How and when do you plan to get the games?
So while the last pre-orders thread died I wanted to ask something deeper than that.
Do you plan to trade in previous games to get these for a discount (if that's even possible??) Are you going to save up birthday, Christmas, Easter, and so on money? Or maybe ask for a boost on your allowance or get a part time job? Will you wait a little longer and not get them at release day but rather for something like Christmas, or do you intend to go there and get them on release day? Maybe you even intend to pre-order them so you can make sure you can get them as soon as they're released? ...or, do you want to pre-order them, and go there on release day WITH Christmas money to get for someone else??? :3 SHARE YOUR INTENTIONS! |
My job basically allows me to get a discount on electronics such as video games, so, I'm going to pre-order it, so that hopefully I'll be able to get the promotions that come with it too. n__n Or, if all else fails, my birthday is on November, so, maybe I'll get X&Y a month later from October.
|
By the time the games come out I should have worked all summer to the point where I have enough spending money to afford one of them. :] Even if I don't I still have money now that I could use but I'd rather not.
I'll probably end up preordering it from Gamestop because they are BOUND to have a preorder exclusive and I can pick it up pretty close to where I'll be living next year. :] |
Probably going to get both day 1 with whatever money I have. Preferably 1 of them is going to be through the eShop, and I'm going to have it as my main.
|
The money will be no issue, but I don't have a 3DS yet. I'll probably buy a 3DS XL in the Summer, so I'll have something new to play with while on vacation :p
I'm probably quite busy with school already in October, so I don't know yet if I want to buy it right away, since it will distract me from the more important stuff. If they give us something nice with pre-orders, I'll just pre-order it, otherwise I'll buy it when I have the time to play it. |
I want to get the game in some kind of bundle with a 3DS, cuz that will be 2 birds with 1 stone & also the 3DS will be Pokemon-styled & that would be really cool...
|
I already pre-ordered X on the 20th in February from GameStop and even chose a quicker shipping option since it was only like $3.00 more. I'm just so pumped up and excited for this game!
|
I'm gonna make sure I have enough set aside so I can buy it without any difficulties. I preordered Y from Gamestop and put $10 down, so I'm probably going to go once I'm done with classes and pick it up the day it comes out.
|
I luckily didn't spend too much money I got from my summer job, so I have saved up enough to get at least one of them, possibly both, but i don't know. As for when I'll get it depends on when they release it. I'll be in gamestop morning of the release ^-^
|
Ideally I'll have a job again before summer starts so I can work enough to get both a 3DS and one of the games on release day. Honestly, just as soon as I possibly can.
|
I made up my mind, I'm going to pre-order both games, I get more than enough during pay day, so money isn't an issue unless I spend it too fast (Pokemon merchandise). I already have a 3DS XL.
On release day I will pick up the two games. |
I already have the money for my Pokemon Y (or X, going to wait to see version-exclusive Pokemon first to decide which to get) and a Nintendo 3DS XL with a black skin and protection cover (absolutely hate the 3DS XL colors). How do you pre-order X or Y? I love my mother for spoiling me ^_^
|
The first time i pre-ordered a Pokemon Game was when Black2 and White2 were coming out, and i loved playing the games as early as i it hit the stores. I guess I'll be doing the same when X/Y come out. Since i already have a 3DS im not going to wait for a bundle i think, and i do have a part time job, and I've been saving up too. The only thing im not sure about is if i'll be pre-ordering one or both games.
I usually take my pick depending on the version-exclusive pokemon, but somehow i always end up wanting to play the other version too...so either i pre-order both, or just one, and I'll get the other at a later point. |
Since the games are unlikely going to be released in time for my birthday, I'm going to get them at Christmas again like I did for Black 2 and White 2.
I might get them as Christmas gifts, but I did get my 3DS last Christmas so you can say I'm well prepared. And OMG 6,666th post! |
getting y on october probably a few days after its released from belgium.no nintendo products get into my country unfortunately :( i already have 3ds xl so im well prepared for it
|
For me I intend to get them on the release day, as I have done since HeartGold. :3 I won't be doing anything special and I'll only pre-order if there's something good tbh.
|
I plan on buying them both on the release day at a videogame store not far from my work place.
|
I plan on getting Pokemon Y on the day of the release, and it will probably be my birthday gift since my birthday is in October.
|
I'll likely pre-order and pick up X on release day.
The other Pokemon games i've pre-ordered in the past are Gold, Ruby, and Heart Gold. I've had a 3DS for over a year as well, so no problem there. I bought it in anticipation of the US release of the Tales of the Abyss port (which I never even finished) :P |
Something related, but, there's actually 2 ways on getting these games; do you guys plan to get the actual game copy of the games, or do you plan on buying the digital edition of the game for the 3Ds?
