Three? What's the third one? Or are you counting Ninetales separately?

Houndour/Houndoom, Flareon, and Growlithe/Arcanine are all dogs. Vulpix/Ninetales are foxes. Fennekin is a Fennec Fox... which may or may not actually be a type of fox (it's a subject of debate, apparently, amongst biologists).

Given that there are a heap of different types of dog in Pokemon, I don't see the harm in this being another Fire type fox-ish pokemon. Note that, amongst foxes, there's Vulpix/Ninetales (Fire), Zorua/Zoroark (Dark), and now Fennekin (Fire). That's not all that bad, after six generations. And there's no guarantee that Fennekin's evolutions will still be foxes, either (it's not uncommon for evolutions to change the species they're based on - extreme example being Remoraid->Octillery).

Maybe we'll finally have a difference between Male and Female Pokemon!

@Lafiel- I see your point, but major changes would only create rifts in the fanbase. It's possible some battles will be dynamic, but not all. At this point you'll know if you're going to get this game or not, nothing will change that. It's personal preference, after all.

kids are gonna be learning more than expected with this game!

No, but it confirms Pokemon YD: Gale of Light, for Wii U. :P

The Pokémans will be either genderless or shemales... (no offence if anyone is either)

I can't wait to see Pikachu's SSJ transformation.

Ohmergawd. I've been waiting for a 3D pokemon game for a while, and not the gamecube/stadium ones. An actual adventure game

With KH3D, resident evil revelations and now this, its becoming too much. Man, huge pokemon nerdgasm. Good news overall.

Yes. You forgot the Dragon Quest remake ! Though I think that game's in Japan only for the time being.

And yes, the line-up's amazing. 3DS to crush everything in 2013, portable or home console it doesn't matter.

DOOD GUISE, Do you think they will make this game available for download as well? Because it could have some supply issues if hype is big enough.

Does anyone here beside me think that deer (elk) is the new LIGHT type? The Y pokemon be its opposite in being Dark! Just a thought!
