Right from the get go, the new art palette (teehee) is a huge step up from the already amazing looking Black and White (which is the only amazing thing about that season). Getting better and better, in terms of animation. So X and Y had a lot of fixing to do? Does it succeed?

In the games department, X and Y was absolutely revolutionary for the Pokemon franchise. It's always bittersweet, having a new generation of Pokemon come to an end.
