I haven't played a Pokemon since G/S and whenever I read stuff about the meta game in the newer ones it all seems incredibly overwhelming but I'm gonna peep one of those $99 3DSes on Black Friday and I might just get Moon as well.

There's like 3 people in the world who actually do any of that meta game stuff so i wouldn't worry about it.

ORAS was the first release I skipped since FireRed/LeafGreen, I'm a poke freak and I can't wait for my package to arrive tonight

The alolan forms are so sick...it's great whenever you see a name you recognize and you're like alright yeah. Normal type, I got it. And then bam some crazy pink version comes out that can levitate instead or w/e. Surprise is around every corner. I swapped out Ledyba for Alolan Grimer

The coolest detail that cemented my complete and utter love for this game in the first hour of playing is that this game has a low mix ambient track of random Pokemon calls running almost nonstop. So you can hear bird chirps and insect calls but it's all the lo fidelity Pokemon digisqueals. Incredible artistry

this game has so much character all over the place

Not like this, it's a real huge jump. I'm consistently shocked they put all this in a 3ds cart

im still on route 2 because i have been obsessively combing every square inch of this game before moving on

I play these games by just wandering forward constantly and save the obsessive combing for the post-elite four sweep of all the Pokemon I didn't catch the first time through.

I really like that the petting thing changes based on the texture of the Pokemon in question. Like trying to pet grimer gets your hand stuck in his poo poo slime and you can't move it lol
