Is it still worth playing?
Kalos, a star shaped region modeled on France with a Paris called Lumiose City and a tower for an Eiffel, is the setting of this 2013 Pokémon game for the 3DS, sold alongside Y. It is the first in the main series drawn in full 3D after fifteen years of sprites. Seventy two new Pokémon appear, and the Fairy type is the first new type since Gold and Silver. In Mega Evolution a fully evolved Pokémon holding its Mega Stone evolves once more, for the fight only. You choose your trainer's gender, skin and hair for the first time, and Pokémon-Amie lets you pet and feed them on the touch screen. The adventure keeps the familiar structure, with HM moves like Cut and Surf opening paths and a sleeping Snorlax to wake. It was the series' first release worldwide at once. Mega Evolution still lets a Pokémon go one step further for the length of a fight.
