In the year 2013 the Earth was astonished but was also repulsive. This was the year Pokemon would set out to make a all new adventure to go along with an all new look and overall Pokemon experience. Of course some disliked this idea and became what is known as a hater on the Internet and would start a petition. Of course this wouldn't work because Nintendo would then make a remake of Pokemon Sapphire and Pokemon Ruby with a all new revamped look that was introduced in Pokemon Y. With all seriousness lets start this review with haste!

Graphics:
Pokemon Y was the first Pokemon game to feature 3D sprites in the entire Pokemon series which would change the gameplay entirely. Of course a majority of the former fans of the Pokemon series still dislike this game because of this. Pokemon Y is also the first Pokemon game where you could buy clothes or accessories for your character to wear. What is next Nintendo? Will we be able to dress our Pokemon up in costumes? I guess we will have to wait and see! Overall Pokemon Y may have done something new for once to the entire series it still doesn't change the fact its graphics are still behind several other RPGs on the console.

Sounds:
As you would've guessed if Pokemon was gonna take a big step it might as well produce a great soundtrack in order to go along with the whole new revamped Pokemon style and it certainly doesn't disappoint. Some nostalgic songs were in this game such as the title screen which makes you eagerly want to play the game or the intense battle music in the game. Of course this game also features Pokemon cries in the game which have never sounded so good before. Overall Pokemon Y's sound is still great because the songs go along with each scenario in the game to make the game even more satisfying.

Addictiveness:
Although Pokemon Y introduces a new region with new Pokemon it brought back some other Pokemon like Pikachu for example to make sure this time you can catch them all. With that in mind this game is basically so addicting you will find it irresistible to stop playing because you will be so caught up in catching, battling, and training Pokemon in the game. There's more to this game than the main story that's included with the game. Will you catch them all?

Story:
It really is just another thwart the antagonist plot really which is the exact same as the previous games and seeing that it went basically nowhere with the exception of adding new goons that go by the name of team Flare that basically pretty much sums up the plot entirely which must I admit is far less exciting than saving a Princess. So overall I guess Pokemon Y's story follows the exact plot formula that former Pokemon games followed which was really disappointing. Fortunately a common theme occurs throughout the series and that's to become the best Pokemon trainer which slightly adds to the storyline's appeal.

Depth:
Pokemon Y has a whole new region just for you to explore and while at it you can train, battle, or catch Pokemon. There's also gym leaders that you can challenge and additionally there's a main story to go along with a post game story which will seem familiar at first to keep you busy. Pokemon Y also introduces Mega Evolutions which is basically a final evolution however only so many Pokemon can Mega Evolve and they must have a certain item equipped beforehand. Competitive play through Nintendo's online services is also very addicting as well and I never had any problems disconnecting during battles which made it so much more exciting.

Difficulty:
This varies of course because of how much you prepare for a battle and the knowledge of Pokemon in general. People new to the series are going to have a harder time playing this game compared to someone who has been playing Pokemon games all their life that's just how it is so I'm going to have to rate this as a unfairly balanced game.

Now here are the final results
Graphics: 9
Sound: 10
Addictiveness: 10
Story: 6
Depth: 10
Difficulty: 6

Overall: 9.0

Overall Pokemon Y does a nice job delivering a all new breathtaking Pokemon experience that goes along with a nostalgic soundtrack that will be sure to keep you satisfied. The game also keeps you busy as you explore Kalos and find out the mystery behind Mega evolutions. Not only that but Pokemon Y does a great job of unfairly balancing competitive online battles which have certainly improved since they were first introduced in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl for the Nintendo DS. Honestly I preferred the post game story over the main game story because I saw a familiar face. In the end Pokemon Y is for people new to the Pokemon series or for people that haven't played a Pokemon game since Pokemon Red or Blue no matter the case I assure you this game will give you a all new Pokemon experience that you won't even be able to recognize. Thanks to this Pokemon Y deserves the title as successor to Pokemon generations 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

So thanks for taking the time to read my review I hoped you enjoyed it as much as you will enjoy this game and provide me feedback that I would appreciate as long as you don't mind.

Have a great day!
