Hate For New Generation 6?
Anyone out there who hates Generation 6? Personally I love the concept, pokemon, and the new things they are adding. It gives it a fresh start for even older people who play the games. But I've talked to a few others about it and they've complained a lot about the new pokemon, evolution concepts, and bla bla bla. Any other people out there like that with legit reasons?
|
I can see a few people taking a dislike to the new Mega Evolution concept which I've personally grown to really like! As a whole this Generation so far has pleasantly surprised me and I wouldn't be surprised if this Generation became one of my favourites so far.
|
I understand that some people may not like it, the only argument that I wouldn't except is if they said it doesn't feel like pokemon. And don't get me started on when they compare it to digimon .
|
Every new Pokemon game has this problem, and most people usually come around and get acquainted with the new Pokemon. Of course it's going to change each generation - it's how things evolve. I too think the new Pokemon and features look a bit weird, but I'm optimistic they'll grow on me like every other Pokemon game.
|
I used to dislike the Mega Pokemon, but now I think they could be a great addition to the series.
I know you can't change the opinion of others, but they shouldn't complain. People constantly complain that Pokemon doesn't add more stuff, and when they DO add stuff, they complain...Mega Evolutions, Pokemon-Amie, the PSS, customization...There's TONS of good additions that Game Freak will give to us. |
In terms of fresh start, BW launched a sucessful one,
winning mainly positive feedback from game magazines, like Famitsu. While RS receive a lot of negative feedback, reasons including no cross-gen trading, "revamp" of the series etc... Hopefully Game Freak learnt their lesson |

