@AbysmalDemonI have a bit of interest in this and certainly could play an aspiring coordinator. However,I have to ask why having played X/Y is needed? Specially when this will be a new region with an original plot. The last game that I played was Leaf Green and from there on I never had the chance to lady my hands on any Pokemon game again.
If it's just because of the Mega Evolution, shouldn't out be the Professor's rule to teach the children about it? And if it's about the new Pokemon, we can always use the wiki as a surrogate pokedex.
Anyway, I'm waiting for your answers. See ya!
Yea Im just gonna point out abysmal, this guy does raise some key questions
