Zayphora September 30th, 2012 3:44 PM

When will you buy BW2?
 
Will you buy BW2 on the day it comes out in the US, or are you going to wait until the holidays or a few days after?

Personally, I'm going to get it the day after it comes out, because October 7th is my mom's birthday so I can't very well get it then. But believe me, I'm not going to be on the forum that day because I don't want plot spoilers.

Demon. September 30th, 2012 3:48 PM

Well i pre-ordered it. so.

RedJ September 30th, 2012 3:51 PM

I've got my pre-order completely paid off, so assuming I can get to Gamestop that day, I'll be getting it the day it comes out. Otherwise I'll have to wait until Thursday to pick it up in between classes.

Xander Olivieri September 30th, 2012 3:52 PM

I'm getting it on release date whether I'm working or not XD

curiousnathan September 30th, 2012 3:54 PM

I'll be most likely buying it a few days after the release date, if not, on the release date.

Retro Bug September 30th, 2012 4:08 PM

I always, always buy new Pokemon games on the release date. Thankfully, I still can after moving to University. I'm getting up bright and early to get it as well!

White_Arcanine September 30th, 2012 4:18 PM

I'm going to wait a while, if there's enough good reviews and wait for the rage for it to die down.

The fact that you can get the Lati's and a green Dragonite is reason enough to buy it.

Sydian September 30th, 2012 4:41 PM

I have been keeping some birthday money saved just to buy both of them on release day. Gotta wait til after work though, which sucks. Hope they still have some copies... :( lol

Sheep September 30th, 2012 5:17 PM

Getting it the day it comes out as well. |D It's a Sunday for me and I have the Monday right after off, so tons of time to play!

Queen September 30th, 2012 5:41 PM

I'll wait a few days, then I'll go get it !

Why not just pre order them...?

Hikamaru September 30th, 2012 8:02 PM

Probably sometime later this year, like Christmas or something.

WingedDragon September 30th, 2012 10:09 PM

I pre-ordered it. So I will definitely get it the day of if not the day after.

PlatinumDude October 1st, 2012 9:01 AM

It depends, honestly. I may not have time to buy the games on the release date itself, so I might wait until a few days or weeks after.

roosterman October 1st, 2012 10:21 AM

i'm gonna try and get it the day it comes out, i'm hoping i'll run into some tough trainers trying to get it first day too, that would be so cool it would be like i have my own real rival!

Golurks Were Meant to Fly October 1st, 2012 10:43 AM

The plan is to get it the day it comes out with a friend. If not on Sunday, then definitely on Monday.

This pretty much. I technically already bought it because my preorder is completely paid off, but I'll be picking it up the day it comes out.

Kikaito plush October 1st, 2012 10:52 AM

probably the monday after it's released here in the uk as that's when I have money for it.

stresszilla October 1st, 2012 11:46 AM

I pre-ordered my copy of White 2 so hopefully I get it the day it comes out!

Bounsweet October 1st, 2012 11:59 AM

Definitely getting it the day it comes out, as I have it pre-ordered and I'm like suepr hyped for it ;;

I think I have to work that day though, which SUUUCKS.

trapincher October 1st, 2012 12:04 PM

I'm buying it the 6th! Nintendo World is having a pre-launch event. Can't wait!

Brendino October 1st, 2012 12:06 PM

While I am excited for BW2, I probably won't end up picking it up until some time at the end of October or early November. As it is, I've only recently completed the main story on White, and I haven't even done much in regards to the post game on it, so I'm not overly anxious to get it just yet.

beanzapper October 1st, 2012 12:16 PM

I'll have to wait for it to get to my APO box, hopefully that's only a few days.

Me too. I'll be getting White 2, while my bro gets Black 2. Expect my trainer card to be updated.

Wobbachomp October 1st, 2012 12:36 PM

Definitely the day it comes out!