I am glad for the changes and to me the game is getting more epic than the static sprites and simple move animations the gamesonly showed before. |
Sometimes, I don't understand people like these. I mean come on! A MEGA Lucario?! That's freaking awesome! And if it's freaking awesome, I'm all good with it B)
|
When Megalution was first revealed, I thought the way they looked were awesome, but I didn't really like the concept for 2 or 3 simple reasons.
I thought they were real evolutions and not just forms. I thought that the names were stupid if they were new pokemon. I didn't want a Mega Blaziken to be far from the other Torchic line in the dex and all these megas would take up a lot of space in the dex. However, once they confirmed that they were just forms, battle forms at that. I loved them tho I was already starting to like them. When they said they were forms, I found them 100% acceptable. And honestly I am not a competitive battler, so in most cases, I could careless about the metagame. |
There will always be people who hate a newer generation. It will grow on some and others will continue to dislike it.
I don't understand it, but those people exist. Personally I have been in love with Gen 6 since the very first reveal and it just keeps getting better and better. Only 2 more months. It's so hard to wait!! |
A lot of it is just fear of the unknown. They see GF making all these changes and don't know how it will change the game, so they instantly hate it. It happens all the time whenever a change for anything is announced.
I'm excited to see how the changes play out, and how they will enhance (or possibly diminish) the overall experience of the game. |
Imma hold myself back from screaming hate since everyone else is so positive.
I can totally see why, and I both dislike and accept mega evolutions. Their designs are pretty lazy (ZOMG LETS ADD LOTS OF RED THINGS ON LUCARIO!!!!) but the concept is... okay? |
"Hate for New Generation 6?"
None whatsoever. =) |
I'll definitely hate it if they try to make it super duper easy or "kid-friendly" which in adult language is "take away anything bad and add tons of tutorials, oh and don't forget to put no effort into the plot; just think of an idea and go for it!".
|
I'm just glad its not the same type of pixels over and over again! :)
|
Heh, yeah. For four whole generations the pixels didn't even move!
|
Not that I hate the new generation, Just concerned about its quality. I Loved Pokemon more for its simple yet creative creature designs, each design having a background relating from history to folklore. With the Mega Evolutions (Like most, I thought of Digimon) I was worried the designs and pokemon would lose their integrity. I guess thats really what I look for with each generation (Over time, its easy to just push out gimmicky creature designs to make deadlines and push more out faster).
Back on track, the new Mega Evolutions I am still skeptical about for several reasons. 1) Over time this might make Pokemon look really washed out and messy with all these Pokemon having alternate forms and these same Pokemon having Mega Evolutions during battle. It will start getting confusing like Digimon and each design will lose its unique luster. 2) This might be a way for the artists to push out more Pokemon at a time. I noticed the Mega Evolutions, since their not true evolutions, are updated designs (looking more hyped up and action figure like). Does this means that the Pokemon that get these Mega Evolutions won't evolve? If so, it seems like a short way out. 3) The Mega Evolutions are blurring the lines between itself and alternate forms. Though I think I can see the reason, which would be gameplay and training (This will def keep everyone busy with planning what moves and skills to give their Pokemon for battle) * This sounds like a rant after reading, but it's really just worried speculation (from a designing stand point). Obviously GF isn't going to change anything (especially because it was already made and being released) from mixed reactions of fans. Over all I feel the New Generation has a lot of promise with technology, social networking, gameplay and storyline. Just have to wait for the big picture. |
I don't know how I feel yet about the Mega Pokemon. Seems different I guess.
The games haven't come out yet though so I really can't find much to hate on...yet. |
I have mixed feelings about the Mega evolution,while I like the design,I'm still waiting for more information before I can make a clear judgement,as for the Pokemon themselves,I like them a lot,I like how most of the pre-evos look really cute but have badass evolution xD.
Also Kalos(Karos?)Is a awesome looking region and I really love the new art style for it! |
Higher risk, higher gain.
However I'm not too sure if Game Freak is going the right way about this. I'm worried about the power creep that has been settling in since Generation V and the effect that the "Mega Pokemon" will have in influencing it. |
I don't really like the Pokemon designs.
|
For me Mega pokemon reduce my hype for Pokemon X and Y I feel forced to have a Mega pokemon in my team now and also it seems most of the evolution and pre-evolution will never happen because they will just put a Mega on it and call it a day.
|
I like Mega Pokemon, is a much needed new battle mechanic. We still don't know enough about them to hate them I think. If after the game arrives we find out this new thing is game breaking then ok I hate it, but until then I put my trust on Gamefreak.
|
I also think that the whole "Mega" aspect of it isn't necessarily a good idea, I mean, it's a nice and fresh way to spice things up, but as for me, I'm content with the battles style we already have.
|
Haters will hate. I kinda wish they changed Mewtwo a long time ago, but I will pass opinion when I actually play the game
|
I like everything about 6th generation.....Ok not Honegda....Megapokes FTW let haters hate.
|
There are a lot of reasons to hate the new pokemon games. A new "girly" type, requiring people to buy 3DS's, and blasphemously redefining "evolution" to something digimonish.
But more than ever, the frequently-used reason to hate pokemon "that it's always the same" no longer stands. We have change! :) |
Many people didn't like 3D games in the past, mainly because they were slow on account of the move animations. I don't have a problem with it, but I wouldn't be surprised if smarks hate the jump to 3D.
|
I freaking hate Fairy already because Game Freak doesn't seem to know very much about fairies in general. It could make an amazing type edition, but not if every single Fairy type is pink, cute, big-eyed and sparkly.
Fairies aren't about glamour and cuteness, they're about trickery and folklore. If Game Freak doesn't create any real fairy Pokémon, I'm going to avoid catching one. That one in the flower is a step in the right direction, I must admit. It could actually be a fairy. Mega evolutions just seem forced. I don't want a super saiyan Lucario, I just want a Lucario. You don't have it make it red. I like him the way he already is. |
This whole idea of a "fresh new start" is nonexistent. That was claimed during the last (worst) generation, and now people are claiming that here? Okay, so what does this gen give us?
-Digivolution Mega Evolution -Cotton Candy -Fairies! (That is, pink, girly Disney fairies, not the more interesting mythical creatures) -A supposed "stronger" Mewtwo that somehow looks weaker -Yet another purely evil team with no real motive besides being evil -3D! (That is, terrible, lifeless 3D that wouldn't even look presentable on the N64) -You gotta buy a 3DS! Which has so many great games, like... umm... an incomplete mess of a Mario Kart game, or... uhh... a pitifully easy Mario game, or... umm... uhh...... I swear, this is shaping up to be even worse than generation 5. |
I am personally more excited for Gen 6 then Gen 5. The customization of the protagonist is a great addition
|
Save for Xerneas, all the fairy pokémon are just tinkerbell-esque fairy types. One of them being cotton candy really does not help as well. In my opinion that's as stupid as the upside-down pokéball.
I am quite mixed on the Mega Evolutions, it felt rather shocking when I first saw it, but it could be a decent change of pace. The designs are disappointing, most of them just have random spikes and markings all over them and they feel less natural than any Digivultion (yup, I'm going to that extreme). Everything else I'm ok with, however this generation probably won't be one of my favourites from how it's shaping up. |

