This game is so pretty. Graphics are so colorful, animations are top notch and the gameplay feels so... fluid.

 

[titusandronicus]

Shit got real.

 

[killer_clank]

Got my copy today (X), rumours are that the place that sold it to me(and apparently has been since Tuesday) got fined and they don't care.

 

[Linius]

But if I could get a copy today, I'd go buy it. I need to download the shiny Giratina anyways. Tomorrow is the last day.

I never bothered with these legendary shiny Pokémon. If everyone can get them they don't seem so special to me no more.

But yeah, if a more expensive shops would break the release date I would throw in some extra money. It's quite sad when you think about it

 

[OcarinaOfDoom]

Someone tell me if any store in Maryland is selling this early please.

 

[Char Aznable]

meh....i'll probably have to wait another week to get my preorder in peru ;__;

 

[Highwind]

I live in Japan with a US 3DS, that's why it matters to me.

You might be in luck but if it works it'll be locked to your system.

See, I just like having them. It's not even about using them or bragging about them. I like going and grabbing them like a stamp on my passport that I was there. I will bust out the games after I've moved on to another title if it means going and downloading an event one.

If I want to make them special, then I'll spend time with them and build memories using them. That's what makes a pokémon special to me. Not if they are shiny, not their distribution, or spawn rate. It's my personal attachment from them being on my team.

 

[Netto-kun]

Hooray for early copy. And wow, the game looks really great.

 

[Kouriozan]

My bro and me traded/resetted until we both got all 6 starters, nearly took us 3 hours! Phew!
Now I can finally start my journey

 

[Mother Green]

The Torchic giveaway starts on Saturday, right? Damn.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Shit got real.

Rumour was a fine of $2000CAD for each unrecoverable game and the store sold at least 40...

How does that work exactly? Doesn't one of you have to start fresh? The games saves at a trade, no?

Edit: Nevermind realised what you meant.

 

[Rocky]

I can see this gen will bring some interesting gifs. Can't wait to see a gif like that with lopunny, lol.

 

[chronosic]

So are they giving away the shiny giratina at EB in Canada? How do you go about getting it?

 

[JustProgress]

Where can someone get this game in say College station area

 

[entremet]

Is there a list for FCs here?

 

[JCX]

Gamestop is the only US retailer with a preorder bonus, right? Might need to cancel my Amazon order.

 

[The Shadow Knight]

Question for those with the game: is the Torchic distribution live?

 

[Linius]

Question for those with the game: is the Torchic distribution live?

Someone on the previous page said that's it not. Probably on the official release date.

 

[Spruchy]

New York City (NYC) anyone know what spot to get it at?

Bring your 3DS/DS with B/W/2 to EB Games and select Mystery Gift in the main screen after the title screen. Then choose Receive from Wireless and just wait till it saves. Then in-game, go into a Pokemon Center and talk to the guy standing to the left near the entrance/exit.

Solid, thanks!

Goddamn, son

 

[7echnicolor]

For those in Austin TX, the GameStop at the Arboretum is doing a midnight release for X & Y.

Quote the first post.

hope they knew what they were getting into when they opened their gates early

It's worth noting, it's likely this is in relation to stores that broke street date last week. UK stores are likely not in any trouble, as the general feeling I get is mostly that NoE were simply trying their best to keep things on time, but decided to relax once leaks started. Tesco just formed a partnership with Nintendo over promoting Nintendo Wii U this Christmas, so I presume the Pokemon X & Y exclusive codes are related to that + they can get away with being a bit cheeky and shipping early.

ShopTo last week didn't post Zelda till late in the week, so it's not like Nintendo can't stop stores from selling. But let them post Pokemon early, I guess the leaks forced their hand?. GAME however are unlucky this round - the digital release should go live tonight, but I've not seen anyone get their GAME physical copy yet (unless you've been to a GAME that's been told they can start selling Pokemon now)

Gonna be testing tonight if the save transfer tool will work with Pokemon. Gonna try and bring my Y save over to my digital copy (my physical is for my brother who isn't home till next weekend)

 

[Blues1990]

Shit got real.

The weird thing is that my friend and I had pre-ordered at the same EB Games, but he was able to obtain his copy of Pokemon Y just last week.

While he's having a ball, I'm still waiting for my copy of X.

 

[reddmyst]

I was gonna get Y, but I decided on X. I have an original 3DS (I haven't touched it in like a year and a half).

 

[Boss Doggie]

Is a PokeBomb thread still necessary for this month's coro coro?

 

[Sendou]

So I'm assuming here that X and Y will be up on eShop at midnight. I'm using the NA eShop (or Canada if these are specified by country). What timezone would that be then?

NA

12AM EDT

 

[UberTag]

Pretty much the entirety of Europe is getting the game now. NOE isn't enforcing street dates and it's a free-for-all.

Japan will get it next due to being on the other side of the globe.

North America will wait until midnight Friday. Yay!

 

[Sendou]

NA

12AM EDT

So 7AM for me. Oh man.

EDIT: Apparently you answered this earlier too. Sorry, I'm still trying to avoid reading Pokémon threads until after I have played the game

 

[pooch]

zomg UKGAF my copy has come
thank you based shopto

No need to apologize.

 

[SuperPac]

They have the game on the shelf at the local Target near me. Didn't attempt to buy it. They also had 2DSes behind glass.

Do one

The guy after you bought it and is playing it right now.

ALWAYS TRY

 

[Boss Doggie]

So the final evos of the starters are technically out via Coro Coro

or are they still off limits?

 

[MicH]

Wait, GAME sent out eShop codes? I didn't get mine ;/

Y is upside down *eye twiches* fix it fix it fix it fix it fix it fix it

Yep got mine at around 1 I think but they said they'd be going out today and tomorrow. the codes don't work yet anyway I tried

 

[Symphonic]

Ok guys I'm torn 50/50 between X and Y

Just tell me which to buy

 

[Ragus]

Wow, using online options was never so good in pokemon games. On the bottom screen I see all the time a live update of whether my friends are online/offline. When I see, that my friend is online, I can live chat with him/trade/battle. After selecting battle, it took more or less 15 second to get connected to my buddy, and after next few seconds, were were already in a battle.

Awesome.

Ffffffff I wanna go up the street and check my Target but I don't want to leave disappointed

Buy Y, I'm sure you'll find lots of X players to trade with

 

[WhenItsLate]

Amazon dispatched my order today, Y for me X for the GF!
I could have probably gotten it in town somewhere, but I keep telling myself that there's no harm in waiting 12 more hours >.<

 

[gazele]

Ok guys I'm torn 50/50 between X and Y

Y

X is more popular, so you'll be wanted for trades and such

So hypothetically if I went to Target and they had it on display, would they sell it to me or say something like sorry we can't sell that yet?
