Nice!! It's only 10:55am where I live.. I got a bit to wait till 12am! :P
The waiting will be so worth it!

Got Pokémon X today! Even got a pokéball to hold three 3DS cartridges :D

#teamchespin all the way. I'm so so so pumped for tomorrow like you all have no idea (well maybe you do lmao).

Guys we made it after 9 long months. That's an accomplishment in its own right!!

One more day for me. It's friday, Gotta go pick it uptomorrow! Is it true that depending on your 3ds's background color it will match the starter clothing of your trainer?

base on my calculation it will be done in about 8 - 9 hours or even earlier
so after I woke up it'll be done or I have to wait about 30 minutes - 1 hour though. :)
Also my main reason why I didn't want to buy a physical copy because of this reasons :
1. changing cartridge I'm too lazy to do it.
2. I bought 32gb Memory Card for this :D

anyways 5 minutes left Hohoho!

You would barely be able to finish the download in 8 hours at just 512kbps, so whatever calculation you used was completely wrong. And unless you're playing other games on your 3DS, then changing cartridges should be nothing. And for the record, downloading a file sized at 1.7 GB with speeds of 100kbps is going to take about 40 hours to complete, no joke.

I'm in one of said areas right now. At least I'm looking forward to learning all the new Pokemon and mechanics so that way I can be prepared for when I get the games eventually!

yeah lets go to another topic instead
how can I change my Region to Australia?
so far I can't see australia
so I can download the game earlier
because there's no Philippines here in the region or if I choose Singapore
there are no games to be found -_-

It would still be breaking street date though if they did that, since it isn't the 12th in the United States yet, and the worldwide release date is the 12th.

Just 12 more hours to go before the first copies get (legally) sold over here in the states! :)

aaaaaaand the Netherlands break the rules too. It's only half a day early but i'll take it.
Now, i only have to do some schoolwork and then i can lock myself up. Goodby social life, it was nice knowing you.

What's the point of street dates when half the countries in the world break them?

I don't ever think street date has been broken once in the history of a Pokémon game release, until the release of X and Y that is.. though I could be wrong.

they could done this. next pokemon game they make has a program built in check internet clock if you turn on the game before the 12th it disable your online feature for 6 month

Oh, gosh, 1 more day! So exciting!
I just have to get through work tonight and then I'm free tomorrow to buy the game and play it all day!

I'm choosing Chespin as my started based on a pattern I've done since Pokemon Silver. I'm pretty excited using it especially after seeing its final evolution.

Oh, and if anyone wants to add me via 3DS Friend Code, here's my FC: 2036-7654-6953.
It's also under my info on the little 3DS box.

There will be a reaping... of stores who broke the Street Date. In the future, It would be cool if the game was "released" at the same moment all across the Earth. Like a midnight release, but at time that most timezones could manage.


I went to my GameStop to "pay off my pre-order" and no, no one sold pokemon early. Which is a GOOD thing, because i'm still playing Kid Icarus.

to do this need to make american release at 12pm when it 12am in japan.


the date in japan is oct 12 2013 all ready but in american it oct 11 2013 they could release american at oct 11 2013 when they release japan oct 12 2013 then that be excact time every one get it. but there market people not that smart they just keep one date when they could set each date at right time then that would be world global sale event. then you would see the money come at the same time
