I've been thinking. Take a look at the speculations on why these new games are named Pokemon X, and Y; it can be because that these games are named after the 3Ds motif, of the XYZ plane. But, I can't help but wonder, why? Could there be a more deeper reason why these games were named "X and Y" because of the 3Ds motif?
Well, consider this. What if X&Y is trying to teach us a very important lesson here? Take a look on how pokemon have been considered over the years; first of all, controversy of pokemon has been thought to be evil by religious beliefs. Also, pokemon have been often regarded as only a thing for little kids. Furthermore, some pokemon fans, known as "genwunners", have always thought that generation 1 has been the best, and no other generations can compare. Heck, we've been used to the 2-D gameplay for so long that some people think it'll be strange to adapt to a new style, or maybe people might think it'll be strange to adapt in something in general.
But, looking at the X&Y games, would they possibly teach us to look at things from different perspectives? Could it possibly teach us to look at pokemon in a whole new light, or look at things in general from other ideals?
First of all, just look at the names, X and Y. Doesn't it sound weird that all this time, Pokemon have been named after actual names and words like colors and gems, but now they're simply using letters? Could the changes from names and words to simply letters let us think, "there are various ways of naming something, but it can still be something"?
I like to think that 2-D, and 3-D can be referred to as dimensions. We've looked at pokemon from a 2-D perspective, but now, here we are at a 3-D perspective. From the screenshots, one person can maybe classify this pokemon game as, "taking a whole new look at pokemon in general". Even the new style of battles are a change. What if in a 2-D scene, we've looked at pokemon on a point where they are just fighting machines, but now, we're seeing our pokemon's feelings and emotions right on the battle field? Would that change people's perspective of pokemon and battling in general?
What if in the Pokemon X and Pokemon Y game, we have to look at perspectives from the different choices we make? Consider this, but, isn't moving into a third dimension is similar to "thinking outside the box" or "choosing a third path", so perhaps we will see new things that we've taken for granted in previous games? Could that teach other fans to consider what they have ignored or haven't taken seriously in past generation of pokemon games?
Could it teach other beliefs that, we have to look at a children's perspective, and think, pokemon aren't as evil as claimed?
Do you guys think that Pokemon X&Y might be going with the idea of changing perspectives, or to look at various perspectives in general? Could there be deep lessons from this? Or, could this be a little too deep? Do you have any other thoughts?
