how easy is to get into 'competitive' pokemon?
should I start now or once x/y comes out?

Haven't played since crystal

Start now, just because the things to learn are a bit overwhelming. Do some research on Smogon. Watch some vids on youtube.

And you may want to start seriously when x/y come, just because (with the new typing and all) everyone is going to be learning at that point.

Forget it, you're better off learning off gen 6's metagame instead of the present one

If you arent already decent at this point, theres no point for you to even try

Go on Pokemon Showdown and play random battles. The pokemon have preset builds and you'll quickly learn without having too much difficulty considering your opponent is also using randoms. Once you get a feel for it try making a team. You'll only find out what you're missing from a balanced team from experience.

also quick tip, competitive pokemon is basically chess, so it will probably come easier to you if you're good at stuff like that
