C-Gear, pointless?! D:
From what I understand, on the Touch Screen you can toggle between the Player Search System (upgraded C-Gear, essentially), Pokémon-Amie, and Super Training.

Woo ShopTo dispatched my copy earlier 
I won't be home until late tomorrow night, all I ask is that it comes Friday!

Super Training consists of minigames that you play to boost EVs as far as I understand. PSS, Pokémon Amie and the PSS are all their own screens that occupy the bottom screen. You can switch between them seamlessly, though. I think there are also some shortcuts on the PSS for things like saving and going to your bag and such.
You just need to pick it up and start playing, and everything else will come after. Nothing competitive will matter for actually playing through the campaign.

Is there a canonical map of how all the pokemon regions piece together?

They design these so that people who have never played a video game before can jump right in. I think you'll be OK.
It's still a game aimed at kids, not SpaceChem. Unless you want to get into pro-battling or something like that (which is not happening during your first playthrough), then you'll pick everything up on the way and be just fine.
Whats the competitive scene like? How hard would it be to build a good team and actually stand a chance online?

Picked my copy up today in the UK from my friendly neighbourhood indie games shoppy and just waiting for my XL to charge before getting stuck in.
Go team Froakie.

Fixed. my bad.
Has anyone NOT had a despatch email from ShopTo?
I haven't, but when I log into my account it shows as completed with a little picture of the package :lol
I need reassurance.
Most of us got the emails late.
I got it at 4pm for X and 4:30pm for Y :lol but they were both complete beforehand.
If it has the number 24 on the package then it coming tomorrow is a good chance.
Yes, it has a 24 on the package. I paid the £1.99 for tracked delivery so fingers crossed! xD
I was in the same situation. Turns out the emails ShopTo sent me confirming that they had charged me for the preorder and dispatched the game got caught in my email's spam filter, and I had to log into my ISP's webmail and look in my spam folder to get them.Has anyone NOT had a despatch email from ShopTo?

They dispatched my copies on Monday after I ordered on Sunday when I saw tesco saying they had them in stock available for immediate delivery, thought it was worth a try and I'm glad I did.
Not sure on the maximum box number, when you start you have access to 7 boxes plus the battle box, I'm sure that goes up quickly tho.
My one thing I will say that already pleases me greatly with this game, it literally only takes one second to save opposed to the 40 seconds for the DS games

Best news I've heard all week.
It's actually a bit tempting to go digital now, since that means gameplay would be almost truly portable with instant saves and no carts to carry. Oh well, I have my copies from Gamestop, and as long as they don't screw me over somehow, I'm getting both games (one for a friend) and that sweet timeline poster.
I'm with you on that, it's super tempting, but then you can't transfer save to a different system...I would really prefer having it digitally for the convenience of it, but I guess I'll have to get the cart to be on the safe side. Pokémon Bank sort of helps I guess, but not enough, I need cloud saves for my Pokémon/saves. Oh well...Phsyical media wins for once!

How can UK stores pretty much ignore street dates? I'm just curious.
And Mad.

The presentation is amazing so far. I was all ready to go Froakie and then I saw Chespin's happy little face in 3D and had to have him.
About an hour in. I spent 20 minutes poking Chespin in the belly on his stats page to make him grumpy though. I'm sure you could probably do that in the previous DS games but this is my first Pokemon since the mighty GBA days.

Brick and mortar stores are not ignoring the date. Only online retailers are because we don't get post on Saturday in most areas. If they didn't send them early, it would be Monday before we got them.
Hi there. I'm a first time Pokemon player. Could someone tell me, whether I should level grind in the early stages of the game or just let it flow on its own?
My MegaTen instinct tells me to catch everything that comes at me and grind it to keep a more or less equally leveled party. Is this the way to go in X&Y?

I prefer to keep an equally-leveled party. Sometimes that requires grinding, sometimes it doesn't. Keep in mind that a "party" can be anywhere between 2 and 6 Pokemon, though. Usually I train a party of 4 for the main game and keep another couple around for HM utility.

I bought mine from brick and mortar today. Its a little indie that has been running for 20+ years but he did have them openly out on display for purchase.
Let it flow. It's easy enough if you follow the type chart, it's not MegaTen.
Ok, so there's that - thanks. Now about catching - should I catch everything from the beginning or will I stumble upon the same Pokemon (but higher-leveled) in later areas?
That would be preferable but considering the sheer number of these little buggers the game has I doubt it repeats them across the land.

It's easier to train them from scratch. Plus they'll be stronger due to EV's gotten while you raise them.
It's really up to you, I like catching the first of a new pokemon no matter the level, and then if I need to catch more so be it
Probably good to just ignore natures, EVs, IVs, and all that, male/female doesn't really matter either, at least early on

Getting this game tomorrow, since Shopto already sent mine. SO HYPED!
For some reason I just ain't feeling it. I've bought each main Pokémon game day one but here I just haven't bothered placing an order.
I never finished White 2 so I wonder if I've just had too much for the moment.
But still maybe I'll place an order tonight off Amazon (yes I know I'll get it late) simply because I haven't bought a 3DS game since New Leaf.