There isn't anything that I dislike about the newer generation yet. The minute the September CoroCoro was leaked with hardly any information translated, I was skeptical about the Mega evolutions since I was both stunned and confused. As time progressed and information was shown I grew an interest and accepted them. Who cares if it's SSJ Pokemon or Digi-whatever? It's something new and optional.
My views might be different than others, since I'm a competitive player rather than a casual player & that I always look at things positively, and think how much better newer mechanics can be and just stay optimistic with them rather than complaining and never accepting change. Disappointments and pessimistic expectations are usually seen through every generation, but in the end they are just opinions. To each their own. |
Quote:
All I have for the new Gen is tons and tons of... curiosity. How will the new type blend in? How well will the 5 vs 1 battles play? How will the new 3D environment impact the movements on the overworld (so far we've seen the character swinging on vines, I wonder what else he's doing...) ? How will MegaEvolutions impact balance? Finally, how many Pokémon will we be able to catch? I think I won't be able to answer these questions for myself until I play X/Y. As of now, I'm pumped up for its release even more than I was for Gold/Silver ten years ago. |
I'm just like running down the posts and liking everything negetive about those darned fairies!
I have a bad feeling about this generation. They're going to overeggerate everything and build up our excitement with all of these leaks and commercials. Then, they're going to let us fall and drop when the games come out. Because I swear, if Team Flare sucks and the rivals are goody-goody friends I will scream I TOLD YOU SO at the top of my lungs. But I'm buying it anyways. Even if the games suck, I'll still like it for what it is. Generation 5 was a big disappointment, but I still enjoy it because the Pokemon (although poorly designed) are pretty decent and the characters are hiliarious to make fun of. |
No hate for gen 6 even though I'm still a little skeptical about the megavolves every thing else seems fine I just hope fairy types don't look too cheesy
|
This thread is painful to read and it's the embodiment of why I hate Pokemon fans.
That being said, it's pretty stupid to hate an entire generation and people should feel bad for being that stupid especially if that hatred is directed towards games that haven't even come out yet. Personally, I rather enjoy the steady stream of info that's been released over the last few months. It's a lot more than what's been released before previous games came out, but I'll bet my kidney that they're doing it because it's going to be a worldwide release. It's not like how it usually is, where Japan gets the games first and we get all of the information sans localization stuff at once while still waiting for our copies. The actual aesthetics of the game are "So what?" at worst and don't warrant actual hate. Let's take the Fairy type, for instance. It was introduced to keep Dragons in check because - surprise! - Dragons are wicked strong. Keeping the mentality that Dragon types are strong because Dragon type is special because they're dragons is very childish. Bringing in something to knock them down a peg and help even the playing field is a great idea because Pokemon's got a huge competitive scene that needs some major balancing. Player-enforced rules will only go so far. And who cares if they decided to call it FAIRY? Fairy types are reminiscent of different kinds of fairies, kind of like how Dragon types are reminiscent of different kinds of dragons. Saying that Fairy type is stupid because of the name is like saying that Dragon type is stupid for the same reason. Hating on designs is just as stupid because Pokemon can be based off of literally anything. Off the top of my head there have been sentient rocks, orbs, bats, reindeer, whatever Machop is, seeds, piles of slime, flowers, balls of gas, piles of lava, birds with multiple heads, magnets, and electricity. Saying that Pokemon designs are "getting" dumb is, in itself, dumb because they've been pretty consistent. But guess what? Spoiler:

my and only complaint is just mega name, it just sounds and feel lazy, it like gf said forget creavity, if they change the names, then ill be happy, so far im loving the mega froms and all the other features gf as added

The type is stupid because of the name, because it has nothing to do with fairies. You know, the beings from various mythologies? I'm pretty sure that there weren't any ancient mythologies that included sparkly "KAWAII DESU NE UGUU" pink abominations. Xerneas is the only exception. And he's neither a sparkly pink thing, nor a proper mythological fairy. He's a rainbow deer. Dragon-types are fine because they actually look like dragons. |
I don't hate it but I also find the Mega tag lazy. They could added a different suffix...like Knight to all of their names...MewtwoKnight, BlazikenKnight. Or made a unique one for each one.

