Yeah, I don't have the money for x/y either.. I've tried playing pokemon games on the computer, but it's not really as fun as on a handheld (to me, at least) Emerald is my favorite is my favorite game :)
Water, Psychic, and Ghost are my favorite types, Dark and Ice are great too though! I'm not a huge fan of most fire types but I love Volcarona and Torchic/Blaziken, and Ninetales and Braixen are really cool too. I can't wait to see Fennekin's final evo :) it seems like it will be the most interesting and different of the Kalos starters
Thanks :) I love Umbreon! Espeon is my favorite eeveelution, but Umbreon is a close third after Vaporeon :) (Sylveon is pretty cute too, I mainly love it's piercing soulless eyes, very Kyubey)
