The 10th Best Thing I Played In 2015

Pokemon Y

I like Pokemon. Simple as that. It's a fun, simple RPG to play. With my brand spanking new 3DS, I decided to pick up the fairly acclaimed 6th Generation of games with X and Y.

Unfortunately, after the truly brilliant Black & White, I found Y somewhat disappointing. The story is decidedly a step down. The new polygon-based visuals were exciting to me pre-release, but when seeing them in action they look a lot worse than the beautiful sprite-based battles of the previous generation game.

All that aside, Pokemon Y is a Pokemon game, and that means it's creative, and a whole lot of fun. It may be a step down from its immediate predecessors, but I still loved playing through this thing.
