@NintendoAmerica Hang on, I can't actually see my favorite games. Let me zoom in a little...
In summation, despite simply being a great entry into the series, Pokemon XY were games (the last ones to date, really) that really represented what I loved most about the franchise, the potential it possessed (and still does), and my experience playing them outweighed any flaws.
Mega Evolution was a fantastic mechanic that really pushed the boundaries of what Pokemon were capable of in ways I think we all liked to imagine when we played the games as kids. It was a distinctly anime feeling of pushing beyond your limits that never stopped being hype.
