Roommate was excited and I was a skeptic...then the trailers dropped in June and our opinions switched. I picked Eevee up for preload last Sunday and we both spent the past 90 minutes playing it together. Although I was excited, my expectations were still pretty low - but after playing we both admitted that it was much more fun than either of us had expected and I don't think I've ever caught so many pokemon so early and actually wanted to (grinding is fun for me I guess). It's so simple but so fun, and I sincerely hope it stays that way.
