>>54941317Catching Pokémon via battling is an overrated mechanic. Anyone who’s played for a while will have it down to a science.
Let’s Go and PLA had fun catching mechanics and both should continue.
For casual play, Pokémon X and Y are the best games in the series. An original 3DS and good head phones in a dark room works wonders for immersing yourself into the world of Kalos. The post game story is actually touching and the best in the series. The post game battle factories are challenging with fun player customization like writs. Clothing is the best in the series. The music is great. The friends are great. You can turn EXP share off and skip using mega Evolution to increase difficulty in the main story or go all out with a power fantasy. Breeding is good. You can do skating tricks. The battle restaurants have triple and rotation battles. Shiny odds are better. When combined with ORAS and another 3DS, X and X are forever protected from the Pokédex impacts to the eventual 3DS server shutdown. Fun EV training mini game. Pokémon affection mini game. Sylveon. I could go on, but honestly, I’ve said enough. Best games in the series, 10/10, Five stars, forever replay value.
