Gen 6 Will Pokemon X/Y stay relevant for a long time?

[18]

I finished Pokemon X yesterday. Today I realized just how big the post-game is, with Friend Safari and Battle Maison and breeding and training and all, and I'm considering setting up services of my own at once point if I'm good enough - which is a ways off now, leading me to the question:

Do you think Pokemon X/Y will stay relevant, with tons of people trading and playing it, for a long time?

I think yes, especially because they're compatible with OR/AS and all I know popular games like these have a long, almost eternal, life (heck, there are figuratively a million matches on the original Half-Life's multiplayer at any time, and that game is the best part of two decades old now). Do you see yourself still playing and trading Gen 6 in 2016 and beyond?

maybe but probably not

Yup, especially if the Gen 4 remake will be a Gen 6-compatible game (in the sense where you can use Pokémon from those games, or if the Gen 4 remakes actually uses the same features as X/Y/OR/AS, making them compatible. Plus, I'd get it only if it's original 3DS compatible.)

So, yes, X/Y, just like OR/AS will remain relevant for quite a long time. After all, Gen 6 is still a bit new.

Yes, I was happy to found X/Y and OR/AS can transfer Pokémon freely between them. That makes those four the 6th generation. I like when Pokémon transfer is as simple as can be, nothing like PokéBank+PokéTransporter ¬¬

I will and still play pokemon x if i do not get a new pokemon game and even if i do i will still play this game,if i had the internet needed to play it,i would never stop playing this game and would be probably battling a trainer online if i had the internet.

 

[semajriah]

for sure. It's graphics are just as good as Pokemon XD gale of darkness, with all the updates, etc.

I'll still play the ingame story a lot, but I don't think anybody uses the online features anymore. ORAS has the same online features but with new mega evolutions. There are not that many people playing battle spot in Pokemon XY. Nobody uses the GTS in XY anymore too.

Just what I had to say...

 

[Barmont]

For new players, the main reason why XY will still be relevant is because is possible to complete the PokéDex just with X,Y,Omega and Alpha.

I think it will still be relevant. It added a lot to the Pokemon games. Also, based on my battles, a lot of people seem to have X/Y rather than Omega Ruby. I think the competitive side will stay strong in X/Y ( I think... ) But.. we never know what'll happen. Let's hope Nintendo is done with Pokemon Games After Z comes out. (If it does xP)

To me I think that Pokemon X and Y will stay very strong because it was a very memorable game and I know that people are still playing it to this date . People I believe are still playing battle spot and GTS trade and it is also compatable with Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire so I hope that that generation will stay very strong . People were so very excited for X and Y but they weren't so excited for ORAS . I too included

I think X/Y will stay relevant for quite some time. Since it connects with ORAS, it allows players to wait patiently for ORAS' price to go down and still be able to play with other ORAS players. I think Game Freak was smart to connect X/Y to ORAS because it doesn't let other players who do not have ORAS yet, feel left out. Sadly, the new ORAS items and megas are not compatible with X/Y so that is a very big restriction between them. However, this does not really bring down their connection to each other.

Pokemon XY will last long without a doubt. It has got so good graphics and plus the game content is awesome too. With GTS, wonder trades and a million more things, XY is unbeatable.