To be honest I personally feel that it should've been introduced earlier. So far I love everything about gen 6 . But that's just me. For some reason I don't get angry when a pokemon doesn't get a new evolution. I love that my rivals are just homies from my hood. And we have to remember out of all the countries and culture that has been with pokemon , Japan's been down with it since the beginning . I mean yes pokemon is popular all over the world but not like it is in Japan . So even tho the world was hype with pokemon , the world as a whole lost interest. So Game freak catering to the japanese market is a good plan. Because of in 20 years pokemon popularity drops , while the world is on to the next thing I guarantee that Japan will be poke crazy . So my thing is if the japanese want cute pink things I see no reason why GF wouldn't give it to them. Maybe if the U.S would have the market to have a pokecenter in every state maybe they will listen to us. Lets face it the community is liking pokemon a lot more then they did years ago |
PROS:
~Fairy-type! Yes, this is a pro in my opinion! I can't wait to see how this influences battle! ~Horde battles! This will shake up grinding! ~PSS! I'm especially excited for the Wonder-Trade feature! Sounds fun! ~Mega Pokemon! My first reaction was shock and a bit of hate, but then I realized it's a really awesome concept. Hoping for Mega Smeargle! ~Graphics. Need I say anything more? ~Pokemon Amie! YESSS! ~Super Training. This'll be sooo helpful in the long run. CONS: ~Team Flare. I hate that they're limiting the evil pokemon to a fire-type theme. Froakie choosers will just breeze through them. I also hate their motives and designs. Team Flare, imo, looks terrible! ~Plot. It looks like the plot has taken a giant step backwards from Gen V. ~Sky Battles. Why do we need these again? They're just normal battles from the looks of it, but utilizing special camera angles. ~Pokemon STILL don't walk with you. That was my fav. feature in HG/SS. Overall, the pros outweigh the cons. Looking forwards to Gen VI! |

>Fairies There's the problem right there. I really want to make a connection to fairy tales, where the dragon is a big evil beast that's slain by a hero with magical equipment, but there's no real connection to fairies there so I'll go for the next closest match: The Japanese fantasy genre. There are tons of fairies of all kinds in Japanese fantasy. Hell, fairy companions are extremely popular and almost none of them look like Tinkerbell. Let's look at some. Warning: Image-heavy spoiler. Spoiler:
Etc. etc. etc. etc. Do you get my point? The games are made in Japan so the idea of fairies would be styled after kid-friendly fairies in Japanese culture. Hell, you should be arguing in favor of more fairies like Gardevoir since that's as close to Western fairies that you'll get. |

Gen 5 we had watchhogs and puppies, BW2 was actually good with diversity but wait.... Didn't they bring back zubats!!!! Ill take fire types anytime 2 lol we know absolutely nothing about the plot to even speculate on this matter 3 same reason we needed double and triple battles 4. I would of given you this one in gen 5 but now that the pokemon aren't pixels they don't look as cute following you as they did in HG Ss, lets imagine a wailord following you around in the new 3d graphics |

What's your problem? People are going to dislike things no matter what. If you have a problem with people being negative with things that aren't released yet, go somewhere else please. Either ignore or be polite. Because this post is anything but. Be a bit more openminded would you? Not everyone is going to drop down to their knees and worship the Game Freak gods without question 'kay? What really annoys me about what you've said is "don't let nostalgia cloud your mind". God, you know what I hate about the Pokemon franchise? That just because someone dislikes something newer makes them a Generaton 1/2 worshipper. Stop jumping to conclusions and act more openminded about other people! I never even played Red/Blue/Yellow/Gold/Silver/Crystal because they have remakes and I don't need to play them! Just because I dislike fairies and such doesn't make me and other people genwunners. I hate fairies because they're only designed to look adorable, and not to be based off of real fairies from mytholigy. |

