Post is too long, so I've made two parts. Part 1;
No problem, I didn't visit Serebii for a month either. I was afraid you already had replied, because I couldn't visit Serebii for a pretty long time. I've had quite some exams the last month, so I was busy as well.
A manager at a store? Sounds like a pretty fun job to me, actually. What's it like to be a manager?
I agree with you on the asymmetrical issue, they would have been cooler if they were symmetrical. Although the bigger left claw of Kyurem-Zekrom is a pretty nice touch, IMO. I'm pretty happy with the boxart as well. This might sound strange to you, but I really like it when the boxart is awesome. It's better than the standart Sugimori art. I always like the Sugimori art, but I prefer something else for the boxart.
Because I still play a lot of competitive Pokémon, I hope there are some cool (or old, like the elemental punches) move tutors. Especially Fire Punch, I'm getting pretty tired of Ferrothorn, actually. I'm also having my fingers crossed for Sleep Talk, I really like Resttalkers. And I hope they return the Lead metagame. It was one of my favourite parts of playing 4th gen, but I'm afraid they will keep the current system. I actually can't think of any non-competitive changes. It's quite strange, really. I always think of new features I would like, but when someone asks me that, I'm drawing a blank lol. The only thing I can think of is the return of the Contest minigame, which I really like. Besides that- other minigames, and some more info on Team Plasma. What about you?
