I 100%'d Pokemon X & Y 10 Years Later, Here's What Happened

With Pokemon X and Y being a whole decade old (yeah, i know) I wanted to see if my memory served me right. Are they good games, or bad games? With Pokemon Legends ZA right around the corner I put my research hat on and literally did everything.. so enjoy the ride! i'd love to make more like this in future...

Ah, X and Y. I remember when it came out and spending hours playing it and shiny hunting friend zones. Good times

[@Gentledude.]

such a wholesome era

[@Butterfly_77_Butterfly]

My first game was moon. I’ve never played any Pokemon games that came out before because my 3ds broke, but I really want to try some of the older games :)

[@mastersenna11]

@@Gentledude. Pokemon is a wholesome era. I still thank and curse the boy for getting me into it just before Red and Blue came to the US lol. Nintendo owns my soul thanks to him

[@sabrinasmith4793]

Same here, X and Y was the first game I started keeping up with all of the news for like the trailers and stuff, I have way too many hours in my copy of X. It was also the first game I tried shiny hunting in, although I didn't get anything for a while, my first shiny was a random Quagsire in SoulSilver and my first hunted for shiny was a Eevee turned Sylveon in Alpha Sapphire, but I got a Carvanha from chain fishing and a Charmeleon from a friend safari. I also got some of the event Pokémon in there, I will never forgive myself for missing Diancie despite having the code, I couldn't get to a place with wifi in time (I didn't have any yet so I always went to the library) so the code expired, I did get Hoopa and Volcanion though

[@Lokear]

​@@Butterfly_77_Butterfly If you get a chance, I absolutely recommend Platinum and the Unova games. (Specifically White 1 and 2. Better box legends and the only good Opelucid City lol)

[@Thegamergabe4.0]

XY is a special game for me; for it introduced my favorite Pokémon, Malamar, and introduced my least favorite evil team, but third favorite bad team leader… it’s a weird moment. It’s been a good game, but I will say, overall, 7/10- not enough water. Love you Gentledude! Stay you and stay true! Glad to see more kinds of content here, a warm welcome to be sure.

[@Gentledude.]

heck yeah! got lots of interesting concepts brewing dont you worry

[@CatLeone2003]

No lie, the "not enough water" is a fair point. Wish we got a whole water area to explore, that'd be fun.

[@Pikarose150]

My brother dropped off playing Pokemon at this generation, he caught Yveltal, named it "MLG", dropped the game and barely played Pokemon Moon because our mom didn't know he dropped Pokemon then. I transferred all his mons to Pokemon Bank and I still have them, the next best mon besides Yveltal was a shiny Vivillon named "Sparkle". X/Y are special to me as the last Pokemon game we played together. He still likes Pokemon and we talk about it, he just doesn't play the games anymore.

[@nept2ned]

thats the best nickname ever

[@drewsmith8471]

That sounds like a great memory! X & Y are also special to me because of the time I spent playing it with my brother

[@pabloddux]

"I'm making sure to not overlevel" "the gyms are pretty soft" and he's with a lvl 40 talonflame in a lvl 30ish grass gym💀

[@chrisbook7938]

"Making sure not to overlevel *too much*" he's at pretty similar levels to what a casual player would be if they were catching even just a decent amount of pokemon for the dex, or if they made sure to battle every trainer along the way. Purposefully being under or at the level of the gym leaders is usually a nuzlocke rule, and this run definitely is not one. He's just trying to experience the game like a completionist might have back when the game came out

[@autumnphillips151]

⁠​⁠@@chrisbook7938 But most people wouldn’t do that. Most people aren’t “completionists”, they just want to beat the game. I’m playing through XY for the fourth time now, and I love that these are maybe the only Pokémon games that don’t require grinding against wild Pokémon.

[@testerwulf3357]

@@autumnphillips151 He's doing a 100% run. So he's playing how a completionist would. If you don't want to overlevel whilst 100% the game you'll have to swap between 2-3 teams..just saying.

[@_unun_]

nah bro best vibe is 100% gen 7

[@Megan_The_Penguin1988]

I don't think X and Y are bad games. To me, they just feel rushed and incomplete. It feels like something is missing and it just feels unsatisfying.

[@blackdot105]

Been a problem, till this day

[@wooperman6960]

I try to remember they are comparable to diamond and pearl and pokemon z was gonna be a thing until it was cut. So like its a great first two games and idk if this is a hot take but man i think xy > dp but platnium beats all

[@Dragoncurse4]

What was missing was the Z.

[@kintsuki99]

If XY is rushed and incomplete what is Scarlet and Violet?

[@Megan_The_Penguin1988]

@@kintsuki99 I'm talking about the storyline in X and Y. Even though performance make the games almost unplayable at times, Scarlet and Violet had good storylines and answered questions. Even though a lot of the answers were hidden behind a pay wall. And still forcing online play to evolve certain Pokemon and shiny locking Pokemon ticks me off.

[@SargeWolf010]

The sheer amount of side content in XY was nuts even things you'd wouldn't expect... like learning all roller skate tricks, Completing every Restaurant challenge, buying every piece of clothing, Growing every berry to get a Kee Berry, getting Duke/Dutchess ranking in Battle Chateau, Defeating the Battle ladies in post game, and much more 😂

[@Gentledude.]

heck yeah man, i appreciate the love!

