Really surprised to receive a sealed, with new or original, box with everything in it like you bought it on release day.

I bought this to replace an old failed cartridge. I was worried about this being the world edition and not the US edition, but it plays in my 3DS just fine with no issues.

I've got six badges so far, so I feel like I've seen enough of the game to make a review based on actual game-play rather than preconceived notions. I've only been playing Pokemon since HG/SS, so I'm definitely not a genwunner. I'm also not into competitive battling, so I won't really be talking too much about that, or things like the new fairy type. Those are topics for discussion on forums, not a game review. Since most of the changes are the online features, I'll probably discuss those more than anything else. For starters, yes, it is the same as every other Pokemon so far. The same introduction, pick your starter, battle random trainers and gym leaders, collect badges, defeat the champ. The same limitations of having a party of six, with each having a max of four active moves. If you stop and think, everything else is gravy: story, graphics, music, etc. The fundamental mechanics are the same, and I think that is quite frankly the majority of the reason for the franchise's staying power. You can pick up any gen game, and knowing your basic types, weaknesses, etc, you'll know how to play. A lot of the changes in this generation are based mostly around the online features, some of which were only in their beginnings in BW/B2W2. But you no longer have to find a Pokemon Center to participate in the online functions, they're all right on the screen. You can turn the online functions on and off at will. Probably the most interesting is the PSS, the Player Search System. Like most native 3DS games, this game integrates with the 3DS friend codes, so you no longer have to manage separate friend codes. You just add their 3DS code to the 3DS friends app, and then you can see their status in-game. Now while you're in game, you can see their status: player profile, badges, and other things. You can battle, trade or chat with them. Pretty much like in the old Union Rooms, but not as limited as the Union Rooms were. Over time, you'll see people being added to the PSS, under the headings of acquaintances and passerbys. Acquaintances are added as you interact with other remote players via the global trade, battles, etc. I'm not exactly sure how passerby's work, but I think they just are random people who appear on your screen; again, you can interact with them in all the same manners. One thing I enjoy so far is the "wonder trade", which is a random trade matchup: you chose which Pokemon you want to trade, and it'll find someone in the world, and you get what you get. You might get trash Pokemon, or you might get something good. Beyond the online features are all the other changes to the game. Music is awesome, no longer grating to the ears (altho I'm a chiptune fan, you can only listen to the Pokecenter music for so long without wanting to stab your eyes out). The graphics are fantastic, altho I do not play in 3D mode. The avatars are nicely customizable. After a long-winded review, I'll just close with that I think this is a great addition to the franchise. Post-game edit: I beat the champ in about 5 days, less than 25 logged playing. This is by far the easiest version I've played. Each gym, elite and champ, I was able beat in one attempt. I never felt it necessary to rethink my team, go back and grind up, or anything of that nature. I also played straight thru with my starter, Fennekin, in slot one. She was KO'ed a few times, but I never considered retiring her. With Exp Share, even my HM slaves become viable. I'm still exploring post-game play, and since I have tried to refrain from strat guides, I don't know how extensive post-game is yet. So far, I've found a side-arc of working in a detective agency, and found daily jobs at a hotel. I found two stationary legendaries to catch, and ran into one roaming legendary but do not know how to catch it yet. I did not find anything similar to BW2's Join Ave, or the little and big stadiums, with their daily battles, but I'm probably not searching hard enough.

Having been a big Pokemon nerd as a lad, this was one of my primary reasons for buying a 3DS. For many years I had been an "anti-new gen" guy, but once I got past that, I realized how much fun it was to have all these new pokemon to discover all over again. Because there are already a vast number of great reviews entailing what makes this game a good one, I'll just highlight on what I liked and didn't like. What I Liked: + Trainer customization! Aside from being able to choose from three skin types at the start of the game, there's a large variety and a decent slew of hair styles to choose from to make you feel unique (and far more so if you play a female). + EXP Share allows your entire party to share in the EXP you gain from battling, regardless if you switched to them or not. You get this early on which is nice, but if you keep it on the entire game, you end up overleveling, making the game too easy. + Reusable TMs! Before Black/White, the TMs (or "Technical Machines") you found along your travels could only be used once, meaning you could only teach it to one Pokemon, then throw it away. But now, you can reuse it as many times as you want. + Fully 3D-rendered environments, as well as the change from sprites to models for every Pokemon in existence, and they were done very well. + Pokemon affection (gained via "Pokemon Amie" minigames) will have positive outcomes when battling. For example, occasionally your Pokemon can shrug off ailments, dodge attacks, or endure hits that would otherwise knock them out. + Horde Mode (encountering five Pokemon at a time) makes for faster leveling and shiny hunting + Trainer PR videos allow you to create your own unique intro for yourself for other players online to view at their leasure. What I Didn't Like: - Still incredibly formulaic. I was pleasantly surprised by some changes that they took to give you a story beyond becoming the Pokemon League champion, but it's still nothing all that special. I took a star off of my review because of this, having played through the same Pokemon experience over and over without anything really changing. - It feels like a really goofy kid's game at times. Perhaps that was true for Pokemon X's predecessors, but this one especially so. - Hair Salons should have an interface and system like boutiques, which allow you to browse before you buy. - Frame rate drops in some environments, with the 3D on. - Constant dialog confirmations are extremely annoying. They've been with the series since Red/Blue, and I wish they would just get rid of the amount of them. Examples of what I mean are things like, "The water is blue. Would you like to use Surf," or "there's a tree here, would you like to use cut?" or asking if you'd like to use this item on which Pokemon. - Pokemon Amie is a fun little mini-game at first, but it can get to be an annoying grind after a while when you're raising affection for your main party. Overall definitely worth the buy, I enjoyed it greatly. Somewhat short in terms of content, but not terribly. There's still lots to do after the Elite Four, especially if you're into multiplayer, IV breeding, and EV training.
