20 Days Mark - How Are You Prolonging Your Hype?
So today marks the 40 days mark until the release of the much anticipated Pokémon X & Pokémon Y. More precisely, according to my desktop counter, at the time of this post we have exactly : http://i.imgur.com/nrJeccT.png I have kept myself hyped through this long wait, by deciding to watch the entirety of the Pokémon anime from beginning to the most recent episode by the time I get there - I've just seen Ash beat Drake at the Orange League and say goodbye to Lapras. I'm also playing through a Nuzlocke of SoulSilver. My question to you is: How are you keeping yourself hyped about this game? |
I've been anticipating these games from the word go, or the 8th January to be precise... I can't believe we've only got a little over one month to wait now and I bet these coming weeks will feel like they're going by veeeery slowly. ;;
|
I'm doing a nuzlocke of Pokemon White whilst trying to train a number of Pokemon in Black 2 to keep my mind off of it so I don't explode with excitement. Also watching and re-watching a bunch of the movies.
|
I don't do anything related to the games or the anime. I just draw the Pokémon revealed so far, around 2 (Maybe 3) a day, but not daily. I sometimes take breaks from drawing, though. Some days I do not feel like it. ~_~
I've got 14 out of 29 so far. |
It kinda feels surreal, I mean I feel like they haven't released enough information to be coming out with a game in a month. But whatever. I'm kinda occupied with school so I think the less I dwell on the release, the quicker the day will come.
|
I've just been speculating and discussing on here. I'm trying to not overhype myself like I did with Gen V's pairs, it makes the time go by quicker...
|
I'm not really doing much to prolong my hype. Maybe it's because, while I have pre-ordered it, I don't really have the money to buy it yet so until then I feel like if I tried to hype about it then I'll be let down by not being able to get it on release date. But I suppose I've been playing other games and doing other things to distract myself so it only seems that way because when I think about X and Y I do get pretty excited!
|
This month is going to be so long. ugh. I am so excited about the games. But I will avoid all the spoilers from now on. I kinda want to discover everything on my own :)
I am playing Black 2, hunting for a shiny Eevee and training 2 teams! :) This will keep me distracted haha |
40 days till the release...that means 40 days of saving money!
I've been very excited about it each and every day, there's still many many unanswered questions about the starter evos and everything else that's important. But we will get there eventually! |
college starts tomorrow for me. So that should keep me busy.
|
Alcohol. And lots of it. Joking (slightly) Mostly just making my rounds on different forums. Most of my time waiting has been waiting for the next CoroCoro, in order to break down the anticipation haha! |
I can't believe that after nine months since the reveal of this generation, my head has not exploded. A little over a month doesn't sound so bad, but I have a feeling the days will start to increase in longevity. In order to pass the time without these games being in my head, I tend to play(or replay) Pokemon games that I've never beaten(which were mainly spin-offs), and just playing other games in general. I've bought quite a few 3DS games that I haven't opened yet since I got them. Also, I'm doing full time at a university, so that should pass some time up as well. I think I'm good to go with waiting, and I've also decided to stop reading spoilers once October comes, so that should be interesting.
|
Rewatching all the Pokemon Trailers for X Y.I shed tears of happiness(literally)while watching each one.I think of myself throwing the pokeball and my little chespin coming out.
I am thinking of shutting the wifi down for october and play those untouches 3ds games. |
I try spend my time playing pokemon games and using a lot of pokemon I didn't got to use, so I won't be bothered by this when I will mainly use six gen pokemons.
