General

Oh yeah, Platinum was nice. The game engine and surfing were terribly slow in Diamond and Pearl, but were quickened up a lot for Platinum. The game's also been prettied up more, with extra animations as well. A proper Battle Frontier was added too, though it's the same one that was in HG/SS.

New video showcasing the starter Mega Evolutions, Primal Groudon and Kyogre, and Mega Diancie.

Is it an option to pre-order them now? Boyfriend was looking to get them but they kept telling him it wasn't available yet because Nintendo was pretty slow about getting that out.

I love Pokemon. Started playing when I was a kid on Pokemon Blue, and I've been a fan ever since. My favorite is probably Gen 2, I remember being so hyped about it when it first came out.

Really excited about ORAS, too. I hope they have move tutors in it, I've got all these awesome bred pokemon with perfect stats and it would be really cool to get some new and special moves on them.

Also, Black and White weren't that bad. I like how they didn't have any pokemon from the old generations until you beat the elite four. It kind of gave me that fresh, first time playing the game ever sort of feel to it. Pushed me out of my comfort zone, made me try brand new guys instead of just playing with my old favorites.

Hard to say, each generation had its own uniqueness, took me a while to get used to the 3D graphics for X and Y but now that I have I find it strange to go back and play B2 and W2. Which ends up coming out smaller on my 3DS XL screen. But for some reason I find it difficult to beat the updated older generation games, like Heart Gold and Soul Silver. I had a TON of trouble with Diamond and Pearl, I never got to the Battle Frontier in Emerald either. I worked so hard to get up the tower to catch Rayquaza and I end up getting flattened by the Hoenn Champion and never finishing the game. Now I can't even move my hard earned Rayquaza over. Alas, I suppose I'll have to try again with the ORAS games coming out in November.

Mega Slowbro and Mega Audino accidentally both got leaked.