I plan on buying the latter because, well, I do like having the actual, physical copies of pokemon games, so, I don't plan on breaking my tradition. :( |
Birthdays beggining of october, so pretty lucky there, probably just go and pick it up at game
|
I would need to get a 3DS before that, and even then, I would probably have to wait a while for the price to drop on the game... Or hopefully have enough money to get it earlier then I got most pokemon games that I have right now.
|
Probably going to pre-order them a month of two before October and pick them up at my local GameStop release day. I need to buy a 3DS first though.
|
I plan on getting both, Pokemon X and Y on their release dates, as well as a brand new Nintendo 3DS XL. I'd only pre-order the games if something came with the pre-order, anything at all really.
|
I plan on reserving my copy of both X & Y at a Gamestop once the opportunity presents itself. I wasn't able to do that with B/W2, & if I hadn't came early, the clerk wouldn't have sold those copies to me.
I don't plan on making that same mistake again... |
Im just going to buy them on release day, I have the money to buy them.
|
I will get them as soon as it hits the shelves of my local stores.
|
I'm hoping to buy them on release , though at the moment I don't have a 3DS. So I'm gonna try to get a job by the summer so I can save up enough money to get both. I'm leaning more towards a 3DS XL right now since I like the size and better battery life. Once I get a 3DS , I'll pre-order the one I want (Most likely Y but I want to know more version exclusives first.) so I can pick it up on release day in October.
|
I already preordered both, as well as paid both off. I just need to pick them up when they come out.
|
I'll probably try to get them, specifically Pokémon X since that's my choice, on October. I do save a lot of money, and I think I can afford it and buy as early as I can. However, I don't buy a lot of games, and the money I save are mostly for emergency uses. So I'll get it then on my birthday or Christmas.
|
I've got a job so money won't be a problem but I do have to get a 3DS first. Hopefully they'll have a sale between now and october because I definitely want to play the games the day they come out.
|
My birthday's in mid-October. You guess.
Will have birthday monies to pay for it. Yay for already having a 3DS (solves half the issue lol) I don't live with my family, and I don't have any friends where I live. My coworkers don't like Pokemon, so I'll probably get this by myself (with boyfriend tagging along for company, whether he wants to or not) and enjoy it by myself lol |
I'm going to pre-order it ASAP and have it arrive on release day.
|
I will try to PRE-ORDER pokemon Y
|
I'll probably get X at Walmart on release day, along with a 3DS. Would've bought a 3DS already if I hadn't gotten laid off, I'm hoping there will be some sort of X&Y bundle (maybe with a Xerneas-themed 3DS? Yes please.)
|
I plan on getting Pokemon X on the release day before I go to work. My local Gamestop is practically right next to where I work.
|
I may buy one after the overall features common to both and version differences are known. I don't want to buy what is essentially another White only for XY2 to do what BW2 did. Game Freak will have to produce the refined game from the get go and then expand on that with their sequels, not produce half a game then release what the originals should've been.
Should cancel my pre-order, actually... don't know why I would ever pre-order anything. |
First I'm gonna get a 3DS. Then after that I'm probably gonna wait a year or so (not sure). Then I'm gonna see if there's a third version then I'll probably gt that since the third version is always the one where you can catch both legendaries from the previous versions :3 Also I'll probably get one after reading those things from serebii since I want to know the version differences like the pokemon, places, and all those other stuff.
|
I'm going to pre-order both of them some time before they are released.
|
Maybe before the 30 June for the 3DS to get Platinum for Club Nintendo.
|
I'll pre-order one of the games if there's enough space for more pre-orders, since I still don't know what version should I get.
They overprice videogames in Mexico, but I think I have enough money saved up for the game. |
I'll pre-order the first of october, I'm likely gonna pre-order pokemon x since the legendary looks cooler than y.
|
I already have them both preordered. *-* Hopefully my gamestop will do a midnight release (I don't think they have in the past, but I do believe they opened early on pokemon day...).
|
It's what, $40? No planning needed
I'll just be buying Pokemon Y the day it comes out no crazy saving up or holiday occasion money needed. & I thought I was poor O_o |
Day 1 purchase for me, that's how all my Pokemon games are bought
|
I have not decided which one I will buy but I will pre-order it!!
I cannot wait!!!!!! I bought a 3DS XL so I am ready haha |
i want to buy both >o< because what can i do only with one D: its like have part 2 and dont part 1 oAo ....also want kh e-e but ksjadha im poor u,u ill get money D: lets bake!! D:!!
|
Tbh, I'm losing interest in X/Y because lack of news, so I don't see myself getting the games exactly, since I haven't actually owned a legit copy of the series since gen 2...
