X and Y are my favorite games in the Pokmon series.

The full 3D brought the world and the Pokemon to life in ways that previous entries could not. Amie allowed me to bond more with the little critters, viewing them more as living creatures than just tools. Seeing our bonds carry into battle added to the depth. I also appreciated the Amie mini-games as a change of pace. Customizing my trainer was a fun way to mix things up from time to time. Heck, being able to tip NPCs for nothing in return even helped make the world feel a little more alive.

The beginning was paced better than most games since Shauna would heal your Pokemon in the first forest, nullifying the need for constant backtracking to a Pokemon Center before you have a good team built up. The music had excellent variety to it. EV training was no longer a chore thanks to the fun mini-games surrounding it. Riding Pokemon provided interesting changes of pace. Horde battles could be surprisingly intense.

Some people found the games too easy, but I appreciated how I never needed to level grind during the story: that sometimes bogged down the concluding hours of past games for me. Instead, I could simply enjoy exploring the world with my Pokemon.

I was disappointed with the main character's friends and rivals, but I thought the story was adequate (though not in the same tier as BW). I did enjoy the post-ending content with Emma.

I know XY's not a popular choice, but that's my honest opinion.
