I started with Froakie and picked up Charmander later on. My first catch was Pidgey and he evolved into Pidgeotto last night. Then after the next battle Charmander evolved into Charmeleon. Training and watching those two evolve reminded me how much I love this series.

Plus the customization of your character and interactions you have with your Pokemon outside of battle are HUGE upgrades. I'm having fun with it. Nintendo always goes balls to the wall with Pokemon games but they went over and beyond with this game. It will be the first time I've ever bought both editions because I'm genuinely excited to see what Y is like after I'm done with X.

I actually took this excitement of Pokemon a little too far.

Purchased roughly $200 of Pokemon cards off of eBay. WTF am I doing?

If I haven't played a Pokemon game since the Silver/Gold days, could I still get into these? I love Red/Blue/Yellow/Silver/Gold, btw.

I'm rocking a very dangerous fire team right now, but if you have a water pokemon you will frick my shite.

Delphox, Charizard, and Blaziken are all in my party. 3 different generations of fire starters and probably my 3 favorite in the series (Typhlosion from G/S may have a case).

If you guys haven't done it yet, when you boot up the game do the Mystery gift and select receive gift via internet. You will get a Torchic with a Mega stone that will allow you to use Mega Blaziken once you level it.


eta: Also, look up "O-Powers" if you don't know about them. You can cast them on yourself or cast them on friends (costs less energy) and get random perks (improved capture rate, improved attack, improved exp, etc). If you have friends online y'all can cast them on each other and get the benefits at a reduced energy cost.
