I have Pokemon X. Pokemon X and Y have the same storyline and pokemon with little differences like a different legendary and certain pokemon only avaliable to that certain game. I've been playing Pokemon since....forever lol. I even got to play Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow once. Pokemon is a fun game with a simple objective. Get your Pokemon team together, level them up, battle and become the Pokemon Champion after beating the Pokemon League. I'd suggest that if you can go to a movie/video store where you can rent the game, to do that first, instead of paying over $40 for the game and turns out that you don't like it. With the Wifi and friend Safari codes, you can make friends and trade with people all around the world! Which i think is awesome because I never got the trading to work on the older games lol.
