I'm super surprised we don't have a thread for this yet.

I'll just open with this: https://twitter.com/codahighland/sta...83399524093952

I'm super psyched for this game already, I definitely want a Mimikyuu on my team...

[XxXCrystal_SummerXxX]

I'm sure I'll get one of them... I'll decide once exclusives are announced.

I will say I am still hoping the starter final form leaks are wrong... wrestler cat is much less cool than the lesser forms.

[Coda]

The leaks have been confirmed by datamining the demo releases.

[Tohopekaliga]

I know. :P Still hoping.

Release day is nigh! I'm rather excited. Has anyone decided what they'd like to get? I'm going after Moon, though the time shift sounds weird. Interesting concept, though, except my day begins at night after work, so the timing idea will be lost on me aside from weekends. I actually prefer the night scenery, too.

[Tohopekaliga]

I really need to read more about 'me so I can make a decision.... I've actually managed to not read much about them yet.

[Illusion]

I have a 8 hour work shift tomorrow D=

I'm running to best buy to pick up my copy ASAP so I can play a little bit.

I've been playing Moon.
Only got to the second island so far :D

I am seriously in love with it, though. So glad they finally actually did something NEW besides just recycling the old game ideas with like one updated graphic.

The last Pokemon game I beat was Black. Tried X, made it to the big city, but got SOOO BORED because it was literally just the same game with a couple different Pokemon and a new legendary. :/

[Tohopekaliga]

I acquired Sun, picked Rowlet, although haven't actually played all that much...about to reach the first trial.

It is super cool. :D

[Batty]

Went to the midnight release, got my copy of moon and started with Popplio~~
And Ive made it to the last trial on the second island. Got a shiny in the process, and its just jfbjDHFBJHUVFIHEVNDSJKVBBNJhjshafjsdghj.

<.<;; AKA... I'm thoroughly enjoying it. xD

[Coda]

You're the second person I've heard of to get a shiny starter.

You know what's funny, Black is the last Pokemon game I finished, too.

I made some decent progress into Y but then I got STUPIDLY busy at work and had to set it aside and never got back to it.

Diamond I logged 140 hours on but never actually FINISHED because I got sidetracked by being completionist. ^^() I think I only have like four badges there?

I never played the GBA games. I tried playing Gold in gen 2, but I managed to get a defective copy of the game and never got around to doing anything about it. Before that, I pulled off a full-completionist play of Red -- even got a legit event Mew -- and did a fair amount of competition using Stadium's Poke Cup rules.

It occurs to me as I write this that, in retrospect, I'm uncertain about the legitimacy of that event. It was run by a sanctioned Pokemon League location, by a uniformed Pokemon League employee, but I discovered MANY years later that said employee was a compulsive yet talented liar. It is ENTIRELY possible that the distribution cartridge he had was in fact created using a Game Shark, a fake security seal, and a great deal of patience. But I have no way of verifying it either way.

>.>
I own no Nintendo stuff outside of a Game Boy Advance SP I won in 2005.
<.<

I love the designs, though.

[lovelacedroses]

I wish I had a 3ds. It seems like a more unique approach to the franchise is finally being applied.

[Coda]

That is DEFINITELY true. They're shaking up the formula a lot, putting a different spin on things.

That said... As Pokemon games go, it's... startlingly short. My wife finished the game, including catching all of the post-game legendaries, in only around 41 hours. I don't even think Red was this short.
