I've been since the series first came here and enjoyed every minute of every Pokemon game I'ved played. Heck, Pokemon was the main reason I wanted a Gameboy in the first place, and I always buy a Nintendo handheld just for Pokemon. Yes I even got a 3DS at launch because I knew there would be a 3DS Pokemon game at some point and I was right. Sure I spent 250 bucks on it but Pokemon X and Y just justifies that purchase for me. I love the new games, I love every new thing about them.
And having the 3D effect does make the battles lag a tad bit but I do love seeing the attacks in 3D. I love the new Fairy type Pokemon, some older Pokemon even has a dual type as Fairy now, meaning that you must think of new strategies now, but nothing like experimentation. That and the new Mega Evolutions makes you think twice on battles because those Pokemon are really strong. Going unprepared is a bad idea, like what happened to me yesterday, a passerby trainer challenged me and I accepted but we always kept getting disconnected like two times and like they say third times the charm and worked.
Well I was in for a world of hurt because this guy had a pretty good team of pokemon and I was using my in-game team so I knew I wouldn't stand a chance. Plus I went up a Mega Gengar and I had 2 more Pokemon left, so did my opponent but my Pokemon were damaged, I had Mega Charizard Y but my opponent used Sanstorm previously which cancelled my Drought ability, I had to switch to Delphox to take a hit si I can send Charizard back to use Drought, I think he didn't count on me having Shadow Claw and took out Mega Gengar in 2 hits, but not without being poisoned by Toxic and Charizard had less than HP left. My opponents final Pokemon was Chestnaught and he used a guard move in hopes of the poison to take down my Charizard, well it survived the poison, I managed to get the first hit this time and used Flamethrower, it got stronger with Drought, plus it was a STAB move, and the fat it gave a super-effective hit and knocked my opponents Chestnaught out in 1 hit and won. I couldn't believe it. I felt really proud. It's moments like those that make Pokemon special to me. To me, Pokemon will always be my favorite rpg and to me it will always be the best rpg series ever. I'll always continue to play the games as long as they keep making them, I can't wait for the Pokemon Transfer thing this December, I don't mind paying the fee, because I plan on completing the Pokedex like I did three times in the 4th gen. It's definitely my Game of the Year, heck it could be my most favorite 3DS game ever, atleast till the next one.
