Well now there is. I got X on release day and have been playing it ever since. 15 hours of playtime nonstop on Saturday alone .-.
I bought a 3DS just for this game and it was more than worth it. Everything I wished for in gen 1 and 2 are here. Everything I hated in gen 3 and 4 are not here. They're using 3D models now, not sprites. Pokemon battles are a lot more animated. Pokemon from all generations will show up, not like the previous generations where all you'd get were new pokemon until you unlock some sort of national dex. I was able to get many of my gen 1 favorites. The entire OST sounds great too.
Anyways enough blabbering. Here are some pretty pictures of me!
Story spoiler!
Also when you surf on a Lapras, you are shown riding Lapras around on the water. Any other pokemon just defaults back to a blue sphere.
Oh and there are Pikachu early in the game. A lot of Pikachu.
Did I mention there are a lot of Pikachu?
