Pokémon goes fully 3D in the France-inspired Kalos region. It introduced Mega Evolution and the Fairy type, and launched worldwide on the same day.
Kit's verdict · 7.8/10
A gorgeous leap into 3D with a story and difficulty that both feel undercooked.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Mega Evolution is a thrill
- Fairy type fixes Dragon dominance
- Huge variety of wild Pokémon
Not so much
- Far too easy with the new Exp. Share
- Lumiose City is a maze
Play it if newcomers and anyone who wants a relaxed, pretty Pokémon trip.
Skip it if veterans who want a real challenge.

Tips
Play it better
- Turn the Exp. Share off if you want any challenge; it gives your whole team experience.
- Use Super Training on the bottom screen to max out stats without hunting specific wild Pokémon.
- Play and feed Pokémon in Pokémon-Amie; affection makes them dodge attacks and land more critical hits.
- Grab one of the classic Kanto starters from Professor Sycamore in Lumiose City early in the game.
- Fairy moves crush Dragon types, so they're your answer to late-game dragons.
- Roller skates let you grind rails and do tricks; it's faster than walking.
