Pokemon X/Y

[BreakABone]

A new Pokemon adventure is due this weekend.

Curious to see if anyone is going to pick it up, and if so which version X or Y?

Going to be downloading Y on the eshop at midnight.

Probably going to start with the Grass starter, although I have to say, I think the final evolution form of all the starters is really terrible.

I like how you get to choose a starter from the first generation as well. I may just roll with Bulbasaur as my primary grass pokemon instead of the new starter.

So going grass and grass?

I'm forgoing Froakie because I can get Squirtle early in the game... thinking may go fire.

I always pick the grass starter. I can't wait to have another Bulbasaur.

I'm considering picking up Froakie just because I am getting Bulbasaur, but it feels wrong not to get the grass type.

I'm a few generations behind! I just might start playing Pokémon Diamond.

I would say skip Diamond and play either Black/White ( 1 or 2, doesn't matter) or HeartGold/SoulSilver. Both of those are pretty decent upgrades over Diamond/Pearl. Specifically, Black/White let you use TM's as many times as you want. HeartGold/SoulSilver has an amazing PC management system and you can have a pokemon follow you around on the screen. Not to mention the world is just huge and it has that nostalgia factor.

Ok, I caved in and bought Pokémon X!! :o

They had a deal where the 2nd Nintendo game came for half price. So I bought PKMN X and New Super Luigi U.

I won't start it yet, I want to finish some Zeldas first.

Did you switch names to respond to yourself?

Well, I mostly play the games to familiarize myself with new Pokémon. That rules out HeartSoul/GoldSilver. And I have Diamond on cartridge, while I'd have to 'find' Black/White. So I'm still leaning towards Diamond.

HeartGold/SoulSilver isn't a direct port - it has pokemon from Diamond/Pearl in it.

Nah I reinstalled my PC and I forgot under which account I was posting lately.

[Ginkasa]

I have X. First new new Pokemon for me since Gold and Silver. I did get the remake games, though. Anyway, I dig.

By the way, I'm thinking about trading my X for Y. I found out that X is selling MUCH better than Y. So if I want to trade, my chances will be higher if I picked Y.
