So, are any U.S. retailers offering anything for day one purchases? The only incentives I've seen were the posters for preordering from gamestop but they didn't interest me.
 
Guys I'm seriously hype as shit. I haven't been this excited for a game in so long. I feel like a little kid.

Coming from someone who didn't think much of B/W and only played halfway through B/W2 this game is amazing, the battles looks so good I just end up running in the grass just for the sake of fighting, love the large mix of Pokemon available and the speed of the game is perfect.

There aren't many things they could have honestly done to make this game better
 
So at my university GameStop, there are at least 400 pre-orders. I'm standing behind ~100 other people right now.

And the line keeps growing.

Same here.
And then friend just told me there's a way to pay the exact amount and I feel like and idiot to have put $50. At least I get a freebie >.>

There's literally a giant button underneath that says "Needed Funds" when purchasing items. :p

Called earlier today about going to a midnight launch and they said not to bother since I didn't have a preorder, heh. Fair enough I guess, I'll look around tomorrow to see if I can find it and if not, oh well. Wish me luck!

The Pokemon launch event in Toronto was pretty hoppin'. 3DSs and XLs everywhere. I didn't stay too long, though.

I got there around 7pm. They had Chespin and Froakie paper hats... but were out of Fennekin.

Still on the fence on this one. Black/White were way better than expected, but I passed on B2/W2. Also I only know one or two friends personally getting it (plenty of people online though).

Plus part of me wants to get the JP version because my JP 3DS has a capture board, but it's kind of hard to justify paying extra just for the ability to take pretty screenshots. And I'd prefer a physical copy. Decisions, decisions...

Biggest thing is just the time commitment though. For those with the game, how fast is the game flow? If I get this I don't want to be spending half the time playing looking at health bars scrolling down (I still have nightmares about D/P).

Oh, also: does anyone know if the JP version has any connectivity issues with US versions?
 
I'm in NJ. Heading to Target tomorrow, they open at 8am. Since you said you are at a Gamestop, I guess you're lined up for a midnight launch huh?

Actually, this is to pay full to make sure you get a copy at midnight.

I'll probably never come back here though. I bought a 3DS game when I pre-ordered and it had no Club Nintendo code.

Just curious, but what time is it in the US right now? I need to know how many hours I still have to wait to start downloading the game lol

This music in Santalune Forest is amazing; giving me so much FFIX Ice Cavern feels. There are so many Pokemon to catch as well.

Just heard Pikachu's anime cry. ;__;

The only annoyance so far is that when you catch a pokemon if you accidentally select to nickname it there doesn't seem to be any way of cancelling and going back, forcing you to nickname :/

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
There's just something very hype-inducing about seeing midnight lineups. I would totally have gone to a midnight launch if any stores near me were doing one.

Seeing those photos almost makes me wish I was getting a physical copy. Last time I was in a long line for a Pokemon game was for Gold/Silver. And that was a mess, not because of the Pokemon but because the manager of this particular Software Etc. knew a guy at the warehouse and was able to hand out PS2s that night, a few weeks early.

Now there's a name I haven't seen in a while.
