Haha. The game file is so big, that's why downloading is going to take a long time. That's why I've already bought both X and Y and i'm picking them both up in the morning.

I thought about just driving to gamestop, but I just don't feel like it. x3 It costs the same in store or from the e-shop, since they charge tax either way. I may buy X in the future, but I'll need to buy another SD card for that.

That's the downside for downloading things. You need SD cards to save them on which is just extra things to buy :P SO it's really more money.

That's why I prefer just getting the cartridge; so much faster to the fun. What starter are you going for; I'm kinda torn between Chespin and Fenniken.

For me, it's between CHespin and Froakie. Probably going with Froakie first.

I dunno why, but I just don't like Froakie. I lean towards chespin because I've always chosen grass and I lean towards fenniken because I like it's design, but froakie just doesn't sit well with me.

Really. I like frogs so Froakie sits very well as my favorite so far. I'm not too keen with Fennekin and its evolutions. Not to mention the fire starter is always so overrated. It's always got to be the favorites of many people and I hope it's actually the least favorite this time around. lol

See, Greninja looks badass in my opinion.
Chesnaught looks pretty cool and I'd like to see how a new grass and fighting type will work out.
As for Delphox, I'm not really liking its design. Yeah, it looks like a witch. Whoop tee doo. Not impressed

I'll agree on you with the overratedness of fire starters and I completely despise them for that; I just wanted to give it a chance because I kinda like the mage look. I feel that water starters are often overlooked and grass starters are downright shat upon. The whole megacharizard thing kinda pisses me off too. Oh yay, he's a dragon now. Yippedy FUCKING doo! Y'know, Blastoise and Venusaur are also Kanto starters; why not give them a little more love that a bigger flower and some arm cannons.
Separate note; I hope Dunsparce has an evolution so it's potential isn't wasted.
