[SPOILERS] X and Y pre-release Leaks and Rumours thread

Anyone else satisfied with just 69 Pokemon + Megas? I know I am.

A fair amount of the new Pokemon are looking good in my opinion, but the Mega system is almost entirely useless by design due to its harsh restriction on being able to use only 1 Mega in your party. So out of all the Megas you essentially just pick one for your main team and forget about the rest of them even existing.

So no, I'm personally not satisfied -- not even remotely. The game overall looks good to me, but the lack of variety in Pokemon is a huge disappointment, though to be fair I understand where they're coming from, especially since most Pokemon in the entire franchise are pretty forgettable by the fans. It also doesn't help that they work in "generations" instead of adding on to a single experience they split them all apart from each other, so you never get a chance to get used to any Pokemon. By design you basically "try out" a generation's Pokemon then forget them in the next one. And even in a current one I'd say on average most players give no pomegranates for the majority of any particular generation.

Oh well.

Edit: Also doesn't help that most of the new Pokemon are using the same few types, so any type diversity is basically thrown out the window unless you want to give in and use pomegranate you literally don't like JUST to fill in that type slot you're shooting for unless you use previous generation Pokemon.
