Recapturing those feelings is impossible but it's fun to try =O

I will do what I did with B2: avoid story stuff and Pokemon locations, but not necessarily much else. Dunno. I guess it depends on if I can actually afford a 3DS, because if I can't afford one in close proximity to the game's release, I won't give a damn about spoilers.

>I thought Jeri was one of the people who voiced in the News thread, before I made this poll, that he would be trying to avoid spoilers. So either he forgot about ASB or else you overestimate the league's insistence on having Gen 6 Pokémon and attacks available out of the gate.

It really isn't of any value to me to try to make descriptions without having the actual game first and considering we have an simultaneous International release, this shouldn't be an issue this time around.

I'm not really sure on this. For the longest time I wasn't part of an online community so I was getting all of my intel from the Nintendo magazines I used to read, which was a couple of new 'mon, couple of new moves, new types (Gen II only, obv), stuff like that. When DP hit I occasionally looked up Bulbapedia to see what evolved into what and how.

Then I became part of an online community and ever since HGSS I've known things as soon as everyone else, and I'm not sure which I prefer. I mean I felt like I got Gen V mostly out of obligation to get a game. Same for Black 2, which I've not even played yet.

So I'm not not sure yet. I'll see how things go but I'll inevitably be unable to stop myself being spoiled.

Yay me for braking the stalemate XD
I love hearing new things, don't mind spoilers and am actually getting pretty excited about Gen 6, like I haven't been this excited about any gen since Gen 3.

Though I think that's probably due to me having more money at my disposal to afford a 3DS by the time Gen 6 is out too.

I'm going to walk into this one blind. I think the last time I've done this was in GSC, and I'd rather regret not being able to run throught the first time knowing everything than having the impact of the game weakened by the lack of anything surprising (which is what I did to myself in DPPt and BW).

Just popping to note that remaining unspoilered is possible somehow I know nothing more that the day I first found out about it.

Same? ^_^; But the real test of endurance hasn't come about yet. It's been, what, two or three weeks since the news broke about Pokémon XY? Not even enough time for the next issue of CoroCoro Magazine to come out. You won't really be able to declare "MISSION: POSSIBLE" until we get to May or June and you still remain as unspoilered then as you are right now.

Inevitably some of the new 'mon that are steadily revealed over the coming months will start popping up here and there, in people's avatars and what-have-you.

It's going to be pretty darned difficult to avoid at least seeing them, so I suppose for me the goal is to resist going 'Oh my gosh, what is that thing?!' and immediately Bulba-ing it.

Eh, if they start popping up in avatars I'll just take a hiatus 'til it comes out.

You have been warned.

Someone: "Hey, guys, it's our chance to get rid of Mapl-- Kin!"
