6. Graphics
Pokémon takes every advantage of the 3DS's processing power it can. The art direction is incredible, and the whole game flows nicely. The graphics in any other game does not compete at all with X and Y. Many fans don't like how the whole game isn't in 3D, however, the game does make up for it by the new look has. Pokémon Black and White had a similar look in the design, but the 3DS lets the makers take it a step further. Characters are no longer pixelated looking, and the quality of the architecture is far better. It was a revolution in gaming when Hyrule became realistic in "Ocarina of Time." Pokémon is simply following in their footsteps, and they make it work well. Most people play games to step away from reality. All the Pokémon franchise has done so far is create a world that the public has grown to love. X and Y takes full use of the 3DS in making this more realistic, so we can further explore the world of Pokémon.
