Aspiring coaches with style, charm and spirit conquers the Kalos region!

After my generation 5 the Pokémon series had not promised particularly (where my Sequel Part S2 / W2 to please a lot better knew), I came Generation 6 as redress before. X and Y bring some innovations with itself which had MMN necessary to the series to lift to a new level.

About the story, I will not write anything great. The starting point should be clear: Aspiring coaches (male or female) starts his adventure to be and to catch all the monsters to pieces by a Pokémon Master. In between you defeat another bunch of gangsters and saves so alongside the world. The story is again somewhat weaker than in S / W & S2 / W2, however, the subject of death is examined in more detail. Overall, it is gratifying to see that the world of Pokémon has grown with the loyal fan base.

Kalos:

The new region, similar to France's, beautifully and gave me better fallen significantly as Unova. Although some routes are impassable something (because you special attacks, VMs need to move forward) - but this is one of the most picturesque game worlds so far the series. There are all sorts of secrets to explore. There is no lack of variety to the players also: a huge city called Illumina City (applied to Paris) offers a lot to discover. There is also a castle and its gardens, a fabulous city on the edge of a large wetland. Snow-covered landscapes or barren desert regions bishin to wide Stränden- Kalos offers so all kinds.

Pokémon:

"Quality, not quantity" it is true this time more. Had Generation 5 then introduced proud 156 new monsters, which were sometimes more, sometimes less successful, Gen6 comes just therefore with the 70 new pocket monsters. Granted: Again, there are some total failures. But every generation has had so far their tops and flops.

Gameplay:

Also well known: You start Pokémon in the wild, trained a core team of six Pokémon in which you can compete against these other wild monsters or against other trainers. Beautiful new feature here is that now brings experience points even catch a wild Pokémon. That may vllt Being only a small detail but it has 6 generations used to insert this!

JRPG-typical one travels from place to spot either on foot, by bike, inline skates (which are altogether unnecessary), by air or by browsing the water. Lately you have some places to move ahead to ride on various Pokémon. Depending on how far you are in the game come Find more information added by the VMs and can thus explore previously untapped areas to Pokémon or hidden items. Here, too, everything as usual.
The inventory is (as always) very clear and can be just as easily manage. Likewise, managing the PC boxes working again super.

Innovations:

Fairy-Type:

Finally since Gen2 a new type! And this has it all. Deadly for Drachenmonster- but also Unlicht- and battle types have a very hard against the new Feenpokémon. Only poison and steel can harm them really. Much in the two editions is designed for this new type. So also one of the Gym Leader who specializes in just this type. This number of fairy monster and attacks is still something very limited. Nevertheless, the introduction was a clever and interesting continuation.

Mega-development:

Almost even more in focus than the new type Fee are the mutations of the mega-development. Well-known favorites get a quasi super Saiyan upgrade, which changes their appearance and values ​​boosts. Depending on Pokémon changed even the type. This effect, however, always stops just a fight. Furthermore, can carry this mutation per fight only one team member. Be triggered by these developments Mega-stones, which one can give his monsters. So far there is only limited Pokémon which can be evolve. The Gen3 remakes were added a few more. Overall, this is also a cool idea. Possibly a little unfair, but nevertheless something new. Above all, some designs very, very creative!

Personalization:

A really great innovation is to me clearly the personalization of one's own character is. One can this new outfit and style. Again gilt- The further you get the more clothes, shoes, accessories and hairstyles you can unlock. You can even set the hair and eye color. Even the color can be the beginning of the game, along with gender, adjust.

Pokémon and Ami Super Training:

Another new feature is that you can make his monster quickly and efficiently particularly strong and loyal. In PA you can hug his monster, feed, rumblödeln with them and play. Anyone interested can also mistreat and annoy his Monster 'or locate their erogenous zones make (no Witz some critters respond to certain pats at selected locations especially' WTF ?!) This is the beginning quite nice 'but annoying after a Weile- especially the games are not very varied. However, many Pokémon developed known with increased affection degree. In this struggle acquired affection evidenced by increasingly accurate clout.

