Will these games have voice chat while trading or battling online?

Yep. At least there's a "chat" option in there. Haven't tried it but I'm pretty sure it's voice chat.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Got my copy of Pokemon Y in a unlikely place here in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

So lucky.

 

[chickdigger802]

Pokemon's had voice chat since Diamond and Pearl (that's seven years now, for those keeping score at home), so that's probably the case.

 

[T.O.P]

Going to bed urley and picking the game in the morning


gonna be an awesome weekend <3

 

[-Horizon-]

Just...a...few...more...hours.

Oh really? Sweet! I've only traded / battled online a handful of times, so I didn't remember.

Yup, I fell asleep pretty early last night, so I'm hoping I'll get tired early tonight. Then I can wake up and run to the store first thing in the morning. Might even be there by 7am or 8am, haha.

Swinging by Target in a couple hours, will let you guys know if they let me buy it.

Expecting no but whatever

Good luck, american retailers seem to be the only ones holding out at this point

 

[Starsunder]

Wow, you're like the best dad ever! Awesome!

Well they get their love of games honest; I was just like them at their age (8 and 13, respectively), and my parents were gamers as well, particularly my dad. I had so much fun playing games with him, and now it's neat to be able to do this with my kids.

 

[Busaiku]

Man, the spoiler thread is pretty much the OT for most people.

 

[Symphonic]

Yeah I'll probably swing by Walmart too, one near me is kinda dinky

 

[GiantBreadbug]

If it is not midnight within the next five minutes, I will lose my shit.

Goddammit laws of time-space.

I tried last night. They had them out on the shelf and I asked for it. The guy goes to ring it up and it wouldn't let him. Said the same thing happened with Skylanders. So, I go about disappointed. I come back a few minutes later and they removed all of them from the cases.

=/

 

[Shahadan]

It's the first pokemon game where I hav not enough money. Those great balls are expensive ;(

 

[perfectchaos007]

I bet you paid $100 USD for that game. I know Brazil has insanely high prices non-pirated games so, you if anyone deserves to play it a day early.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Nope I paid around $80

 

[Fireblend]

Nope, all Costa Rican stores I've called won't sell it until tomorrow (or midnight, which is what I'm going for) FOR SOME REASON. WHO CARES ABOUT THIS COUNTRY.

 

[Milennia]

Pizza, beers, just got done with the wolf among us, and pokemon tonight.....

 

[Mr. Fix]

got these earlier today in Zurich

You're supposed to pick a side, glassy.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

My man. First time I've been old enough to drink for a Pokemon release... oh christ I'm old.

 

[Jockel]

Uhm I'm in Europe, own an American 3DS XL and I'm not good with time zones... How many hours until this is available on the NA eShop?

 

[perfectchaos007]

Nope I paid around $80

Wow what a bargain....

 

[devotedgmr17]

is there any disadvantage to using a micro SD with an adapter instead of a regular SD?

they're cheaper and I can find other purposes for it in the future or whatever

4GB aint cutting it no mo. Could just use one of these 16gb I have laying around

Thats what I'm using right now actually, but I'm going out and buying a regular SD card. There are times when if I move my 3DS too fast or for instance put it in my bag, when I play it again, it won't recognize the card is in, even though its fully inserted. Therefore, I do not trust it handling Pokemon.

 

[Berordn]

Ahahahahahaha.


oh fuck, me too.

 

[gazele]

8 hours 12 minutes

 

[TriniTrin]

So everyone is getting X right? or is it Y? I dunno what to get!

 

[Hot Coldman]

Are Bunnelby's rare or something? God, can't seem to find one for the life of me. Stupid varied mix of Pokemon!

 

[perfectchaos007]

Ahahahahahaha.


oh fuck, me too.

Y'all must be recent 21 year olds. B&W came out almost simultaneously with the 3DS which was March in 2011. The time gap between gen 5 and 6 was rather small at 2.5 years. I was 22 at the time so I can't celebrate with y'all

 

[Glass Rebel]

You're supposed to pick a side, glassy.

I picked the right one (literally, I got Y)

 

[-Horizon-]

So everyone is getting X right? or is it Y? I dunno what to get!

I've actually been hearing that a lot of people were getting Y. It was either mentioned in this thread or the spoiler one.

 

[brinstar]

Is Pichu available earlygame or only Pikachu? I like raising Pokemon from the baby stage, I'm OCD like that.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Wow what a bargain....

Yeah, I was prepared to pay much more than $100.

Geez, the presentation is top notch. The transition to 3D is really awesome.

 

[Metal Khaos]

Uhm I'm in Europe, own an American 3DS XL and I'm not good with time zones... How many hours until this is available on the NA eShop?

Um.. depending when it goes live on NA eShop. There's about 8 hours for Midnight EST. Fuck I hope it goes live at midnight. Retailers in America typically don't like to break street dates.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

For whoever wants it.

80$ in the gray market ?

I'm 20. Haven't been this hyped for a Pokemon game since Diamond, and that was very disappointing. This is probably my favorite game since Gold.

 

[nubbe]

OMG
seamless internet features
nintendo has discovered the internet
THIS GAME IS AWESOME

 

[Astral/H3X]

For whoever wants it.

I'll take it.

 

[Gaiaknight]

so my local gamestop has close to 400 pre-orders im so not looking forward to this line at midnight >.<

 

[ColossalLazy]

It was in a small game store. Although I have no idea how they had the game early.

Much bigger game stores didnt have the game.

 

[CrisKre]

Been playing for 6 hours. Sooooooo addictive!!

 

[ryz]

Finally got my copy:

I've got X, my girlfriend plays Y. Mine came this morning, she's been playing for about three days now :/

 

[Jockel]

We're doing it the other way around, because... uh... chromosomes.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Nintendo servers are gonna crash so hard at midnight

 

[newshinycd]

so my local gamestop has close to 400 pre-orders im so not looking forward to this line at midnight >.<

Whoo boy. There are two Gamestop stores near me that are less than a quarter mile apart; literally 2 minutes from each other, and both are doing a midnight release for Pokemon XY according to the Gamestop website.

There is a third store in the mall here, which is about 5 minutes from the other two stores, but they aren't doing a midnight release. Probably because the mall management isn't letting them, so I have to go pick up my receipt from this store to take to one of the other two stores during the midnight party. I'm going to ask to see how many they have preordered.

 

[chickdigger802]

now we know whos the man of the relationship.

 

[ryz]

She insisted on getting Y, not much i can do

 

[TheOGB]

Goddamn, I might not be able to get this until next week

I don't think I can wait that much longer

 

[Astral/H3X]

So do we know if there are multiples of the Mega Stones? I'm mainly concerned about the version exclusive ones.
