Finally started playing after letting it download overnight. I already reset three times because I kept changing my mind about my starter; I'm really not good at committing to decisions.
First impressions: the game looks a lot better than I thought it would, and the cosmetic difference helps make this really feel like the next gen of the series. Also all the options seem overwhelming at first. I clicked on the Internet button and was surprised at how connected this version seems to be. Then I went into the menu from the top and there's just a ton of stuff I have no idea about: Wonder Trade, Shout-Outs, Holo Caster, etc. and I don't even know where to begin. I'm just glad that it really feels like something new, even if the core gameplay and structure is still the same.
