First simultaneous worldwide release, and getting even closer to a 3D Pokemon game.

This is going to sell a ton of 3DS.

Great, now I have to wait for these spell to cast, further hinder my prefered fast pace pokemon combat.
And these newer generation pokemons are childish looking. I wish they had more of Arcanine and Scyther.

Back to GBA emulator.

Never played any of these games, but why are there always 2 released at once? Is it just a blatant cash grab?

I think it's to encourage people to engage each other in their pseudo multiplayer to trade pokemons. I don't think many people buy both versions.

I always thought a 3d world offering was long overdue, but the semi-3d world they have seems weak. And yeah, like b0nafide said there's a good chance there will be a bunch of unskippable filler cutscenes in them. Personally I could only enjoy pokemon on an emulator that was played at 5x+ speed.

I thought X & Y was a placeholder when i read that this morning... so silly.
Maybe they'll give NA a better looking 3DS XL now though!

And what's funny is that the inevitable Pokemon Z will be the definitive version.

This. I can't play it either at 1x. 200x should be a preferred speed level. Faster grind.

Think most people here just want to see the franchise evolve beyond what it was 15 years ago. The core mechanics are sound but Nintendo has been really conservative with the franchise which has caused it to become stale. Hopefully this version changes that but it's still no substitute for a full fledged console RPG.
