Pokemon X and Y are two of the best Pokemon games to date (I have Pokemon X and I have played my friend’s Pokemon Y). I have two complaints, however. First, there really is not all that much character customization for male characters and Team Flare really did not play a big enough part. I kind of wish they would bring back the Gen III setup where the legendaries come into full focus partway through and the team you are fighting against plays a medium-sized role. Black and White kind of went overboard with the whole rival team angle, but I think that was a better setup than basically no involvement. Also, it would be cool if one could create custom clothing. They could even work it into the story where, at the end of the game, one gets an item that gives more clothing options like a frequent buyers ticket or something.
This being said, X and Y are both amazing games. I love the true 3D effects (the ones in Black and White were cool, too, but they seemed a bit too static and out of place with the sprites) and I just love the mega evolutions. With a few more options (which I think are now possible with new technology), Pokemon can really re-invent itself while maintaining the standard setup. ^_^
