Is anyone not excited...?

[Bellsprout]

I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but is anyone just feeling meh about these games? For me it's not even that the games look bad or anything, I just feel very whatever about them. Maybe it's a sign I'm getting old.

 

[Rivvon]

No, I feel you. I wasn't hyped at all during standard pre-release. Now that I've spoiled myself with the leaks I'm a little more hyped, but I still don't think these are gonna end up being the absolute best Pokémon games--although I've got a good feeling they'll be better than what we got for gen 6, at least.

Look at it this way: I find when I'm not hyped for something, it makes it easier for the days to pass by. So instead of agonizingly waiting for the games to release, you'll be able to get them and enjoy them without feeling the "weight" of waiting.

Agree. Not many Pokémon, the plot might be typical JRPG stuf. Not all worth the wait...?

nah I am sure plot would be heaviest of all pokemon games... even more so than BW&BW2... what I am worried is LACK OF POST GAME!

Please Arceus give us good post game *prayers and sacrifices intensify*
One of things I always look forward to is post game adventures. XY failed hard for me in that area since after the credits roll, its the Looker mission and catching the legendary birds and Mewtwo. That's it. Didnt really keep me engaged as well as I had hoped for gen 6. The only reason why I took up competitive battling and IV breeding was simply because I had nothing else to do.

Im keeping my fingers crossed with Sun and Moon. Ive pleased with what's going on so far and the leaks Ive seen havent put a damper on my excitement. But dang I'd love to see the ball be kept rolling after the game ends.

I'm gonna get a copy cause of pursuit of Pokemon. It's about memories

 

[Lusamine]

I guess I'm not as excited as I could be...there aren't a huge number of new Pokemon again, and I'm not sure if the whole trial thing is going to work in place of Gyms. I'm worried it'll feel a little directionless. But Pokemon is Pokemon, I think it'll be fun enough. I'm looking forward to it, but not in the same way I was looking forward to X/Y.

 

[Kieran]

Well you see, when there are changes, people complain. When the changes are minor, people complain. When there are too many new or old Pokemon, both sides complain, too. Can't please everyone could we? Jeez.

I am very excited about all the changes and all the new Pokemon.
I am even more thrilled and excited now that I've seen more leaks and gameplay on Youtube!

 

[Hikamaru]

I'm excited mainly for the Pokemon and new features, but definitely not the post-game since it appears to be just as lacking as every first new-gen game. Guess I'll be spending post-game getting all the trainer customization stuff like in XY (and yes, I don't mind the female trainer's default design).

 

[Alumens]

I'm not excited anymore after knowing that some Pokémon wont have any evolutions at all. It gave me cancer

There's not a big Post-game? Welp, that killed my hype a bit. Come on, Game Freak.

 

[Kikaito plush]

well not as I was for other pokemon games.

 

[MegaKuriboh]

I'm pretty excited, but to be honest with the entire game friggin leaking all over the internet and with some of the things I've heard, it's killing my hype just a little bit.

 

[blue]

I'm still hyped, especially since we're now about a week away from release! Its a shame to see the game leaking so early and plots being spoiled all over, but I'm trying my best to avoid all that to keep my hype levels up so that I'm not spoiled when it comes to playing the games.

 

[Pyrax]

I'm honestly finding it difficult to be excited, especially now that I've looked at the datamined info and found nothing but disappointment. Barely anything in the dex piques my interest, and at this point all I'm looking forward to is the ost.

I might just buy SM to have something to play for a while, to be honest.

 

[Mawa]

I had some little disappointments, but I would had them later anyways.
I'm still hyped for the game. Not the game I got the most excited for but maybe that's mostly because of my busy schedule.

 

[User19sq]

I felt this way too, bud. But spoiling myself over the new batch of Pokémon, and who I'll enlist in my team, made the hype grow.

If you don't wanna spoil yourself, nobody blames you. But the curiosity over this new region, these new Pokémon, these new characters, and whatever the f*ck Ultra Beasts are; doesn't the curiosity wanna make you go for it? X3

 

[mikey]

I admit, I really wasn't. However, since it comes out this Friday, I find myself really excited now!

 

[MaSterBarth]

I'm way too excited for it. The trials if anything like in the demo seems to be really cool. Looking forward to it. The story seems all about this cool rite of passage and I like that. Most of all the water starter get's water/fairy typing when it evolves so yeah it's hard to not be excited right now.

 

[Meganium]

I was excited, but my boyfriend wasn't as much. Excited to the fact that I'm getting a game around my birthday. xD

But I see what his point is though. With so many new features, it felt a bit overwhelming for him, especially to someone who hasn't played the first three generations of the franchise. And with the trials instead of gyms, things are going to be pretty hard to grasp once you get into it. I thought it was something to start fresh with the games and all.
