To me, the style of the new game is very reminiscent of Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, what with the way the characters look and walk, and the fact that the map looks like it's overworld and towns. That said, I loved that game, so I'm certain I will like this one.
Looking through all the pics, I saw...
Someone on tumblr mentioned it could be the introduction of a new type altogether. And that Clefairy and Audino would be in this type. I'm not saying I believe it, but wasn't Umbreon the first dark type revealed? And Leafeon and Glaceon were the first to be revealed to evolve by location? Seems...
Hold on... the Oshawott has the name "Daibenki"... and the Rival's name is.... Sweet Potato?! XD So you can nickname your Pokemon before battling this time, huh?
EDIT: In the new images the Rival's name is Chikku. That might the default name.

At least for Black 2. White 2 might still have Iris.
I want to know when EEVEE is available! Also, I love how people get the games/magazines/everything ridiculously early over there. There are stores in my area which STILL don't have Pokemon Conquest.
I'm not sure why people think there will be entirely new Pokemon/starters when they haven't even officially revealed all of the Pokemon of this gen... That'd be getting WAY ahead of themselves. It'll be a minimum of a year and probably two or more before we hear of a Gen 6.
I just want to point something out, WPM. In the press release, it said there will be over 90 new POKEMON, not cards. So, if there are any Trainers at all the set will probably be 100-110.
Chandelure will be fun to play. :) Yay, baby deaths! Also wanting to try out a Mandibuzz (EP)/Hydreigon deck with 4 DCE. It sounds strange, but I think it could work.
Emerging Powers... Noble Victories... why the lofty names all of a sudden? Also, Noble Victories feels really close to Supreme...
Thanks to the numbers on the revealed Musketeers, it's really, REALLY likely that in EP we'll be getting Haxorus at least, and probably Hydreigon.
Cobalion is #77. Braviary is #88. Compiling all the promos, strength decks, and BW leftovers, we get:
Lillipup (Strength Deck)
Audino (BW)
Minccino...