I like to think of myself a true fan of pokemon, its an aspect of my life . Some people make that aspect about sports or their job I make it about pokemon, pokemon is my part of my lifestyle ( the other two being god, and family) I've been a fan since gen 1 when I was 6. I'm all about the nostalgia . But here's the thing generation one was good but not the best generation out there. Here's how I see all the gens 1 Generation one was good because it was something new there was yet to be a game like Pokémon before and this was just something interesting. Let's face it back then games were a little bit dull I mean yes you had your Mario and Final Fantasy but let's face it Pokémon really give you a connection to the character your playing. Take Mario for instance if you and your friend played Mario you will go to the same levels and beat the game around with the same things But now look at Pokémon you and your friends can have the exact same game yet have different experiences different Pokémon and just make the game your own 22. Generation two was good because It took the old game that you love added a whole bunch of new characters and gave you a whole bunch of different new features And it lets you revisit the region of the old game to give you a huge dose of nostalgia 3. Now I'm not sure what everybody feel as for generation three. But I remember them announcing the game and seeing screenshots and stuff like that and pretty much I love everything about it of course I didn't really play the games until I was 20 years old But it really gave features such as double battles and natures which is pretty cool. I never once came close to completing the national Pokédex in generation one and generation two so not being able to migrate my Pokémon to generation 3 really wasn't that big of deal for me 4. Generation four was cool for implementing old features such as day and night Then we have the physical special split which was awesome We got wireless communications so you know so that was pretty cool you could trade with everybody all over the world. It also took one of the greatest games gold and silver remade them and made it 10 times better 5. Generation five was cool because it made the battles faster, Added triple battles gave us dreamworld Pokémon drastically improve the Wi-Fi functions and gave us online battles Awesome mechanics such as move learn set revamp and reusable TMs And they gave us one of the most detailed biggest deepest story we've had in a Pokémon main series game So while I loved gen 1 I think gen 6 will be great It's giving us a ton of new features it's giving us the ton of old Pokémon giving us old Pokémon with new transformations I see no reason why it wouldn't give us a greater story than generation five Really good wireless features The best graphics since the series came out And a awesome new type which hasn't been done since generation two And a new region and Pokémon So I got mad love for generation six And you're really going to have to bring your arguments up in order to show hate for . Now granted when it comes to new Pokémon a new forms of Pokémon I understand at first you may not be feeling them because while they don't look like you might want them to look Just keep in mind the only reason we love gen 1 pokemon was because there wasn't anything else to compare it to |
Well, I don't know about the other people, but maybe they genuinely like everything reaveald so far about THIS Gen but disliked other changes. Just because people could genuinely like something doesn't mean they're people who blindly love and accept and worship the changes Game Freak makes.
I, for one, hated the Mega Evolution concept, and while I don't hate it anymore, I just wonder if it's a good idea or if it was neccesary. And lots of things in Gen 5. Me pregunto si fue buena idea involucrarme en esto :I |
I can't say I "hate" anything about Gen 6, because I don't fully or even well understand much of any of it yet.
I'm not too hot on fairies so far, because I love my dragons, and it feels that they're being severely undermined by being weak against a type that thus far looks frail, weak, and rather gimmicky. There's nothing about the fairies we have aside from Xerneas and a couple others that seem mystical or special or powerful to me, enough to take down a powerful beast. I know that's not what fairies are supposed to be about, but still, to me it just looks like a second normal type from the fact that the majority the Pokemon we have with it are a ribbon-covered-cutesy-fox-thing, a bottle of perfume, cotton candy, an electric hamster, a water mouse and Jigglypuff. I can understand if that's just Japan's thing of making cutesy things into being magical, but I feel it could be done a lot better than what we're given so far, because they seem too, well, normal. But that's just me. I'm also a bit iffy on these mega-evolutions. In some cases, we're giving major powerhouses even more power, like with Mewtwo and Blaziken, and in others we have Pokemon who might do better with an evolution instead, like Absol and Mawile. I just hope that for balance's sake, the former won't be allowed in wifi-battles or comes with a good deal of limitation, or instead of being a straight power boost, the Pokemon's power is reconfigured in a different way. Other that I'm mainly cool with the what's been revealed so far, and I'm very excited for these games and am glad to have Y already preordered. There are no Pokemon that bug me too much, and if you don't like a Pokemon, you're probably only gonna see it when you're obliterating it. (I still wish that food Pokemon weren't a thing but still) |
Let's break it down, PC user *Icecold*. Allow me to lead.
Spoiler:
And with that, I would just like to offer an apology. I was irritated - I still am a bit - and I let it show, which was a huge faux pas on my part. I was tactless and rude while trying to get my point across and I am very sorry for being that way. |

But it actually sounds a little bit funny. |
I personally am going to hold on an opinion for the most part until the games actually come out. Game Freak has been shown not to reveal a lot about the games until just before their release, or just after.
Either way, I don't really like forming an opinion with as limited information as this. What Game Freak is revealing at this point is only some of what's new out there. If I don't like it, there are tons of other aspects of the game that I'll likely enjoy more. Will it be my favorite? Perhaps, perhaps not. What matters the most is actually seeing if the game is well worth the money I'll more than likely be investing in it, as I already have a 3DS. |

Every new generation has people who invest all sorts of time and energy into hating it.
I don't know why they bother. They just waste a lot of effort convincing themselves to hate something that they haven't even played yet. They crash around forums, desperately trying to convince other people (and probably to some degree themselves) that their burning hatred of this game they haven't even played yet is justified because blah, blah, blah. It's their loss. Just like with every other gen, while they're trying ever more desperately to justify their hatred with an ever more predictable and trite set of complaints (watertrumpetssurfingsnowdriftsoverdesignedicecreamconetrashbags), I'll be playing and enjoying another generation of games. |
Quote:

