BUT I ALREADY CAUGHT THEM ALL DAMMIT
Gamefreak and Nintendo promised an "evolution" of Pokemon earlier this week. Fans were excited, with most expecting an announcement for the sixth generation.
And indeed, there is going to be a brand new set of games, Pokemon X and Pokemon Y, released in October.

So you can imagine where this is going...
WHY THE HELL DO I GOTTA BUY A BRAND NEW SYSTEM FOR THIS GREEDY BASTARDS
I'm done except if they release Ruby and Sapphire
It's different why is it different
They look like Neopets but I'm not a genwunner!
REAL fans are excited. Fans that bash are stupid!
Hi jut wanted to tell you Gen 1 is still the best bye
It's just sad that we don't get what we want because we want nostalgia okay

I was pretty fatigued of the older style of Pokemon games but I'm really excited for X/Y!

The reformat is a pretty slick marketing move.

I like to play through each one and explore / catch but it' gotten o huge and metagame-esque that it's kind of math homework nowadays.

Also - fennec fox starter. <3

Yeah the amount of maths turned me off. I'm hardly the intellectual Pokemon player, I pick my teams 'cause they're cute and attacks 'cause they sound cool.

Fennec fox starter is seriously adorable! From the comments I've been seeing the other starters aren't even going to get a look in from most people. ^^

I thought about building teams but all my fun comes from exploring caves and finding legendaries and junk. Which they've dumbed down considerably since Gen 2. I still have fun with the games and always pick them up... I just want more "CONGRATULATIONS YOU FOUND SOME REALLY WEIRD THING HERE." oh man now I want to go back and play Soul Silver but it's so slow compared to the text and battling of Black/White.

The funny / sad part being for every ten or so posts declaring the new fox adorable there is at least one "STFU STUPIDS VULPIX WAS A FOX BEFORE THIS ONE!" even though this is the first legit out-in-the-wild-fox so they kind of both have a point. o.o

Yeah, even just going over every tile in an area and bashing the A button until you find that one Pokeball is kinda addictive. Exploring every little corner of caves for treasure and saving up tokens. ^^

Pokemon really isn't worth getting your blood pressure up about. ^^o There can be cure fox pokemon in every generation and they'd still be cute and vulpine!
