Netto, your signature is the bee's knees.
Anyways, I always tell myself i'm not going to spoil the game for myself but I always end up spoiling the hell out of it.
Heck, i'm probably going to play the Japanese version when it comes out due to just being flat-out eager to play these games.
As for the map, i'm sticking to my guns on the whole "covering up changes in Unova," but I wouldn't be opposed to some of the other things people have suggested regarding a frozen Unova.
I remember reading someone's post about how the frozen part of Unova could become available late in the game with bonus gyms, which sounds like a cool idea. The already available area of Unova on the map probably wouldn't be able to house very many gyms, though. :O
Bahh, who knows?
Idk, i'm giddy.
