds in my life because i couldnt afford one back then but this game in particular has still found a way to make an imprint in my mind despite me not having any personal connection to the games which i think perfectly shows the significance of the games and how underrated they really are.
X and Y wasnt my first pokemon game nor my favorite, but it definenetly has a special place in my heart. I love the music and visuals, and I remember the fireworks scene fondly.
My favorite one is Black and White, because I thought the story and pokemon were cool.
I bought this game at launch as teenager, knowing it is already 10 years old is astonishing. It truly makes me feel old.
Not an adult, but Pokémon x was my introduction to now one of my favorite game series ever. I always see people talking bad about x and y but never really stopped to look at the positives, so it’s awesome to see a video pointing out all the things that made it great! Amazing video!
Same
Yo same! I know the game is like objectively flawed or whatever, but it’s so comfy.
The “first 3D game” sort of style is cute, there’s a huge selection of Pokémon, and also like 6 different shiny hunting methods which is probably what got me so into shiny hunting when I was younger
The games are not bad but they lacked one thing, content. What I mean is that the game introduces lots of thing but the gameplay loop is where the issue is. Pokemon X and Y are the games that needed a third game the most and they never saw it. The lack of a Pokemon Z is why so many people think that X and Y are the worst game in the series.
@@TheDeathwhish it was to easy and the rival was cringe , imo thats all
@@TheDeathwhish Maybe also because it followed the gen many consider the best and it was not of the same quality.
Imo X & Y had issues but I would call it the last good Pkmn gen.
Was really not a fan of Sun & Moon, granted I didn't buy the game all over again with Utla editions and after that....
Sword and Shield was really bad and greedy, same with the last gen.
