I can't wait for this, but I really hope X and Y are just placeholders, they don't sound like real names.
I'm kind of disappointed that they didn't do more with the graphics, the 3DS is capable of much more than that. But I didn't really expect any more since this keeps it in the same style as previous generations.
However, something with graphics like the GC/Wii games, perhaps even improved more would look great on the 3DS.
And judging from the starters, the lineup of new Pokemon is probably gonna be the worst one yet. The Grass starter looks like a different Pokemon in a green costume, and Froakie just looks bad, the head's shape is all weird and the name is retarded. So I guess my starter is decided... easiest starter choice yet.
Holy crap! That certainly is a huge jump for the francise!
And here I thought ninty was going to make another slightly better looking game than B2/W2!
To me that's pretty much what this is. All they did was change the characters to 3D and improve the textures. But they haven't shown what the battle screen is like, it might still be in 2D. They showed attacks, but they might be part of a cutscene and not what the normal battle screen looks like.
Edit: Oh, and they make better use of camera angles, which means this game will probably make great use of the 3D effect.
I don't know about you guys, but does the dude remind you of Hilbert of BW?
And while Froakie may be my least favourite, I still think Froakkie > Oshawott
*runs away*
I prefer Oshawott. Especially after it evolves.
