About time we had one, and what better time to start it than with the announcement of Pokemon X and Y for 3DS!

The worldwide release date just sweetens the deal.

Yea I know and the game all ready looks awesome so this is a pre-order for closer the time

When my friend posted it on Facebook I literally screamed! New Pokémon, with a huge change in graphics! They look wonderful. Looks like they took a few cues from Stadium. I'm also anticipating the new Legendary Mascots, for the first time since Ruby and Sapphire we get two drastically different mascots.

Generation V is very short compared to previous generations, though!

Oh so this was the BIG announcement that they showed on today? I mean it does look nice,but they need to work on the gameplay.I've played my share of pokemon games(heck,all of them cept black and white 2),and I always find myself bored after the Elite Four.I loved when they allowed you to go back to older areas.

I'm still waiting for a Pokemon game that lets you go back to an Old Area/Region of your choosing after you beat the Elite Four.That would be sweet.

Isn't it a huge announcement? I wasn't expecting anything close to this, the best I had hoped for was a Ruby and Sapphire remake.

I too usually felt a lack of drive after the Elite Four, but it was not because I was bored, though. It was mostly because after having beaten the Elite Four, I often felt betrayed at the sudden difficulty spike, implying that my efforts had been for naught. I also disliked that while the game remained relatively casual until the Elite Four, suddenly after the Elite Four you'd need to seriously EV-train, move-balance and selectively breed your Pokémon for any chance of progressing in the games. The Battle Frontier sections were always so hard for me.

However, I must admit a large part of this frustration is due to laziness and impatience. The games would be tremendously more fun if I only tried to make them so.

I think it would be quite unlikely to ever get a game that will let you choose a past region to return to, but we might get another Gold/Silver style game that lets you visit one former region. I'm hoping it's Hoenn.

Gen 6 is potential all over again! How exciting! So far Game Freak hasn't screwed up in any of the generations so I'm hopeful this will be another fun ride in the Pokémon world.

The legendaries are at least vastly different from each other...

But seem to fit in with old groups too much...

The presumably dark/dragon one could fit in with... well my first instinct was to say Reshiram and Zekrom, but it does look more bird-like, so I wanted to say the legendary birds, but then it doesn't really fit there either. So I guess it is unique.

But the dear is too obviously like the musketeer trio.

I really dig the fire fox starter, Fennekin. As usual I'll be picking it. Now we can only hope it's not fire/fighting...

I was kind of expecting this,just cause it's usually when they announce the new Pokemon games.Also the problem with the difficulty spike is that Pokemon went from a kids game to a serious game in like 2 seasons.lol.I just want it to be fun and laid back again,with a little bit of challenge,not a "My god I gotta grind for 3 days just to beat one gym trainer!" type of challenge.lol
