Other Info:

-Region is called Kalos.
-Nintendo has stated the number of Pokémon now is to be over 700.
-Trainer Customization (Initially, you can pick from 3 different designs for your trainer then as the game progresses you can customize clothes and accessories at a Boutique and Salon)
-Certain Pokemon can be ridden in certain areas.
-The brand new type is Fairy type. Jigglypuff, Gardevoir, Sylveon, Mawile, and Marill are all Fairy types.
-Sky Battles (you can fight "distant" trainers, those standing on a cliff or ledge or far away and of course only Pokemon that can fly are eligible)
-Horde Encounters (one of your Pokemon must take on multiple foes at once)
-Pokemon-Amie (you play with your Pokemon via the Touch Screen. Playing nicely and giving them treats they live increases friendliness which can increase performance in battle. But they are capable of not liking what you do)
-Photo Spot (basically you can take pictures)
-Player Search System (PSS) (you can find other people playing X&Y, nearby or globally)
-New forms called Mega Evolutions, certain Pokemon can change forms into Mega Forms (only during battle) if they are holding the correct item (generally called Mega Stone but name is unique to each Pokemon, i.e. Blazikenite and Lucarionite)
-Like some previous games, X&Y will be sold via a special download card in various retail stores across Japan (along with the regular hard copy and eShop download). You need at least 1.7GB available to download the game and if you have both versions downloaded onto the same platform they will not be able to communicate.
-Professor Sycamore will be giving you Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander (you pick one as usual) and that starter can Mega Evolve.
-It will be one of your friends who will give you a choice between Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie.
-Pokémon Bank is a Cloud Storage app for 3DS which allows for 100 boxes to be stored on the Internet. Pokémon Transporter includes connectivity to DS games. Pokémon can be sent to the Cloud and then transferred to Pokémon X & Y. Pokémon Transporter comes when you purchase Pokémon Bank.
-Pokémon Bank requires an annual fee.
-Special Red & Blue Nintendo 3DS XL have been announced for North America and Europe. They will be released on September 27th
-It is confirmed that you will need to obtain a bracelet called the Mega Ring that holds a mysterious stone called a Key Stone. The Trainer’s Key Stone resonates with the Mega Stone held by his or her Pokémon.
-Steel has lost it's resistance to Dark and Ghost (currently unconfirmed)
-No Kalos region Pokemon will get a MegaEvolution
-Ghost types are no longer affected by moves that prevent fleeing such as Mean Look. Grass Pokémon can't be seeded or affected by moves such as SleepPowder or Stun Spore. Electric types can no longer be Paralysed

Likewise. I actually like Froakie, the water starter. I love that it'll be internationally released and include old Pokémon before the end of the game. Cannot wait to hear more and get my hands on it!

I think I might choose Fennekin. All the starters look super cool.

I wonder if I should get a purple or black 3DS.

I'm in the same boat, and like them all too, forgot to mention that earlier.

Fennekin is my favorite too! I like the grass starter too, but I don't like Froakie.

And I also need a 3DS haha. I am hoping they will make an update to the 3DS so I don't buy one then it goes out-of-date right away

Oh wow just looked at a bunch of screenshots of the game. I think this is the first time the player characters have such a contrast in brown hair color.

It's a shame that the female character is wearing red... I dislike red, but other than that, both of the characters look really good in my opinion! I hated the females in the fifth generation games with a passion, so I'm really glad they look good this time!

EDIT: So, just curious: Which, X or Y, do you think you will get? I'm thinking X for myself, but I could maybe change my mind when I see the legendaries. X and Y remind me of chromosomes, which is why I thought X... I'm such a nerd XD. Also, I just like blue more than red, which is the exact reason I got Sapphire when it came out, as opposed to Ruby.

I was thinking Y, simply because most everyone will get X because it sounds cooler. Same reason partly why I got White 2.

Did you want Y before you saw my chromosome thought?
