He Sir! You've seen the first videos from Johto games? It was on Pokemon Sunday (okay, only fifteen seconds.. bit disappointing XD) but now it's all over Youtube. It looks epic :D Really D&P style. I only think it's annoying if your starter's gonna follow you.. perhaps in the beginning it's fun, but I'm sure in the end I'll be like 'arghh, why can't I ever walk alone?' XD
