Also, I'm really happy they're going for a worldwide release this time, every other time the UK has had to wait months for them, most of my Pokémon games are actually US imports.

So now instead of colors and rocks, they're using letters.
I hope this game has more interesting Pokemon at least.

That's what it looks like, Dragon quest IX. Anyway this looks cool and all but you can expect well over 800 pokemon, Haven't they come so far since 150?

I will probably be getting both. I wanna do playthroughs with all the starters. If it's a worldwide release I guess I won't be nabbing the Japanese versions first though.

They finally made a fire fox as a starter. All of my money...
Also the Y legendary looks like the forest spirit from Princess Mononoke only less creepy.

So we have a Frog, Fox, and... What in the world is Chespin suppose to be?
Also the game looks kinda cool. But, I really don't like how the male trainer looks so similar to the Black and Black 2 ones though.

I'm guessing Chespin is a chipmunk,

With any luck, they'll make it a chain, Luvdisc as the Basic, Alomola and a stage 2, and a new stage 1.

at least you have the possibility of a Gen 4 remake to look forward to
I mean, Diamond and Pearl came out almost 7 years ago.

If anything, it's looking better. Think about it.
FR/LG was on GBA HG/SS was on DS
It's possible they want to bring them out each console, rather than generation. If so, then the R/S/E remakes should be just around the corner.
Oh, there are also a guy who leaked a load of stuff ages ago, I think there's a link somewhere here. He said that Gen VI would be unveiled this year, and would include a new Type.
EDIT: Found the link, he says it won't be out for two years, so we can discount him as a source.

it may not have been credible but there have been sources saying it's grass/dark, fire/psychic, and water/fighting I don't have any links to prove it and I've only heard word from others so I can't verify

I think we've had enough starters being fighting types.

no we've had enough fire starters being fighting types or at least I have; there haven't been any other semi fighting type starters that aren't fire

Can that new type be sound? Think about all of the move that are currently in Pokemon that could count as a sound-type attack. Especcially the passive or status moves like sing or perish song.

I can get behind this type scheme, seeing as my Pokemon knowledge is a little rusty, but I'm pretty sure that Dark/Fighting/Psychic is another type triangle, so I'm not sure if that makes them x4 effective of what it does, but it certainly adds a new dimension to the starters.
And yes, I'd love to see Sound type.

You're right. Dark is weak to Fighting, Fighting is weak to Psychic, and Psychic is weak to Dark.

there are possibility for sound type moves, yes, but there are few pokemon other than whismur's line that could count as sound types really it's kind of unnecessary as they have all the basic elements except for wind and light, and at that those are rather superfluous

I meant it's final form. Yknow, like what 80% of the other fire starters inevitably become.

The names of the Legends have been announced.
The Bird is going to be known as Yveltal (Pronounced "ee-VELL-tall.") The Deer is going to be known as Xerneas (Pronounced "ZURR-nee-us.")

On the same reasoning I'll get Y, I always go for the one I think will sell less, because I'll have an easier time trading for title exclusives.