[@nickywal]

I replayed this for the first time since it came out last year and honestly I had a lot of fun. I was actually shocked that Shauna was the only useful rival/companion. If you think gym 1-2 is long like this, you should see it in the professor oak challenges. Plus mega flower frog, any game is better with a venusaur in it. Also the Valerie battle was like me against Opal, she did say to bring pink, gmax venusaur was the best I had

[@Gentledude.]

i do love me some venusaur

​@@Gentledude.I started with blue, he's never let me down. But this game brought in some great pokemon, aurorus wrecks so much

[@Gentledude.]

honestly the post game was so much better than i ever imagined.. the story was crazzzyyyy

[@Alastordadeer]

Yeah, same with oras. Gen 4 (carried asf by platinum and hgss), 5 and 6 were the best in the series. 7 was still pretty great (good dex, nice new additions to the franchise and good side characters like Lillie, Kukui and Gladion.) Then it just went down hill

Pokemon Y was the first Pokemon game I actual owned because up until that point I was playing my sister's copy of Pearl or Soul Silver ( I did own Pokemon White though but I can't really remember anything about it or what my team was ), until playing Y I was only ever interested in the anime and enjoying the look of the cards. Though I remember when I was younger my mom had gotten me Y because she saw I had a interest in the series so I got it along with a 3Ds and I remember getting HOOKED by the look of the region and seeing the Pokemon in 3D It was also the same region my favorite Pokemon Sylveon comes from! Even though some people are mixed on the game or it's story It will always be one of my favorite Pokemon games and I can't wait to play Z-A when it drops

0:00 Starting a video with that line HURTS. I remember going and buying a 2DS with Pokemon X on release with one of the guidebooks, and to this day, is one of the few Pokemon games that I haven't gone back to play to completion. I guess I just remember all of the bad and almost none of the good - I much prefer Gen V and IV to any of the Gen VI-VIII games, but that's probably due to nostalgia and having less to do when I was younger vs when I got into Gen VI and VII; I didn't even get into Gen VIII until Mid 2020, and by then I was so caught up in working that I rarely played it, and it took me more than a year to complete. It amazes me sometimes how fresh and challenging some of the older games can be with just a couple of self-implemented rules, but in order to really challenge yourself in the post Gen V era, you need much more to make it difficult. Thanks for reading this long comment, sorry for the time that I wasted.

[@TryinBin8889]

I remember EXACTLY how I felt when I first played X and Y and EXACTLY where and what I was doing when I played it. One thought stuck with me: "This doesn't feel like a pokemon game this feels like a nintendo game." For me, this was the first generation that felt too commercialized and overly sanitary. There was something about the characters, the pokemon, the story, that was more Mario or Animal-crossings-esque especially when compared with Pokemon BW or DP. I personally really enjoyed X&Y, and replayed it a few times after, but definitely not as much as I replayed the previous generations. It felt more plastic than the generations before it. I WILL SAY THOUGH, X AND Y HAD THE BEST ANIME HANDS DOWN, I WAS SO EXCITED TO WATCH THAT ON A SATURDAY MORNING EACH WEEK

[@lizarrrrrd795]

28:38 when I got to this point in my most recent playthrough, I forgot I wanted to catch a yanma so I tried to go back and catch it, but team Flare grunts stopped me. When you interact with them they talk about how they are trying to ignore the cries of the pokemon they trapped on the stones, that were the graves of old Pokémon used to power the weapon. Legit they talk about trying to block out the terrified cries of Pokémon left to die to power a machine that will either destroy everyone but team flare or make team flare immortal. It was horrible, and I didn’t expect that.

[@yy-us5gy]

ive got nostalgic rose coloured glasses on for these games. x was my introduction to the entire pokemon series, i was given it when i was 8? years old and it blew my mind, i have hundreds upon hundreds of hours in it - id never seen any games like it at the time, i spent hours choosing my hair colour and style and trying to get into the designer clothes shop, i spent so long finishing the postgame and doing online battles, it was such a fun time . in retrospect its an easy game and other games in pokemon have a lot more challenge and heart, but i still like these ones

First of all, just found this channel & video. Great video, great editing. Subbed Second.. it’s funny that I found this video as I recently did a similar “I havnt played this game since release” play through.

Oh no way that there is a meeting of all vice admirals with the boss. What a coincidence again that you decided to have a meeting at the exact time that I got here. Thanks for making it so easy".

Y was the only pokemon game i was able to want to beat. gen 4 has some special vibes in my heart so i treat it like an untouched relic ive played through half of gen 5 so much i just cant gen 7 was just too long and i either dont like any unmentioned gem for it being over rated (hottake gen 3 wasnt that good) or just unable to access due to hardware, and i dont think i regret any of that so far. Y was a lovely game, and its only unfortunate it was an omen for future pokemon games to just not have the same sparkle some other games used to have, i really hope Z-A is a faithful and good game so more people can realize the amazing glory of "pokefrance"
