On October 12th, 2013, The Pokemon Company released Pokemon X and Y on Nintendo 3DS. Pokemon X and Y represented the sixth Pokemon generation, evolving the look and feel of the series in a significant way. Gone were the sprite-based graphics that had been a staple of the series since Red and Green, now replaced by a 3D style that would set the stage for later releases, such as Pokemon Sword and Shield. Every Pokemon fan has a generation that they hold near and dear to their hearts, and X and Y is no exception. On the seventh anniversary of the release, Pokemon fans took to social media to share their fondest memories of the game.
