Just seeing that theme tune makes me want to book the entire rest of the week off work, not leave the house at all and watch the original series on Netflix.
The only issue I have with these games is that they're incredibly easy. I mean, obviously the story mode in all Pokemon games is easy, but the way the path splits after you beat the Ecruteak Gym is bad for the game. It's nice that you can choose which gym to go to next, but it means that until after you've beaten the Seventh Gym most of trainers have Pokemon that are much lower levelled than yours.
That's a minor quibble though, and it's a testament to the enduring quality of the Pokemon series that small issues like that can mean that you like a certain game more than another.
@Ralizah I agree completely. That this wasn't even mentioned at E3 is baffling, it must be for NX, though that wouldn't quite explain the 'very close to completion' thing.
It's interesting that a lot of people are describing this game as 'magical' and bringing them a sense of childlike wonder. I feel the exact same way about it, there's an incredibly difficult to explain extra layer of greatness over this game that elevates it and its sequel above or games like 3D World and Sunshine.
I'm quite excited about K. Rool being a Mii costume. If it means what I take it to mean (that K. Rool won't be a full blown fighter), it blows the fighter ballot wide open. I always thought we were likely to get either K. Rool or Inkling but with both of them seemingly ruled out I now have no idea who we'll end up with.

Re: Nintendo Shares Suffer Major Drop as Investors React to Miitomo and Its Delay
It's a transitional period, things going badly now isn't great, but they should be able to steady the ship in time.

I really should play HGSS again, this video has reminded me of Johto's excellence.
