Did you/will you pre-order platinum?
 
Are you planning on pre-ordering platinum, or have you maybe done so already? I already have, mainly to get the giratina fig. I don't even LIKE figurines, but I still want that thing. :P

It doesn't come out until May over in England, but I'm going to import a US copy when it comes out there. I wouldn't really want a Giratina figurine myself, so I'm not bothered if I miss out. ^_^

~Frozen Darkness~ March 6th, 2009 1:22 PM

i pre-ordered it a long time ago. I don't even like the figures, but for some reason i want the giratina one.

Wish March 6th, 2009 1:31 PM

Yes, I am planning on Pre-ordering one in the near future before it is released.

Adley March 6th, 2009 1:40 PM

I ordered the second gamestop had it. i plan on picking it up the second it comes out. The figurine isn't a big deal, but I'm going to pick up the strategy guide

shayminfan12345 March 6th, 2009 1:57 PM

i have already pre-orderd it off amazon

Ultra Ball X March 6th, 2009 2:04 PM

"Shadow Lugia" March 6th, 2009 2:05 PM

i would pick the guide up too, but why not just use serebii or psypokes or marriland? They have walkthroughs for Platinum already, I think.

Crocky March 6th, 2009 3:20 PM

Yes I pre-ordered Pokemon Platinum.

Eon-Rider March 6th, 2009 3:28 PM

I'm not entirely sure if I should pre-order it or not. It's still quite a while before it hits Australia.

For when I'm on car rides or such and can't get on a computer, I can just use the guide. Plus, I collect the guides of pokemon games.

Yamikarasu March 6th, 2009 3:53 PM

I still need to... I don't know why I haven't gotten around to it yet. >_<

Haha, I never thought of the pokemon guides this way. They don't have as much info. as serebii like egg moves and stuff/ things most competitive battlers/breeders use but I guess they can still help. I don't know if I'ma get one with my English platinum as I already beat my Japanese one. I always thought the guides were kind of nooby only explaining to you the basics like functions of the daycare, pokemon types, nooby stuff etc. for those lil' eight year olds who want to learn.

Johnathon March 7th, 2009 8:01 AM

I actually preordered it yesterday on the way home from school. ^_^

Jr. Berry Master March 7th, 2009 8:12 AM

Yep, pre-ordered last Saturday.
I didn't bother with the figurine.

Now I'm holding my breath until the release data.

Glaceon_ March 7th, 2009 8:21 AM

Currently, pre-orders in the UK aren't out for Platinum, yet. But as for pre-ordering the American version of Platinum... I don't really know. I probably won't, because it'll likely show up in one of my local, most overlooked gaming stores ever.

As for when the UK version is nearing release... probably not again. The Giratina figure-thing, to me, doesn't seem worth the time of pre-ordering the game to get it. That is to say if the UK actually gets the pre-order 'special offer'.

Ginji March 7th, 2009 9:56 AM

Yep, I pre-ordered mine at gamestop almost two months ago and they didn't have the figurine in stock at the time but they said they'll have it on the release day

Amaruuk March 7th, 2009 10:13 AM

I pre-ordered it about a week ago. I'm not really after the figure, so I guess I just did it because I had done it for Diamond, and so I ensure that I get a copy as soon as I can. Plus I'd rather have shelled out a chunk of the money already so I don't have to pay it all when I pick it up.

Yu_&_Rei March 7th, 2009 10:14 AM

I did, they gave me the figure which I gave to my sister who is Fascinated by it.

.Ozymandias March 7th, 2009 10:28 AM

I've just ordered my UK version from Amazon, now I have to wait for the 22nd May to get my hands on it!

Eruption. March 7th, 2009 10:49 AM

Iv'e Pre ordered it already @ Amazon (UK
can't wait for it to arrive !!

Fenrir Reki March 7th, 2009 12:00 PM

Yes, I pre-ordered it and got the Giratina figurine, which is sitting on top of my tv. I can wait for it to come out because i'll be occupied with RE5. :)

NikokingTheEpic March 7th, 2009 12:20 PM

Yes, though I didn't get that figurine.

Pechachu March 7th, 2009 12:22 PM

I wish we got the figure here. I'd probably pre-order it if I was offered something, but it's not going to sell out or anything, so no. We've still got months to go until it's released. :c
