Well, at least I got the catalog which allows me to price match for $15 less.
I guess that makes up for not being able to get it early.

I know someone from the Footy thread who is going to do that. He's in a desperate search of 2DS bros. Why would one even consider that ugly thing

The way they placed the touch screen makes it look like it would be kind of a pain in the ass to use.
At least this time around I know people will be only getting it a few days earlier than me if they're lucky. Watching how America was playing AC: New Leaf two weeks before Europe was way worse
I'm surprised there's still not a single shop over here in The Netherlands that broke the release date. Just a few webshops who shipped early.

It's less ugly than the OG 3DS by far.

I am MAD that you guys are getting the game 2 days early. These strict retail embargoes are only hurting brick and mortar stores. Nintendo and other publishers need to stop!
Next week is gonna be real busy for me. Need to get this game out of the way now.

I've spent so much money on Pokeballs so far and every Pokemon I've caught has been first attempt, that's how many there is.
The embargo is a joke. You've got all these online retailers shipping copies out super early and then stores with their hands tied unable to sell because Nintendo's looking over their shoulder.
I'm out of these threads for the next few days probably, because nowhere in Australia has broken yet

They always take at least 1-2 years to come out.

Part of EuroGaf and still have to wait 'till saturday. T_T Guess I shouldn't have preordered it at a brick and mortar.
Atleast I'm getting a Pokeball as a preorder gift though, ha.

So much for world wide release. Why did Europe get to release early and us 'Muricans didn't? Because they're communists?

I've seen a HMV store tweet that Nintendo is relaxing the rules if they get stock earlier than Friday so it seems at this point Nintendo UK are like "Well cats out the bag now, may as well roll with it!"
Also brick and mortar will be fine, not everyone will be jumping in day 1, Pokemon tends to be an "evergreen" seller + X & Y has a lot to attract people who havent played the series in a while.

should have all released at the same time.

Yes, well there's been so many copies sold outside of street date in the UK that it's not worth keeping the embargo anymore.
Does little for us in Australia though

Postman came!
Most of the people I was passing by in the game were actually Japanese players. Good mix of locations, though. Saw Japan, South Korea, France, United States.. It's definitely not just PAL regions.

PAL is definitely the most widespread street break though, as far as numbers go.
And wait, passers by are streetpasses or what? Doesn't seem like it if they're all from different countries.
You mean like Australian online buyers? Who are waiting till Monday?

No, Passerby is someone in the same area as you, but over the internet. Had a huge list of people that were also in the first town with me. I would say 90% of them were listed as Japan.

Hadn't heard about that future. Seems pretty cool.

Ha, everyone is tagging the pokemon they've encountered with spoiler tags...
I havent played a pokemon game (not sure why not) since Silver so I have no idea who these pokemon even are. Someone told me there are 450 new pokemons since I last played. I have put myself on "pokemon-media-blackout". All i've seen are the initial starter forms, no megas, no new ones for x-y.
Couldn't be more HYPED!!!

Interesting, sounds like a pretty cool mechanic. You can trade/battle with them right?
Robin64

Yeah, I could tap them and see more info, send them a message saying "Nice!" (no idea what that does), choose to trade or battle, view their PR video or buff them with the O-power (such as better catch rate for 10 mins).

I think I'm going to catch every Pokémon I see, but box any non-Gen 6 Pokemon.
Some reviewers did. Challenge comes from the way you play to be honest.