MVPokeStory October 1st, 2012 1:01 PM

I have an acekard but I probably still will buy the game when it comes out.

Killjoy October 1st, 2012 1:15 PM

I work the day it comes out, so I'll probably grab it either that night, or the day after

Xatumi October 1st, 2012 1:24 PM

When will you buy BW2?
 
The wallmart in town says they will have it in stock on October 7th. So if that's the case ill be getting mine on midnight of October 6, 11:59 pm. :)

Palkia October 2nd, 2012 4:14 PM

I'm preordering it, but I don't think I will be able to pick my copy up on release day as its on a school day and I would not be able to pick it up.

I'll probably pick it up the day after its release just to save some time.

mikey October 2nd, 2012 4:28 PM

I've going back in forth with what to decide. I pretty much decided I am not purchasing BW2, but im not totally sure. If I do decide to get it, it wont be when it first comes out. Maybe next year unless I hear its TOTALLY AWESOME which I doubt.

alisaie October 2nd, 2012 8:14 PM

Finished paying off my pre-order today so all I have to do now is go and pick it up the day it comes out. ♥ Hopefully I'll enjoy it more than my White considering this is the first Pokemon Game I have paid for myself.

Ω Ruby and α Sapphire October 2nd, 2012 8:28 PM

I'm not sure at the moment. I haven't pre ordered it because there will still be plenty in stock where i live, and normally its cheaper buying it in the first week it comes out than pre ordering it, so yeah. Pretty hyped, should be getting it this month sometime.

~RNC~ October 2nd, 2012 8:37 PM

I went to my GS today to make sure it was Sunday that's it's coming out (cause that's when I'm getting my copies of both) and just a short story, my friend up there said that there were more pre-orders for these games than black ops and ask why are they holding a midnight event for that game than for B / W 2!!

One thats surprising. Two JEALOUSSSS!!!

Im getting it on sunday. 5 MORE DAY ^.^ never been soo excited for a game

~RNC~ October 2nd, 2012 10:04 PM

I haven't either, I was surprised it's coming out on a Sunday, I thought new games came out on Tuesdays, but I am used to buying 360 games also!!

Meganium October 2nd, 2012 10:07 PM

I lack a DS right now, so I won't be getting one until laterrrrr. Probably after I finish this semester. I would have preordered it now, but me being a college student...that never happened. :(

~RNC~ October 2nd, 2012 10:09 PM

Don't be embarrassed about it no matter how old you are period!!

Ice Car October 3rd, 2012 12:17 AM

Have it pre-ordered and fully paid off. Plan on getting it release day.

mrsnuggles October 3rd, 2012 3:41 AM

I plan on getting it on release day i just wish i didn't lose my white version so I could get keldeo from game stop.
well at least we get genesect

TechnoEK October 3rd, 2012 9:27 AM

Pre-ordered, only it won't be here until a few days after it comes out.

blue October 3rd, 2012 9:47 AM

I'm getting it 12th October, the day it comes out over here.

MegamanDX October 6th, 2012 3:59 PM

Im going to bike ride 20 miles to my GameStop in 4 in the morring on the 7th so I can get it

Nick October 6th, 2012 4:19 PM

I was going to buy it tomorrow, when it comes out, but I don't have enough money in my bank account because rent and bills and food. I'm going to try to see if my dad can buy it for me and I can pay him back, but I think he's low on money at the moment as well. Otherwise, I'll have to wait until Thursday.

bk1997 October 6th, 2012 4:20 PM

already pre-ordered, with free carry case!!

rizoph October 6th, 2012 4:35 PM

I don't know when I'll get it. As soon as possible, I guess.

MarioManH October 6th, 2012 4:48 PM

Day it comes out, have been doing this since DP :D

Creamy13 October 6th, 2012 4:53 PM

probably never
 
i just download and play lol

Arcturus. October 6th, 2012 5:49 PM

I'm getting it tomorrow morning! Anybody else excited for tomorrow?

