Pokémon X and Pokémon Y

Two years really isn't that much for game development anymore. A lot of games are two year intervals. It just seems early because B/W2 was basically Grey, and they cheaped out to get double the money off of it. At least, that's how it felt.

Regardless, this is probably the first game that, if I get it, I'll be going Fire Starter. The Grass and Water ones look dumb as hell.

One of my major annoyances with the 3DS in general is that it's basically caused the abandonment of 2D sprites, which in my opinion are far superior to a lot of 3D graphics. For once, I'm happy that that statement is dead wrong, because the game doesn't look nearly as bad as I had anticipated. I was also happy to be wrong in the same regard for DQ7's remake on the 3DS, that game looks freaking amazing as well.

I just hope that developers can keep up that kind of quality, because there are a lot of past situations where I would have preferred sprites.

Also, I guess they ran out of colors and precious gems? Seems like they just said, "Fu'ck it, let's pick two letters. That's how they're going to be referred as anyway!"

I do agree with the part about 2D sprites. There's just something about the details that makes them look better but it seems that it's not true for this game at least. At any rate, nine months is a lot of time for me to think about whether I'll get the 3DS and I haven't played Pokemon in years, so why not.
