How has there not been a thread for this yet?

http://www.gamerevolution.com/news/pokmon-x-and-y-announced-coming-this-october-16859

There's now actually a reason to buy a 3DS. And importantly, for the first time we don't have to sit months watching the japanese play it first, with a global release.
Holy crap this is a huge update. No more sprites!

I kind of share the same sentiment as used. There are much better reasons to own a 3DS and they're all available right now.

Wait to see the 3DS sales rocket come October. Would be even better if there was a new one released by then, maybe with the normal size but upgraded screens and battery.

3D or not, it will just be more of the same. Fun for a few hours but I don't have the stamina to finish a Pokemon game.

I'm hoping they'll continue the greater story focus they did with black+white, which should help to make it feel less like a grindfest.
Looks pretty good, though. I knew they'd so something major with the series once they got decent hardware, but i didn't think they'd just one day decide 'fuck it' and change a huge chunk of the formula.

Pokemon was good when I was a kid, a time in my life that I would try almost anything to distract myself and pass the time in the bad parts of my life.

I think it requires a really dedicated attention span. What does it say about me that I was more capable of finishing a Pokemon game when I was younger?

It may be more of the same, but Holy Moly 3DS sales are going to SKYROCKET.

I'm still trying to slog through B&W2, so I will probably pass on it.
