I've been a fan of Pokémon since.. well it was first released, I remember my first Pokémon game was Pokémon Blue on the year of it's release and I was only very young and ever since I haven't stopped playing, I think the games are just awesome and very addictive, I've got a copy of (nearly) every Pokémon game I think, however some aren't working.
I remember speculations of the 5th Generation near the beginning of 2010 but wasn't sure wether they were true or not so I looked into it kind of but found nothing, one day I decided to go on Google News and type in 'Pokemon' (usually I'd check Serebii but I wasn't expecting anything major) and I remember seeing Zorua and Zoroark (and I remember that I used google because I was amazed that I found out such big news through something that I'd never use and now, I use it to check what's going on) and that got me intrested, then news, information and pictures started rolling in and I thought that it looked well.. awesome, as I wasn't too impressed with D/P/PT I was sure that this wouldn't be as good as previous games but once I got my hands on a copy of the Japanese version (I still remember tracking the game) I literally was attacthed, I coudn't stop playing and I was so addicted, so I stopped playing it because I wanted to wait for the English release so that I didn't spoil the rest of the storyline, even though I'd completed most of the game but ever since then and my experience I've just been overly excited awaiting the English release which has made me even more excited finding out the Release date (6th March) which means there's just below 60 days to wait and the day it comes out is the day I buy it!
Everything about the game is great, it's flawless, the music, the graphics, the cities, the storyline, the Pokémon, everything about this game I love it, much more prefere it to Pokémon Diamond & Pearl, which we're okay, really can't wait to get this in English, probally get White then Black then (if there is one) the 3rd game.
