Nintendo's next sure-fire blockbuster, Pokemon X & Y, has received widespread acclaim from games critics across the UK and US.
CVG's own Pokemon X & Y review (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/432363/pokmon-x-and-y-review-3ds-2ds/) concluded that the game was "the first Pokémon game worthy of the 21st century" and gave it a near-perfect score of nine out of ten.

Eurogamer (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-10-04-pokemon-x-and-y-review) also marks it a near-perfect score, and writes: "The transition to 3D is smooth and natural and the multitudinous additions to the proven formula will excite even the most jaded Pokémon fanatic".
Polygon (http://www.polygon.com/2013/10/4/4800980/Pokemon-x-and-pokemon-y-review)'s reviewer said the 3DS game "made me feel like I was back on the middle school playground, vying for real-life superiority in battle and communing in trade. I didn't think games could still make me feel that way - but I'm so glad to be proven wrong".
GameInformer (http://www.gameinformer.com/games/pokmon_x/b/3ds/archive/2013/10/04/pokemon-x-y-game-informer-review.aspx?utm_content=buffer0a9e1&utm_source=buffer&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Buffer) gives it an 8.75, stating it "does not break the mould of what we expect when we play a Pokémon game, but does go down the check-list of important Pokémon features, neatly ticking them off one by one".
