I checked on Metacritic and the average scores are looking great: 88/100 on both versions as of 10/4/13, which is about a week before release. With these scores, it looks like this is going to be one of the best games of the series so far, and a must-have for Pokemon fans. Maybe I will get a 3DS and buy it! As for everyone who pre-ordered, you probably did make the right decision after all.
