To be honest, I'm more concerned about GF trying to follow a theme for each region, as it's usually the reason why there's a lack of diversity on certain types and why some of the animals/plants/objects/myths we like to see as Pokemon are never picked. You have no idea how many people want to see a dolphin Pokemon, but no, because the region's theme somehow doesn't fit with the animal's appearance.

The zoo theory could lead to its appearance...

With that thesis, one could argue that Hoenn would have been the perfect region for a Dolphin Pokémon.

I still think there's not been a dolphin Pokemon because in Japan some people still hunt dolphins and it's too controversial for Game Freak to want to get involved in. I don't think regions or generations or themes have much to do with what designs they go with.

They HUNT dolphins? I am so saddened that such a beautiful animal could be treated in this fashion.

Wait what, we're talking about dolphins again? Haha and yes, Hoenn would have been the perfect region for it.

Right I saw that dolphin movie in science...it made me so...
But yeah Hoenn was the best in terms of climate for one...and technically Kyogre is an Orca which are related to Dolphins irc so Hoenn did sort of have one and it's a legendary too lol.

I'm hoping we get some river based creatures, I'll like to see several fish based Pokémon...that are useful. Also I see a return of Magikarp in the dex.

I see Magikarp's Revenge return to the Pokédex as well, especially as it was in the trailer.

I heard that there may be character customization, genetic changing, etc, etc. If you haven't noticed; in the Japanese logo has a gene-strand symbol.

I also don't feel ready for this Gen.
I like the starters. Especially Froakie (why do they hate Froakie ;w;)
The good thing about this is the international release at around the same time.

I don't have a 3DS yet though, still with my Black DSi D:
Must save till then, I guess. I hope they release a 3DS - Pokemon X/Y bundle xD

Yeah I like Froakie too. I don't see why they hate Froakie. :D

The Bug Catching Contest? That could be interesting... I also would like the Pokemon Contest to make a return, because I haven't bought the DPP versions at all. So, yeah, more contests for the next generation would please me.

Maybe there could be some sort of Contest/Event that allow you to capture interregional Pokemon which occurs early in the game. Similar to the Bug Catching contest but allowing you to capture Pokemon from the other regions such as Cherubi, Sunkern, Tropius etc.

As far as catching contests go, a fishing contest isn't too much of a stretch and hasn't been done before (we've only covered a bug catching contest for Gen II). However, this would also mean the return of those previous gen fish Pokemon besides Magikarp along with Gen VI's own fish Pokemon to unnecessarily increase the number of Water types in the regional dex.

If there's any hope for me to see Dawn again in the anime, then that's what I want to see returned for XY.

And a park, a lovely park so I can frolic in the pretty flowers with my Pokémon and blah blah blah...

Yeah I want a bug catching contest too. It was lots of fun in the original Johto games and if day/night makes a return like we'll hopefully see it'll be very awesome. Imagine bug catching at night with the stars ~above~ you!

Also that fox looks like the R (idk letter R was related to her name) girl owned in Digimon series three which would've also made it unlikely to be real. :x buuuuuut other mons have been similar to Digimon before I guess.

Rika, from Digimon Tamers and Renamon. Which...most people are saying that worst case scenario is Fennekin's final form is Fire/Fighting looking like Renamon.
