Pokémon X & Y vs. Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu & Let’s Go Eevee: Full Comparison

Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu & Let’s Go Eevee is a fun remake of the original Pokémon series. It allowed players to enjoy Blue and Red with Pikachu or Eevee. The game had so many noticeable changes while still keeping the charm of the original series. Pokémon X & Y is a different matter entirely.

Pokémon X and Y, released in 2013, marked a significant milestone in the Pokémon franchise. These games introduced players to the Kalos region, a breathtaking world inspired by France. It ushered in the era of 3D graphics in mainline Pokémon titles. With an array of new features and a roster of over 70 new Pokémon species, X and Y revitalized the Pokémon experience.

In this article, we will compare the captivating world of Pokémon X and Y. We’ll compare it with the more recent release, Pokémon Let’s Go.
