Hi there! And thank you! :D
To answer your forum post, Emerald is a great game as well, and I completely agree with you about the artwork on the cards! Also, I absolutely plan on introducing my son to Pokemon! He's already learning to say Pikachu haha. He'll likely be a Whovian as well. ;) We will be getting X & Y - already have them preordered and cannot freaking wait! What are you most looking forward to about them?
