Were you hyped 10 years ago? What were your hopes or ideas for these games when we only had the initial teaser?

Yep.

That they would be fantastic games that are better than the DS games. And they succeeded.

I just hoped that it looked good and took the 3D-capabilities of the 3DS to its advantage

That we'd get the natural evolution for the series with the jump to 3D.
I'm still waiting, even if PLA and SV were steps in the right direction, they didn't have every Pokemon.

Yeah I was hyped. Didn't really enjoy it much, gen 6 is still my least favorite gen.

I was hyped. But then the new Exp. Share that they now force on you ruined the game for me and made my team Lv. +90 against all Lv. 60 opponents. Pretty sure the games are still like this except now you’re forced to have exp. shared and be overleveled, making the game so easy and braindead you can just attack to one shot everything.

I remember seeing the character jumping between platforms in one of the gyms and grinding down a railing and thought we'd get an amazing game where I could explore environments to find pokemon. I loved the game anyway, but was disappointed that the trailer was misleading.

Yes, and i really expected the 3D jump to be a buff to the whole franchise.
The only thing they did right was some QoL changes, anything else is just worse than its predecessors or done better by its successors.

I remember the city actually feeling like a city being the definitive moment I forgot all about BW and considered this the followup to DP

Yes. I was overhyped. That's why XY killed my enthusiasm towards future pokemon games.

It was a strange time. Since people born in 2004 can all post on this website now, X and Y would have been maybe their second or third Pokemon games, maybe even their first. Coming off of B2W2 as a person who was old enough at the time to see the critique that there was no Battle Frontier (yes, this was a valid critique at the time since the previous 2 gens established that there would be at the end of the generation at the very least- plus there was no Stadium game for the first time for gen 5), we didn't really know what to expect but were optimistic that the series was going to be amazing on the 3DS with the more powerful hardware. Unfortunately, we were let down enough so that it really did start the trend of a new generation releasing and people saying it was the worst generation ever. I still view it as the worst generation ever, but I cannot deny the fact that it did bring with it some very important staples for the series in terms of multiplayer connectivity.
When the trailer was released? It was standard fare really, just showing off some of the new Pokemon as well as some of the locations in the game. They leaned a bit heavily into this as they wanted to showcase how the games looked. I was rightfully hyped because Colosseum/GoD showed me how good a 3D Pokemon game could be, plus the 3DS had hardware comparable/on-par with the GameCube. I think I was probably the most hyped for Sword and Shield's release for the nu-era, and of all time I was most hyped for HGSS, enough so that I actually asked my parents if they could get me a copy early from Japan despite me having no real way of reading Japanese.

Oh god I hoped for balance and they delivered, fairy type is a bliss that ended the retarded outrage/dracometeor spam, megas made shitmons playable and the VGC started to take off over trannysmogon. XY was the game that made competitive pokemon a serious game

I was hyped seeing everything in 3D for the first time and the player character taking off their hat, and at the time thought Chespin was gonna be the best starter. Also remember all the speculation about the legendaries types before we knew about Fairy Type

It was the last time i was really hyped by a Pokemon games. First 3D entry in the main series and all the previous games were good so i wasn't expecting X/Y to be mediocre. After beating it i never picked it up again, haven't played that game since 2014 and i will never ever replay it.

An X version? A Y version? They'll definitely make a Z version.
I am not going to waste my money, and above all my time, on X and Y instead of Z, just as as I did with Crystal, Emerald, and Platinum.
I WILL NOT repeat that mistake yet again.

>gen over, now here look at Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon!
Fuck I missed the entire gen waiting for Z. Why the fuck didn't they do it? Fuck.
Guess they're done with third versions. They never did Pokemon Grey either. Maybe they actually had a change of heart on the topic after Platinum and Platinum was and will remain the last third version.
>buys pokemon sun
>lololol here is ultra sun! Fuck you!

It's like they actively wanted me to fall out of Pokemon.

I was but not as much as I could have been because I knew the 3DS could definitely better than that DS tier blocky overworld with chibis and 8 directional movement

I wasn't particularly hyped, but I expected great things coming out of golden age of Pokémon: Pt, HGSS, BW and BW2. XY did not deliver, but all could have been solved with an upgraded Z version.
