Oh ya will be going fire starter like I always do, hopefully the final form of this gen is better than the last two gens.

Blaziken was glorious but didnt like Infernape or Emboar forms.

4get Fenniken, Chespin is the way to go! Pokemon Z i will get Froakie! This gen will finally make me get a starter since gen II

I will buying Pokémon Y and will definately choose Chespin first, at the moment he has my second favorite design for a grass starter.

Fennekin for me and I'm totally hyped for the games ...Yeah, they look like they are set in my neighborhood but whatever

There is one thing I'd love you guys help me figure out: When I showed the trailers to my girlfriend (who plays Pokémon and owns a 3DS XL) I totally expected her to say: "Ugh, what's with the (3D) graphics?" because she doesn't like 3D Mario or 3D Zelda and highly prefers 2D games in general. But when she saw it she was like: "Wow! They FINALLY made it look real!" I was totally taken aback Turns out she didn't like the 2D style of Pokémon games past. My theory is: People are not afraid of 3D games in general - they just don't like the ones with complex controls (analog control, lots of buttons, etc.). That would explain why Final Fantasy and Zelda exploded when they went 3D (3D didn't make them more complicated but made them look better to the mass market) and it would point a bright picture for the future of Pokémon games.

So if you have any friends casually playing Pokémon ask them what they think of the art style and the 3D and if they'd buy a 3D Pokémon over a 2D one. I'm really curious about that

Liked the new looks of the OP . Can't wait for Pokemon X/Y, i'm really, really excited for them and I've seen the Trailer at least over a dozen time already xD.

I'm with a lot of people here, i'm going to go and break my Water type starter only tradition (which has been around since Gold/Silver) and choose Fennekin this time around (Froakie just doesn't do it for me).

My main version is probably going to be pokemon Y. Yveltal looks completely amazing and jf it performs as good as it looks, then it can earn a place amongst my top pokemon.

I would have preferred you made a new thread (since a lot of these posts don't need to be here anymore, and it's no longer cohesive), but I'm glad you're going to keep an official thread updated. =)