I will also be getting my copy of White 2 tommorow morning, cant wait!

Xatumi October 6th, 2012 10:09 PM

I GOT MY WHITE 2 AT WALLMART!! they actually had it in stock at midnight! needless to say i shall be playing it till sun rise!

~RNC~ October 6th, 2012 10:25 PM

OMG, if I had known I would have saved my money and went and bought them!!

.TheDon. October 7th, 2012 2:18 AM

When i'll buy it? Anytime soon for sure. I just "finished" pokemon white and i'm having fun with online battles. Nonetheless i just ordered pokemon Heart Gold and zelda 3ds so i'll wait. Probably i'll buy it when it will be on sale online.

blue October 7th, 2012 3:08 AM

Anyone got theirs yet? Since it's out in the US n'all!

Tyrantrum October 7th, 2012 4:57 AM

I haven't gotten it yet; it's almost nine in the morning here. I'd like to go now, but I pre-ordered mine at a Gamestop in one of the malls, and that mall doesn't open until 11:00 a.m. So I still have another two hours. D:

I'm so excited, though! I'm playing it as soon as I get home and will probably play all day. :)

Krazzikk October 7th, 2012 5:36 AM

Yeah I made a mistake pre-ordering from amazon. One, I have to wait for shipping, and two, I was supposed to get 2 day shipping, but estimated delievery date is thursday O_o

So yeah, got flicked off by amazon, never pre-ordering from them again.

According to Amazon, I'll be getting Pokemon [i] White2 [i] Thursday ;-; and I wont be playing too much until Mochaccino gets hers so I guess that's OK

Dechuri October 7th, 2012 6:47 AM

Already have it :3 heheheh

blue October 7th, 2012 6:55 AM

That's why I don't like to pre-order, although you can get it for the same day, it's not always accurate. I'm just going to go in store and get it on the day, I'm suure they won't be sold out especially if I go early.

Captain Gizmo October 7th, 2012 6:56 AM

Not having a job can really make your life harder lmao. Especially if your parents don't wanna lend you money also. So I'll probably buy it when I get a job :(

Newton October 7th, 2012 7:28 AM

I will wait a year or so... When I can buy is secound hand.

Mr Cat Dog October 7th, 2012 7:56 AM

Christmas at the earliest. Got no time to be playing any games at all, let alone Pokemon ones that I don't have a massive investment in at the moment. Besides, I've still got to finish my run-through of Platinum, so that will come first.

Wateria October 7th, 2012 8:35 AM

I'm getting it for my birthday present next month so no running around town looking for a copy of B2/W2

WingedDragon October 7th, 2012 9:30 AM

I got it alrighty and its great so far. Just got my first badge

Altairis October 7th, 2012 10:57 AM

I JUST BOUGHT IT like an hour ago! I haven't started but I'm really excited. :3 Soon I can finally participate in this forum, lol. I avoided it because of spoilers. C:

Killjoy October 7th, 2012 11:08 AM

Picked it up this morning. I was surprised to get the day off, so I'll probably spend much of the day playing it

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire October 7th, 2012 11:28 AM

I hope to buy it later today unless something comes up derailing my plans.

SnowpointQuincy October 7th, 2012 11:38 AM

The time on my DS was way off, so my adventure started on 10/6/2012 - a day "early". I bought it on release day, it's just that my DS clock was several hours behind.

Mario The World Champion October 7th, 2012 11:58 AM

I put in a pre-order on Amazon.com a few days ago. I should get a notice saying it'll be en route to my house.

I can't wait to start another Pokemon journey!

MightyHeracross October 7th, 2012 1:19 PM

I may go get it tomorrow. Not sure yet. Im not sure which I will get. However, I know I won't look at Bulbapedia at all when I play. I want to go back to the way I played RBY. No computer. Just kept getting surprised at every corner. Thats what made them so much fun for me :)

Livewire October 7th, 2012 5:11 PM

I don't know when or if I'll even get it. I haven't really played my DS in a few months and overall my interest has waned. I just don't really have time any more. :\

blue October 8th, 2012 7:02 AM

It's kind of grueling seeing others picking up their copies, but it's only 4 days until the EU release now.. that's gone quick tbh.

