grassdragon,
Well seeing that I don't have the games yet, all I can go by is what I see on sites such as this one, Serebii, and of course Marriland. But all that being said, my initial reaction is Gen 6 gets a 8 out of 10, for me, being an older player and again before actually playing these. I'm really glad they added Mega Evolution, though I don't like all of them. I'm hopeful they add megas for all Pokemon who needed them, either for stats or to be more ascetically pleasing, or both. My absolute favorites so far are Charizard X, Pinsir & Alakazam, in that order! A little disappointed there are only 69 total new (known) Pokemon but I'm sure there are some surprises in store. Favorite new starter is the water, because I'm undecided on being happy with (my usual pick) fire's final evolution. Really excited to sit down sometime Sunday and play while watching some football. What's your take??
