Amiibos: A one year story of hunting and collecting

November 21, 2014 is a day where Nintendo and its fans will look back on with a big smile.  Not only was it the release day for Super Smash Bros. on the Wii U, but it also marked the day where Nintendo released a little NFC figure that became so popular; they crashed websites, caused Black Friday type lines well after the holiday seasons, made Nintendo a millions of dollars, and in the process, still provided a fun alternative to various games that the player couldn’t get through without using these little things. Of course ladies and gentlemen, I am talking about AMIIBOS!

Pokémon X & Y

Pokémon X and Y for the Nintendo 3DS is the next installment in the Pokémon franchise and will be introducing a total of 69 new Pokémon for the 6th generation. Like every other Pokémon game before it, the game follows a linear storyline as events occur in a fixed order. Also like its predecessors it stars a young teenager with a dream of becoming the best Pokémon trainer in the region, the main goal in the game is to gather all 8 gym badges and eventually challenge the elite 4. The game takes place in the region of Kalos and the player gets to choose from Chespin, Fennekin or Froakie as their starter Pokémon and later in the game the player gets to choose Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle.
