All the local Walmarts scare the shit out of me. >_>

 

[SkullHydra]

Is it safe to say that everyone is doing midnight release?

No, it's not. None of the Gamestops in my area are having a midnight launch. T-T

When does the NDA for Pokemon X & Y end? I know they won't show off the starters but maybe they'll reveal everything else.

[zroid]

just got an email from NoC, they're doing a bunch of Pokémon launch events across the country

Downtown Toronto has the "main" event:

THE GATHERING WILL BE TAKING PLACE ON:

October 11th from 3:00pm to 9:00pm

WestJet Stage at the Harbourfront Centre

235 Queens Quay W.

***

This is the first worldwide launch of a Pokémon title and we are celebrating by hosting our launch event alongside other launch events happening around the world!

When you come down, you will be able to play Pokémon X and Pokémon Y before it hits the shelves! Don’t forget to bring your own Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo DS and your favourite Pokémon titles since this is a great opportunity to meet other Pokémon fans, exchange tips and maybe even trade a Pokémon or two.

Pokémon fans may walk away with an item to commemorate the launch of Pokémon X and Pokémon Y and Canada’s largest Pokémon gathering! Arrive early as giveaways are limited.

In addition, if you come down dressed up as your favorite Pokémon or Trainer you may receive a Poké Ball Game Case*.

*While supplies last.

[DaBoss]

I don't know if I want to go to that.

 

[zroid]

I'll go if I can drag someone along...

or i might go to the richmond hill one. less transit fare needed (ie none).

 

[subtles]

So no special Pokemon giveaways? I think I'll pass. I do wonder why they prefer in-store events and do less Wi-fi now.

It brings people into the stores to buy more games.

In theory

Are you going to the Vancouver release event? I just might, if the giveaway is decent. Of course it'd be optimal if FS had a midnight release that I could just go to right afterwards, but... FS

 

[Boss Doggie]

C-Gear is what happens when you try to use 3DS functions on a DS.

Going to be in California and Arizona from October 11th to 27th so nope =[ EXP is having a launch event on Sunday that I wanted to do as well: https://www.facebook.com/events/1421693911385029/

 

[zroid]

If I go to the T one, I'll probably "dress up" as Hilbert. And by that I mean, wear a blue zip-up hoodie, black jeans, a shoulder bag, and a baseball cap. I might decorate the cap a bit to look like his.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Oh yeah.

*clears throat*

On the first day of October
GameFreak gave to me

A pidgey on an oak tree!

I think I'll do one each day

Or maybe you guys can help each day!

I'm totally going to the New York one dressed as Marcus from Digimon just to confuse everyone.

Spoiler

Or at least I would if I were able to go

 

[-Horizon-]

As unlikely as it might be, if we somehow get an actual confirmation and trailer of Pokken Fighters in the Direct tomorrow, it would be insane.

C-Gear is what happens when you try to use 3DS functions on a DS.

Worthless feature for me.

 

[Boss Doggie]

It pretty much is. But at leas it evolved something to what XY uses.

The potential of what X/Y can do in terms of wireless features and whatnot definitely has me more excited than B/W ever did.

 

[PS_GUY]

For anyone who's looking for something fun to keep themselves preoccupied until the games are released, I found two contests that you can enter.

Bulbagarden: http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbagarden_X/Y_Launch_Giveaway
Pokemon X and Pokemon Y (not official): http://pokemonxandpokemony.com/?page_id=12156

[Dr. Buni]

[SkullHydra]

I think I have a problem guys. All night long, I literally dreamt that people were spoiling X and Y in this thread. Seriously. DX

You catch Pokemon, battle gym leaders and eventually beat the champion.

You don't believe me, bro? My uncle is Mr. Reginald Nintendo, he gave me the game because he loves me.

 

[MicH]

Aaand White Treehollow completed That was done surprisingly fast

#TeamChespin

 

[zroid]

Chespin's a hippie confirmed

 

[Zeroth]

Fennekin has stars on its background. Stars show up on people's head when they are hit by fighting moves.

Fennekin Fire/Fighting confirmed.

 

[subtles]

Someone get Froakie to crack a smile.

 

[Dr. Buni]

I wonder why they draw Froakie with a sad face in most of its artworks.

#TeamFennekin here, btw

Spoiler

 

[Aggrotek]

Spoiler

Because he is sad that he has to be grouped with losers.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Go green!

Go #TeamChespin!

 

[Dr. Buni]

Because he is sad that he has to be grouped with losers.

Or it is sad because its evolutions looks hideous

 

[Growlie19]

Alright, #TeamFroakie is making a splash! No effect.... Sigh.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Heh, Fennekin's head is a broom, Chespin's a cabbage, and Froakie's a football.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

I can't unread Hippie Chespin.

 

[Charlie0108]

#TeamFennekin! Closing in on 9 days (hopefully)!

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

I still don't understand why Fennekin's head is so massive.

 

[Zelias]

#TeamFennekin all the way.