But all in all, I would want X in a few years or something, you know, so the original price goes down. |
Pre-Orders
http://www.pokemonxy.com//_ui/img/_en/homepage/boxart/Pokemon-X_us.pnghttp://www.pokemonxy.com//_ui/img/_en/homepage/boxart/Pokemon-Y_us.png Now that we're only a few months off the release date and more retailers are taking pre orders, have you pre ordered Pokemon X or Y yet? Do you think there will be any pre order bonuses or promotions closer to the release? Discuss! |
I haven't decided if I want to preorder or not. I don't even have a 3DS.
I usually do if there's a preorder bonus of some kind but that doesn't seem to be a popular thing to do anymore. ;n; |
I haven't pre-ordered my copy yet, but I will be pre-ordering closer to the release. Pokemon games never had pre-order bonuses, but I'm pretty sure there will be a special pokemon event that we can get for around a week or two after release.

I did put money into reserving a copy of both games, if that counts. I did that not for any of the bonuses, but to insure that I can secure them.
Last time that I bought a game that came out, the retailers said that if I hadn't come early, they wouldn't have sold it to me. This happened when I tried to buy B2 & W2. |
The bonuses usually kind of suck. The coolest ones (here in the US at least) were the little statues. I got my hands on the Giratina, Lugia and Arceus ones.
I haven't pre-ordered yet, which is odd as I usually do right around the time they announce the games, or as soon as you can pre-order them. Both legendaries look really cool in my book, and I can't seem to pick one over the other. So that alone is making it hard for me to choose which copy. I think as soon as I find out more about the typings of these two and just more about the games in general, I'll go pre-order. |
I don't really see the point of pre-order as my town game stores do not do the pre-order bonuses. if there was bonuses I would defo pre-order it closer to the time of release.
|
If was living in the USA/Europe I would have pre-ordered, but since I live in the middle east ordering online will be very expensive, mainly because of the shipment fees.
I will probably wait till someone travels to the USA/Europe to get me the games & the 3DS, or even better get me a bundle containing the two. |
I will definetly pre-order but I'm not in a huge rush to. There is still 6 and a half months to go.. and need to buy a 3DS first. So I'll wait till Summer when I actually have a job to do all that xD
|
If there's a bonus. I cant believe that BW2's was Keldeo which everyone got.
|
If there are any bonuses, then I will surely pre-order both games.
|
I haven't pre-ordered yet. I usually wait for more pre-order bonuses to be announced before I make my decision on where I'll pick up the game.
|
I'll definitely pre-order, if there's a bonus even better, but i wouldn't really care.
I'm not sure how to pre-order though. I usually do it in a gamestore, but I'll be moving to Spain this August to study/work there, so maybe i'll pre-order online? Has anyone tried that already? How soon do you get the game delivered? |
I don't want to preorder because I hate what preordering does... Even if Pokemon never seems to be corrupted like other companies with preordering. See this...
If there is a 3DS Pokemon bundle with X or Y preinstalled on the 3DS, I will get that, as I feel having a Pokemon game on demand without the game card is the best thing ever. I really wish they would put more games as downloadable on the market as well... Not sure how the bundle will connect to your account so that you may download a bundle game later if its deleted or something. |
I've been pre-ordering Pokemon games since Pearl Version, so I definitely will with X. I'm not going to until I see which store has the best pre-order offer, though. |
If I get a 3DS beforehand, I am so going to preorder it. If I can't I'll just pick one up in store...in a midnight release of course!

If I get a 3DS as a gift, definitely but otherwise, unless I miraculously come up with a lot of money, I'm not getting it, never mind pre-ordering it.
|
I'll pre-order both games in August, hoping to pick them up (GameStop if possible) instead of them being shipped.
(why not earlier? i need to buy my tickets for upcoming football games in Seattle) |
I have preordered and paid off Y version. My girlfriend has preordered and paid off X version.
