Summary
A dedicatedPokemon X and Yfan has beaten the games 18 times in a row, playing with different outfits based on distinct creature types in each playthrough. ManyPokemonfans play games with self-imposed challenges, but this fan followed a pretty unusual path in beating the popularPokemon X and Y.
Pokemon X and Ywere released in 2013, starting the sixth generation of the franchise. At the time,Pokemon X and Yreceived positive reviews, becoming one of the highest-rated mainline entries in the series. While some critics disliked the game’s plot, most consideredX and Yto have deeper battle mechanics, and praised the customization options, which allowed gamers to change their main character’s skin tone, hair, and clothes.
Now, a hardcorePokemon X and Yfan called Hauntedtrousers has revealed that they took these games’ customization to the next level by beating them 18 times using different clothes on each playthrough. Each time Hauntedtrousers playedPokemon X and Y, they carefully selected and wore different outfits that matched a type, only using Pokemon from the same type during each run. For example, they picked a brown coat for the Rock-type run and a yellow dress for the Electric-type playthrough. In the comments of the post, Hauntedtrousers clarified that part of the motivation for playing so many times is that these clothes are very expensive in the game, and it would be impossible to purchase all outfits during the same run.Pokemon X and Yis often considered one ofthe bestPokemongames ever made, and Hauntedtrousers’ post was very popular with the community, obtaining over 13,000 upvotes.
Pokemon X and Y Fan Plays the Game 18 Times With Different Outfits for Each Playthrough
In the post’s comments, several gamers expressed frustration about howPokemongames afterX and Ywere far more limited in character customization. Other fans wished that the upcomingPokemon Legends: Z-Acould double down on character customization, especially considering how the game is inspired by 19th-century Paris, a city known for its fashion.
Using only one type of Pokemon is just a single way to makePokemonruns harder or more unique, though. The community currently has several kinds ofPokemonchallenges, including the popular Nuzlocke runs, which consider all Fainted Pokemon as dead for the playthrough and only allow players to catch the first creature they find in a new area. Other popular challenges include not using Super Effective moves during fights, putting only Pokemon hatched from eggs in the group, capturing solely a team of six Pokemon, and more.

WHERE TO PLAY
Look for all-new Fairy-type Pokémon, the first new Pokémon type since Dark-type and Steel-type Pokémon were introduced almost a decade ago. Fairy-type moves are super effective against Dragon-type Pokémon. One such Fairy-type Pokémon to meet is Sylveon, the new evolved form of Eevee! All-new battle formats are fun for new players and Pokémon pros. Sky Battles feature duels between Pokémon that can fly, and Horde encounters are massive competitions where one of your Pokémon faces many wild Pokémon at once! These new modes will challenge every Pokémon Trainer. In addition to new battle types, you can also care for your Pokémon with the Pokémon-Amie feature. Feed, pet, and play with your Pokémon to increase your bond. The more you play with your Pokémon, the friendlier they’ll become—and perhaps perform better for you in battle.