I'm just sharing my opinion with the forums is all. Negative or positive, a reasonable member will respect it U.U
I don't even hate the game because I can't hate the game because I can't even play the game. I just hate Fairy types. I do, however, predict that this generation isn't going to be as good as it seems. However, let's all pray it will be! And I hate Generation 5 because of the storyline and how strightforward and easy it is. (Take that Arlo :P) |
Quote:
@ Arlo. I was reading that mush up of words and started with the end and ended up going backwards. When I got to the Water and Trumpets I couldn't help but laugh, it brought back memories...and all those reason sound horrible to say one hates the game...maybe dislike it...well the Trashbag and Ice cream cone maybe more understandable if those were the only Pokémon of that generation but they weren't...again I wish people would look at the whole picture... |
Quote:
And although I dislike the 5th generation, I like Vannilite/Vanniluxe and Garbodor's designs. They're colorful and original for being based off of inanimate objects. However, if you want a badly designed Pokemon look at Klink. But I might as well say some things I do like about Kalos so far. The Pokeamie thingamajig is acutally going to have an effect on the Pokemon in battling, not just to spruce it up with fancy ribbons and achievements. (Although those are still pretty patties in eveyr which way.) Many of the Pokemon's designs look pretty interesting. I like how this generation's bunny Pokemon isn't so.... you know. It actually looks like a real life rabbit and not some exaggerated.... yeah, I'll stop talking. Gym leaders look interesting, like the professor so far (Sycamore!!), legendaries are really cool and the fact that it looks like AC:NL with the improved sprites and graphics is awesome. And who would say no to customization? I can have a dark skinned protagonist! I've wanted to be black since the games came out! ^^ |
It seems with every new generation, people have their fears that it will be a disaster. Then after the generation they look back and realize, wow it was pretty awesome
|
It's called change, some people accept it, others don't. Which is silly because if pokemon was the same thing over and over agin it would take out the fun. A lot of people have been complaining for 4 generations about no new types and now fairy types are released and everybody starts complaining about it being "stupid" and such. Oh and it hasn't been confirmed that team flare's ONLY goal is money. It could be like Ghetsis lying all over again.
However... I DISAGREE!(okay I couldn't resist) |
Quote:
And I hate Fairy types because they have sooo much potential but they're only giving the typing to cutesy Pokémon like that Pikachu rip-off (not that I have problems with Pikachu rip-offs) and Marill of all things decent. Okay I'm just repeating myself over and over again. Let's just say I'm fine with change. |
I just don't like it because it's being rendered in Unreal. And not only that, the graphics look like they're from MySims or something. Though I am still excited about Gen VI, and ponder it's hacking vulnerabilities. :)

And it's only your opinion that AC:NL was awesome. Just because one game that you liked on that system was nice doesn't automatically make his opinion awful. (I liked the game too, but it seems that what your saying is that one game made the whole system look amazing.) And I agree, the Mario Kart and Mario 3D Land games were pretty bad. And don't forget Pokémon Rumble and Nintendogs. |
Quote:
In regards to AC:NL this is from Wikipedia The game itself has received overwhelmingly positive reviews. The Japanese version of the game received a 39/40 from Japanese magazine Famitsu, earning the publication's Platinum Award,[50] while the English version received an 8.0/10 from GameSpot, and a 9.6/10 from IGN.[59][60] The game also scored an 88/100 on Metacritic indicating "generally favorable reviews".[8] Many critics seem to agree that the game's visuals are great, and that the game has enough new content to keep both new and veteran players excited. The game debuted in Japan with sales of just over 800,000 units sold with 200,000 of them being digital.[61][62]Animal Crossing: New Leaf became the first 3DS game in Japan to pass 2 million units sold, doing so in just under 2 months.[63] As of 31 March 2013 the game has sold 3.86 million copies in Korea and Japan.[64] So in conclusion if someone were to say this is the best game ever that would be an opinion , if someone were to say that this game is awesome, well that would be fact since awesome is not a measurable unit and is determine by what people think , so by the response the game has had .....yes it is indeed awesome And since its the job of the game to really sell the system , I can totally see one game making a system worth playing, now was ACNL that game? Well not for me but for some people it is. And I truly believe that the main series pokemon games that will be on the 3ds will be the games to make buying a 3ds worth it even if its just playing those games . Did anyone here have a ps2? I didn't I had $200-$300 kingdom hearts playing machine lol ( get the point?) |
If the music is as good as it was in Gen. 5, I'll have no reason to dislike it 8 )

If its bad. I will hate it. But fortunately I don't think it's bad and I hope it's what all the hype says it is.

