Pokemon X and Y are incredible, I just got white two and hated the shit out of it. Everything was bad and wrong. This game fixes everything. Battle scenes are well presented and up to date but nostalgic. The game does not seem like it's stopping your adventure every two seconds to make you do something seemingly pointless or boring. THE MINI GAMES ARE ALL OPTIONAL. They don't even force you to try them but if you do, you won't regret it because they're fun. And also unlike in b/w TONS of grinding isn't necessary but actually makes you feel stronger. Also they're are awesome new features like riding Pokemon and customizing your character. Mega evolutions are fun to use in battle and make you feel stronger but not OP, I have multiple Pokemon who can mega evolve because then you can choose one depending on the enemies team. The game is great alone like every other Pokemon game but SUPER FUN with other people. I've only played with my sister and I can already tell when all my friends get together it'll be awesome to play. I highly recommend it. My aforementioned sister bought a 3ds just to play it and it was worth it and I haven't even mentioned the stellar over world visuals, fixed camera angles, gyms, music OR the story which is much better than a lost purloin but not quite as good as N's quest for a better relationship between Pokemon and man. I don't want to spoil anything but it IS EPIC.The only problem I have with this game IS the Pokemon, something they did not improve from Gen V as many people had complained about too many object Pokemon, which there are A LOT of. However this is fixed by giving us access to cool new versions of our favourite old Pokemon throughout the game, that and mega evolutions. The game is also way too easy. I know it's a kids game, but I'm fairly certain the majority of the demographic actually isn't. As I said, I liked I didn't have to grind too much but I feel like I could've done the entire game without any. There were some hard parts, but a couple O-Power blasts makes em a piece o' cake. But then again maybe I'm just good because other people do struggle.
