Dude. Dude.
Look at my name. You know I'm getting it. And I'm 18 years old. My first Poke' game was Sapphire, and I've been hooked ever since.
Whether or not people think Pokemon is unoriginal now, it doesn't matter cause Pokemon is as strong as ever. I see people commenting on Pokemon Black (5th gen) video with the same love I had for Pokemon as a kid. Somehow, like Disney movies, Pokemon knows how to stir up that childhood love.
There's something awesome about the games. You go on an adventure and conquer the world. I don't know how to explain it. But it's an awesome formula.
I know there's a few Pokemon fans on here. Face it guys, Pokemon is just as huge as Super Mario, Master Chief, etc. They're heavyweights and they're not going away anytime soon.
FEATURES IN THE NEW GAMES
- 3D Characters and Gameplay (think Pokemon Colosseum)
- Customizable character skin color, hair color, and clothing
- You can sit on benches
- Release date is October 2013 worldwide (you used to have to wait months after Japan got it first)
So....
[b]Are you going to buy/download Pokemon X or Y?[/b]

Maaaaybe. I don't have a 3DS right now, and what with plans to go to GDC next year, new consoles, a couple new games, and general college expenses, I'm pretty cash strapped. But X & Y are seriously tempting me to buy one. We've been begging Nintendo and Game Freak for [i]years[/i] for a full 3D conversion on a main series entry. I don't know if I can pass that up. I also think the starters so far look like some of the best since Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald.
