    Tropical islands should be fun, though, like an entire game made out of the best parts of Hoenn's level design. Too much water, aye, IGN?

    Oh yeah, unless I'm much mistaken it looks like the oveworld is a lot less grid-snappy than X and Y were, which I am very excited about. Other than that, this may well be the generation that looks most similar to the previous one. Guess they already pushed the 3DS about as far as they could with a lot of things.

    Oh yeah, it doesn't show much gameplay but this Japanese "trailer" is also amazing.

    My point is that they didn't even try to disguise the etymology this time.

    As though they were trying with "Kanto"

    At least that's a place most American players wouldn't have recognized off the top of their head

    Well, that's enough tropical environment for the next 3 years for me.


    Definitely picking Litten. Though google image searching it doesn't give me what I want. I just hope to Arceus it's not gonna turn out to be another Fire/Fighting, otherwise I'm gonna kill someone.

    >Assuming Japanese players didn't with Kanto
    :^)

    Anyway, I don't really have much of an opinion on the new starters than saying "is it just me or do they kind of look like Fakemon?" They'll grow on me eventually, I'm sure of it. They're all pretty cute, but I can't decide between Popplio and Litten as my favorite.
