I just saw this, and I'm really excited about it! I really like the riding idea, though apparently that's only possible in Miare City. I like the Pokedex design, seems sharp and modern. As for the character customization, I don't really care about it, I wouldn't have minded playing as a blonde even though I'm not one.
And the new Pokemon! I love Yanchamu (the panda), he looks so cute, and I bet his evolution will be really cool, given his Fighting type. Erikiteru seems to me like a gimmick Pokemon, so I'm really curious about him and that new move he can learn.
