It's now the twelfth in Japan and XY turned 4 years old.

Share your memories playing them back in 2013.

Shitty "rivals" and messy story aside, they were really comfy games, and the leak days were really funny. Damn even with all it's flaws I miss XY days.

Comfiest games by far, especially those autumn routes, which were great for playing since the game came out that time of year. Some of the best mon designs, and the box legendaries are probably my favorites. A little too easy, but I'm biased in that I did a Nuzlocke run the second playthrough, where we got to have a ton of different options.

Early XY was legitimately the comfiest time to be a Pokémon fan for me.

Damn, same here. The games came out back on my second college year so we were all trading and playing. I remember only 1 friend and I got the Y version so everyone were trading the X exclusives with us. Also we kept checking the leaks on here when we had classes in the computer lab. ORAS was a similar experience but not to the same degree, and SM was nothing like that.

I actually liked X/Y a lot.
3D was nice, the region was comfy, pokemon amie was cute, the mix of old and new pokemon felt very healthy although the genwunner pandering was getting a little bit obnoxious at some points, most of the new pokemon designs were really nice (Meowstic is still by far my most favourite mon) and unlike in gen 5 I was actually able to fill my team with pokemon I liked.

Its a real shame X/Y was tarnished by so many flaws, like the pathetically easy dificulty, a lack of postgame/story and a bunch of other stuff. Overall, the game was feeling rushed and unfinished, even for me.
Pokemon Z could have fixed those issues and made gen 6 fantastic, but we got fucking ORAS instead.
Proper gen 6 remake/remaster when?

I remember not liking any of the starters, which is a bummer. I picked Fennekin the first time though. The stretch between gym 1 and 2 was also surprisingly long.
3D was neat to see, I like Fairy type, and some of the concepts had promise. At first I got really excited and thought I was genuinely going to have a group of rivals to fight against or travel with. But they were all irrelevant except the main one.
Mostly though I think the game suffered from trying too hard to bait nostalgiafags. Snorlax, the free gen 1 starters, Santalune forest just being Viridian forest. They were being bold with some things like 3D, fairy types, mega evolutions, but sticking too hard to some standard callbacks.

Running down to the shops to buy them, running back home all excited, taking fucking forever to find a female Fennekin that wasn't Adamant, and engaging in a fucking huge amount of Pokemon-Amie... It felt fucking wonderful to 16 year old me after getting all hyped about the leaks coming several days beforehand. Definitely much more worth it than SM.

The mix felt healthy because, unlike certain regions that shall go unnamed, you could actually find the new pokemon. They weren't locked behind hordes, or tucked into a 1-5% encounter or anything like that, just enter the grass, and you'll probably find a new pokemon. The huge variety was great for nuzlockes, too.
