Ugh, I already bought a DC for black/white and was surprisingly disappointed. I haven’t even given 2 a try yet and already a new generation. Definitely gonna be a while before I give it a go. moar reviews please. Also, is the 3DS even worth it? I’ve heard that over half the time people don’t even use the 3D mode due to eye/head aches and such. Doubt another reskin of all the old combos will convince me.
i’m definitely on board with a new installment and revolutionary change to gameplay. while i don’t have a 3ds, i’m going to need to acquire one for monster hunter ultimate, so why not have a second reason to get one with the new pokemon x (cause seriously, who is gonna buy pokemon y, when x has the cooler looking legendary?). i’m hoping they’ve listened to the fans and will allow us to go to two, three, maybe even four different regions in order to really “catch ’em all,” but who knows…maybe it will suck.
