First Look: Pokemon X and Y
Since its release in October, we have finally gotten our hands on a copy of Nintendo’s latest, Pokemon X and Y 3DS. Both copies of the game are both similar in every aspect but the only difference are the Pokemon you can get in their individual versions.
Let’s start off with what’s different from their older generations of Pokemon. Pokemon X & Y offers an amazing graphic improvement compared to the previous Black 2 and White2. Like most 3DS games, Pokemon X and Y are set in a 3D dimensional world to walk around and the camera tilts as you enter different areas.
The third dimention
The in-depth 3D effects of the game during Pokemon Battles are another highlight to look out for as you play the game. You really need to give time to get used to the 3D effect before actually seeing the depth of the screen. Battle sequences are also improved as the movements are much smoother than what they did in Black 2 and White 2.Being different
Not only that, unlike the previous generations of Pokemon games, Pokemon X and Y allows you to choose your own avatar after the gender selection at the beginning. Rather than sticking to only 1, you are allowed to look different from what your friends choose if they too own the game.Multiplayers
Due to popular demand, Pokemon X and Y have also successfully made their game into an MMO when the device is running on internet. It has allowed more interaction amongst players in the game. The interaction amongst players with NPC (Non-Playable-Characters) is also improved as the NPC will try conversations that will make you feel like you’re actually conversing with them (unlike previous generations, where the NPC treats you like a dumbo).A Challenge
Also, a change has been made as your rival this time would be choosing a Pokemon that is to your advantage. Being a fan of water starters, I have chosen Froakie as my starter. In previous generations, your rival would most probably choose a starter of your weakness. However, in this generation, your rival chooses a starter that is to you advantage. (For my case, my rival chose Fennekin...)Though we’re only 30 minutes into the game and I’ve yet to face a single gym yet but there is definitely a lot more to expect on Pokemon X & Y. This has definitely worth my money.
ps. In celebration of the release of a new generation of Pokemons, a promotion is running to get a free Torchic when you purchase a Pokemon X or Y anytime before January 14th.

New Pokemons X/Y! Froakie, Chespin and Fennekin.
In the first official presentation by Nintendo this year, the focus was on their all-time favourites, ever-so-cute, very legendary Pokemons. I've got to be honest that the last I played was Pokemon Black and White, and since they decided to milk the franchise with Black 2 and White 2, i honestly thought that was it for our childhood-favourites.
But fortunately, they preserved. With the new Pokemon X/Y, the first of titles which are not related to anything in the colour palette, you can see that Nintendo has brought quite some major changes to the franchise, good changes.
From its launch trailer (below), Pokemon X/Y will be a little more 'active' featuring a 3D, stereoscopic world with some redesigned environment and even adding dynamic battles. First impressions of Pokemons looking like they are actually battling is, to say the least, amazing.
And as always, keeping with the tradition, Pokemon X/Y will similarly start with 3 types of Pokemons. Froakie the water type, Chespin the leaf type and Fennekin the fire type. And oh my do they all look extremely cute, and cuddly! I'm personally going for Froakie though, what about you?
So now you must be wondering when the Pokemon X and Y be available, and here's one major change in how Nintendo will start publishing them. In past titles, a launch in Japan and North America (any other country in the world) has always been separated, by months and even years.
But for the first time ever, Pokemon X and Y will be launching globally, on the same day, somewhere in October. This news specifically came about as Nintendo also announced that Pokemon X/Y will be capable of connecting every players around the world together to trade, battle, or whatever they have now. Unfortunately it will only be available on Nintendo's 3DS and not the Wii U.
