After capturing all 649 battling critters on Pokémon Black years ago, I swore I'd kicked the Poké-habit. Then Pokémon X/Y comes along, addressing just about every criticism I'd had with the series and proving to be an absolute must-play. Basic gameplay remains the same – catch and trade Pokémon, train them up and win countless battles against rival trainers. However, rather than simply pack the game with hundreds of new creatures (there are a relatively paltry 69 additions, bringing the total to a still-daunting 718), Nintendo has focused on new game mechanics. "Super Training" presents the biggest change – a selection of mini games that allow you to boost each Pokémon's base statistics (attack, defence, etc), which has huge ramifications for your team's success. Elsewhere, "Mega Evolution" lets already powerful characters become even stronger – a deciding factor. Add in a significant graphical upgrade and audio improvements and Pokémon X/Y is the series' zenith.
