Have You Pre-Ordered a Copy?
 
I just pre-ordered White Version 2 yesterday ;; along with Harvest Moon: A New Beginning but that's a different story.

I didn't realize BW2 was exclusive to DS, and thought you had a choice between DS and 3DS. The sales guy gave me a pretty derp look when I ran back into the store asking if he got the 3DS copy loool.
/anecdote

blue September 9th, 2012 7:47 AM

Wow, only a month to go now! Nah, I'm going to pick up a copy on the day of the release since I luckily have the day off work that Friday.

Hikamaru September 9th, 2012 7:48 AM

Nope, I'm waiting until the English version comes out (October 11 for me cos I'm Australian).

I'll eventually get the games after the English release.

K1ngQu33n September 9th, 2012 8:11 AM

It's probably going to be really expensive, Like HG and SS was like 70$ for both of them.

kuzronk September 9th, 2012 8:20 AM

I will probily get one on day 1.

Kevin September 9th, 2012 8:52 AM

I'll get it on day one... Probably. Either that or I'll order it on the first day and wait until it comes a week after.

Altix September 9th, 2012 9:12 AM

Ima get it at target, if I can somehow earn money by the first day. I probaly wont be able to get it first day though. I'm so poor. :(

o Pikachu o September 9th, 2012 9:21 AM

Pre ordered both black 2 and white 2. I already payed $20 and once the game is out I get both for $55

The Shiny Umbreon in the Corner September 9th, 2012 9:42 AM

Well I have pre ordered B2 even though I like W2 better so what the heck why not... but I only have 5 bucks down on it ;-;

Nick September 9th, 2012 10:04 AM

Yes I did. I preordered White 2 at GameStop about two months ago. At least, I think that's the one I preordered. I can't really remember.

Kikaito plush September 9th, 2012 10:10 AM

I preordered Black 2 from GAME when I went to get my Keldo download event.

Cordelia September 9th, 2012 10:45 AM

I pre ordered White 2 when I picked up the event Keldeo. Didn't even feel too nerdy this time, haha!

Dreadnought September 10th, 2012 2:45 PM

Pre-ordered both Black 2 & White 2 a few weeks ago. Stoked it is out next month here in the US and I have the entire weekend off.

Jellicent♀ September 12th, 2012 2:52 PM

Snagged mine a few months ago. Made a down payment and now just need to pay for the rest of it! Gamestop said something special comes with it, so that's always fun. B]

Itcheeee September 12th, 2012 4:34 PM

My boyfriend pre-ordered Black 2 for himself, and White 2 for me. We only have $5 down on each, but we still can't wait to get them. I wish they had pre-order gifts at gamestop, though.

Thomas September 12th, 2012 5:25 PM

I preordered White 2 a week or so ago on Amazon. I wasn't going to preorder it, but when I restarted my White cart, I got super excited and couldn't hold back. XDD

Meganium September 12th, 2012 5:28 PM

I'll probably get mine after the release date so nope, no plans on preordering mine. I was going to in the past, but as I lack a DS at the moment, I didn't really see a point. xD

Thomas September 12th, 2012 5:30 PM

@LeafStorm: That is another reason I didn't pre order until recently. I had sold my DSi XL back in November of last year so I've been DS-less until recently I bought a Blue 3DS on craigslist for SUPER cheap. XD The girl only used it for two months and decided to sell it. :) I got the 3DS, charger, charging station, Soul Silver, and a case for $160 :))

voltianqueen September 12th, 2012 5:56 PM

I always preorder the games, ever since DP. I love getting preorder prizes, but when I went to get my Soul Silver, they were out of the little figurines! 8C Anyway, yes, I preordered Black 2 last week and will be picking it up that day, in fact I'll be getting my license a couple days before, so it'll be the first time I can drive myself to get it! Not only that, but it'll also be the first time I won't have school the next day, so I can play it into the night..!

Brendino September 12th, 2012 5:56 PM

If they announce some pre-order bonus for the games over the next few weeks, I'll most likely go ahead and pre-order the game. I've only recently beat White for the first time a little while back, though, so I'm not in the biggest hurry to get it on opening day (that is, if there is no other incentive). I will probably pick it up within a month of it coming out, though.

rpg man September 12th, 2012 5:58 PM

@Thomas: Nice! I got the same thing expect it was a 3ds xl and Pearl for...........$50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Brand New)

I already have both B2 and W2!

Irs is so easy!

Sydian September 12th, 2012 8:04 PM

I will probably just buy them on release day! Or I might preorder one and get the other when I pick up the other haha. If there are nice goodies that come with it, I'll really wanna preorder, but eh. I never have, except when I imported, so idk.

Killjoy September 12th, 2012 8:32 PM

I plan on just picking it up after work when it comes out. I'd be very surprised if it was sold out in my area, so I should be good.

SoulSilver10112 September 13th, 2012 8:38 AM

I preordered. Can't wait to get it. :)

Candra Software September 13th, 2012 4:47 PM

I'm thinking about pre-ordering Black 2 next month.

~RNC~ September 13th, 2012 7:18 PM

I pre-ordered both way back a couple of months ago (if I'm remembering right) and have paid all of it except for $30 that I'm gonna pay when I pick them up!!

vaporeon7 September 14th, 2012 4:46 AM

I don't really see the point in pre-ordering, if you do here, all you get is a coin. The other reason is that it is normally available a lot cheaper on release day at the department stores anyway.

