Pre-Orders
 
http://www.gamingunion.net/newsimg/first-batch-of-pokemon-x-and-y-artwork-and-screenshots.jpg

With Pre-Orders for Pokemon X & Y cropping up on many sites now including Amazon, GAME, EBGames, PlayAsia etc. Have you or will you be pre-ordering them, or will you just pick up a copy in store when they're released?

EJ January 19th, 2013 4:15 PM

HHNNGGGGHHHHH, must ....resist .....urge t-t-t-to preorder.

I will later when I know for sure the $40 won't set me back,

Venitardus January 19th, 2013 4:18 PM

I probably will Pre-order it. i did it with Platinum, B/W and Black 2

Treecko January 19th, 2013 4:23 PM

Most likely once I have my 3DS and when pre-orders are made available in the US. All depends if I can get the money on time.The only time I pre-ordered a Pokemon game was for Pokemon White when Gamestop were giving away the shiny legendary beasts. Didn't know I needed my DS and a Gen IV game so I missed out the chance to get a shiny Raikou, a Celebi and Zoroark for my game. >.<

Probably not....at the very least not yet.

Where I live I don't usually have to worry too much about games getting sold out....that said I might pre order a month or so before release.

vaporeon7 January 19th, 2013 6:20 PM

They've never sold out on the first day where I live before, so I doubt they will this time. It'd have to take a really good bonus gift to get me to pre-order.

True, but now a days, I pre-order games juuust in case!

And X&Y won't be any different for me~

RedWing January 19th, 2013 8:16 PM

I will...when GameStop advertises that the games can be pre-ordered in the USA.

roosterman January 19th, 2013 8:29 PM

i haven't had the problem of gamestop not having it yet but the last 2 times i got a new game, it was 1 day after release and i got the last one. now that i got my friend obsessed with pokemon by letting him play diamond, i gotta pre-order so he can't get the last one and leave me without gen 6.

darkpokeball January 19th, 2013 9:30 PM

I will preorder...if I get a preorder bonus. Otherwise, probably not.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire January 19th, 2013 9:56 PM

Most likely I will not pre order it. Thus far the only game I've ever wanted and ended up being sold out was Pearl...though I'm glad as I later learned about Platinum which was to come out in 9 months after I tried to buy Pearl (I didn't enter gen 4 until quite late...) so I waited for the third version.

Sydian January 19th, 2013 11:45 PM

The only time I've preordered was when I imported and since the games come out worldwide in October as well as 3DS being region locked, no need for that. I've never preordered English copies so I probably won't do that. I may ask for people to preorder me a copy for my birthday though. My birthday is in August. Last year for B2W2, I just saved birthday money till their release, but still, it'd be nice if someone just bought them for me so I can use my money on other things idk. lol So maybe I'll actually preorder a game I can read for once!

Firox January 19th, 2013 11:50 PM

I may not pre order the game, I"ll wait till release day - later on I might change my mind and pre order it.

Platinum Lucario January 20th, 2013 1:02 AM

Yep, I'm definitely pre-ordering both Pokémon X and Pokémon Y from EB Games here in Warrnambool, Australia. The games are so exciting and so amazing, since I saw the Pokémon Direct presentation. And even today... I'm still excited about the games, I wouldn't wait any longer to pre-order the games immediately. ^^

BLOOOD-La-ti- January 20th, 2013 2:25 AM

Either yes or no,
I don't really know,
I can afford just buying it right away but....
I don't have to go out and buy it if I Pre-ordered.
But I'm sure I can just go out and buy it.

Kikaito plush January 20th, 2013 2:36 AM

I will not being pre ordering pokemon Y and X online or in the town/city because I don't need to as easily get it on release day or after that.

Ichinish January 20th, 2013 3:29 AM

I'm will not Pre-order.

I really want to play XY but I'm yet to decide if I will buy N3DS or not.

Urugamosu January 20th, 2013 3:42 AM

Of course I will. I've pre-ordered games from d/p till now, so I'm going to have to ore-order.

Gerri Shin January 20th, 2013 5:35 AM

I will probably pre-order at least one, if not both. One of the two gamestops closed last year, putting more pressure on the other to have games in stock.
I just know that I want to have at least one on release day so I can begin a Let's Play now that Ive got a good setup for it.

Ho-Oh January 20th, 2013 6:07 AM

Yeah I'm gunna pre-order. Not sure if I can really afford to get both at once, given how much the 3DS costs, but we'll see! I want to pre-order just for the bonus, to clarify ~

Synerjee January 20th, 2013 6:18 AM

*sigh* I can't.. If I could though, I won't unless I have a 3DS, which I will probably never get until I'm old enough to buy one for myself without anyone caring much about what I buy. [i]If[\i] I had a 3DS, I will have to see about the gift that comes with pre-ordering. It's simple: if there is a gift, I'll pre-order. If there isn't a gift, I won't. I love free gifts.

Bluerang1 January 20th, 2013 9:52 AM

Preordered B2 and didn't get a gift, not doing that again.

Cordelia January 20th, 2013 9:57 AM

I will preorder, but I'd like to get something for doing so... unlike B2W2 :(

PokéZoom January 20th, 2013 10:07 AM

Of course! I absolutely need to be completely sure that I'll get a copy on day 1.

EQUALSGAMER January 20th, 2013 10:16 AM

If they have some cool extra like the two lugia and oh-ho statues for ss/hg I will but if not then I won't since when b2/w2 came out I thought they would sell out quick so when I got up early to buy it but when I got there only one copy was sold so I don't think I have to worry about them flying off the shelves.
