Your thoughts on Pokemon X and Y

Like title suggests, what do you like about Pokemon X and Y and what do you dislike about it.

What rating do you give it out of 10?

Likes: Love how the UI was redone
Battles feel more intense to me personally
Graphics are simply stunning
Great variety of Pokemon at the beginning and throughout
Lumoise city is just breathtaking
Amazing how EXP Share doesn't take away from your pokemon's exp but gives it same amount and distributes it! Makes leveling pokemon so much easier
I can go on and on but I only just beat the 2nd gym and I have yet to find any dislikes. 15hours in and just beat 2nd gym

Rating 10/10

@Genonvia: That's the only one I kind of liked. But still not enough to keep him. I just went for the same Pokemon as in my black and white party. I only replaced Darkrai with Charizard because there's little chance that I will find Darkrai anytime soon. Just looking for a Zorua at the moment.

I like the whole game.

There is a few things I don't like.
The movement controls seems very stiff when using the d-pad (should have found a way to make it all on the circle pad).
I don't like that the 3D in the game.
The 3D light is off majority of the game! When it does turn on and I switch to 3D mode, I see no difference so I keep it off.

My thoughts on Pokemon X and Y are... I'm about to stop checking basil's chat section. There's been at least 30 threads on pokemon since yesterday alone. I know you guys are enjoying the game, but there doesn't need to be a new thread every hour, seriously lol.

I am just wondering why my Braixen is male. I swear it totally looks like a skirt but then again. Gardevoir in the emerald.

Team Flare grunts are boring cuz they use the same grunt Pokemon.

I'm really disappointed in the designs of the starters, their final evolutions that is. I'm happy to see that they focus more on older generations than on the Pokemon they newly added because for once I can say that they're pretty much all crap.

Overal the game is amazing. The gameplay is so extended even though they made training so much easier. Definitely my favourite Pokemon game gameplay wise. Storywise it will always be Crystal.

The game saves sooo fast. The game also has from all regions, not just Kalos.

Only thing that I don't like about it so far is that the camera angles, especially in cities, are sometimes kind of weird and we don't have a button to adjust the camera angle.

North of Cyllage City you'll hear [url=http://robie-chan.deviantart.com/art/Pokemon-X-and-Y-Over-9-000-406771593]this[/url] from the Psychic you beat. I didn't expect stuff like that to appear in a Pokemon game.
Besides that, there's still Youngster Joey (appearing since GSC) early on. Another Youngster you meet along the way also remarks about how shorts are comfy and easy to wear. Glad those are still there.

I've mainly been trying to catch every single Pokemon in each route...but it's not turning out that well. Trying to find a Venipede still...

So far...I'd count Pokemon X/Y among my top 3 Pokemon games.

Forgot to post a general question for everyone but, for those of you who have both X and Y have you gotten all 3 starter pokemon yet? From Gen 1 and 6. Im about to get on Y speed through the first gym and get Fennekin and Squirtle so I can trade them over to X and restart Y and enjoy it the right way.

Hope that made sense. ><

So far, I got surprised when I found out Steel types no longer resist Dark or Ghost the hard way. I like how Psybeam (and apparently Hyper Beam too) have their "classic" sound effects. The new Exp. Share is weird, working similar to Gen 1's Exp. All.
