While I enjoyed all the new features and things, something was missing… I wanted a game with a harder difficulty and themes more suited to my current tastes.

Pokemon X & Y had become the fasting selling 3DS games on the system with over 10 million copies sold to date! Every Pokemon game almost always had a limited edition portable console to go with all those sales!! This has proven to be one of the best marketing techniques done in gaming. Just like previous versions, you needed both games to collect them all. Pokemon developer Gamefreak had done a massive overhaul and had good critical reviews all around. Compared to previous games you had new social features, beautiful animations, brand new 3D Pokemon models, new Mega evolutions and each pokemon’s personality felt more lifelike than ever. You were put into a true 3D environment and no longer the overview players were accustomed to. With the latest installment on the 3DS, Nintendo released Pokemon X & Y.

Before you knew it you had learned and appreciated the RPG games Japan was so well known for. You had to learn to use different Pokemon types, offensive and defensive strategies, weaknesses and strengthens of attributes, engage in level-up systems and master them, evolutions, use a variety of healing items, 2 vs 2 battles, online battles, trading Pokemon with other players and so much more. While these games may see primitive, they were portable and further planted the success of Pokemon.Įvery new generation of Pokemon games added more Pokemon and added new RPG elements slowly over time.

These games served the purpose of introducing basic RPG elements to the masses. Most fans of this series are probably familiar with red, blue and yellow versions for the Gameboy.
