I didn't exactly know what to expect from Zelda 3ds, and even as a newer fan I feel that a return to the old 2d style is due. However, the game is not fully 2d as seen when Link turns into the flat image on the wall. Personally I think we should wait for more info before we trash the game.
I don't think that Nintendo will make another game in the style of PH and ST because that would take away from the big feature of the 3ds: the 3D. I suspect that we will see a game more in the style of OoT 3d.
I know people are speculating left and right about the introduction of a light type, and I think Sylveon looks like it could be light type. I know that people are saying that the type system is perfectly imbalanced as it is, but this isn't necessarily true. As a move type, the ice type rules...
We're discussing Zelda 3ds here, not Zelda Wii U. Although those ideas could work for either.
That doesn't make much sense, considering that PH came out 4 years before the 3ds came out.
Reshiram. I feel that Zekrom gets more love than it deserves, especially considering that Reshiram is flat-out better (just check any competitive battling website). I'm a little sad that Kyurem got no votes, though.
I got three random encounters at the airport, the rest were my friends and I tagging each other on purpose.
Edit:
You can do that? I think I'll head over to that target four blocks from my house more often now.
