Your Pokemon X/Y Thoughts (SPOILERS ALERT)

[MexicanAnime]

So X and Y is pretty great so far guys. The routes are much longer and it takes around some good hours to just get into the second gym leader. Granted, this isn't as bad thing as there's more detail in many areas that enrich the experience while expanding it as well.

So with the whole Charizard appearing in the anime, Pokemon origins, and many things in the new Pokemon games like having the starters from Gen 1 available, using a Poke Flute on a Snorlax, and even the "I like shorts" joke thrown in there, what do you guys make of Pokemon trying to appease more to the older fans? I'm curious as to why, but it seems to be working for them as far as sells go.
