Bought Alpha Sapphire and Pokemon X+Y and haven't even played them yet.

I'd play XY first because Alpha Sapphire is better in like every way

Also new trailer

Interesting news that Sun takes place 12 hours earlier than Moon so if you have Sun it'll be day during the real day and night at night and if you have moon it'll be night during the real day and day at night.

Oh and a pokemon snap-ish feature 0:

I wish I understood wht they were saying, This trailer was awesome though I like the new pokemon shown especially that lizard with the heart. And that jellyfish thing was strange I like the look of that new team as well.

Also OMG! Pokemon Snap was so fun I'm happy they are making a thing like it in this new game!

I think they should be more extreme than that. Make moon constant darkness, and vice versa. Also how on earth is Alpha Sapphire better than XY? I bet it doesn't have better battle music.

If they went more extreme than that Moon would be depressing. No sun at all is okay for a bit but for an entire game it gets stale. Plus some pokemon can only be caught during the day or at night.

*spongebob crowd voice* Anyone who thinks XY is better than ORAS, has never played it

ORAS takes all the gameplay elements of XY (except character customization), expands on them, and adds some great new stuff of its own. It was very faithful to the original RSE while keeping it fresh so the nostalgia factor was through the roof but you were clearly playing a brand new game. I think it's also the first main pokemon game to have an extra postgame episode.

Sidenote Victini's up now as a wifi present for XY & ORAS

I finished AS now I am hunting Pokemon that appear after you beat the game -- I haven't been able to find one yet, is this common or am I doing something wrong? Seems like they have a less than 1% chance.

Never mind, I figured it out. They visually appear in the grass.

Btw 3 pokemon events this month for North America. XY and ORAS all included as usual

Keldeo via wifi until the 24th, Hoopa from today until the 9th if you enter the code "2016HOOPA", and gamestop will be giving out cards for Volcanion from the 10th to the 31st.

 

[Jadeinchains]

Thanks I'm gonna go get them!

I had no idea, thanks for helping me fill out my dex. XD

Demo coming out on october 18th 0:

 

[Jadeinchains]

Omg! The second evolution's of them are great! And that pc box thing looks really interesting too, I'm gonna have to get the demo to see how it is.

 

[deathofaninja]

I am so excited. Litten's evolution is so cute.

 

[Chapstick]

This really solidified my choice of Litten as a starter. I hope the third evo is still somewhat cute but I'm not counting on it lol

Popplio looks like its third evo is going to be water/fairy after all

 

[NightAntilli]

The Popplio line is still the most dislikable one...

 

[GreatDarkHero]

I don't know about ya'll but...

Spoiler

Pokemon Origins was excellent and Pokemon Generations is looking pretty boss as well. Pretty much what the Pokemon Anime was "supposed" to be.

 

[Tyaren]

Aw...this is the first Pokemon in years that I'd really, really like to play. It seems to be huge, full of amazing detail and very polished. :/ Maybe I should not throw all my money at Sony and Square Enix for The PS4 Pro and FFXV after all. :/

I'd choose Litten no doubt. Love cats, especially tigers. :3 It's third evo will probably be a badass tiger.

Edit:
Wow, and new 3DS games are just 40€! O:

3DS's are pretty cheap these days compared to other consoles. You can get a new (as in a new old one not a new new one) 3DS xl from gamestop for $130 here but I can't speak for Germany

The New 3DS (I have no clue what the difference to the old one is) costs 150€ in Germany. Woah, I just looked up how much 130$ would be in € and that's just 116€. Why is everything so much more expensive here? D:
I by the way just looked up how expensive the regular FFXV game is. It's 64€-69€. That's 77$!! XD

A "New 3DS" (which is the stupidest name for a console ever) has one or two extra buttons and more processing power. It also has an amiibo reader built in while you have to buy one separate for a regular 3DS. Oh and doesn't come with a charge cord lol, their reasoning for that was "you probably already have one if you've had 3DS's or DSi's." They started making "new 3DS" exclusive games so it might be worth spending the extra money on one if you've never had a 3DS.

Lol, they are just as shamelessly greedy as Sony and Microsoft. XD I think I'm going to pass... At least the PS4 Pro doesn't get exlusive games...

 

[Chisa]

That new 3DS has also old school SNES games available on e-store. I'm super pissed off that since i only have normal 3DS and i would love to play those old school games while travelling

About pokemon, not fan of these starters that much but im about beat everyone with my snorlax anyway.
