ACTUALLY Playing The Post Game Of Pokemon X & Y 

Zygarde is one of my favorite from Gen 6 as well!

i remember going into there while i still didnt know about saving before legendary encounters and i almost lost all my pokemon trying to catch him. i got him in a heal ball and i named him pinky haha

It always hits different, when you encounter a legendary without knowing that you could find him there. I remember when I played Diamond for the first time and I randomly encountered Giratina, without even knowing that he existed. It simply hit different, to encounter satan this way 😄

@@derbaumi_4512 Same but I wasn’t even expecting Giratina to be there, I just realized Spring Path was there now, went exploring and there it was.

Same

I agree, I really enjoyed doing it!

Bro same!!!

It was my favorite part of the game. I remember feeling so smart back then.

I spoke it into existence 😂

@@TerraQuake1 Our Pokémon Messiah has risen.

It’s going to be HEAT! 🔥

Is it a sequel or a prequel? I've heard different things

@@alexashford1993 ヽ（´ー｀）┌

​@@alexashford1993we don't know It's a pokemon legend so we don't really know It could be in the past like it could be in the present

@@alexashford1993based on the logo and what ive seen it looks more futuristic granted if its anything like the last legends game sequel/prequel may be kind of inaccurate since timeline wise its less of a sequel than sun and moon were

I got you covered 😂

This is also perfect timing for me since I'm going to get a 3DS for my birthday and my dad has this old version of Pokémon Y

@@lisa-marieowen3596enjoy it! 3DS had such an amazing life span and library, so there is a lot more to play.

What made you give up the nuzlocke?

@@guavasmoothie5516imagine your mega evolved Pokémon die 😔

You also have USUM with Team Rainbow Rocket and the Ultra Warp Ride, and SV with the sidequests with your friends, the Union Circle, the Gym rematches being necessary in order to unlock the school tournament, as well as the Tera Raids and (at least from tomorrow) the start of the DLC in the form of the Teal Mask

Unfortunately, this feels to me like a sad case of “first impressions are everything”. A majority of the postgame feels more like a checklist because, in my opinion, it literally primes our minds to think of it as one in its setup, to the point where once a story truly kicks in, it’s a bit too late to fix that impression. The entire premise of the postgame is built on this idea that you’re helping Looker set up shop in Kalos to fight unspecified criminal activity. So already, they’ve shot themselves in the foot, because it doesn’t take much for the player to realize this just makes them into an on-call investigator. Go to Looker, get assignment, execute assignment. So that’s their first mistake. But that’s okay; it can easily be overcome with a good story, and since your time at the Bureau decreases as the postgame goes on, it seems that was kinda what they were going for. But then, they decide to shoot their other foot for good measure, by making the VERY FIRST MISSION one where the player literally completes a checklist in the form of Looker Tickets. Not only is it one of the most basic fetch quests you’ll ever do in a video game, I believe that it also fails to convince the player that they really earned that assistant detective role. Put both of these things together, and I’m absolutely not surprised that a lot of players thought this was a checklist-y feeling postgame. It sets itself up so badly, that if the emotional beats of the latter half don’t resonate with someone much, it’s likely they’ll come out of it feeling like they just did do a bunch of pointless stuff.

​@@magicalhikari5859I mean, having to pay 30 bucks for getting the post game is kinda trash considering we had all that in the base game before. It's like having to pay in G/S/C just to be able to go to Kanto.

To be fair that has always been an unfair comparison, black and white 2 could reuse most of its assets from the original game as its a sequel. As an oppening game for the generation, XY are honestly filled with content, but you can't expect it to be better in that regards than games like Platinum, HGSS and BW2 where most of their development cycle could be spent on content. At the time pokémon Z was still planned to launch in 2015 and would have probably fixed most issues with gen 6.

@@artimist0315 That's not totally true, while they could use some assets from previous games, they had to make all the charater sprites, move animations and pokemon sprites from 0.

