Y it is.

Thank you collective mind

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?

I think it depends on the employee. Some will know not to sell it. I believe a thing comes up on their screen saying the release date isn't up yet, but a lot of employees will sell it to you anyways because it was on the shelf and they don't know any better.

Someone needs to do it so I can decide if I want to drive around a bunch tomorrow.

I might as well try, gonna try Best Buy as well, maybe see if the PS4 demo station is up
 
Man I was at a Target earlier today too. Didn't even think of checking. Oh man now I'm kinda tempted to go back and try...but I'd only have a couple hours to play it until Sunday, so it probably isn't worth the gas money...but on the other hand POKEMON! Oh man, decisions decisions.

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.
See. This is what I don't get. Why the fuck wouldn't this be what people tell me in a review or leak or something. This is awesome.

For those avoiding spoilers from leaks, the Sugimori art has been shown for the starters' final evolutions in CoroCoro scans, so I'm sure they'll be officially updated on Pokemon X/Y's official page in the near future.

I havent looked at anything but the officially released stuff.. EXCEPT for the starter evos

I mean, that should be a factor in deciding wich one to pick, not a surprise

Thanks for mentioning this. I had asked the other day about whether there was chatting to no response, so it's nice to have confirmation.

What are the battle options? Anything that can set your pokes to lv. 100 automatically? Or is it the same options as B2/W2 had?
 
Went to my college, strolled through the cafeteria, and I happened to see several people battling each other in X/Y. I'm beginning to think, what's the point of me going to a midnight launch if everyone has the game already? lol.

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

They said "GameForce" or something like that. They also said the store only had 15 copies, too, so I didn't investigate it any further...

Ok, so this will be my epic comeback.

I haven't played a Pokemon game since the school yard days of Red and Blue - but the graphics of X & Y have finally inspired me to return!

A question though: Back in the day, I basically thought that a perfect team had a pokemon from each "element", i.e meaning grass, fire, water, rock, electric (and perhaps throwing in a flying creature for good measure). Now, however, I find myself intimidated by looking at the strength/weakness matrix. Is there any system or logic to the madness - or do I just have to remember the connections?

To long time pokéfans it's probably obvious that dark pokemon kick psychic ass while struggling with the fighting type. To me? Not so much.

This has me hyped beyond belief.

Really tempted to pick up X, I just need to know one thing about the
real
starters:
How soon can I get Squirtle?

Those aren't spoilers, except they aren't the REAL starters. You can get the Kanto starters around the first gym, I think it is after the first gym.
 
Is this the thread where I can get the fairy bow avatar? If so

Pansear is in the first forest you come to, at the end of Route 2. Very very early.

Also you'll get a free Torchic from the launch event.

Posting random nonsense will not make it true. Team Y seems to have gone off to the deep end.

Wouldn't be surprised if Y ends up being the most popular.

X was my shoe-in choice until I ended up preferring Y's exclusives. But now I realize I went Fire/Ruby/FireRed, weird how I didn't pick Y sooner. Probably because Yveltal is really ugly..

u wot m8.

I've been repping Team X from the start, but one thing is for sure, Yveltal is pure badass.

You can catch a
Pansear
fairly early on. You can also catch a
Fletchling
which evolves into a
Talonflame
, though I'm not sure what level or how you evolve it.

Added 40 bucks to my eShop account and I'm more ready than ever. I hope Nintendo is too, otherwise eShop servers will go down tomorrow with millions of people trying tp make the purchase.

I can't think of any other digital release as hyped as this one.

What? Without spoiling too much, what is the new thing that makes Y the best version?

Wow Y got it good. Actually both versions have wonderful exclusivity balance. These games are DRIPPING in fanservice.. Truly are.

Certain old Pokemon exclusivity and Mega forms
