The WhatsNext verdict

If you want the classic Pokémon collecting and battling loop presented in a bright, fully 3D handheld world, Pokémon Y delivers that transformation well. Players seeking a demanding campaign, strong narrative, or substantial post-game may find it underdeveloped.

What it does best

What might put you off
