When they announced Skitty as the resident cat Pokemon, I pretty much suspected as much right then and there. It had been my intention to breed a Meowth egg, trade it while still an egg, and go from there, hatching it in the new game... like I did in Platinum.
GF... still male biased as ever, I see... I wouldn't have minded if NO player characters showed up, but then they HAD to include Mt. Silver boy...
Eh, I was on the fence for a long time debating whether to get them... much of what I heard before that announcement wasn't encouraging.
Only a very remote outside chance I'll be getting them now... if only because I wouldn't be doing much with the world tournament ANYWAY...
