Pokemon X and Pokemon Y - October 2013

[A Forgotten Legend]

OMG OMG OMG ITS SO BEAUTIFUL.

Its basically a new gen, only the graphics look more like a console game for the 3DS.  Its... beautiful.

And they are releasing it EVERYWHERE at the SAME TIME.  I'm dying right now.  I'm so glad I stayed up for this.

Okay, yeah, that does indeed look pretty awesome.

The new mons are still stupid, though.

[A Forgotten Legend]

I like the new fire type.  All the starters seem pretty different compared to starters in the past.  I mean, the fire starter is pretty cool.  I'm interested to see their evolved forms.

Grass starter reminds too much about oshawott. But it looks great. Guess it was just a matter of time before they went from animated sprites to actual 3d.
I'm glad that they went with a more cellshaded style though. HD graphics on pokemon would just make them look metallic.

So Octboer then, can't wait.

[Meiscool]

Picking fire, if I ever even play it.

[Archem]

Well jeez, I'm happy. Look at that fire starter. Looks a little like an Eevee, right? I guess I'll be picking fire once again.

I've only ever picked a non-fire starter one time, and that's in Black 2.

[fruckert]

I usually roll water, for whatever reason.
Probably because it made Brock really ridiculously easy and that was always fun.

I'll have to be getting a 3DS before I purchase this, and that's not very likely... We'll see what happens, I dig the graphics but I'm finding it hard to get excited about buying another pokemon game. Also, those legendaries look dumb as hell.

[daoman89]

I still haven't done everything in Black 2...

[SaiKar]

Huh. A Pokemon game that doesn't look like a slightly souped up version of red and blue. It's about damn time. This might be enough to get me back interested in the series.

Also, dat fire starter man. So awesome.

[Moosetroop11]

Alas, I also think the fire starter looks the best. Conforming is poop!

Anyway, I promised myself I'd buy a 3DS if I needed it to play pokemon so I guess I'm getting one! I'm never not buying a new gen pokemon game. Never ever.

I agree the legendaries look rubbish but then... They always do! I haven't liked the legendaries since gold and silver...

[Archem]

The flying one looks pretty rad. The deer-*** one looks ***.

[SaiKar]

I agree the legendaries look rubbish but then... They always do! I haven't liked the legendaries since gold and silver...

Giratina had an awesome, totally foreign alien menace thing going. But yeah. Lugia and Ho-oh were surprisingly rad.

[Apex]

I really hope the game play is faster. I'm doubting they ever change much as far as the battle system goes, due to the mass hysteria that would cause to the hardcore fans.

[Bluhman]

Fennekin is just wannabe Vulpix.
