I wish they had been giving Genesect away instead. At least then it would have been "Yeah, I'm here for that funky robot bug Pokémon with the giant cannon on it's back."
Funny you mention Genesect...from Serebii...

"Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 - UK Genesect Event - UNCONFIRMED
As the Keldeo event is now running, we're starting to get word from multiple GAME stores about another event that's going to occur on the release of Black 2 & White 2. According to these reports, GAME are stating that they will be distributing Genesect to Black 2 & White 2 players from the day of release. It's currently unclear if this will be the only way to get Genesect, since it's a WiFi event in Japan, if the US will receive it at the same time, and if the event matches the event Japan is currently receiving. Hopefully we will get confirmation of both the event, and method of distribution soon."

Hey, you (and us, by extension) may be getting our wish.

(Oh, and again please note that this is not confirmed in anyway. Yes I know it alludes to it in the news section above... =P)

Hey, least you have word of mouth. Us Americans haven't heard anything in the GameStop stores about Genesect.

Haven't played a main series Pokemon game since Pearl... Yeah, it's been awhile. I currently have Conquest, but I rarely play it. I don't have a problem with it or anything (I actually really enjoy it) it's just that I've been busy with other games. I'm hoping to get a copy of HeartGold this week, 'cause Gold was probably the only game in the series I really enjoyed. And by "really enjoyed", I mean playing it almost every hour of every day. Believe me, it's rare for a game to suck me in that much.

Not sure whether to get a Gen V game though.

I feel the exact same way about Conquest. It requires a fair amount of time to be invested into it in order to fully enjoy it.

I want to tackle Conquest myself; but I don't know if it'll be worth it. Maybe once you played through enough of the game you can give your impressions on it?

If you are gunning for a Gen V game; you could get the new ones Black2/White2. Most importantly it's the story that connects these games to the originals. Lots of features over BW that are, in my opinion, pretty good such as the PWT and Pokestar Studios.

Biggest con for B&W2 is that it's mixed gen from the start. Playing a Pokemon with nothing but new Pokemon was such a joy, B&W2 on the other hand has a sewer level where you get in double battles with Rattata and Zubat. fuck that.

Oh yeah them. Like Game Freak knew those those bastards would be perfect hate-bait for us down there.

....At least I can get me a Flygon and Arcanine in the main story for these games.
