Pokémon X and Y/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** If you're playing the X version and choose to use Xerneas right when you catch it, you ''severely'' defang {{Spoiler|Lysandre}}'s final fight. Xerneas is a powerful Pokemon, and most of his Pokemon, including his ace (Mega Gyarados) are weak to its Fairy moves. To keep a long story short, they'll be utterly annihilated (Unless Mega Gyarados survives and nails you with Iron Head. Then things go to hell in a handbasket) save for his Pyroar, who still struggles to put up a good fight against it. In Y, he's able to preserve his status as [[That One Boss]] since Yveltal's Dark typing doesn't help much against his team.

** Even though he's the final Gym Leader, Wulfric is still an Ice specialist. [[Tier-Induced Scrappy|With a ''ton'' of slower defense-oriented Ice types.]] Thanks to Ice's terrible defensive typing and surplus of weaknesses, you can easily wipe him out without breaking a sweat, something he acknowledges in his pre-battle dialogue.

* [[Author's Saving Throw]]: This game ''finally'' puts an end to the irritating sounds that plague players when their Pokemon's health is low. [[Pokémon Black and White]] already tried to solve this by remixing the low-health beeping into a tense song, but ''that'' turned out to be annoying due to often interrupting the game's amazing battle music. Here, the tune is done away with entirely and the beeping only lasts very briefly before falling quiet.

* [[Base Breaker]]: There are plenty of debates on whether {{Spoiler|Lysandre}} is a good villain or not. {{Spoiler|To his fans, he's a fascinating and complex character whose more sympathetic traits such as his genuine sorrow over condemning innocent Pokemon to death as well as his cut-and-dry mental illness help him stand out among most of the franchise's more unashamedly heartless villains. Those that hate him view him as a cheap knockoff of Cyrus from D/P/Pl, down to having similar motivations and even half his team copy-pasted from Cyrus's.}} Then there's a third camp who views him favorably for similar reasons as the first, but agree that he was executed poorly.
