Seeing that trailer made me more excited than it should have. I never played anything of gen V, so I haven't played a new pokemon game since D/P (unless you count SS/HG as new, I did play that). I really like the look of the new battle screens, if they can pull off unique and good looking animations for each attack it will be spectacular, I think. It might be the reason that pushes the 3DS from not worth it to worth it.

Also, with all the recommendations PMD got here, I might look into getting one of them. Which one would people recommend, if any?

Well, I loved red rescue team, I have the explorers of sky or whatever it was called too, but I liked it less. Mayby because I was older than when I got it and red was my first DS game (along with new smb). One big difference is that the town in red feels more towny and less camp-y.

(Oh, and friend arenas are pretty awesome too.)

Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky had a really good story and good game play, it was also a bit longer than the first one I think.

Well, the first two was Gen III and one of them was on GBA with the other on DS, the latter two are Gen IV and both are on DS. There are also two more Gen V ones announced recently.

I'm not that qualified to judge about their stories, but both of the Gen III and IV duo had caused people to shed tears. But just like everything else, your mileage may vary.

Also, the last bits of fun I had was with my Espeon psybeaming at things screens away with a X-ray google equipped. Beyond visual range engagement at its best.

Ninja'd*3.

The Gen IV ones had a more mature story if you're into that. I prefer them over the Gen III ones.

Blue rescue team was the DS version, Red was on the GBA.

I feel this may be relevant. Last sentence of the second paragraph. Relevant moreso since if Pokemon Z does become a thing, I've been thinking its legendary will be a serpent/snake, to fit with the resembling-their-letter thing.

Sir, are you saying pokemon go to Valhalla/Fólkvangr?

I'm a retard -  still don't know anything past the second generation.

Thanks for the recommendations regarding PMD, I'll look into it see if I can get a hold of a cheap copy somewhere.

Regarding the Norse mythology connection to the legendaries, it could be pretty cool if exists. Norse mythology has some pretty cool stories and places to be inspired by.

I've been meaning to get my hands on a PMD game as well, so thanks for the recommendations!

Calling it if this theory turns out to be correct the cute legendary will probably be Ratatosk the squirrel.

Well, that's because anything past Gold and Silver simply doesn't exist. Don't listen to the crazies.

To be fair gold and silver is a pretty good place to stop.

Stuff kinda dries up for a while after that, admittantly I liked R&S but I realize I am in the minority.

Emerald is my fav but I do like black and white 1 and 2

Found something interesting on Pokebeach. Xerneas' eyes are red and blue, and have an X-shaped iris. This means that Xerneas contains color references to every single previous game. Red and blue in the eyes, gold and silver in the horns, ruby and sapphire in the horns, black and white in the legs... which makes me think that diamond/pearl are the blue body structure, but I'm not entirely sure on that part.

Gold, silver, ruby, and sapphire on the horns? To me it looks like red, blue, yellow, and beige.

And have we seen its other eye to confirm it's red? I looked at the trailer and I can only see the right one.

[Furtuka]

It looks blue to be in the picture linked
