Ok, so it's been over two weeks. Since I'm sure almost all of us have beaten X and Y, I think this thread would be a cool idea.

This is for those of you who said you were going to leave /vp/ in October and/or when leaks started happening, and would then come back when you finished the single-player story.
>When did you leave?
>Did you follow through with your plans?
If not:
>Did you leave at all?
>What made you stay/come back?
If so:
>What was your experience like with X and Y?
>What new things did you "discover" on your own?
>What was the coolest/most interesting new thing you found?
>Was it tempting to come back and look at leaks?
>Did you find all the new Pokémon without internet help?
>What was your favorite Pokémon you hadn't seen before?
>Did anybody outside of /vp/ spoil anything for you?
>Did you get stuck/need help at any point?
>Do you think you'll do the same thing for Gen VII or any other future Gen?
