I used to play the TCG with my friends for a while, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when I was much younger. Still have the cards, I think.
Regarding Pokémon Sun & Moon:
I was expecting a Pokémon Z, but this is also nice. Hopefully the starters'll be good (or at least better than Chikorita... Still get annoyed when I remember how bad that... whatever-Chikorita-is was).
Also, hoping Magearna's good, because I like the design.
Alsoalso, hoping we get a Dark-type gym this time. It's been 5 gens since Dark debuted (6 once Sun & Moon come out), and I'm pretty sure every other type has at least one gym, so it's about damn time Dark got a gym. Especially hoping it's one of the later ones.
On the subject of gyms, can we please, please, please get another double battle gym like that one from Hoenn (y'know, the Psychic one)? I liked that one, and I'd like to see another one like it.
Alsoalsoalso, I wonder what kind of tree this region's professor will be named after? Random thought, I know, but still.
Alsoalsoalsoalso, do you think the Pokémon amiibo'll do anything with Sun & Moon?
Finally... I'm not as hyped as I feel like I should be. Probably because I don't know anything beyond version names and that Magearna... exists. Hopefully I'll get excited when we see some new stuff. Like the starters.
Also, Celebi's available for download starting today. Just go to Mystery Gift > Get Via Internet (or whatever that option is) and download yourself a LV100 Celebi.
Dunno if all the 20th anniversary event pokémon'll be delivered this way from Celebi on (I know Mew wasn't, but I dunno about future ones), but I hope so.
If there's no Mega Solock and Mega Lunatone, there's going to be hell to pay.
Eh, hopefully they'll get something this time, but I dunno if they'll see Mega Evolutions. Maybe regular evolutions into better rocks?
Mega Flygon needs to happen this time tho. Also, Mega Raichu would be nice for the neglected electrodent. Also Mega Meganium, since regular Meganium sucks (at least from what I remember of Gold/Silver, anyway). Finally, please Nintendo, make Mega Electrode, and make it look like a Master Ball. Please.
