Icon of Sin Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 So far I don't think I heard anyone saying this game was challenging though. Challenge mode would've been fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Lightning Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 So I hear its light on post game content? I'm surprised, since if its true that all 700ish something pokemon are available for capture at some point in the game, I would imagine much of the post-game would be dedicated to catching all of those legendaries.....unless most of them are still relegated to events or previous gens...

Nobody Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I want this game and I want it NOW =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S_Cero Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Awakening is overrated. Well 9.0 is still a great game. I hear that the challenge is low which is a shame. That would've done great with the addition of challenge mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest meibum Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 9/10 is by no means bad. Not like I care about others' opinions before buying a game anyway. We have to remember that Pokemon tries to reach out to a wide age range so they can't make it that difficult of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arvilino Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 some reviews say there's not much postgame stuff, others say there's a lot WHICH IS IT According to the Metro review they're past 60 hours and still have a lot to do. http://metro.co.uk/2013/10/04/pokemon-x-and-pokemon-y-review-its-super-effective-4134522/ But complaining that Pokémon X and Y is too similar to previous games misses the point. It’s similar in that it’s still identifiably the same game but there are meaningful changes and embellishments that go well beyond any sequel since the days of the Game Boy Color. We’ve certainly never had so much fun since then, and with our in-game timer already well past 60 hours we’ll be playing it for many more hours to come. Either the main game is much longer, or there's got to be quite a bit of a post game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurath8 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Whatever happens the game will end up lasting me over 110 hours. Not a single main series pokemon game hasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
