Sky Battles force you to fight with flying critters, a newly introduced category no doubt born of awareness that every player carries one in their party simply to use the fast-travel Fly move. Battles most often pit one mon at a time against another, though paired and triple battles arent uncommon. This does lead to very occasional lag, but it was never game-breaking.Īt its core, the gameplay remains the same, the goal being to catalogue every Pokémon in the land and train them through turn-based combat.

In battle, attack animations are significantly improved, now more likely to reflect what the Pokémon has actually done. Unfortunately, only certain key locations are given the extra eyecandy, but even the more traditional top-down paths benefit from modelled characters rather than sprites. The most immediate improvement is visual, finally delivering the 3D treatment fans have been begging for for years.
#Pokemon x and y the game online series
Some previous entries have done just that looking at you, Ruby and Sapphire but for X and Y, were very pleased to find theres been a near-total overhaul, one bringing the series up to date for players young and old. Bang in a few hundred new easily-merchandisable monsters, flash them past impressionable kiddies, then go to sleep on freshly made beds of cash. Pokémon is a series that Nintendo could very easily get lazy with.
