Is it weird that X & Y are just under two months' away but we still don't have anything close to a completely detailed new Pokedex yet? So far we've really only heard about a dozen or so new Pokemon, not counting the Mega Evolutions.

I'm so used to there being a multi-month gap between US and JP Pokemon games that it's kind of odd to be this close without knowing the full Pokedex thanks to players with the JP version...

I wonder if the magazines are gonna kick things into high gear in September concerning the announcements.

Oh god that release is so close i can just smell that new game smell.

I'd be quite happy not knowing the full Pokedex when the game hits, it'll make things all that more interesting when playing. Gen 5 was kinda going for that but the gap between localisation spoiled it.

I'm actually kind of enjoying too much info being out, it means the adventure and monsters will be brand new to me, something that hasn't really been true since Diamond and Pearl.

(Still can't believe those games are 6 years old now!)

All of the Yes. Even not knowing the Starter's evolution lines is interesting because it keeps me from picking a starter based on the looks of the final evolution or even based on dual typing.

Leaning toward Froakie or Chespin, though.

I'm likely gonna get Chespin solely because everyone else on the planet is getting Fennekin :lol

I'm between Froakie and Chespin myself. Leaning toward Froakie, but then I've picked the water type 3 out of 5 times now.

Don't worry. I've picked grass 3 out of 5 times, too.
It's kind of hard to defend that you like fire when you're constantly picking the grass starter because it looks so much cooler :lol

I'll go for Froakie, looks awesome and would allow me to keep the elemental balance:

Fire: Charmander, Cyndaquil
Grass: Treecko, Snivy
Water: Piplup, Froakie

Funny thing is that it was completely accidental. :lol
