No, please, no more waiting! Haha. :p I hope that they announce that they're making R/S/E remakes at least within a year after they release X & Y. I'm not getting my hopes up, though! Nope! I've been brokenhearted too many times before by this franchise! xD You're right, though, the graphics aren't that bad, but the games and the region itself definitely deserve an upgrade.
I hope they went crazy with planning the gameplay for X & Y and make everything non-traditional! It'd be really fun to see a ton of stuff we've never been introduced to before in the previous games/regions. A fire/psychic starter would be awesome! One of my favorite types is the psychic one, and you're right, there aren't too many in the beginning in the game nor during the entirety of the game, either.
It'll be interesting to see whether or not they keep the 525 base stat pattern for Ninfia. It's never crossed my mind, really. I just hope it has some decent stats compared to its weak pre-evloution, Eevee. Eevee is cute and all, but man, it's useless if you don't evolve it. :[
& yeah! X & Y is set to be released worldwide this October, which is definitely something we've never seen in the past! Usually the pattern is that Japan gets it first, then North America a few months later, then Europe like a month later, then Australia/NZ, the rest of the world, etc.
