Being that I recently returned to Pokemon (which meant I had to purchase a 3DS) I was recommended to start with the X&Y series instead of ORAS by one of my friends. The last Pokemon game I played was White v.2 but barely touched the game and before that was Pokemon Gold! When my friend showcased her X game I immediately fell in love with the platform and animation. So for the time being I will still be playing Pokemon Y (which is the one I bought with my 3DS) and will be playing for a bit longer before hopping on the ORAS train.
