I'm honestly surprised it took them this long, but I thought after the B/W gen they'd lay off with the new games. Part of me sighs at yet another one when I've barely started White 2 and each game keeps getting more complex, but wow this game looks good.
Its going to be so cool to see what they do with the 3DS! I'm curious what the streetpass feature will be like, I hope its cooler than trading trainer cards or something.
I'm totally picking Fennekin, but for once in a long while I really like all the starters. I definitely want them all.
I also really like the legendaries, which I havn't in a while- I was getting tired of the weird dragon-things. Some of the Pokemon were just getting to bizarre.
I'll probably be picking X.
So, how many new Pokemon are they adding? I hope its not another hundred. I'd be happy if they just added a handful and kept the rest of the old ones. It'll be so cool seeing them all animated! But I don't want to deal with learning a ton more strange Pokemon
crying It would rock if they add more Eevee evolutions! I hope they're as cool a lot of the fan-made evolutions I've seen.
I'd really like to see more baby/evolved forms for existing Pokemon than totally new Pokemon too.
I'm sure there will be a movie or something about the new stuff, and some new promo legendaries.
