Ok guys, I need you.

Me and my gf were bored so we decided to buy Pokemon X&Y (pic related). We haven't played any pokemon game since generation 1 so we're pretty green now. Which should I choose? Why?

TL;DR which is better?

inb4 bait: I'm genuinely asking

depends really..

do you prefer, lgbtqxyz deer? then choose x
or death bird? choose y

other than that, they're basically the same game
ofc, minus a few pokemon exclusives..which you can find here

The only difference between the games are the Pokémon you can catch and a small bit of the story.

Look over there and look at which Pokémon you prefer to have in your game.

Y for the chromosome and more masculine Legendary, if you're a not which I'm assuming you are.

If you're a girl then post lesbo nudes now!

I read somewhere that X has better legendaries (is it the right term?). Is it true or BS?

Competitive-wise, yes. But in-game it doesn't really matter.
Oh, and items (read: Megastones) are different in the games too. Some Megastones can only be obtained in one version.

Quick question, OP. You mentioned that you haven't played since gen 1. So what motivated you to play again? Was is GO, all this 20th anniversary marketing, the new games debuting later this year, or just a whim?

Also, neat little factoid. But you can obtain every* pokemon if you own all 4 gen 6 games (X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire) in case you wanna complete the pokedex

*you can't get the mythics like Arcues, Mew, Celebi etc naturally in game

Disregard the guys who talk shit. Always nice to have returning fans.

Now, the only real difference is a few megastones and the legendary. Just pick what legendary you think look the coolest, because the megastones are after the mainstory and you can just trade with eachother then.

Also you picked a great game OP, there's a ton of fanservice for Gen 1 players in XY

It's a mix of things.

I can't really say it wasn't because of GO. A lot of coworkers of mine are playing it. I tried it for 20 minutes and found it boring. Also, recently I was chatting with my gf about games and we wanted something long lasting to play and share (I play A FUCKING LOT of games, she plays casually, mostly zelda titles)... you can see where this is going. We have played the first gen A LOT at the time so we thought "it wasn't that bad, let's give it another try".

I couldn't care less about the anniversary thing and marketing.

I can't really say I'm not a normie, sorry guys.

>>27078286
I'm sort of sorry about that :(

>>27078315

The problem is that Game Freak is not a smart company, they often pander to the lowest common denominator. OP is obviously not part of that group because he seems to have done a small amount of research.
If GO brings in this many new players, expect the next mainline Pokémon game to be freemium shovelware.

OP again. I'm not excluding this honestly. Will see how much this will engage me. Are the other titles worth it? I see you haven't mentioned black/white 1&2, is there a reason?

How good is XY from a newbie/normalfag perspective? I know it gets shitposted to death here, but they're honestly some of the easiest games, and I've heard stories about kids getting bored of them. Maybe OP should emulate something like HGSS to start with instead?

Have your special lady choose the box art she likes more then you take the other one.

The games are the same but slightly different. Do not worry about the "better" legendary. You can have anyone trade you an extra legendary of the opposite cart for you to use.

If you are mega-casuals, then the X legendary has an advantage over the Y

Haha, now that you mention it, she wanted the blue (X) one because she dislikes the red color. The only thing is that I was prone to choose X too because when I was 12 I really enjoyed and have good memories of Pokemon blue.

I'm probably going to be nice and leave her what she wants and get Y :)

I would definitely suggest them, myself. Black/White has a pretty decent story for Pokemon, and to me it really felt brand new since they don't have any of the old Pokemon in it, it's just all new all the time.

Black 2/White 2 adds in old Pokemon, which I didn't really like but that's just personal preference, and it has a lot more interesting stuff to dick around with, like a movie studio where you make little short films. More importantly, there's the Pokemon World Tournament, where you can fight all the gym leaders and it's my favorite thing in all these games.

Dont fret the version. It's all equal but a choice of preference. Like choosing the starters back in red/blue. Just enjoy it.

>>27078373
XY is great from a casual perspective. HGSS is best if you want to enjoy the best/most solid pokemon game made. ORAS is shit and I would not recommend getting it now before SM comes out.

OP here. Very n00b question: let's say I have all generations for ds and have enough time (lol) to play them. Is there a way to have every pokemon with only one 3ds? I mean, is there a way to trade pokemons with old generations?

Yes, but from 3-4 and 4-5 you need either a second 3DS or a regular DS.

After XY buy all the others (choose Y)

The only true answer is buy them all, play them all and enjoy them all without prejudiced for the games they are.

I believe so, honestly I don't actually worry about catching them all, but with the originals having come out on the 3ds shop, BW/BW2, X/Y, and ORAS I don't see why not. You can toss them all into another app thing on the 3ds called the Pokemon Bank and have them all together.

Cool.

Ok last question, after that I'm probably going to disappear and starting to play Y.

Since we have XY now, and beside SM that are coming out in the few months, what are the other titles you consider a "must have"?

If you have one copy of X, Omega Ruby and the Pokemon Bank you can basically have 80% of the pokedex with only one 3ds.
At that point you can trade what is missing by using the GTS online