And soon I get my 3ds XL so It be more easy to spend time with work, working out and video games |
I can wait, because honestly, 40 days isn't very long. I still have about three games for my 3DS that I haven't completely finished, so playing these games would be a great way to pass time. I'm planning to pre-order Pokémon Y on GameStop within the next couple of weeks, so that as soon as the game's released, it would arrive at my front door. I'd be one of the first to play it. n__n
|
Focus on college and 40 days feel like nothing.
|
I actually am fine this time around and not counting down like I have with previous gens. I mean I can't wait for the new generation, but I still haven't played Black 2 yet, and don't have a 3DS (and besides X I also want Animal Crossing: New Leaf). I most likely won't even buy the game until late October or November unless I buy my 3DS this month. So with the other games I want, the 3DS I've yet to buy, and everything else I have going on in life (school, work, money, stress, blah) I'm sure the release date will get here faster than I want it to. I have too much going on to be as psyched as I could be. (-_-)
|
Well I made sure I got a job so I can save up the money to buy the game.
|
just gotta make sure i have the money to buy the game, plus i still need to pre order it :P
|
Im working 50+ hours the next few weeks to save for a 3ds thanks to me being a drunken fool and breaking my other one. All these bills suck but its totally worth all the work to be able to buy the system and the games yes i will buy both like i always do. I havent been this excited since gold/silver/crystal came out.
|
Started a new play through of emerald, and this time trying to breed for a perfect Swampert, Blaziken, Aggron, Flygon and Salamence. They're my most favourite non-legendary gen 3 pokemon.
Still gotta go grab me a 3DS |
Well let's see.... In July I started playing through Black 1 and 2 again. Finished 1 and about to go to Poke League on 2. Once I do that, I am going to train and take on the Battle City thing and get my Shiny Gible. I don't know what I am going to do after that. I guess I could play through Pokemon HeartGold again.
Already got the money held back and already got my 3DS, just waiting for the games to come out now. Luckily I am going on a vacation at the end of September. Not to mention I am also taking an online class I can focus on to keep my mind off of it. |
Oddly enough, I am holding off on playing any Pokémon from this month until the release of Pokémon X and Y. It is hard to go without any Pokémon, but it will make the wait much shorter and the game much sweeter for me.

I tried keeping myself hyped by playing though diamond and watching though best wishes when my hype suddenly burnt out yesterday. I didn't even want to buy the game anymore. It reignited when I woke up this morning. Now I'm kinda trying to chill out and limit my pokemon usage so it won't happen again. I don't even know what I was thinking. |
I'm keeping up with all X and Y related stuff on Tumblr, and even reblog said information if it interests me. But yes all I can think about is how awesome the games turn out!
|
I'm gonna hibernate until it's released...
But other than that, I'm not doing anything in particular. I might try to just keep my mind off it until a few days before its release. Then get super hyped (again) and get it with all my friends. |
Waiting for more new information just to get me hyped.
|
Playing Pokémon Ranger Guardian Signs and random Pokémon text-based RPGs to pass the time.
|
Pop music is keeping me busy.. but my boyfriend will be buying me a 3DS soon so I'll have that to mess around with beforehand. So exciting.
|
My brother asked for Pokemon X and Y for his birthday. You bet your noodles I'm gonna swipe that as soon as he gets it. SWIPER NO SWIPING
|
Actually, at first I was super duper excited, but have suffered somewhat of a lull until I decided that my boyfriend was getting a 3DS and we were going to play through them together. I'm super excited for it now. That said, the saving for the 3DS is occupying my time until then : with less than 40 days left, the pressure is on to raise about €150 to be able to afford the 3DS and Pokemon X (which includes my share of covering the 3DS) and Pokemon Y.
until then, I'm trying to behave and not keep talking about them irl so people don't get sick of me :P |
I've been distracting myself as much as possible :P I start school tomorrow so that'll definitely keep me busy for at least 8 hours a day.
