But I never paid attention to which ones. So I googled it and most people said that Black and White had the best story, so that's the one I tried, and I can not get to the story. What I've played is nothing but grinding out random encounters and a reskinned Pokemon 1 with the option to play as a girl thrown in, and Mr Oak with a sex change. And while on my search I heard people complaining that Pokemon X/Y sucks because they tried to change something that was fundamental to a Pokemon game: the grind. People seriously enjoy grinding? Wut. That might also make it appeal to me, but then I'm afraid it's story is going to be even worse since it was not the one nominated for best story

Long story short, I guess Pokemon just isn't for me. But I can at least say I tried
The story on Pokémon X/Y is honestly kind of pathetic. Everything involved with the actual story sucks.

However, aside from the main "story", there's the world. Which is utterly fantastic. There's the journey you go on with your friends, which is great. The friends are all fairly well developed, and there's a good dynamic there. There's tons of atmosphere and world exploration, which is all great.

The story sucks, but there's so much more than that which is all worthwhile.
