re: I'll break the ice: Pokémon X and Y

I just got it as well. Haven't played a Pokemon game in over a decade, but it seems a lot better than Pokemon Black and White, especially since you can get older Pokemon that don't look like crap. Just got past the 2nd gym, and here's my team right now:

Frogadier- Lvl 27
Ivysaur- Lvl 24
Pansear- Lvl 21
Fletchinder- Lvl 23
Kadabra- Lvl 22
Rhyhorn- Lvl 19
