History YMMV / PokemonXandY

** [[YMMV/PokemonBlackAndWhite Once again]], the sole fact that the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' series is getting yet another generation has not gone well with those still fueled by the NostalgiaFilter that ''Pokémon'' should have ended with [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Generation II]]. On the other hand, fans are grateful that Generation VI marks the franchise's full-fledged jump to the Nintendo3DS (excluding [[VideoGame/PokemonRumble the]] [[VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon spinoffs]] that appeared before ''X and Y'').

** Also, lots of debate has sprung up over the new eeveelution, Ninfia/Sylveon, especially with regard to its typing.
* FridgeBrilliance: This generation is coming so suddenly because ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'' are supposed to be like ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' -- right down to the generation being so short (unless you lived in Japan, where the generation lasted longer). Also, for those who wish for a new type, which slyveon may hint at, Gen II was the only generation to add a new type!
** It ''feels'' short, because: a) Gens III and IV lasted 4 years apiece, not 3; and b) they intend to release them at the same time worldwide, unlike previous years wherein we'd wait a few months. Notaby, [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Gen. II]] & [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Gen. V]] both lasted roughly the same length - 3 years.

** Many comparisons have been drawn between Ninfia/Sylveon and [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Kyubey]].

* BrokenBase: While even the fans waiting for a ''VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'' [[VideoGameRemake remake]] are excited for this title, there's a slight break over, yet again, the Pokémon designs, specifically Chespin.
** Also: 3D models vs. sprites.

** Also, lots of debate has sprung up over the new eeveelution, Ninfia.

* MemeticMutation: In general, making crack theories centered around the Fire starter evolving into [[ItsTheSameSoItSucks yet another]] Fire/Fighting-type; specifically, stating that it'll be a kickboxer.

** many comparisons have been drawn between Ninfia and [[PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Kyubey]].

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Fennekin is the most popular of the three starters (being the Fire-type and a cool-looking fennec fox).
** Also, the legendaries, Xerneas and Yveltal, were very well received, with fanarts of them steadily multiplying through TheInternet, similar to Reshiram and Zekrom last generation.

** Some fans are angry with the jump to 3D, saying the overworld graphics are lackluster for the system. Others say this may be due to resolution issues or beta graphics. Even the battle graphics are disputed, as the 3D models are [[http://86bb71d19d3bcb79effc-d9e6924a0395cb1b5b9f03b7640d26eb.r91.cf1.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/pokemon-x-and-y-fennekin-screenshot.jpg still slightly weaker]] than those [[http://86bb71d19d3bcb79effc-d9e6924a0395cb1b5b9f03b7640d26eb.r91.cf1.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/pokemon-snap-charizard-screenshot.jpg of the N64]]. Considering what ''OcarinaOfTime'' and ''StarFox64'''s 3D remakes managed to pull off at an even earlier point in time, some attribute it to [[TheyJustDidntCare lack of effort]].

** Some fans are angry with the jump to 3D, saying the overworld graphics are lackluster for the system. Others say this may be due to resolution issues or beta graphics. However, everyone seems to agree the battle graphics are the best in the series to this point.

** Additionally, a Z chromosome also exists (but not in humans), so if they do not go by the obvious choice for the third game (which would be XX or XY), then the entire generation's title would also be a DoubleMeaningTitle.

** "Xerneas is "Majestic as Fuck"

** Did Generation V ended too quickly or did it have a good run with Unova that should be left at that?

** Was Generation V ended too quickly or did it have a good run with Unova that should be left at that? It depends on your viewpoint.

* MemeticMutation: "Xerneas is Majestic as Fuck" is quickly rising on social networks.

** Also, the legendaries, Xerneas and Yveltal, were very well received, with fanarts of them steadily multiplying through TheInternet. Of the two, though, Xerneas seems to be more affectionately revered due to MemeticMutation over its appearance.

*** In addition to that, the Z chromosome is paired with the W chromosome. so if they go the ''VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2'' route they could have ''Pokemon Z and W'' Versions.
** Also, the deer Legendary Xerneas is most probably based off of a Chital, AKA an Axis Deer. While the bird Yveltal takes a few visual cues from condors, its also draconian enough to be said to based off of a mythical Wyvern.

** HilariousInHindsight: There were some people who thought the male player character looked like the self-insert in ''AwkwardZombie''.

** Also, the legendaries, Xerneas and Yveltal, were very well received, with fanarts of them steadily multiplying through the internet; similar to Zekrom over Reshiram in Gen V. Of the two though, Xerneas seems to be more affectionately revered by several groups of fans and the fact it has a memetic mutation that arose from it's appearance.

** Also, the legendaries, Xerneas and Yveltal, were very well received, with fanarts of them steadily multiplying through the internet; similar to Zekrom over Reshiram in Gen V, though considering it's appearance in memetic mutations, Xerneas appears to be getting more love.