I'm also looking forward to GTA V ahead of X and Y, since it releases almost a month earlier. Once GTA comes out, I'm hoping the days will just fly by :D |
ive been working on a small hack
|
The days will fly by when GTA V releases

I still have a hundred other games to finish, so there's something to do :P

As for how I'm holding off my hype - I'm not. Hype train got no brakes. |
I honestly can not wait! I pre ordered both and can not wait to play them! Even took the day off for that day haha(x
But for me im watching all of the Unova region animes and also trying to finish my PokeDex before the new Generation is out! Just need 44 more! |
Every now and then I go back and look at what's been revealed so far so I remember exactly what I'm waiting for. I've been doing that rather than staying current on what was revealed 'today' and instead look at 'what's already revealed,' if that makes sense, haha.
|
To hold myself over I've been playing PokeMMO and replaying Pokemon Emerald :) .
|
Just had a look online at a date and time calculator aaaand;
Alternative time units 39 days can be converted to one of these units: 3,369,600 seconds 56,160 minutes 936 hours 39 days 5 weeks (rounded down) It's amazing that were literally only 39 days away now, I remember when it was 9 months to go and that didn't seem long ago at all! |
It's hard to contain my hype from the get-go.
|
I still need to buy a 3DS before I can put in my preorder for X and Y, which is probably something I will end up doing before the month ends. Other than that, reading a few books, listening to some new albums, working on a long term writing project, and perhaps playing over Platinum is what I might do to pass over the time. Honestly, compared to the months we've waited since January, less than forty days is not that long. It's sort of surreal how quickly the time has passed by since.
|
I'm finishing up my Black 2 game to keep me preoccupied while I wait. I still have two games on the wait list that I need to play (I'm redoing Diamond and Soul Silver). I don't plan on playing them yet because there is no way I'll finish in time. : P The GameStop events are helping make everything move faster for me as well.
|
For me it's visiting pokemon forums and related sites however I don't want to risk burning out my hype so I don't want to read everything. Mainly interested in the new pokes. ^_^
|
I'm keeping my hype by playing various other games and online games. I'm recently keeping it by playing NFS World and it is keeping me patient for so long. I also have hobbies which also keep me patient and most prominant among them is drawing. Also hang around Deviantart and participate with PMD-Explorers.
|
Got exams to keep me busy for the time-being, yipee! -.-
|
I will be spending the next 38 days deciding whether to pick Bulbasaur or Squirtle...damn picking between them is almost as hard as choosing between the three Hoenn starters...

I'm also planning on training some B2W2 Pokémon during the meantime now that transfer to XY has been confirmed :3. |
I tend to get busy and distracted from all of the pokémon hype easily due to the fact that I focus on real life things and work a lot but I always check in every week or so to see what's new. I'm getting better because I was only a day late in reading about the latest new features. So far the only thing keeping me from getting too hyped is the fact that I'll be playing another soon to be out game later this month and that will keep me busy until Oct 12th. Until then things are rather boring and even my older games are not interesting to me. I really want the next big updated piece of information to mention what the starters become. I will be really annoyed if fennekin becomes fire/fighting. It's like that's a broken record right now. It was awesome in Ruby but now it's old. I'm hoping for fire/psy or fire/dark. If it's fighting then I'm using froakie XD
|
I'm trying to finish a heap of Pokemon games I bought recently...
It's getting really tiring though. I've started from Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, all the way through to Black 2 and White 2. I'm up to White 2 now, just finished beating the first gym. I feel like it's such a drag, so at the moment I'm on my GBA playing FireRed. I still have LG and R/S/E to finish as well! Not to mention Luigi's Mansion 2, Mario and Luigi Dream Team Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. U ... Lucky the PS4 isn't out yet, I'd have another 3 games on that list, CoD: Ghosts, AC: Black Flag and Watchdogs... |
Quote:
I've been replaying all of the games... I thought I would maybe finish them by the time the new ones came out, but I'm only on Platinum, unfortunately. Oh well! This will be the first time in a while I'll be playing a game right after the release, so I'm really excited about that. |
Just picked up my shiny Dialga from EB. Gonna learn how to 5th gen rng for these last 3 event pokemon.
My guess is that the shiny creation trio will trigger an event in X and Y like the shiny beasts did in gen 5 |
Quote:
I'm also going to be replaying some of my other 3DS games and see if I can finish them again before release...36 days left now so I'll try to complete one every 13 days since I have 3 games. |
I was not so hyped for Pokemon X and Y release dates, but then I heard about 2DS coming at same day for 100 €.
