I was going to pre-order from Amazon but then I'm at College and the post office here is closed on Saturday.. So i went to my closest Walmart.



You wont have to worry about that! Haha In japan our Saturday morning is their Saturday Night going into Sunday. And you know them. Expect the starters finals to be shown Friday night XD

I actually want to surprise myself with the starter's finals...but if it's a long time before I get it knowing me I'll proably will spoil them...if it doesn't arrive early (late Friday) I'll proably go buy one from a local store too xD. I'm impatient.

I preordered my copies from two different places: X from GAME (Online, I'll make it up to my local shop by buying the guide book from them) and Y from Amazon.

In the past Amazon always delivers on release date for me, though I always get their release date guarantee which is free. GAME is a bit more shakey, I have had games before release, on the release day and shortly after release from them... I'm hoping for an early release from GAME, as I'm out all of the 12th- Though my parents can sign for my copy, so if a copy arrives early I can play it on the train to London! (I've not got my hopes up though, I'm already prepared for an all nighter on the 12th to make up the lost time!)

MarinoKadame September 27th, 2013 5:12 PM

For me Amazon say I will get it the 18th.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 27th, 2013 5:18 PM

They said mine will arrive by the 17th...so I'll proably be buying a copy from Game Stop or Wal-mart and return the pre-order copy.

Hiatus September 27th, 2013 6:20 PM

I've pre-ordered Pokémon Y version on GameStop. I have pre-ordered another game from GameStop once before, and it arrived at the front door of my house exactly on the release day. I'm expecting the same thing to happen with Pokémon Y. :) If I don't get it on the release, then I will most likely get it the next day.

If I were you, I wouldn't go through all that hassle. The game's being released on the twelfth, and you're getting it on the seventeenth. You would just have to wait five extra days, which isn't much. d:

Water Gym Leader September 27th, 2013 6:29 PM

I preordered from GameStop, and since my 3DS likes to lose its data, I'm not trusting it with downloaded games. plus I'm camping out my GameStop for a Midnight release on said preorder.

Cerberus87 September 27th, 2013 6:41 PM

I will get a boxed copy but most likely not before a few weeks into the release.

CoffeeDrink September 27th, 2013 10:45 PM

I'm planning on going to the midnight release, koff~

I've never wanted to go to a midnight release before, but I think I'll go this time. I'm sure to get something good, koffi~

Tombo September 28th, 2013 1:33 AM

I have pre-ordered mine because I like to have a physical copy and then I will actually feel like I "have" something for my money :)

Adryel September 28th, 2013 2:01 AM

gonna get the eshop copy so I don't have to worry about changing cartridge to transfer it to pokemon bank :D

EDIT:
oh yeah got a question, my 3ds is pretty much used and got a eshop account already
so what happen if I delete the old E-shop account? can I make a new one?

MrGriszell September 28th, 2013 6:49 AM

i just dont know.... i mean sure i guess i would like a hard copy but i know as soon as it comes out on the eshop at midnight im not going to be able to control myself. And i guess the way i look at it is that Neither X or Y will be my main game ....it will be the last game of the generation , kinda like i had BW abd B2 but W2 ended up being my main game. So ill justify getting it on the eshop by saying ill get the next one on hard copy.

What nintendo needs to do is release cards that you can transfer your digital games onto to make them physical

Pokemon_Hero September 28th, 2013 7:36 AM

A bit off-topic, but does anyone know if a 8GB SD card will be enough for this game? (from eShop)
note that I don't have any other game on this SD card.

Lol wanna bet. There are gen four games Ive seen at game stop sold at full price dont think that e shop will drop it unless they decide to put it on sale. Which i dont see that happening.

I all ready fully paid my pre ordered

Sceptile14 September 28th, 2013 8:18 AM

I think that I'm just going to get it on the day it comes out, and won't bother Pre-ordering. Plus, the release date for me is a Saturday, so I can spend my whole weekend playing it :D

Adryel September 28th, 2013 8:50 AM

yeah I'm just gonna wait til it's saturday so I can buy it already on Nintendo e-shop
not gonna get out of the house again just to go to the mall to fully pay my pre-order :D

That is a long five days. He will have to use the internet eventually and go on youtube and he will see all the videos all the pictures. He does not want to ruin it for himself. So I say he just hits the Return Pre-order button and go to the Closest of the list. Walmart Gamestop etc.

They wont that would cause a lot of bootleged games thus making them lose profit.

Missingno98 September 28th, 2013 1:38 PM

I am thinking of getting one version on eshop via Game UK because you get Pokedex 3D Pro as a free bonus download and I haven't got it yet and the other version as a physical. I'll probably order the physical version from Shopto because they deliver a few days early usually.

Exactly, you get me :) And considering my activity on these forums...it'll be difficult...
I'm with you MrGriszell...I proably will end up buying the e-shop version if I'm awake at midnight...as I'll be too anxious...

You will be awake at midnight lol. Friday Night + the Hype for Pokemon. I know I will be up and at Walmart and In a line.

PlatinumDude September 28th, 2013 6:24 PM

I preordered my X version last month. I might get Y on the eShop if I get enough money for it.

Boxed copies of older games will run for full retail price or more as they become rarer due to being out of print.

DelphinusVyse September 28th, 2013 7:21 PM

I'm tempted to get my copy on the eShop, same as I did with New Leaf. I don't really have a problem losing games, but I like not having to carry around a cartridge for each game, instead I can just toss my DS in my pocket or backpack, and I'm good to go. If one of my local Gamestops are doing a midnight release however, that may change my mind, as being able to meet some local Pokemon fans and trade friend codes would be worth the trip for me.

Adryel September 28th, 2013 8:41 PM

Pokemon X and Pokemon Y e-shop
 
I got a question it'll be the release at 12 AM at October 12 in the Nintendo e-shop right?
is it gonna be in what time zone?

DelphinusVyse September 28th, 2013 11:03 PM

As far as I'm aware, the release is tied to your own home timezone.


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 4:44 AM.
