Team Flare and the story in general. Even though there where some places you could find them, most of the time they where just talking about how good they look in their suits. Else there wasn't much of a story and even when it really started there wasn't much to it. Because of that I couldn't take their plans seriously. I would have hoped that they showed some real presence (like Team Plasma who where everywhere trying to convince the people of freeing their Pokemon) instead of being "mysterious" till the end.

Also being forced to wear a hat, controling the character in Lumiose Town and when riding a Pokemon and the lags in battle even though I'm not even playing in 3D.

My biggest disappointment, really, is the post-game. Or rather it was until I spent about an hour on a certain storyline that got me really happy. X3

Now it's just that the region feels so small...

Okay, at least there's that, but I like to organize them, and it's harder with only 8.

So far, the Horde encounters have been little more than an annoyance, because multiple Pokémon can gang up on you and use annoying things like accuracy lowering and/or confusion moves. They're not fun and they take forever. V_V

The lack of post game content is bothering me a fair bit... And there doesnt seem to be any high level trainers around. Tho I havent rebattled the e4 yet. Also there is no trainer rematches?

My biggest disappointment was how easy the Elite Four were, with the exception of a couple of Pokemon I pretty much beat every single one in a single hit.

I didn't like the blades at first but got used to them quickly. Never bothered with the Bicycle.

I do wish they'd put a 'Hard' or 'Veteran' mode in Pokemon games to give the option to make them more difficult...

My only real issue is that it's too easy. I'm rolling through all the gyms without any difficulty.

I've not got the game yet.
But if it's the same layout, then I've no problem, since I remember Viridian Forest off by heart, I'll get through it no problem.

So if this post means anything, I guess this confirms no Vs Seeker once again. How saddening...

Also I'm kinda surprised some are complaining the Gyms are easier than past games. But my own disappointment is the names of some of the Kalos Gym badges, notably the Bug Badge, Psychic Badge and Fairy Badge. Such redundant names.

The severe lack of new Pokemon. I was really hoping for a palpable amount of diverse and intriguing Pokemon, but instead only got a handful. Don't get me wrong, there's so many wonderful new Pokemon, but if only there was more. The new Pokemon are just too diluted amongst the Pokemon of previous generations.

Also, another minor annoyance is how easy the Gym Leaders and Lysandre was. I was seriously hoping for a challenge but I didn't get any. I didn't even super train my Pokemon!

Other than that, I'm loving everything else. Pokemon Y is definitely one of my favourite Pokemon games ever. (Just behind HGSS/DPPt of course. ;))

the plant starter (mines called cheddar) the first evo looks atrocious. I chose him on cuteness but his evo looks baaaad.

I absolutely loved that the forest was exactly like viridian. there is a lot of nods to kanto and other earlier regions in there and i love it :D

The biggest thing that disappoints me is how there are so few boxes in the PC. Other than that, though, I absolutely love it!!!!
And another disappointment is that I can't use Spritzee in my Y version because I have to trade to evolve her. Oh well, I can use her when I get X. c:

I totally agree with u about there being not as many new pokemon. I've got 6 badges and ive only seen a small handfull of Kalos region pokemon. :( i do hope more start to appear as i progress further into the game!

Guys anyone who's concerned over the lack of legendaries, aslong as you have a stable wi-fi connection, I wouldn't be too worried. Its likely that GF will saturate us with plenty of legendary events, and I honestly cant wait for them!

My biggest disappointment is the friends you travel around. I'm ok with Serena (And whoever the Male Rival is I'd guess). I kinda get the vibe that she's secretly obsessed with defeating you with how she suddenly starts challenging you more often once you hit the fourth gym. She feels like a proper rival for the most part. The other "friends" just feel like they're just coming along to just be there. I don't really care what happens to them because I know nothing about them. A little back story wouldn't hurt.

It might sound silly of me to be complaining about story for a Pokemon game of all things, but after Black and White, which actually had a wide variety of characters to it that stuck out and a pretty nice storyline, this kinda dissapointed me. But I'm not all the way through the game so I can't give final judgement yet. So far though, they've done nothing for me. At least Serena helps you and and tries to compete with you at every chance she gets. Who knows, maybe they'll pull of some last minute shtick whenever I meet the legendary of this game.

Also, Team Flare dissapointed me at first. Then I learned what their real plan was... changed my mind immediately. *shudders*

I may be mistaken but doesn't the number of boxes increase as you fill them?

You boxes go up like in BW and BW2. You have to put a pokemon and each one, once one is in each box, you get more boxes, keep doing that a few times and you will have the max number of boxes. However, I don't know how many total boxes there are. Probably about 5 or so more that what we had in BW/BW2.


As I said early, I am really disappointed in the color of the pokemon. Most seem so so pale. To me Charmeleon looks more orange than red when he is suppose to be a red.

As someone whose been playing these games since the good old days of red and blue, I can honestly say this is the best generation in years. It's what I always wanted a pokemon game to be. Nothing is really DISSAPOINTING so far, but I did think character customisation would be a little more in depth. I thought there would be more hair colours/styles. But the amazing amount of awesome clothes make up for that :)

I Would have said Final Evos and Lack of New pokemon but that won't be right. Seriously it WON'T BE RIGHT. LOOK AT THE GAME! IT IS A REVOLUTION.JUST LOOK AT THOSE GRAPHICS, THE DETAILED BATTLING AND EVERYTHING. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A MORE AWESOME GAME THAN THIS. I just love it! I mean even a low profile move like "Tail Whip" is so cute and awesome. Take a bow Gamefreak you have done an excellent job. 10/10. Chuck the haters and never to be pleased whiners. Everything about this game is so awesome that they should just rename the game from Pokemon x and y to Pokemon Awesome.

I really really enjoy this game, however one thing that bugs me is how long it takes to put items in your bag.

And the roller blades are a bit hard to control, but getting the bike fixes that.

Your acting like the 1st entry in every new generation game has a post-game. R/S has the battle tower, after you catch the Regi's WHAT DO I DO NOW? D/P has the battle tower and like few other legendaries to catch and after that let's go back to your question, WHAT DO I DO NOW?, B/W has the battle subway and cameo characters to battle but after you catch the numerous amount of legendary which frankly most of them doesn't even look legendary at all, let's go back to your question, WHAT DO I DO NOW?

The 3rd game in the generation series are the one that has post-game content, it's been like this since R/S. And frankly, the lesser amount of legendary the better. Most Sinnoh/Unova legendary are forgettable, there was too much Legendary that it felt like it was it's own type.

Also Serebii already confirmed that Gym Leaders appears in Battle Chateau. He already encountered Viola/Grant/Korrina/Wulfric. Also for competitive players and active wifi-battlers there is breeding and EV training for our post-game.

The story was a bit disappointing. I thought the plot and the goals of Team Flare would be a bit more coherent instead of being so vague. I felt they should've been more apocalyptic considering what they wanted to do. The mood never came across as serious.

Also, it took me about five seconds to realize that Santalune Forest was a carbon copy of Viridian. I get that it might've been a shoutout, but at least for me and a couple of others it backfired.

I'm disappointed by the lag in the in game battles...something I've never experienced with other games...oh and the world is more cartoony than I expected...but I still like them despite these minor flaws...so far better than Gen V in terms of region...though I must also say the characters in this game are dull...thus far...
