1. Is it a good game for beginners? Like, is the story hard to follow, do I pretty much need to have played the past games?

Lol, no Pokemon games have connected stories. Even Black 2 and White 2 doesn't have any real major connection to the first games story-wise.

2. Is it alot different than past games?

Yes, for the better.

3. Is there a difference between X/Y?

Yeah, kinda, barely.

4. Can the games cross-play (not like me playing both, one playing one, one playing the other, see the next paragraph)

Yeah, they can.
