    • This is a very broad discussion and something I think will fit well with the Countdown DCC. So I'm going to merge the two.

    • The days are indeed flying by now, so I gotta agree with that n_n

    I should really contact all the people I knew from school last year that I still have contact with and see what their hype is going to be about the games.. I had quite a few friends who are into Pokémon, but unfortunately, not all of them own a 3DS

    The only thing I am not looking forward to is me and my sister having a legendary battle. She has Xerneas which has an advantage over Yveltal. Fairy is super-affective agents dark type pokemon and Fire and dark are not ferry affective agents Fairy types

    Yeah I do have to admit it's surprising time has gone by so quickly, even more thanks to all the information we're discovering courtesy of those leaked screenshots. I was quite glad I got my 3DS XL early, because I got it around the same time I got my Black 2 and White 2 games.

    • I got my 3DS XL back in April, which was preceded by my DSi XL that I got back in December of 2010 for Christmas. While I do think the upgrade was worth it, I also kinda wish I had waited before hand so that I could have owned one of the special X and Y 3DS XLs :<

    Well, good for you. My brother won't even play these games considering he pretty much retired from Pokemon in favor Call of Duty and all those crazy FPS stuff. *shudders*

    Poor Hikari will be forever alone because she's the only one in her family that plays Pokemon... yeah.

    Super Mario 3D World killed all my hype for X/Y. GoTY right there.

    On one hand, I guess this means the week will go by faster now that I'm not too excited for it anymore, but then again waiting until November 22nd is gonna be a pain...although I suppose X/Y could be a time killer if I end up liking it as much as I want to.

    EDIT: Also so far this is the only Pokemon game that is close to exceeding 90% on metacritic....heh.

    • Honestly, if I was one of the ones who managed to obtain a leaked copy, then I would have just kept quiet about it haha..

    But certainly the hype is increasing for sure in my soul :D

    Where you saw reviews? can you give the links?
    Click to expand...

    You can go to metacritic(dot)com and search Pokemon X or Y. The site is basically a compilation of reviews, so you can look at the reviews individually.

    Right now, it's averaged at 89 which is around what the normal Pokemon games would be this early on (usually settling in at 87). Glad to see it got some great reviews so far, but most of them criticize the 3D function, and rather only compliment the 3D-less 3D world (does that make sense?).

    Oh, and IGN gave Black and White a 90 and B2/W2 a 96 so I don't think they are too harsh on us. I think it's game informer we have to be careful of..

    I was imagining the same thing, if I were like those Canadians who managed to get a copy early, I wouldn't be leaking screenshots out of respect for those who want to do a blind playthrough on the first run of the game.

    But still, I don't mind seeing all the spoilers. Especially given it takes me months to even get the games anyway.

    • Ironically I came home from a holiday in Canada the day before it leaked.. ah well, I'd rather have the game on par with everyone else anyway, it's more fun that way!

    I don't think the leaks have ruined my expectations, I'm not the kind who does blind playthroughs, given I've been following new generation/game news since Black and White. I usually like to take a peek at things because you never know, you may find a new favorite Pokemon among the new crew!
