Did the character descriptions for the rivals come from official Nintendo PR? I think it's really cool that they have fat character who wants to be a dancer. A boy no less! But it bugs me that the description describes him as a "large" boy. I want to see more fat characters portrayed in ways that don't make a big deal about them being fat, and instead explores them in more deep and nuanced ways. In this case, simply leaving out the "large" descriptor would make me happy. I wonder if they're going to explore his size at all in his story. If so, I hope they handle it well, and not in fat shaming ways.

Anyways, yay that they have a fat dancer boy. <3

 

[Bullza2o]

It's FINALLY here! My childhood dream of playing handheld Pokemon in 3D!

 

[Alcotholic]

Yes. I'll be all up in this shit on midnight release!

 

[SeZMehK]

#TeamY here. Just barely a week left. Can't wait.

 

[hemtae]

Blargh, I'll be getting mine on the monday after it releases. If you feel a possession attempt fueled by unspeakable dark magic that will be me. Try not to fight it.

 

[Zebra]

Are there no stores doing preorder bonuses?

I remember Black/White 1 had no shortage of stores offering neat stuff.

Grass-types are immune to "powder" moves such as Poison Powder, Sleep Powder and Spore.
Ghost-types are immune to moves which preventing fleeing such as Mean Look.
Electric-types are immune to paralysis.

Wuuuuut, I didn't know about any of this! Damn. Can't wait to dive in and get all competitive.

I hope you don't mind me asking lordfroakie, but can you add 2 things in the OP?
1) Linking to the large map of Kalos, so that when you click on the image in the OP, you can go to a more zoomed in view like this: http://abload.de/img/kalos-regionp0yis.jpg

2) Linking to the type chart PDF so people can see the type chart more clearly: http://www.pokemonxy.com/_ui/img/_en/art/Type-Matchup_chart_EN.pdf

Thanks in advance.

[vareon]

I'm assuming we can't discuss leaks in this game? Maybe add a warning if so?

 

[Erv]

So the only preorder bonus for these games was the poster from Gamestop??

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I'm gonna get Pokemon Y but I have to admit X got the better MegaCharizard.

I found a cool list.
If you guys know of a midnight release occuring in your area, contact the people of bulbapedia.

On a separate note, I haven't felt this much hype for a pokemon game in a long time. I'm so stoked.

Yup, I haven't been this excited for a Pokemon game since Gold / Silver. 3D, Fairy type, and more accessible EV training is what really has me hyped.

[ASTROID2]

I've gone since like the third trailer without looking at anything about the game. I can't wait to play it. I haven't gone in blind in a Pokemon game like this since red and blue.

Yes.

 

[Zoramon089]

ALL Nintendo releases on the 3DS and WiiU are midnight at launch

 

[Crimsonlink]

Trying to get a 3DS in time for this lol. Had to give up my original 3DS to my little cousin. Hopefully will have it by the time this releases.

#Team X FTW

Coming back to Pokemon after Platinum and SoulSilver. Cannot wait, the dormant trainer within me is awakening again now that 2 gens worth have passed.

Well 1 but I didn't buy Black&White 1 or 2 and I count them as gens in themselves.

 

[kittens]

We need clarification ASAP: what images / info counts as spoilers in this thread?

 

[ivysaur12]

Midnight eastern? So, 9pm PST? How does the eShop work?

I think anything not on the official site is a spoiler.
