@johto most of my memories of that era was on emulator, or later, on the 3DS. I bought my 3DS with along with many pokémon games (white, white2, soul silver, explorers of sky, and a bit later, platinum) a few days before X&Y were announced. So basically, in the first months I had my 3DS, I only played pokémon games. I liked the Dream World, though I played it during its last months it was up.