Definitely looking forward to it. I hope they decide to give us pre-order bonuses like they did with 4th gen. A Yveltal and Xerneas figure would be amazing. |
If the pre-order bonuses are good then I may pre-order, but I'm hoping there'll be a midnight launch at my local GAME as there usually is at the beginning of any Pokemon generation (and sometimes even things like Leaf Green). You're guaranteed cool stuff just for turning up and buying it if that happens.
|
I will pre-order it when I can! They are not available for pre-order here yet but I pre-ordered Black 2 and it was cool! haha
|
/merge
To be honest, I don't really have to pre-order either of them in advance. In my area, it's hardly likely that they'll be sold out before the day ends on release day. Although, while I don't have to pre-order them, I would like to do so a month before release day. I don't care for any pre-order bonuses, but I wouldn't mind getting a figurine! |
I think imma preorder it! Just to make sure it isn't sold out already! I cannot wait till October! My birthday is in August, which will get me some money (at least I hope it will).. Imma be working during summer and that will be helping as well!
|
I am going to ask for X for my birthday since the release date is a few days before it. I will eventually get Y later when I have finished X. But yeah, I will probably tell my mom to pre-order it so that I get the bonuses.
|
It'll depend on Pre-Order gifts (which at the moment there are none). I think we're doing a large sale like we did with Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. If there is a sale I may get both from work (one for me and my brother). If I have to work that day I'm totally putting two copies aside for myself after an hour. If I'm off, I'll be clawing at the front door until we open XD
If Gamestop has a good Pre-Order then I'll pre-order my brother's copy there and buy mine with my discount at work~ Why pay full price when I get 10%? XD |
I pre-ordered X at Best Buy and Y at EB Games. (It was available at bestbuy before eb)
|
I still have to buy a 3ds before I make the decision lol. I was thinking of getting both games but I'm not sure yet. I love to play both games where you have exclusive Pokemon and just gives you variations to your teams.
|
I'm just going to march into the nearest JB HI FI store, purchase both X & Y (on release day), then run home to play them! :P ... I've never felt so hyped for a Pokemon game since Ruby...
|
How and when I plan on getting X or Y.
It took me all night to come up with such a devilish plan. Dreams of Chespin Fenniken and Froakie danced all night long in my head. That is when my eyes opened and I shot out of bed. I was getting Pokemon x or y even if I am alive or dead. The plan was simple I say. I still cant even stop smiling up till this day! Oh what a plan it was. Such a devilish plan. Soon Pokemon x or Y will be in my hands. My plan you ask? My plan indeed is as simple as can be. The night before you see you see while all you little good kids sleep and smile with glee! I will stake the truck to my local Gamestop. For Free For Free I can see the whole truck of Pokemon x or y for me! That is with my deliberate scheme! Take the truck hostage for friends and family. In the end Pokemon x and Pokemon Y will be all for me! Then I woke up and realized it was all just a dream within a dream. For real though. I have a job. Get my $600 Paycheck this Friday! More than enough. |
I'll probably just use the same way I did with Black 2 - download a 3DS emulator and grab the game in the torrents!
I would love to grab it for 3DS, not for PC, but I don't think you can buy them both in Eastern Europe. :( |
Quote:
|
It will probably come out until October.
If it won't, then screw it, I will forget everything I knew about X and Y. |
I've actually put a £5 deposit in at GAME to ensure they will reserve me a copy on the day, just in case there's a sudden sell out of the games which is likely given the amount of people wanting them.
|
I haven't yet, but I do plan on pre-ordering Pokemon X from GameStop. c: I plan on getting Y too, but probably not on the same day, because I am sadly a broke person. x3 So Y I'll probably buy later on, probably used. xP
|
I saw pre-order cards for them at Target, so I grabbed one of each. I'll get them at some point during release day. :D
|
I never really trade-in any games, so it'll be pretty much the same thing when it comes to getting Pokémon X and Y. I've got both Pokémon X and Pokémon Y pre-ordered anyways, so I'll be getting it right on it's release date once it's revealed during the E3 Nintendo Direct next week.
And here's the thing: even though Nintendo and TPC did say "Worldwide October 2013", but I'm sure they meant it's going to be separate release dates within the same month. :P |
Quote:
|
I do not have a 3DS yet. I am going to see if they will have a combo pack with the game and a 3DS and buy it then most likely. Other wise, I plan to get it the same day I get a 3ds.
|
I'll buy it the weekend after it comes out. I think there has been a trend in the UK (where I live) where it has been released on a Friday, so there is only one day until the Saturday. But it's a worldwide release so perhaps it will be different. I also have not bothered buying a 3DS yet, as the only reason I'm buying one is for the new Pokemon games. No other games interest me on the system.
|
Pre-ordered both. Plan to be there five hours before Game Stop opens.
|
I preordered and paid for both in full. I may also get another copy to give to my younger brother for Christmas. I preordered using birthday money.
|
I guess it's going to be another early wake up on the day of the release, I remember picking up Black & White from GAME in my town at around 10AM.
|
I think I'll do it the old-school way, and just walk into a store when the game makes it to the stores around here. I don't have much hope for the game being on the eShop in the first place, so I guess I'll have to make do with that. Kind of annoying, to be honest.
|
On my birthday. I won't preorder because, well... too hard and I know it's coming. I am weird, so don't question me. xD