Haha thanks! This is just the same thumbnail layout that I’ve used for all the videos in this series, so it wasn’t on purpose 😅

That’s blatantly untrue both gen 8 and 9 come with a postgame battle tournament that is repeatable. The only difference is it’s tied into the the actual story of the game

But they literally do. While you may enjoy the battle frontier and world cup more, Sword and Shield have the battle tower and SV has the academy ace tournament. It’s understandable if you still enjoy the postgame of older games more but the dlc isn’t the only postgame content for the Switch era games

@river8803 that's just barebones tho basically a shell of what was the post game in the older gens

You calso do the champion cup again in SwSh

Thats literally it. Its only "underrated" because the games have progressively gotten worse since then. My first pokemon game was emerald, followed by fire red and then i went back to crystal. Anyone that's played from gen 2-5 is rightfully unimpressed.

​@ouchc9564 you couldn't have said it better

They’ve really grown on me for sure!

​@@TerraQuake1no they are trash and very easy

​@@gdslayer3385edgy nerd detected

@@OmPrakash-pc1ec Am I lying tho they are the most easiest pokemon games created

@@gdslayer3385have you played sword and shield? literally the easiest

You’re not alone

If you feel bad about that, I didn't know there was a proper post-game until today.

I’ve played Y more than once and I only played through the post game once

WHAT THE HECK ME TOO??? I didn’t know about that Espurr Post Arc!? No wonder I didn’t know about it when it appeared on Pokemon Evolutions.

it doesn’t. it has a single sidequest and 3 legendaries to catch. it barely qualifies as a postgame

@@PhillyCh3zSt3akthere isn’t

they only needed a third game which only didnt happen because of the 20th anniversary wanting a new gen instead

they’re not gonna remake every game lol. HGSS maybe but i them new games will be coming for the next few years

They need to change A LOT

Tho SS/HG are by far the best games

^agreed

@@TheCuteSpacePyroI’ll take BW2 over HGSS

@@tyshawnmills2165i take both compared to Sword/Shield & Scarlet/Violet trash ANY day

@@OHKOKyle every dsi or 3ds games are 10x better than Nintendo switch Pokemon games

I think a big reason why I had a better time with X/Y was the EXP share, which really helped distribute experience through my team.

@@asleepyb0i400yeah that’ll help when you don’t know how to use other Pokémon lol

the Looker quest in XY is why we know that Calem/Serena are at least 17

It’s just so ridiculously easy compared to gen 5 and gen 7

Haha no way! I never saw that episode, wish it was in the game 😂

Haha ya the dialogue can be cringey at times 😂 Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the support!

I enjoyed it as well!

Fr dude

The best part of the game, hands down

Ya I really enjoyed this one!

I mean, gen 3 seems to have less than XY? No story content at all, XY also has 3 legendaries, the Battle Maison

Same, it doesn’t deserve the hate I mean the Black and White games only got well-liked again because many people were nostalgic for them, so the same could happen for X and Y, and hopefully for Sun and Moon too

​@@sharonrizzi14Ehhh, no, the B/W games were liked because people realized that they were good games all around. Nostalgia doesn't change the fact of them having a good story and good challenges.

@@napoleonbuonaparte8975 That’s true, the storytelling wasn’t the best in X and Y but I still love those games a lot, so I may be a little biased 😅 However, the story in Sun and Moon was actually really good though, seriously they are the best modern Pokémon games in my opinion, so hopefully more people will start to realise that too ☺️

@@sharonrizzi14I’d say that sun and moon, and ultra sun and ultra moon are more likely to get the black and white treatment

@@sourlemon1002 I think so too! ☺️😆

What post game is there to play? All you can do is Catch 2 pokemon, beat a looker side story, and go to the battle masion.

​@@piranhalettuceno one ever mentions the battle chateau, with its gym leader and diantha higher level rematches

I appreciate the support!

Ya I wish they added more that weren’t an event or mystery gift

@@TerraQuake1 yeah but atleast it makes up with the fun mega evolutions

For sure, mega evolutions has been one of the best additions!

Brother why is your child assistant doing a much better job than you when you're the specialized detective

I mean Gen 5 fans somehow still insist that their game is still underrated to this day. 🤷

I manifested it 😳

I just started replaying X version the other day, and I would absolutely play the berry farm as a standalone game. Definitely my favorite berry obtaining method in the main games I've played.

Bro does not skip the gym 😂