Roughsponge September 14th, 2012 10:54 AM

Just pre-ordered my copy of Black 2 about half an hour ago online. It's supposed to arrive on release day, but last time it said that it came the day after... hope it's right this time around. :)

DarkWolf13 September 14th, 2012 11:12 AM

I already pre-ordered Black 2 so during my break on Oct 7, I'm gonna pick it up, if that day isn't on the weekend, is it?

Shiny_Wooper September 14th, 2012 12:06 PM

i always pre-order games i pre-ordered b/w 2 about a week ago

TornZero September 15th, 2012 8:10 PM

Welp, I pre-ordered mine just about an hour and a half ago, even though I don't have a DS to play it on right now. xD

Ω Ruby and α Sapphire September 15th, 2012 8:45 PM

I should, JB Hifi is taking pre-orders for $48 AUD, which is better than anywhere else iv'e seen. Still expensive compared to the rest of the world, like usual. But kinda funny cause they are selling the originals for $55 haha.

folksychipmunk September 17th, 2012 7:33 PM

Will there be any pre-order bonuses for these games? Or any specific rreason to pre-order the game?

There was some talk in the beginning about a key chain that I heard from my GS store, but so far there is nothing!!

EDIT: I think the only reason to pre-order is to assure that you get a copy!!

Well atm i wont have the spare cash to get on release, an if no special goodies i guess i'll just hold out on getting my copy. Any idea what the key chain was supposed to be of?

~RNC~ September 17th, 2012 7:57 PM

My friend at GS said it was gonna be a Meloetta key chain but he not know pokemon really so I think he might have been just guessing!!

Ah ok well it's always nice to get something with a pre-order, give the dedicated players soething extra whether it be a keychain or something else.
I may put the minimum pre-order amouunt down just in case =] ty for the info =]

~RNC~ September 17th, 2012 8:31 PM

Your welcome, and it would have been nice, they haven't had extras since HG / SS it would have been nice, but I pre-order just to make sure I get my copies and they do not sell out!! You never know how many pokefans are in your area and they only get a limited amount of copies!!

pokeskate September 18th, 2012 10:58 AM

Damn just a key chain? Well, that's better than that abnormal stylus for diamond and Pearl lol

professor plum September 18th, 2012 11:01 AM

I preordered both games as soon as I could, and paid them off about a month ago. I bought a copy for myself and my boyfriend. C:

Xander Olivieri September 18th, 2012 12:03 PM

The three Gamestops near where I work said they didn't have any Pre-Order Bonuses for B2W2. They looked into their company's info and there was nothing listed for Pre-Order. One said their Books may be on sale with Pre-Order only, but that's not an actual bonus as the store is doing that.

I think at Toys R Us, we are probably going to do Buy B2W2 and get other Pokemon Merchandise % off like time with Black and White. Though that's my store. I can't speak for all TRU's

chella182 September 18th, 2012 12:14 PM

I've pre-ordered both versions :) can't wait!

blue September 18th, 2012 12:51 PM

There's a Pre Order bonus for Australia:

william.alsup September 18th, 2012 1:32 PM

Yerp. I've preordered :P Pretty excited. You know what's fun? Being that awkward guy who looks like a complete stoner, who pulls out his Pokeball Skinned 3DS and proceeds to hang around the counter for his Keldeo download.... hehehe

Melinda September 18th, 2012 3:58 PM

I was going to pre-order a copy of White 2, but I usually just go to the 24hr Walmart near me at midnight the day something I want is getting released. There is never a line.

Zaroas September 18th, 2012 5:03 PM

Just pre-ordered my copy of Black 2 when I went to pick up my Keldeo and Borderlands 2 at GameStop. Can't wait until October 7th.

User19sq September 18th, 2012 7:12 PM

Pre-ordered and paid off a copy of Black 2 and White 2, with Fullmetal Keldeo on the side. Don't you just love financial-aid leftover money? ;3

droomph September 18th, 2012 9:17 PM

I pre-ordered it not three minutes ago!

Ugh now I feel sad that I'm funneling my money away.

But this is more important, no?

curiousnathan September 18th, 2012 10:47 PM

I haven't pre-ordered B2 or W2, but I'm sure I'll snag one as soon as the come out! They don't sell out super super fast here, so, so far I've been lucky enough to get one without having to pre-order!

Treecko September 19th, 2012 2:30 AM

I wanted to but unfortunately, I probably won't be able to get enough money in time. So I'll buy it when it comes out or whenever I can.

XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE September 23rd, 2012 11:49 AM

I haven't pre-ordered it, I'll probably get White 2 on the day it comes out, or the day after if they haven't all gone haha :)

mikey September 23rd, 2012 12:51 PM

Nah. I havent preordered since the release of Firered and Leafgreen. I find it pointless. I can buy the game on release day. I always see plenty of copies around.

WingedDragon September 23rd, 2012 7:57 PM

I am getting up to go pre-order black2 tomorrow. excited!!!!!!!!!

blue September 24th, 2012 9:28 AM

Just to those in the UK (as far as I'm aware) that HMV are offering promotions to those who Pre-Order Pokemon Black & White 2 from their website, you receive a free Pokemon themed Poster according to ONM.
