6th Gen How do you plan to journey through Kalos?

    So with the games only six days away (I know.. exciting!), I've been thinking about the way of how I'm going to progress through the game, which lead me to creating this discussion.

    How do you plan to progress through the game? Will you take your time, taking in all the new features, towns, characters etc or will have a more speedier approach to the game by skipping out all of the less important features and focusing on the main aspects of the storyline?

    For me I will be progressing at a very steady rate, ensuring that I interact with all characters and exploring all the new areas and features Kalos has to offer!
     
    I will probably pretend to try and play at a steady pace but inevitably speed through it because I have no self control when I play these games.
     
    I also plan on taking my time and making sure I explore the game and talk to everyone so I don't miss anything while also trying to catch as many different Pokemon as possible.
     
    I'm likely going to take my time exploring, talking and grinding my team rather than focusing on the story. I've never felt a need to rush with the main games because when I did my Pokémon either end up under-leveled or I miss out on a TM!

    I also think most of my time is going to go into Pokémon Amie as I used to love interactive games like Nintendogs. I'm also one who takes a lot of time with customizations and things, but probably won't mind it too much until I start getting some XY friends. I'm still trying to decide whether or not I want the official guide!

    Even though I never use the guides, they're still nice to have as collectors items and to see some nice official art, which is why I'm probably going to get it.

    This is exactly what I'm thinking, the last (and only) time I bought a guidebook was for Diamond & Pearl back in 2006, and now I'm tempted to get it for XY with the new type being introduced and so forth.
     
    I'm going to rush through my first run and then, on a second run I'll play the game more carefully, taking in new details, etc.
     
    I'll inevitably rush through, then go back and explore as I train up my party.
     
    With all the new features that are going to be introduced, and the simple fact that it's going to be a 3D game(!!) I'll take my time and try to explore every corner there is. I'll also probably catch every pokemon i see, although i normally don't do it. I honestly think I've never been so excited about a game coming out, and i plan on enjoying it to the fullest!! :D
     
    Yeah I'll probably end up taking my time. I'd like to be able to talk with different people and focus on the story as much as possible.
     
    I think I will play at a pretty thorough/slow pace. I'd like to try and enjoy the game as much as I can for having to wait so long for the release!

    Another thing that I really liked in BW was the habitat pokedex feature. This way I can get an idea of if I've completed an area, or if there are still some rare pokemon to catch. Most of the time, I would prefer to have completed a zone before moving on. Plus, this approach builds in some extra grinding/leveling accordingly.
     
    i'll probably take my time as well. i like talking to people as i go by but i wont super train in-game since i think its something to be done after the main story.
     
    I'm going to take it nice and slow, talk to all the NPCs and try and catch all the Pokemon in each route. I'll probably try out the Super-Training as I've entered an X&Y community tournament on a different forum and we have a month to get our teams to level 50.
     
    I'm going to go through Kalos very slowly. This is basically the first time we know very little about the region at the time of the release, so I am going to go slow and take it all in! (:
     
    In games where there's a lot to learn and collect I always take really good time.. this will be no different. Looking really forward to explore this region!

    I've never caught 'em all in a single pokémon game. I'd like to do that in this!
     
    Apart from looking at images of the new Pokémon I tried to keep the spoilers to a minimum.
    I hope to take it nice and slow and just take it as it comes! I also hope to have a lot of exchange with my friends thanks to the new "online friend list" add. : )
    And I will probably try to catch all kinds of Pokémon species I come across - I haven't done that since ruby!
    All in all I haven't been this excited about a new Pokémon game and I have high hopes of getting my old Ruby-feel back!
     
    I'll be taking my time. These games are coming out at a busy time in my school career, and I can't afford to slip up. So when I do find the time to play the games, I really want to sit back and enjoy them. I will definitely appreciate the free time I get to play the games. Also, I won't be piddling back and forth between X and Y, because I'm going to hold off on getting my copy of Y for a good amount of time, maybe even till Christmas. So because of that, I'll be able to really focus on just one game and not be concerned with making sure both are in the same place, or dealing with hating one team and loving the other, etc.

    I plan on going through my first playthroughs of both games with a full team of new Pokemon, which has always been a tradition of mine for new Pokemon games.
     
    Im actually going to take it slow paced..looking at all the new features and taking to all the characters so i dont miss out on anything.

    Also am i the only one who is going to EV train my team? I know i am..with the Supertraining mechanic why not?
