The thing I like most so far about X/Y is that they really seem to be appealing to long-time fans and collectors. None of this "only new mons until you reach an arbitrary point in the game" nonsense from B/W - from the very first route you're picking up new creatures and old favorites. You get a Gen 1 starter only a couple towns in. There's an opportunity to catch a freaking Snorlax before you face the second gym. And apparently you can catch Eevees in the wild!

B/W weren't bad (Team Plasma had decent music as far as evil teams go), but all of my agreement to this quote.

I didn't mean they were bad, far from it. But the way they restricted you to only catching Gen 5 mons until later on was a little ridiculous.

Y'all suck

My current team (it changes a lot) is a mix of old and new mons and I like each and every one of them. You wouldn't believe how much I d'awwwwwed when I discovered that my Zigzagoon actually runs in a zig-zag pattern during battle. I ain't evolving her; if I want a Linoone so badly I'll either catch one or evolve a second Zigzagoon just for that purpose.

I'm eyeing this new 4X on Steam, Horizon. Anyone try it? It doesn't seem to have a demo but it looks pretty fun.

Whoa, doublepost. How'd that happen? O_o

"I spent the last 30 years living on a 1000 trillion metric ton rock, hurtling through space at roughly 1000 miles per hour. I have lived my life on the rock that falls and causes everyone to die. Your arguments are invalid. My existence has been defined by awesome."

That said Frump, anyone else on this particular ball of rock can say the exact same thing (assuming they're smart enough to know what you're talking about )

Off-but-sorta-on-topic: Today was a GOOD DAY. Just a bunch of little things that made me happy, or at least amused me for a time.

Saw a deer standing on the side of the road. Seeing wildlife un-roadkill-ified is a pretty rare occurrence for me.
Passed through a place called Texarkana. Made me imagine a possible class for a possible parody RPG that uses Texan magic. Yee-haw!
Passed through another place called Friendship. Neither saw nor sensed any magic. Clearly MLP has been lying to all of us.
Completed two of three drops on time, or early even. The third one is a couple days from now, so we'll see how that goes.
After placing my order for dinner and using my CDL discount, total came out to exactly $7.77. Lucky me!

It IS pretty stern-looking though. I can see it becoming a meme.

The only real way to get "WEXP" in the tabletop version of FE is by taking the Discipline character skill.
