Set off on a thrilling 3D adventure that takes you to places the Pok~mon franchise has never gone before. Pok~mon X travels to the breathtaking land of Kalos, a star-shaped, enchanting region brimming with stunning forests, buzzing cities and many brand-new Pok~mon. Gaze upon the wonder of the iconic tower in the center of Lumiose City, as you battle, catch and add to your Pok~dex an array of new Pok~mon that join the 640 you've already encountered. The Trainer is only as good as his Pok~mon, so get ready to fight for glory with the powerful new creatures at your fingertips in Pok~mon X.Meet Helioptile, a Normal- and Electric-type Pok~mon who can generate powerful electricity from sun-bathing to power machinery. While it may display a lack of bravery, its robust Parabolic Charge move makes up for it when Helioptile attacks everything around it. Its HP is restored by half the damage taken by those hit for a significant addition to your Pok~dex. Fletchling, a Normal- and Flying-type Pok~mon, may take adversaries by surprise, since behind its beautiful chirp and friendly personality lies relentless battle attacks, such as Flame Charge. In addition to doing damage, Fletchling's speed increases every time it unleashes this move. Normally sporting a leaf in its mouth and an intimidating glare, Fighting-type Pok~mon Pancham shows its softer side and lets out a smile when you pat its head. During battle, however, Pancham lets loose daunting moves, including Parting Shot, which not only lowers an opponent's Attack and Special Attack, but also allows Pancham to switch out for another Pok~mon in a Trainer's party during battle. Discover a new method of transportation with Gogoat, a large Grass-type Pok~mon who will gladly let you ride its back around Lumiose City. In battle, its Horn Leech move recovers HP equal to half the damage dealt by its move. With so much to explore and so many new Pok~mon to acquire, you're sure to happily spend hours lost within the world of Pok~mon X.

I can't compare this to the many other entries in the series, as this is the only one I've played, but the game is immediately accessible and the pokemon fun to experiment with.

I never played the original game, but they've done a great job with the graphics and 3d effect for the 3DS version. The game feels like it belongs on the system, and it's a very solid Zelda game if you enjoy such.

If you're looking for a different approach to SRPG

then this is a good place to look. Unlike the normal grid approach, this takes a much more free-form approach to battle. Graphics look great, too. Give it a try.

A poor port of a bad game.

Pass on this. The HD conversion was lazy with low-quality textures everywhere, the story is terrible, the characters are barely there, and the mechanics of the questing and time elements are poorly put together. The game has good combat, but that's it.

A good improvement over Disgaea 3.

After playing the original on PSP, Disgaea 3 was quite a let down for mechanics and story. Disgaea 4 improved on both and also upped the graphics quite a bit. Not a bad series entry at all.

The first game has aged decently.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I never played these on PS2 so wanted to give these titles a chance. So far I've only played the first one, but that was worth the cost of purchase. The combat is a bit more challenging than expected, the trophy list is satisfactory, and the climbing puzzles aren't bad at all. Good games to pick up an HD version for.

MGS 2 is the worst game I've ever played.
on August 19, 2015
Posted by: Benjamin
Verified Purchase:Yes
So far I've only played the first one. It was terrible. The dialogue and story were abysmal and the gameplay was extremely dated. Both of these would have been okay if you could actually play the game for more than five minutes without the character getting a phone call from his girlfriend or talking about random nonsense over and over again. If you don't already like the series from it's original iterations, don't start here.

I really like the cartoony art style and the dialogue in these. The story is basic in these games and they're all fairly alike, but definitely worth picking up if you're interested in the jRPG genre.