With the Super Training can be patched train targeted status value of monsters. So if you want to breed the ultimate zoom Meisterpokémon comes thereto no longer ignore. However, this is really only of interest to those who wish to participate in championships.

Mass meetings and sky battles:

Okay- were two innovations that I did not like! But not at all! They are both a nuisance. If you're fast times on the road and has no protection at hand, it may happen again now and that a herd of Myraplas or Georocks encountered 'Although these are not usually but Stark hell! If only one enemy with a status debilitating attack angedackelt depends to quickly fixed unless one succeeds in escaping. The situation is similar in sky battles. It namely take part ONLY airworthy Monster to these struggles. If you look at so unprepared can gets involved in a struggle to heaven quickly get a problem. One has for example. Only a gammliges Pidgeotto It may be that the opponent draws a Flygon or Skarmory from his sleeve 'fair to say that you will be asked in advance whether you want to engage in a fight or not heaven.

Improved online mode and O-forces:

Direct model, the online mode is geworden.Tauschen and fighting over the Internet has never been so easy! Through the "miracle Swap" option you can even get hold of with a little luck a few really good specimens. Here you swap a random monster and receives any other randomly for it. Particularly suited to his "boxing guardian" and eventually get rid of out strike something for it.

O forces are short-term positive changes of state which you can send other players. So there are skills which reinforce attacks in battle or it can be faster eggs hatch. The O-forces can train also. Depending on the level, these additional effects amplify and therefore take longer to. Overall, a nice gimmick.

Difficulty:

Means ... At least if you let the EP-divider connected from what you get paid in the course of the story. Leaving it to get all the Pokémon of the team, regardless of whether they were involved in combat or not, credited Experience. Accordingly, the levels going pretty fast by the hand are ergo trainer, Gym Leader and even the Top 4 allsbald no longer a problem. But as I said, only if you can turned the EP-divider.

Backward Compatibility:

For S / W and S2 / W2 only with the paid Pokémon Bank 'Does every self decisive me hath therefore geärgert- no Pokémon Bank for moi.

Graphics and sound:

Which of course is immediately striking is the new 3D graphics style. What can I say 'I CAN THE SERIES Without this not imagine! Beautiful, detailed 3D graphics whether on the upper world or in the Kämpfen- who have never looked better! One aspect of the previously never been more important to me wait in the Pokémon games now I sing the praises of this change!

The soundtrack is also great! Pokémon typically many catchy pieces to hum along. In fact, these games have my favorite city music spawned ever ('Fluxia City' * cough *). The campaign topics rock again!

Rather disappointing falls from the 3D effect ... This is only sporadically used (only in battles or certain areas or cut scenes). And these 3D supported passages are not worth talking about ... Who here a hell of 3D effect of all "Fire Emblem Awakening" is expected or "Bravely Default" are clearly disappointed ...

"Stoppage" (not to be confused with the completion of the Poké-Dex or the never-ending breeding of monsters and fight against other players):

Unfortunately, not very umfangreich- it is indeed a small but particularly Nebenkapitel- much you can not expect more. Since going to the delta episode in OR AS and much more!

Conclusion:

The game offers much more minor changes and subtleties. It's really extensive! The main game is depending on so the game 30-40 hours (depending on whether you have turned on the now hated / loved EP-divider or not). Old hands know that collect it after the story with almost infinite, breed and fight can continue. Every now and then skin Nintendo still one or the other raus event that stretches the game. Ironically, one of my main criticisms of the last generation that can not achieve the goal. In fact, I've gotten my Dex almost completed (I freak '). The series has undergone with X and Y meaningful and great innovations. Some are big and some are more mega decen- but clever! Who is playing for the first time Pokémon here, the new reference title at hand. Where OR and AS have again downed a few minor improvements.

Either way! It was the first time that I got myself two versions of a new generation. I can therefore only express a recommendation here! Just as for the lovingly converted Gen3 remakes Omega and Alpha Saphir Rubin!