I got a hopscotch theory for the legendary trio in this game. Evil creatures from fairy tales(folklore) and myths. They'll all be dual typed fairy and something else. Stupid I know, but just a guess.
|
I don't see how anyone can hate the game yet their is literally nothing to backlash at yet. I'd understand if they played it and didn't like it but before you try it you shouldn't judge really.

I think after the game convention and we get new info and they announce that the demo will be released on the eshop and people actually play them, most of the hate will disappear |
I'm surprised people were so mad at the fairy type. I mean sure, most people thought light type would've been a good move or what not. But let's face it... we already had fairy-like pokemon so it made sense to do it that way

The haters are annoying in my opinion. They'll probably end up liking it.
X and Y has some really awesome concepts and my only problem with it is that it is only on the 3DS :( So now I really need to upgrade to it :) |
I see this generation getting a lot of hate if it's released without any form of backwards compatibility, but I sincerely hope that this is Game Freaks way of completely overhauling and revolutionising pokemon data, stats, and variables such as the IV and EV system.
|
This looks s00000 awesome..I'm dying to get that mega blaziken. I honestly have mix feelings about that mega Mewtwo, it looks so OP. Also it seems that have something in place to make EV training a whole lot easier which is nice because its actually kinda annoying to defeat 4 pokemon to gain +1 stat before leveling. I absolutely must have this

As for the ones that didn't jump on the light bandwagon, they hate Fairy Type because its completely stupid. Doesn't follow stories/legends. They are all pretty much cute and cuddly creatures you'd see in a Disney movie. The overall idea was just dumb. |
Quote:
The idea isn't dumb , they are just basing it on the more modern interpretation of the fairy . I doubt we have seen all the fairy pokemon maybe they have a balance, and if not so what it's pokemon of course it's going to have cute and cuddly monsters , heck even so of the pokemon who are supposed to be not cute is still sorta cute. I'm still saying people are upset with this because they were wrong, lets face it I doubt any of you were fairy enthusiast before they announced it as a type . |
You're going to get the usual wave of "hate" or "disappointment" with every generation. People will still end up loving these games I'm sure, and Nintendo will still make a killing off of X&Y.
I feel that people's emotions are stronger in the generations with the most change, see Gens II, III, V, and VI. |
Xerneas isn't cute or cuddly, he'd probably stab you with his horns!

