*M. 1, 3, & 21 - The beam break in the RH is unnecessary. Highlight the broken note, and press "/" to fix this.
*M. everywhere - RHYTHM NOTATION. The melody is highly syncopated, so you gotta show the 3rd beat.
--Example, measure 2 ~~ The RH should be written as quarter, 8th, 8th-tied-8th, dotted quarter.
--Apply similar in measures 4-8, 10, 18, 22, 25-28, 30, and the LH of m. 31.
*Fix the measure layout to be 4 measures per system. This will fill up the two pages whole (achieving optimization of space), and will prevent from having a nasty stretched out 3 measure system at the end.
*Change the title to "Pokémon X/Y'
*Fix the URL to http://www.NinSheetMusic.org/

Is this correct or no? Also I'm not too sure about m.31. Should I make some of those notes rests to keep the stacatto?
Nice job!
I only have time for a little feedback.
- Measure 10 2nd beat: You don't need that tied and in the original it's short. So, change it to an untied eighth with an eight rest.
- Measure 11 & 12: There are a few wrong melody notes through here.
- Measure 31: I never put staccatos on ties so I would put an eighth and then an eighth rest for those both.
- As it says in G-Han's rules, you will need at least one dynamic.

Also I can't tell where the wrong notes are :P
(btw I'll add a dynamic soon, I didn't have time to add it in now)
I don't see anything wrong with m.11
First two notes of m.12 should be a Bb below, then a D below.
Also, I think the B naturals in 13-14 should be C flats?

Whoops.....my bad. Measure 12

Yes.
Also, the arrangement seems a little sparse in general... maybe incorporate some of the chord backing in the RH where suitable.
The arrangement needs dynamics.
Maybe like this:
measure 1: mf
measure 10: 4th beat cresc.
measure 11: f
measure 14: dim.
measure 17: mf
also measure 11-16: I think it would be nice if you added octaves to those notes one octave higher. In measure 11 one notes one octave higher, and then in measure 12 3rd beat, add a low octave to the D, and in measures 14-15 add octaves one octave higher.

Have you seen Justin Ang's arrangement of this Braix? I normally don't like any of his arrangements, but this one at least shows what I had in mind about expanding some of the harmonies without adding any undue difficulty.

...and also, our very own DuskPiano of NSM-land made a very nice arrangement as well of Lumiose City for his X/Y medley, which you could also draw ideas from:

Braix yoohoooo~
Holy crap where was I
Oh
I'll get back to this sorry ahaha
Edited the post with updated links.
Nice! Now we have some meat that we can pound.
Using layers when appropriate will greatly enhance the clarity of your notation. For example, instead of smashing everything together in layer 1 in m. 1-4, keep the melody distinct from your harmonies by using layers:
(https://www.ninsheetmusic.org/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1111.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fh475%2FBespinben%2Flayerlumiose_zpsukcxq3cf.jpg&hash=5e3ca5bc9fc9cbbc508ee64b4b3ea4443b8cf567) (http://s1111.photobucket.com/user/Bespinben/media/layerlumiose_zpsukcxq3cf.jpg.html)
This doesn't always need to be the case, however. When the harmonies are in rhythmic unison with melody throughout a measure, it's often desirable to write both melody and harmony together in the same layer. Such is the case with m. 5-7.
Measures 5-7 have a different problem. Although they are layered correctly, the way the rhythms are spelled is redundant. It's not necessary here to show each individual beat in the RH, except beat 3. Therefore, it should be spelled as dotted quarter, 8th-tied-quarter, quarter. Apply this principle in m. 22, 25-28, & 30.
Also, remember to capitalize the URL (should read exactly as http://www.NinSheetMusic.org/), and add quotation marks around the Title of the arrangement.
What should I do with the rests that show up on the second layer? Do I keep them in? I'm particularly confused with m.18-19
Updated the links!
Erm?

LOL WHOOPS
Fixing that now ^^"
(new links are up)
- Change game title to "Pokémon X & Pokémon Y", copyright to "Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, GameFreak © 2013"
- Those are some really big chords you got there in measure 12 and 17, toss the low B to the LH maybe in 12 and for 17, uh... take something out or roll it?
- Measure 12, beat 4 doesn't exist - it should be a 3/4 measure.
- Measure 8 and 18 you have a eighth tied to quarter in layer 1 and dotted quarter in layer 2. Change layer 1 to dotted quarter (like you have in the other measures).
- Measures 23-24, maybe incorporate some of the background voices for RH?
- Measure 30, you can combine layers.
- Measures 31-32, LH - Use dotted quarter again. Also is the voice really that low? Could we move it up an octave?
Fixed. For those last measures I thought it sounded strange when I raised it up an octave so I added some notes is that okay?
bump
anyone have more suggestions?
