Pokemon official site says 30 minutes.

eShop says midnight.

Nintendo timer is wrong.

Nothing is stopping this train.

I have this in full screen: http://assets1.pokemon.com/assets/cms/swf/homepage/vg_pokemonxy_1010_en.swf

 

[celebi23]

So... is it coming out 1 A.M EST on the eShop?

Counter on the official Nintendo website says so.

I thought it was 12 A.M EST launch. =(

It's showing about an hour & a half for me as well :/

 

[watershed]

Half an hour to go! Too long to wait!

 

[Milennia]

ITS almost time!

Pokemon official site says 30 minutes.

The Pokemon site is counting down to the official release.
The physical version will be available in 27 minutes.

 

[hemtae]

Is there a way I can find out if my gamestop is having a midnight launch or should I just pop into walmart at midnight?

 

[RionaaM]

Same here. I don't want to wait 90 more minutes. I can't wait to return to the Pokemon party.

 

[daman824]

Does anyone have a list of version exclusives. I'm planning on downloading x here in 30 minutes. But I don't want to find out that a pokemon I really want is only in Y. Thanks in advance.

And my friend code is: 2707-1680-6998

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

And Nintendo's timer is counting down to what? 1 hour after the official release?

 

[ffdgh]

I wonder how the servers are doing. Hopefully they survive.

 

[Boss Doggie]

less than 30 mins!

 

[Tunavi]

OMG ITS ALMOST HERE

 

[Dartastic]

Waiting for my Gamefly copy is gonna be HARD.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Dont, im trading online, servers are gonna crash so hard : (

 

[Bullza2o]

I wonder how the servers are doing. Hopefully they survive.

If you want to make sure, let's all download one by one.
I call first!

 

[Fracas]

My Gamestop isn't having a midnight launch.

Tomorrow will be sweet though!

 

[AdawgDaFAB]

Guys, I thought about getting all 3 starters right from the very beginning. That would require someone who's willing to start the game all over again thrice and trade them. If someone's up for it, I'm willing to be that person and restart it 5 times: you can keep the two that you're missing, and then you'll have to hold on to the 2 that I'll be getting until I can restart it for the last time, then I'll grab the starter I want and you'll send me back the other 2.

So what do you say? Is someone interested?

PM me.

 

[gazele]

Of course it doesn't go up early like every other region, greatest nation tax /sarcasm

Flip the switch!!

 

[Franklinator]

Aw yeah, 30 minutes away

froakie will soon be mine

 

[Colonel Nasty]

How big is the DL?

Spoiler

Fuck Pokemon X

 

[VT_Brian]

And Nintendo's timer is counting down to what? 1 hour after the official release?

Considering how many people here are using EST instead of EDT, it's very possible they forgot to account for daylight saving time

 

[Boss Doggie]

Animal Crossing wasn't hammered, so this wasn't too.

 

[Effect]

Curious as to what the eShop sales for this will look like.

Still holding out some hope that NewEgg shipps on Saturdays but I doubt it. Chances are they won't ship until Monday and I'll get it at the end of the week depending on where they ship it from. I'm getting it $5 off along with no tax and free shipping. Worth the wait? Starting to wonder. I do at least still have SMT 4 and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Wind Waker HD to play so I really shouldn't be in a rush.

1.7 gb

Team x is goat.

Will add!

 

[RedSwirl]

Yep. Better to be part of the zeitgeist now with XY, I'd think. Although, it might be hard to go back to the older games after XY.

Nah. I'll wait until some people have played it. I'm still worried about hidden moves.

 

[DaBoss]

Yea, you're right. I didn't think about that, but yea, reading all of the posts here saying EST instead EDT, it probably is just an honest mistake.

 

[Teknoman]

Alarm Clock set to 8:30am.

 

[Raven77]

Is the guide worth getting? I never play outside of the house so the internet would be readily available.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

There is daylight time saving on saturday?

 

[Delio]

I'm shaking. It is almost time.

 

[OcarinaOfDoom]

ITS ALMOST HERE

 

[Professor Lich]

In the second line now, 15 minutes.

Thanks, looks like I'm going with X as I already have a tyranitar from HG.

Oh my god me too oh my oh my god oh my god

Ugh i barely have room for more people on my friends list. Need to clear space.

 

[kittens]

My Gamestop isn't having a midnight launch.

Tomorrow will be sweet though!

Mine neither. :-(

PS: Get on XBL.

 

[DaBoss]

There is daylight time saving on saturday?

Well yes in a way, but it doesn't begin on Saturday. We are currently in Daylight Savings Time (EDT - Eastern Daylight Savings Time) instead of EST (Eastern Standard Time).

 

[ivysaur12]

Pick me, Delio! Pick me!

 

[Milennia]

Didnt think people would show up with fennekin hats at a random gamestop midnight in the middle of a suburb lol

 

[Shahadan]

I has Chespinz. I made two of them, who wants one?

First two to quote this post get one.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I've gotta say the attention to detail is incredible.

You crouch when you're talking to pre-schoolers, because they're tiny, and chespin's soft head spike-thing turns into hard, sharp spikes when he's attacking, just like in his dex entry.

Game is so GOOD.

Not even close to the same thing, but Gamestop is selling starter trio + Pikachu plushies for $12.99, and I was really tempted to get one for me and my girlfriend. I never buy things like that, but they're so damn cute, I'm feeling pretty tempted.

HYPE CANNOT BE CONTAINED. CANNOT. BE. CONTAINED.

SITTING ON BENCHES. CROUCHING. AHHHHHHHH.

Give in to the hype... this line is practically shaking

Played for over 10 hours today. Loving it. Catching loads of Pokemon. Love the animations and music in the game. Pikachu's cry is actually adorable in this game as it should be! The game does lag a bit with 3D on but it's an amazing experience thus far.
