  • Well, holding the event exclusively in New York makes sense. Besides, it's only one day, after all; no big deal. Still, I wish the games were released on a Friday; a Sunday release is annoying, considering that I'll have a week's worth of school and homework to wait through before really getting a chance to sit down and play.

  • XD;; must be nice having the whole week to play.

    Well, at least the weekend after March 6 is a 3-day weekend for me.
    Same here :D I would probably only get to the third badge in the first week...after getting lost several times in Unova...but then I'll have 3 days to Play all day :D!
    NYC'er are lucky to have this event...though it should have been two days earlier as these Games are based on NYC...(Hg and Ss were released one day early in NY by the way)

  • So it would seem my hometown is getting it early, hmm?

    Not that I care, someone is bound to post pictures, whether here or somewhere else. All that matters to me is I get mines as ordered, that's it.

    Though it would be nice to see how much the Big Apple has changed in 7 years.

  • That's nice, except that I'm stuck in a redneck backwater in a different part of the country that everyone seems to ignore. Guess I'll have to wait.

  • I'm pretty annoyed \: England never get something like this; and if we do, it's always in London or Scotland, I mean C'mon Nintendo! There are other places u_u The only Pokemon event I went to was the Darkrai event celebrating the 10th Movie, and that was full of noobs spamming the Darkrai during battle v_v I'll just wait until Saturday to get both >:

    IIRC. America isn't get Vicinti through Wifi, and Europe is <: in your face. n.n

  • Isn't Liberty Island the island that the statue of liberty stands on?

    And why can't Canada get some Nintendo love?

    Well, after fate conspired against me to go on Sunday, I guess I'll meet up with the guys who are going on Saturday!

    I'll be the guy there with the black DS Lite with a copy of FireRed in the GBA slot and an Apple sticker splayed across the top screen wearing a Portal shirt.

    EDIT: Anyone else going?

  • And now there's news that Ken Sugimori might be in attendance! Junichi Masuda's presence has not been hinted at, though...

    https://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/New_York_fans%27_wishes_granted

    Coupled with that, The Presidents of The United States (band) will be performing "Can't Stop Catchin 'em All", the Unova PokeRap.

    I wish I could go! T_T Well, this event does seem like it will be a memorable experience, fitting with Pokemon's rebirth.

    If possible, could someone ask them to convert Missingno. into a real Pokemon and BRING BACK Apricorn Balls, Seals, in-game Berry Patches, RSE-style Contests, Gym Leader rematches, VS Seeker, and PLEASE STOP DOING "EVENT/MYTHICAL" POKEMON GIVEAWAYS? Kthxbai.