Cosmotone8 October 8th, 2012 7:20 AM

I'm getting it today along with Madden 13. :D I get all the video games I want in one run normally.

Superjub October 8th, 2012 11:47 AM

Just pre-ordered my copy now (I live in the UK so I've still got to wait a few days until the release) and I'm kinda praying I get it a day earlier (I assume it's gonna be too late since I literally just pre-ordered and it's come out in a few days, but I did manage to get Skyrim early last time so who knows.) Either way, I'm really pumped for when it comes. :D

Olli October 9th, 2012 9:58 AM

Pre-ordered a copy of Black 2 just a few hours ago, so it should arrive sometime at the end of this week, so just for the holidays$. Gives me lot of time to play the games :D

LividZephyr October 9th, 2012 10:07 AM

I haven't gotten it yet. Don't know if I'm going to. I'm waiting to see what everyone is saying about it. So far it seems to be "same old song and dance" in the early stages, only with a few great improvements despite the bad character design.

We shall see. I might pick it up by the end of the week. Don't know yet.

SoraTheTruth October 9th, 2012 10:57 AM

bought the day it came out

Stupidtigerz October 9th, 2012 11:05 AM

As soon as I am able to hack it, I will buy it >=D

SilverCrown October 9th, 2012 11:06 AM

Hopefully getting it on the day of the release in the UK.

Roughsponge October 9th, 2012 2:34 PM

Got it today! Some shop where I live sells the American copies of the game before they are meant to be released in the UK :D

Plumpyfoof October 9th, 2012 4:55 PM

Comes out tomorrow in Australia, super keen I even took the day off school to play it. And I have 3 interviews at various Universities.

Firox October 9th, 2012 5:53 PM

Sadly for me, I'll have to wait a few months, need to buy my diabetic medication first.

Thomas October 9th, 2012 5:54 PM

I went to Walmart at midnight on Sunday and got the overnight employees to.bring it out of the back for me. XD it took them a while to find it, but they eventually brought it out.

Heather October 9th, 2012 5:55 PM

When will you buy BW2?
 
Just got it tonight and I'm loving it! :)

Don Daddio October 10th, 2012 8:18 AM

I could be getting it a day before it comes out here in the UK coz i got an email from the shop saying it was dispatched today! only problem is, it'll arrive when i'm at school so i'm gunna have to wait til it finishes and run home as fast as i can and play it!!!!!! CAN'T WAIT! :D

LividZephyr October 10th, 2012 9:26 AM

Made sort of a decision. I'm going to be waiting for reviews for another game I really want before I decide between the two - if the game I really want ends up being sub-par, then I'm not sure if I'm going to want it anymore.

I only have about $53 in GameStop gift cards and since I'm pretty much broke, that's all of my gaming money. Have to pick and choose while I accrue more. Long story short, I get those via completing online surveys. $25 every 3-4 months or so. It's by invite only, so maybe I'm lucky?

blue October 10th, 2012 9:50 AM

Only two days until the European release date, can't believe it's here so quick! I know this ain't a countdown thread but I'm going to GAME on Friday first thing and I have the day off.

Don Daddio October 11th, 2012 9:38 AM

Got it Today! a day before everyone else here in the UK .... i'm loving it!!! :D

.Wolfie-kun. October 11th, 2012 10:31 AM

Got mine today, a day early! Thanks to ShopTo :)

holdmykidney October 16th, 2012 3:40 AM

Well I succumbed and bought it yesterday from my local indie :)

It's all you guys' faults. If I hadn't had such fun with the PCX and remembered how much I enjoyed pokemon it might not have happened ;)
