I was really excited about Gen 6 at first... and X/Y almost made me get the 3DS. But after reading the feedback from players who have already completed the game, I thought twice about purchasing it. The updated graphics did look interesting, but the overall game difficulty and plot kinda put me off. I find the latter point very important in games such as Pokemon (which is why I love the PMD series so much (except GoI) - although it may be my personal preference) - which is what X/Y lacked in my opinion. I know I may be wrong - because I never played X/Y, but that's my overall impression of it.
ORAS, however, is another story. I probably have played R/S/E about 50 times, and it plays an important part of my childhood - so I'm really curious to find out how they remade it. I refrained from reading major spoilers - so hopefully I will be satisfied with ORAS once I get it... eventually.
