Yes indeed, out of the X and Y starters, Fennekin definitely looks the coolest, it will be hard to adjust to using a fire-type starter since I usually choose to start with water or grass types, but I'll probably be able to do.
Aye, Milotic is my favorite(I go so far as to own a 2 inch figure of her.) mostly because he/she takes the whole "beautiful but deadly" aspect up to 11, I plan to attempt to obtain her legitimately on my copy of Sapphire(My favorite game, since it got me into Pokemon in the first place.)
I have many interest outside of Pokemon, my favorite hobby is Literature and storytelling, but I'm also a film buff and a gamer(which is kind of obvious) and a big part of my life is Spirituality.
I'll be sure to check out the rest of the forum. Thanks guys.
