Pokemon X and Pokemon Y 

we weren't eXpecting that.

So Pokemon has just announced the newest generation of Pokemon games for the 3DS, Pokemon X and Pokemon Y.

I know not the best names, but at least it's not black and white!

So the game is a big step in the Pokemon franchise with them finally getting over their love affair with the DS and releasing a full Pokemon game on the 3DS. Now this is going to be a big change to all Pokemon fans with the game being in full 3D but even though it's a big change it still looks like Pokemon and you've got to admit the battles look even cooler then Battle Revaluation.

Looking at the game trailer it looks like this game is modeled after places like England and France but if I could point out something everyone seemed to miss: at the beginning a Pikachu says that this is a big announcement for the world blah blah blah POKEMON, then it zooms out and the trailer starts, but if you pause it as it zooms out, you can see what the Pikachu is standing on.

I do believe that's the EIFFEL TOWER! So we can take a good guess that this game is based off of Paris.

Now on to the Pokemon, but before I go on, I just want to say, for me personally I like them when they feel like Pokemon, black and white didn't feel like Pokemon to me now I have grown to like some of them, but I am going to be more open with this generation.

So here are the three starters:

First we have the grass starter Chespin, which looks like a grass version of a pachirisu so expect a lot of girls to pick that one.

Next, we have the fire starter Fennekin, which is just another fire fox Pokemon so this one will be the most popular, the fire types always are.

And finally we have the water starter Froakie, now this has got to be my favorite design just look at him! He's a french frog that's awesome!

Now we don't have their evolutions yet but I think we all know who were going to pick, and I would like to say I really like their names not too hard to pronounce but still very cool.

Now the two legendaries don't know their names yet so we'll just call them legend-X and legend-Y.

Legend-Y is the more loved of the two and you can see why. I haven’t seen a Pokemon that crazy since giratina and I know it's just as cool and is going to have a good story behind it.

Legend-X the Pokemon arces could never be.
This Pokemon looks like it jumped out of a hayao miyazaki movie and that makes it cool in my book (or blog), but I think I need to point out a certain fake Pokemon game that went around in the past and how there might be something similar now.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Now the biggest thing the games have going for them is the fact that their being released on the same day WORLD WIDE, that's right! The Japan's versions and the western versions are being released at the same time.

This isn't just big for Pokemon, this is big for gaming in general, since forever Pokemon games were released in japan, then America, then every were else. So now we all get the games at the same time which means we all play at the same time and we all have the same experience.

With the power of the Internet you can go to google and look up the game you want to know about and right away know ever thing about it even before it gets to America.

It's 2013 the world is no longer that big of a place we need to stop treating it like it is.
