The worst place for pre orders is western europe i.s: France we have to wait anywhere from 6months to a year before we get DVD's and video games
Seriously Kung fu panda came out on DVD like 2 weeks ago |
@Waka: Yeah but we're RIGHT NEXT TO THE US. Half the time our games come in extra packaging where they tossed an extra French manual in so that they could just sell the US version of the game in Canada without reprinting or repackaging anything. :| So whyyyyy don't we get the same preorder stuff?

Serebii didn't say anything about it being only US.. They said that Gamestop, Target and Best Buy were stocking the figurines. Where did you pre-order Platinum at? |
Gamestop is a US company. There are a handful in Canada but they're mostly still EB Games and they aren't close enough that they share the same promos. (Like when they were offering Deoxys downloads and stuff, EB Games had nothing. ;;) Target doesn't exist in Canada and our Best Buy... also doesn't count, I suppose.

I feel sorry for you guys. I would totally mail you a pre-order figurine if I had one xD |
The only nifty pre-order stuff I can remember getting (I'm in Canada) was Master Quest. Which was a pain to get a hold of because nobody new what I was talking about. XD
And some dinky coin for Super Mario Sunshine. That's about it really. |
I got Master Quest with my WW copy XD
The only games I have pre-ordered are Gold (I got it two days early, go me XD) and Pokémon XD (it came a week later... woot). |
Well, we got something for preordering Diamond and Pearl. Instead of those nice styluses though, we just got these dinky DS cases. :/ Pretty cheap because when I got them the Dialga and Palkia design was already peeling lmao.
I mostly just preorder Pokémon games. XD; And KH, I suppose. |

I've only ever preordered one game, and that was Platinum. I've never had the money whenever a new game came out, so I've never been able to preorder until now.
|
Never played Master Quest before. :(
The only Game I pre-ordered was Diamond and that was only because I didn't have a clue what 'pre-order' meant. I prefer waiting until the day they come, instead. |
Some of the stores around here are smaller than I'd like, or they don't order in enough copies. I know when I went to pick up my (preordered!) Diamond and Pearl games, they had already run out of Diamond except for my set-aside preorder and they had only like 5 copies left of Pearl. D:
Then I didn't preorder Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Blue. It was over a week before I finally got it after its release. So yeah... I just preorder my most wanted games to be safe. x_x It ensure they order in enough for me and everything. |
Well, I like preordering because I can also put down some money on a game coming out in the future. It reminds me to save up for it and also "cheapens" the game when I buy it since I'll already have a deposit on it. XD;
|
When Diamond/Pearl came out in NA, there were only one like, three people waiting in line and the store had several copies of it.
Not really sure whether Pre-ordering it was the best idea at the time, but it was worth a shot. Quote:
Most other stores have around 10-15 games and they rarely ever have the game I'm looking for, but Gamestop does. |
The EB Games in the mall near where I am now is pretty good. They've got a great selection of both new and used games. Can't say the same for the one near my house back home though--it's always picked through and they're so disorganized. When I'm home I prefer to get my games from TRU or Best Buy or something. D:
|
I just... like owning the games. 8| My brother and I own every single main Pokémon game except for Blue.
Plus I like being able to restart a game without worrying about my team. :( I don't want to lose my Diamond Team but I wanna give the game another go with a different one. I can't wait for my Platinum playthrough. I get my favourites right from the start. <3 |

Wow, so there are people that like owning the games? I'm the same way. I also own almost every single main game. The only one I'm missing now is Pearl, but I'll probably get it some time after I get Platinum.
|
I own every main game.
Every one. Except for Platinum xD I'll have to beat them all 100% one day... |
I think most people that hang around the bottom part of the forums have grown out of Pokemon :/
Not me though :D |
The only Pokemon games I own are Diamond and Emeral, and that's because I sold my other games.
I might be getting Platinum, only because it's the third version. I'd say roughly 50-70% of everyone who frequents OT have last some interest in Pokemon, some more than others. |
Quote:
I get into the games a lot when they come out and I play them as much as any other new game I get but then I move on--like all my other fandoms. If anything, Pokémon is probably my biggest fandom because I've actually stuck with it for 10+ years unlike almost everything else where I drop it or put it so completely on the backburner that I don't care about it as much anymore. ;_; I've just never been into battling in Pokémon though. I like collecting them. 8D; |
I wish a bunch of the PC regulars did try battling more XD You dont have to be an expert to win in our Battle Stadium. True, you've got a bunch of fighters that just use cookie-cutter Pokemon teams made for winning, but I speak for those who just use who they like to battle.
It's mega fun when your Poliwhirl wins a match for you. <3 haha. I guess a lot of people say theyre too lazy to EV train or put time in with items and TM collecting, but there are a bunch of shops that service those for you, so give it a chance. :P And since I have a Poke-playing brother, we each always got one of the two games, then we alternated on the 3rd coming. He has Blue, Yellow, Gold, Sapphire, Emerald, and Diamond, I have Red, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Emerald (a different one heh), and Pearl, and I'm the one getting Platinum. |
I have every main-line game except for Platinum and Diamond. It will never get old. :D
I never got any of the GC games because of my certain lack of a GameCube at the time (I had a PS2 instead). I just got XD though, but I'm still waiting for next week's Wii application from WiiGator (those in the know in the world of Wii softmodding will know what I'm talking about). Then my Wii will truly be made of win. That's another $20 well-saved... |
