Analying Post-1990 Games: Pokemon Y

If you grew up in the 90s like I did then you know there was three big things that made the decade as a kid. Toonami if you had Cartoon Network, Power Rangers when you were a little kids and more importantly Pokemon. Why am I waxing nostalgic? Because yesterday I just received the latest in the Pokemon series. The game is the same as you grew up with, you are a kid from a small town leaving home for the first time, you go to your local professor and get your first pokemon of three types Water, Fire, and Grass. You face off against gym leaders, villinous teams and your rival...not very different right? Wrong.

This time the adventure is in full 3d, that's right no more sprites. The camera moves and pulls in dynamic giving the game feeling of  life. If your a veteran of the series you will not have a hard time...but there is more than enough content to keep it interesting. And with they ability to catch 450 pokemon...just in-game you will have lots to do. The soundtrack and sounds have all been upgraded with even  some tracks old fans will recognized. Gamefreak has put a lot of love in the game making pokemon a different experience....now if only they can give us difficulty levels....
