It's time to Mega Evolve this thread.
Pokemon X and Pokemon Y
Game Summary:
Welcome to the Kalos region! The sixth generation of Pokemon has arrived on the 3DS. For the first time in a mainline game, you can explore a 3D world and see all of your favorite Pokemon in 3D. Pokemon X and Y have many of the standard bells and whistles of your average Pokemon game, but new to this game is Mega Evolution. Once your battle, you can transform one of your Pokemon into a new form! This Mega Evolved Pokemon will have stronger stats, different abilities and even a new typing. Not every Pokemon has this fantastic ability, so you'll need to pick your team carefully. X and Y also introduced a brand new typing, the Fairy type! This type is strong against dragon, fighting and dark types, while being weak to steel and poison types. This game also greatly expanded multiplayer functions and modes. With Wi-Fi becoming more common, reliable and affordable, Pokemon X and Y pushed new ways to communicate, trade, battle and play with others from around the world.
The narrative of X and Y stars a brand new trainer on their journey around the Kalos region. They meet up with friends and decide to meet up several times around their journeys. But something sinister lurks in the shadows. The flamboyant Team Flare plans to cause trouble around the Kalos region and eventually destroy the entire world by using a Legendary Pokemon. Can you save this Pokemon and stop Team Flare's plans?

I got Pokemon X and not Y because Xerneas looks absolutely majestic (and I like blue). Pokemon X and Y was initially a very exciting game for me. Mega Evolution got me hooked and I was amazed by all of the older Pokemon getting new forms. I still think it remains the best generational gimmicks with only Terastallizing only getting close. As a game, even back then, I thought it was a pretty standard and serviceable Pokemon game, but not super memorable. I never really learned the names of some important trainers and locations to this day. It's really easy but I've since adapted my playing style to go along with the EXP share giving EXP to everyone all the time. I loved the addition of Mega Venusaur and I got to try new favorites like Chesnaugt and Aegislash.
I actually replayed X not too long ago. It's much better than I remembered. I found myself enjoying it a lot more than I had before. I think I just let myself enjoy the characters and the locations. I tried a lot of the newer Pokemon. I found a lot of new favorites like Greninja, Tyrantrum, Pyroar and Florges. I do think people should give the game another shot. I'd recommend it to all Pokemon fans.
I'm really excited for Legends Z-A.