The alternatives for mobile gaming are the Vita ( which has no software ) or Phones/tablets which have no quality games aside from ports from consoles/ emulators. So the 3DS really is a great investment if you want to game on the go even if X & Y are bad (Which they wont be). |
I agree, there are always going to be people who complain about the new things. I'm a fan of the Mega Evolutions, I didn't like them when I thought they were just regular evolutions because I felt any more evolutions were basically useless, but now that I'm seeing they're temporary and work basically as digivolutions do in Digimon, I like them. I think it's a really good idea.
I'm hoping for eventually a new way to meet your starter rather than "here's your Pokemon, go bond with it" i.e. Professor Birch being in trouble and you having to select a Pokemon to save him, and maybe some sort of possible legendary evolution (other than Baby forms like Phione/Riolu) or slide between a legendary duo/trio (say, the ability to use, for example, a weather-based move that turns Lugia into Ho-oh and vice versa at the cost of one move) but from what I've seen of Gen VI everything seems to be pretty neat. They incorporated a lot of things people were complaining about so it just makes me laugh that people are still complaining about it. |
Really like the 3D graphics but i dont like most of the pokemons
except pancham everyone likes pancham |
I don't really like the new generation, but I don't go to the extent of hating it, criticizing on everything bad about it and bashing it, just that I'm not really excited about the new Generation. Generally, I don't really care about how Generation 6 progresses though. Sad to say, but I think I would not change my opinion, as I don't really like changing views anyways... (Even if I decide to hate on it, I would only despise it secretly...)
Horde Encounters is like Mystery Dungeon all over again. Then again, don't really like the Fairy-type either. I don't like the Mega Evolutions. I have a feeling Game Freak is trying to dump random new forms on the more popular Pokemon, just like how they did with Mewtwo. This concept is similar to Digimon, and in my opinion, it's like taking away the Pokemon-ish feel. (If the Lake trio and Tao trio ever get Mega Evos, I swear I'm gonna shoot myself...) For example, I would prefer Zekrom to stay Zekrom, as that's what truly makes him(it) unique in his(its) own way. Well, change may not necessarily be a bad thing, but I do feel that the series is changing too drastically. I would have preferred if the games don't change too much in just one go, such as the gap between Generation 5 and 6. For me, I enjoy the games, as long as they're to my liking. I can accept changes made to the series, but not drastic changes. I personally would have liked it if the series did show obvious changes but still retained several original concepts. For example, I would have preferred if the Pokemon didn't gain new forms, because sometimes being yourself is more important, and that's what makes people or video games unique in their own way. I don't really mind rip-offs, but sometimes the uniqueness of the series has to be preserved to a certain extent. I do not mind even if the games stayed the same with a few changes from Gen 1 to Gen 5, as long as the main purpose of the series is still there, that's the main reason why I do enjoy video games. The first ever Pokemon game I had was Platinum, the one I enjoyed the most so far was Black 2. As long I can have a decent game and build an army of Level 100s in the same old fashioned way or using similar methods, I am content enough. I'm referring to the game mechanic changes and new features from Gen 4 to Gen 5. For example, Join Avenue reduces the reliance on EV training. I still can build a Level 100 team using Join Avenue alone with $$$, which is somehow similar to EV Training the old fashioned way in Gen 4. Main point is as long as I can still achieve my main purpose of playing the game using the same or similar methods, I'm happy enough already. That's more or less why I don't mind if the series shows little or no changes at all. I am neither a Genwunner nor one which gets so excited about new stuff, I am just an ordinary person who likes Pokemon. Genwunners can be annoying at times because they whine about the new stuff and cannot move on, while those who get thrilled about new stuff may also be annoying in another way. It's like they whine about people who don't like new stuff, such as the Mega Evos which at first glance seem appealing to them, and to a certain extent question the other person why do they not like this or that. Example: HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THIS?!! IT'S DAMN COOL AND EPIC!!! The only thing I can say that it's a subjective question, everyone has their own preferences. Note: I am not here to convince people that Generation 6 is bad, I am only stating how I view upon the new Generation. I may dislike the new Generation but nonetheless, I have accepted the changes GF did to Pokemon. Since I have accepted the changes, I wouldn't really whine about the new stuff, but I will still state my opinion if I want to. As in whether I like or dislike this, instead of coming out with a list of bad things and whining about it all day long endlessly. (Well, if you don't like the game, then don't play or even purchase it. I'm not getting a 3DS anyways, and I wouldn't want to waste money on it. It's better to ignore the things you dislike rather than whine angrily about its faults.) |
I think there going to be amazing with the new graphics pokémon. mega evolutions look awesome. the new type (fairy) well change up battles online and to me over all to me they look like there going to be great and a fresh start on the series. the only ones I've seen hate on the games is the annoying gen one fan base.
|
With every new generation, you are going to have fans state their distaste because "this isn't Pokemon anymore". I just block this out because Pokemon is still impressing me and I feel this gen is the best ever from what we have seen so far.

To be honest, I'm impressed with everything X & Y has shown so far, it could essentially top 5th Gen as my new fave generation. Kalos is an impressive region, the Pokemon all have great designs and the features show this is easily a sign of improvements and some, like Mega-Evolutions were totally unexpected. And not to mention how epic the games look now they're in full 3D! |

As they usually do right? I totally agree with that and I feel most haters will later see that these games are probably the best so far. There has never been such a jump in improvement from one generation to the next, imo. |
It looks pretty promising, although I haven't gotten over the fact that I have to blow all that money on a 3DS now (good tactic, nintendo, but whyyyyy).
I just feel like this whole thing is designed for or by a girl, which is ok, since I am one. Brand new fairy type, being able to pet your pokemon now, camera, sylveon in general (I can't look at it the same way now that someone pointed out to me that it has bows made of flesh). I'll have to hear the cries they come up with to determine the girliness. I bet it's just how it seems so far. They haven't shown enough hardcore looking pokemon or any legendaries (besides the main ones) yet for any judgement to be made, but I have to say I REALLY love Yvetal. It's a really awesome looking thing, like the offspring of groundon and lugia. I like the squid pokemon (it looks really mean) and I REALLY REALLY LOVE the Mawile super-evolution. I've been saying it forever - Mawile and Sableye are in extreme need of an evolution. I am really disappointed that Mawile has to turn back after battle. Mawile is one of my favorite pokemon. I just hope this new game isn't all prettiness. They need to make the games a little harder. Things used to be really hard, in the GBA games at least. To get the Regis in Ruby you have to do all this stuff, like have a relicanth and wailord and figure out the secret language in the hard-to-get-to-caves and do weird stuff to make them appear - it's all madness. It's far to easy in the new games. |
