Pokémon X & Y

Well, I saw that no one has published any post about the new coming out pokémon games. So, I thought it would be great to talk about them.

P.D: Amigos, sorry if my english sounds like a crap.

My interest in Pokemon died down after DP in 2007, I didn't even bother to get the Gold/Silver remakes and I skipped Black/White entirely.

Not really sure if I'll pick up XY. As I said I completely skipped the 5th generation as it felt like filler to begin with especially launching on the DS and being a short gen in general.

Maybe I'll wait for, "Z version" in two years from now and get that one.

That's too bad CC, because B/W was probably the most solid gen since G/S and the G/S remakes were great.

Like with all franchises I like, my love for PKMN comes and goes, I wasn't really hyped for B/W but I'm hyped for this one. I still kind of feel like B/W was wasted, it was as much of reboot as we'll ever get and it came out on a system that was about to release its successor. I'm excited for the upcoming games and I don't know why, maybe it just has been a long time since I really played PKMN, but anyway I'm unsure whether to get digital or a physical copy, I went into more detail on the Nintendo thread, in fact here it is:

Also in the future handheld of Nintendo it'll probably be backwards compatible with the physical game but maybe not digital downloads? I really don't know. I think if it has B.C. on physical then it's not much to have a "3DS" mode for digital games either but who knows.

I'm also unsure which version to get, this time we don't know the differences besides the legendary right? I always go for the "blue" version but I prefer the Y Legendary. And if there's no differences known I guess my choice has to be purely on the legendary.

Oh well, so how do people feel about Pokemon Bank? I cringed at the idea of annual payment but then I thought about how much I paid for Pokemon Ranch was and Pokemon Box and this is infinitely superior, not to mention I would gladly spend 5 dollars a year over having to do the palpark or dreamworld crap to transfer Pokemon over, in fact I'm going to have to do all that to get my PKMN to Pokemon bank.

Well, you can base your decision on which pokemons (exclusive of one edition or the other) do you like the most .

I'm getting X because I'm a black person and black people like things with the letter X on them.

In that case, Pokemon Y.

Pokemon Y's legendary Pokemon looks cooler

I'm actually pretty excited for the new X and Y. I got back into Pokemon again back in '09 with Firered, and really enjoyed playing through SoulSilver, White, and White 2.

It's really cool how you basically get 2 starters in the beginning of the game, a Kalos starter and a Kanto starter (and they get mega-evolutions!!) I plan on getting X, and my buddy is getting Y. He's gonna pick Fennekin and Squrtle, and I think I'm gonna go with Froakie and Bulbasaur.

Well I'm getting the game digitally in only 3 hours or so, I'll be playing until I fall asleep so probably about an hour after it finishes downloading if it's anything like last time with AC. I'll be getting X and if anyone wants to add me just post here or PM me, my Friend Code is in my signature.

Contemplating getting it digitally. I think I'm gonna see if the eShop even loads first. If I can get in and purchase the game I'll deal with a slow download if I need to. I have no other options of getting it early and I really want to play it NOW!

I'm impatient when it comes to games. It's awful.

Nobody cares what you're doing, dipsh*t.

Anyways, eShop dumped then came back up and there's no purchase button for X or Y yet.

Edit: Up, purchased and downloading. Time to put this baby in sleep mode and let it work.

Edit 2: Game looks and feels absolutely incredible. I'm in love with the series all over again.
