Maybe I haven't been following pokemon news closely enough, but I'm pretty sure I have seen all of the US/UM trailers, and most of the screenshots and news on serebii, and I just don't get it.

What is supposed to make these games good? Where are the actual improvements? Is there a new story? All I see is gimmicky new features and like two new pokemon that look retarded.

I'm probably gonna buy one of them but I just don't understand what they are supposed to be. They are advertising them differently then other sequels/third games.
