User blog:Jasket/Pokemon X and Pokemon Y - Pros and Cons

I thought it would be neat to do this due to all of the debate there is over the games.

Pros
+ Very neat 3D Graphics, with the overworld looking good and the battle sprites looking even better.

+ The new Kalos region is very impressive.

+ The OST is good.

+ The plot is very impressive, and Team Flare isn't a bad villian team. (Though many would disagree with me on this.)

+ The PSS is an excellent new way of online interaction. It works fantastically.

+ Pokemon-Amie and Super Training are cool.

+ Mega Evolution is a great new concept that brings a new level of gameplay to the table.

+ The new Fairy type does a great job of balancing out the type chart.

+ Certain new visual effects, such as idle animations and leaning down when talking to dem short people.

+ Knock Off.

Cons
- Somewhat lackluster on the difficulty, although I did have some trouble spots.

- The Exp. Share is changed to a key item that gives experience to ALL Pokemon in your party. This tends to make your Pokemon overleveled. The Exp. Share can be turned off, but the Exp. Share from the previous games is still miles better.

- The PokeMart is too generous. You can get Hyper Potions after 2 badges, Full Heals after 3 badges, and after 5 badges you have everything. That means Full Restores after 5 badges.

- The design of the Team Flare grunts, and the fact that they're named Team Flare. Granted that's a clever pun but there's not a lot of fire involved with the team, not to mention that we already had Team Magma.

- The Elite Four don't get stronger when you rechallenge them. This is a shame too, since it had a lot of potential due to Mega Evolutions now being a thing.

- Not all of the Gym Leaders give you TMs for brand new moves.

- Not a lot of aftergame compared to all of the previous games.

- Some questionable moves have been nerfed, including classics such as Blizzard/Fire Blast/Thunder and Hydro Pump.

- Only 72 new Pokemon. Granted, if you combine those 72 new Pokemon with the Mega Evolutions that both XY and ORAS introduced then Gen 6 technically introduced more Pokemon than Gen 2 did, but still, that's only technically and I'd much rather had at least a tad more new Pokemon. Also the amount of new Ground types, Ice types, and Bug types.

- And as a result of the small amount of new Pokemon, there is a HUGE ASS AMOUNT of Pokemon that were introduced in previous gens available before beating the Champion. Like, WAYYYYYY too many from previous gens.

- There is no proper Move Tutor.
