Pokémon Y was more than seven years after buying any previous classical pokemon game. During that pause, I bought just Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon.
I Liked Pokemon Y, because the difference between pokemon Emerald was huge, graphics way better, and I simply like Pokémon. But the game was not very challenging. I do not remember, that I lost any battle, which makes it my only Pokemon game with this result. I liked also the Pokémon Amie.
