Any one Reserve Platinum yet?
 
In the U.S.A Places that will sell Platinum are letting you reserve a copy.
Who has done this?
If you did your lucky that way you don't have to search for it.
If you didn't (yet) you should start going to a game store soon because if you don't reserve a copy before the day you'll have a hard time finding it!

Yes I have reserved a copy. I reserved a copy on March 13th.
So I don't have to worry about searching for it.

Hellz yes. Platinum will be awesome!

Kokuo March 16th, 2009 12:37 PM

Yes I reserved it. Only 5 more days!

Mario The World Champion March 16th, 2009 12:39 PM

Same, except there was a special twist with mine ^.^
I had just sold a lot of games to them, so I just used some of the money to pay for the whole game, so now all I have to do is show the receipt and pick up the game. It's awesome =p
Oh, and I still get the Giratina figure.

I reserved it the first day the release date was known lol.

Ru-Kun March 16th, 2009 1:50 PM

Why wouldn't I. I've had it reserved for several weeks now.

FireApe2135 March 16th, 2009 1:53 PM

literally just reserved it yesterday when my friend gave me a 1 dollar best buy gift card that actually had 10$ on it

xLilith March 16th, 2009 2:15 PM

Though I'm saving up for when it comes out xD

What if it's sold out? Then you'll have to wait longer.

zkid0605 March 16th, 2009 2:18 PM

reserved it when i first heard about it. lol

thedestinedblade March 16th, 2009 2:30 PM

I don't reserve unless they include something, which I don't think was the case for Platinum.

Actually, you get the Origin Forme of Giratina.

thedestinedblade March 16th, 2009 2:37 PM

Really? Eh, is that the only way to get it?

Yeah. Its what they told me at GameStop. Just go and like deposit $5 (minimum to reserve games).

TwilightBlade March 16th, 2009 2:41 PM

I never reserve games, so I doubt I will for Platinum. I'll just look around Sunday and simply buy it. Pokemon isn't in high demand where I'm at, so there's bound to be a copy close by..

Btw, you can always get the Giratina figurine via Ebay. 8D

Yea, but why pay extra for it when you can get it free with PP...?

760king March 16th, 2009 3:16 PM

thats true when they offer you free things you should take them :)

g.narron March 16th, 2009 3:30 PM

i reserved it and i pu the figure in my glass cabinet pokemon collection

Cherish March 16th, 2009 3:47 PM

I'm not reserving it, since I never reserve games.
There are three stores in the same plaza that should have it, so I don't think I will have any problems finding a copy.

Dylan T. March 16th, 2009 3:48 PM

I haven't yet, but I might. What I was planning to do was save my birthday money (my birthday is on March 20) and give it to my mom when I go to my dad's so she can buy Platinum for me, and then I can go pick it up sometime.

EDIT: It's official, I'm not pre-ordering Platinum. I wanted to, and I begged my mom, but all she said were things like, "The economy is horrible now. No one's out buying games." and, "I don't want to give them my credit card number!" If she only knew how many people are waiting to get this game. Also, I don't see how she doesn't trust Best Buy with her credit card number. I mean, come on, identity theft is common, but you have to trust some people, and Best Buy is a very professional company.

EDIT 2: My sister to the rescue! She was wondering what I wanted for my birthday, and I told her that I would love for her to reserve Platinum for me. So we went to Best Buy, and they were all sold out of pre-order slips. Then we went to another Best Buy. We asked someone where we could pre-order the game and they said that we might not be able to because the pre-order date might be up. She then called someone else down, and while he was searching the computer, I found the slips to reserve Platinum. My sister did as it said, but I'm really not sure what happened because there was just too many people saying too many things. All I know is that we can come pick up the game anytime before April 5. I'm not even sure if I'm going to get the Girantina figure, but I really hope I do. ;P

I reserved it a week ago when I went shopping for my cousin at toys r us. Met the awesomest cashier there too- dude was a huge pokemon fan, and we had a fairly long chat. Goes to show that there are still awesome people where I live. :shocked:

Cheers! March 16th, 2009 4:02 PM

Yeah, I reserved it a week ago. I reserved one for me and my brother (he's paying for his own), right along with my DSi. We been playing the game since the Red and Blue days, and we love battling online in clans and stuff. So it's gonna be awesome! We are already planning our wifi teams for it.

It's in high demand where I am. At the Toys R Us today, I went to download Regigigas, and the Pokemon Platinum preorder rack was cleared out of the preorder boxes, they were also out of stickers and posters.
