Is it still worth playing?

Kalos, a star shaped region modeled on France with a Paris called Lumiose City, is the setting of this 2013 Pokémon for the 3DS, the other half of X and Y. It is the first in the main series drawn in full 3D after fifteen years of sprites. Y's legendary is Yveltal, a bird of destruction to X's stag of life, and the games are otherwise the same. There are 72 new Pokémon, the Fairy type is the first new type since Gold and Silver, and Mega Evolution lets a fully evolved Pokémon holding its Mega Stone go one step further for the length of a battle. Your trainer's looks are yours to choose for the first time, Pokémon-Amie pets and feeds a Pokémon on the touch screen, and the adventure keeps the familiar structure. It was the series' first release everywhere at once. The touch screen still lets you pet a Pokémon, and it fights harder for it.
