I'm so glad I've gotten to know her better over the last year or so.<br /><br /><br />Thank you for the kind words about this blog, by the way. I really appreciate them, and I hope I can continue to publish stuff in the coming weeks/months/years that will interest you.<br /><br /><br />As for Pokemon in 2D or 3D: I understand preferring the 2D games. I tend to prefer 2D, sprite-based games myself, as there's always something more charming about them than 3D, polygon-based games.<br /><br /><br />That said, I'm curious to try out Pokemon X/Y. I think Nintendo does a better job than most developers of moving 2D games into 3D, and I have a feeling these games won't be an exception.<br /><br /><br />Anyway, I look forward to hearing what you (and others, too, of course) think of these games after they're finally released.<br /><br /><br />Thanks again for the comment. Hope to see you back here again!thegaygamer.comhttp://www.thegaygamer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-2076312661106290302013-01-13T13:23:11.558-08:002013-01-13T13:23:11.558-08:00Hey Mr.Gay Gamer.

I'm a frequent reader/commenter person on Anne's quirky little blog and I often see you commenting with some interesting stuff so I thought I'd come here and check you out ;), and sure enough, more interesting stuff here also!<br /><br />So thanks for a great post, I honestly do not know what to think of Pokemon X and Y, I am very much a fan of the traditional 2D Pokemon for the Gameboy Colour. I have barely touched any Pokemon games for a few generations (console generations I mean, I'm not a timelord or anything) but I am slightly intrigued as to how this one will go down with the long time fans!<br /><br />I for one think that it looks quite groovy, can't wait to see how it plays, and yes I will definately give it half a play at least!<br /><br />Thanks for reading my comment,<br />Billy WalkerBilly Walkerhttp://twitter.com/TheBloginatornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-42463300891437881292013-01-12T23:01:19.428-08:002013-01-12T23:01:19.428-08:00I don't think it's terrible, Josef!

That's my opinion, at least. <br /><br /><br />Anyway, I think you'll really enjoy your 3DS.

FFIX battles have such long battle intro and fighting animations that I always wonder why I keep playing the game... SNES games surely had a lot less animations since back then everything was really limited. <br /><br /><br />I'm usually pleased as long as there's an option to speed up the animations, skip them or if you've got an auto-battle option for easy fights. :Dmirukihttp://geekouts.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-54423015328981542412013-01-10T08:05:15.551-08:002013-01-10T08:05:15.551-08:00Ha ha!
