Your Pokemon X/Y Thoughts (SPOILERS ALERT)

[CosmykTheDolfyn]

Not pokemon, but all I can think of every time I see this title...

[RepentantSky]

I whole heartily agree with you. For me, it like the Mario games. We have seen "great" plots with Mario Galaxy but go back to the boring plots after that and try to make up for great characters like Rosalina with a comic relief purple Luma.

I have yet to play Black and White and the Sequel, but I have heard about Team Plasma's plan in the first one (I have not seen or heard anything about Black and White 2). It's nice to have someone that sounds good and makes you want to route for them. If the twist is what I think it is (The leader being the only really evil one and the followers really believe the PETA plot) that's a good twist, but I think it would be better if he was doing it because he thought he was doing good. That would make you think a little more on who is really right and who is wrong or if there really is a right. Pokemon is good at having very suttle ideas in the back ground. You can play the game as a kid and not see the creepy ideas in play but they are there to make they a little better. This is what makes it one of my favorite series to play, even though I do not play the newer games.

If what I have read about the newer games is true, I want Team Flare to be controlled by Yveltal, since he is the embodiment Evil and Team Flare loves money. That's the best I can think of without following the games as much as you guys. I'm sure that Game Freak can think of a better plot.

You ought to give them a shot. I honestly think they are the best main series pokemon games we have so far.

What? Has Z been confirmed or something? Because if not, I'll call that "legendary" a hoax.

I haven't seen anything confirming Z.

So I thought. DA and Reddit I could hardly call legit sources.

The way gen 5 did it though, at least in the original black and white, actually made me care about the team and it's endeavors as opposed to previous games where beating the enemy team was just a means of training to be able to beat gyms and eventually the elite 4. Black and White 2 did that to some extent but not as much as the first ones. Those two games though have changed my expectations in a way that am hoping the team is good plot device and has characters I actually care about like N. In some way or another, the story should at least be on par with the previous games, else this generation, at least for me will fall a bit short.

Whenever they start making a plot, it comes off as stupid.

Black/White
Team Plasma or whatever: We hate Pokemon being used for fights.
Now let's send a clear message and fight...


....with our Pokemon!

Do you now realize why I call them Team PETA?

But your right, the only time they made a really good plot is when there wasn't any and they had you make theories about it. Gary's Raticate, anyone? Pokemon really dosn't have a plot and does not need it. Black and White's plot is still kinda cool though, even with the dumbness attached to the team.

An ironic post considering PETA made their own pokemon game for gen 5.

What I'm interested in is that Gourgiest and it's pre-evo come in 4 different sizes. I wonder if there will some advantage to that.

IGN's review is up, and as unreliable sellouts as they are, at least it shows off some gameplay and a few cool new features.

Link.

[RepentantSky]

I was just watching the review to see if it showed off anything new. I like how it will allow you heal a pokemon before you send it out. It's a nice touch.

Yeah, I'm really wondering how that's going to effect competitive battling.
