The main series Pokemon arrives at last, Nintendo 3DS, and it does also through the front door. The new Pokemon X and Y Reiew come in a few days to worldwide and the expectation is sky high.
Pokemon X and Y Review will provide you with all you need to complete the game. The expectation of its output is very high: there are many novelties to discover in a few games that involve a revolution in the series in several ways. GameFreak and Nintendo have tried to go slowly revealing details, like the new Pokemon or Poké Recreation. Prepared to discover a new region of Pokémon so far never explored by anyone, not even in Japan. Are you ready?
If you are a fan of Pokémon, you’ve surely asked again and again: why Pokémon is so simple with these charts? Many thought that it was inherent in the series, the sprites and Eagle Vision never abandon us, while others looked like amazing graphics RPG. In a way, it seemed that it was natural, that Pokémon is a series so special, so different, that the graphics was a minor appearance. With Pokémon X and Y this changes : Pokémon could not afford to continue with a 2D graphics on a console like the Nintendo 3DS, whose purpose is precisely to look real 3D graphics. And is that the fighting Pokémon X and Y look spectacular graphics with a Pokémon designed cell-shading but respectful style of Ken Sugimori, with movements and effects manicured battles will ask yourself if you really want to disable the animations battle this time (although we have noticed a brief slowing of battle situations with many Pokémon or effects in combat).
Most Kalos scenarios, but are designed in perfect 3D, do not exploit the stereoscopic 3D feature of the console. It seems that GameFreak has concluded that the 3D should explode in moments like fighting, special animations or caves, making it stand out at the time. The decision was explained Junichi Masuda, executive producer of the games, arguing that the waiver of 3D allowed them to focus on the beauty of Kalos areas, and also save battery. The coincidence in the departure of the games with the new Nintendo 2DS, which renounces this same function to generate stereoscopic graphics, no accident.
To this is added the effect of global output of these games. Until now, the Pokémon games have always come and fully analyzed from Japan, with comprehensive listings of new Pokémon, moves, skills, play areas, etc.. This time is different: you will make your way by Kalos unpublished region and pending to be explored for the first time as if you were in a jungle explorer. And not GameFreak makes it easy: if you want to discover new Pokémon must sneak around a long time fighting wild Pokémon, Pokémon because most are already known from other regions.
As if that were not enough, the Kalos region is enormous : we face the possibly larger region known for the moment. Each zone has little visual details and you will game very attentive to everything that happens. So great, that at some point between the first and the second medal where you really do not know how much it takes to get to the next town.
The adventure in Pokémon X and Y is the dynamic that has become so stable and known Pokémon series: Your mission is to defeat the eight leaders of Gym while you are completing the Pokédex Kalos region.
What sets this adventure of the above is a less individualistic of it: this time you share the adventure with your four friends , Serena (or Kalm), Beni, Trovato and Xana, with whom you share a special mission that will Professor Cypress entrusted Luminalia Town: investigating the secrets of megaevolución.
The news is not limited to the type Fairy: some movements now have double type (eg, Fighting and Flying), there have been numerous movements like Grass Field (recovers PS) and have been granted new immunities to certain types (Electric-type Pokémon are immune to paralysis, for example). We even have new ways to fight: the dogfights limited to flying or levitating Pokémon so only a few can play them while hordes of wild Pokémon , immerse you in authentic stampedes Pokémon you earn a lot of experience, but You can do something repetitive if you have proper movements.
The way to get along with your Pokémon also suffers a major change. The Pokémon, so far showed no special closeness or liking to her trainer, now can become really affectionate with him through the Poké Recreation. This feature takes advantage of the touch screen and the Nintendo 3DS camera, similar to Nintendogs, Pokémon to play with mini-games, imitating the gestures of your Pokémon or Pokélitos feed . In fact, if you exhaust your minigames based Pokémon and then feed it Pokélitos repeatedly increases their level of affection.
And now friendship is essential , since your Pokémon benefits from it in battle, for example by gaining more experience or more critical hits, and will let you know in combat turning to you or taking small jumps for joy. The care that is given to Poké Recreation shows in details as you can freeze your hand if you touch where you should not … or worse, annoy your Pokémon, and each Pokémon has different areas where he likes to be petted for you to find. What that fails to work very well is to imitate the gestures of Pokémon, for which you need to have good light and Nintendo 3DS camera you can identify.
For competitive players, plus new Pokémon moves and abilities, the other big news is the Supertraining , a system that can easily train stress points of Pokémon by football-based minigames. If you do well, you can move more quickly this type of training and save time, but you can do a little repetitive.
Another area essential in any 3DS game worth its salt is the connectivity, and this Pokémon X and Y are not far behind. The functions already known as the GTS system for Pokémon from any part of the world, or the ability to play online Pokémon battles are added to StreetPass features expected with the new Player Search System (PSS).
Although Pokémon X and Y have some minor defects that worsen a little gaming experience like no stereoscopic 3D mapping, Game Freak has made the main series Pokémon of a great leap forward, responding to the expectations of the fans of Pokémon lifetime of playing, now a 3D Pokemon game with graphics at the level of this series.
