    Well saying over 700 gives them a bit of wiggle room, that could be between 700 and 750.

    Well at that rate they could bring out 500 new Pokémon, that'd be over 700. :pac:

    Going to have to keep an eye out for a cheap 3DS over the next few months...god knows the prices will go up for them come October (what is a Nintendo console really other than a Pokemon platform? :P)

    Really didn't want to have to get a 3DS but...the fire starter looks so promising...

    Haven't even finished Black/White yet. Currently playing Emerald :P

    Yeah, I might see if I can get a second hand 3DS for a decent price. I'm not overly hopeful, but it could happen.

    Yeah I've seen a few for under 100 quid on ebay, will have to bite the bullet at some stage...I don't really play any other DS games other than Pokemon much, and I have a DS lite already, feels like so much money to invest just to play Pokemon :P

    It'll be a necessary upgrade though! There's been pokemon on the original DS since it launched in 2005 so that's 7 nearly 8 years ago. So invest in a 3DS and you're good for hopefully another 7 or so years :)

    When I buy a 3DS, I'm going to have to justify it by playing Zelda too.

    I like a new cast, and all, but I'm kinda looking forward to having a few critters with ties to past-gens again, be they prevolutions or evolutions. I guess it just mixes up the cast-list for me, a bit. Obviously, nothing too extreme, like making half the cast a super-powered upgrade to something like Dragonite, but I find it fun having a smattering of new slants put on established monsters.

    I really, really want a pre/evolution of Pincer, Heracross and Tauros. That alone will make me go out and by a 3DS.

    I do hope the new Pokémon are more like the earlier ones, based on real animals, bugs etc. more believable.

    I want no links(in terms of pre evolutions) to unova pokemon. It feels like gen 5, while not bad, has just been filler, while they were working on this.

    C'mon Baguette Pokémon!

    I just got a 3DS for Christmas. Ordered an enhanced battery today, because JAYSUS that battery life is abysmal. I lasted 2 bleedin' weeks.

    Like, it was fully charged before the League yesterday, barely played, red light today after maybe an hour. On power save.

    I keep meaning to order one, because yes it indeed is. Where did you order yours from?

    If we're on the subject of eeveelutions, I'd be keen on a flying one, solely for the sake being able to have an entire Eevee squad, without the need for a HM-slave.

    Everyone slams the newer ones in favour of the classics, but seriously, if some of the original 150 came out today there'd be eyebrows raised.

    Mr. Mime what even are you.