Thoughts after that: givemegivemegivemegiveme... |
Well, I just started soft-resetting for a shiny Charmander in SoulSilver, in hopes of getting one by the time X and Y come out. I have the time and patience for it, but I don't know if I have the perseverance - it's so boring! D:
Edit: I got my shiny after only two days. I was shocked I got it so soon. Now I'm just continuing to fill my Pokedex in SoulSilver. I also need to keep training in Black so I can beat Alder. |
I have Breeding and Legendary catching so that will take a long time.
|
I've been replaying some older games of Pokemon main series as countdown,
from DP(completed) > HGSS(nearly complete) > RS(on the way to sixth Gym) > BW1 > Pt > BW2 But... |
I wish I had 5 brains and double the amount of hands so I could finish replaying all my Gen III/IV games before the release........ Sheesh, transferring all of these pokemon from B2W2 THEN XY will be a pain in the pooper!
And here's to hoping the starter typing isn't the same as the older generations. I've kind of had enough of fire fighters. :I |
Playing through Ruby at the moment, then when the time comes I'll migrate my ruby team to the 6th gen, it'll be quite the journey.
After that I'll play platinum since I never got past victory road on it. Pokemon bank has made me more interested in migrating pokemon since I won't have to worry about losing cartridges. |
I try to get play coins for some cool fortune cookie stuff in animal crossing new leaf.
|
With all things considered ... since my birthday is the 14th it'll be an almost early b-day present ^_^
|
I've been thinking about restarting White 2. But trading events and EVd mons from W2 to White will be a pain. I may start by Wednesday, if I do decide to replay it. º3º
|
I know I started this thread, but I'm going answer it again! Haha. With my new job as a high school teacher and Final Fantasy XIV to keep me busy it's going so quickly! Seriously. When I made this thread it was 40 days left and now it's 33 days!!!!!! :D My desktop countdown in its current state! http://i.imgur.com/xbxEQlq.png |
30 Days Mark - How Are You Preparing Yourself?
So for our regular countdown, we now have 30 days and exactly ONE month left until the release of the much anticipated Pokémon X & Pokémon Y. More precisely, according to my desktop counter, at the time of this post we have exactly : http://i.imgur.com/SrROV8g.png With the announcement of Pokémon Bank and PokéTransporter, I have made sure to go through all of my old games to transfer them to Pokémon Black 2 in preparation for transferring over to Pokémon X & Y. My question to you is: How have you got yourself prepared for the release of these games? Not just in regards to preparing Pokémon for transfer, but in life, how have you prepared yourself? Have you booked time off work? Have you told your loved ones that you are hibernating for a week? |
I'm late,just started saving up for a 3DS :3
I'm getting it only for Pokemon X and Y & the future Pokemon games so... |
I am still undergoing mental preparations in anticipation of the games release, where I will without a doubt vomit and enter psychosis upon the sheer sight of the opening screen. But actually, I want to skip all preparations and just have the game already. Maybe preparing will ironically take my mind off the dread and torture of waiting.
|
By finally starting to save up to buy the games haha : P
|
Just going to merge this thread with your previous countdown thread to save cluttering the forum.
|
I am so excited. It's going to be the longest month ever. ugh . I want to complete my Pokedex in Black 2 so I will transfer them all in X. I am not in a hurry tho cause I am going to pay for the Pokemon bank. :)
|
I need to finish transferring over 100 Pokemon from Gen 4 to Black 2 to complete my Pokedex. I always complete the Pokedex before the next generation. Plus I want my Froakie.
Can't wait. 9 days after my birthday, and no school for a whole week after the games release, that's gonna be sweet. |
I'm glad it's now 30 days the last ten days felt very long for me. I hope the next 30 go by quickly :3
|
I'm trying NOT to get hyped, getting myself busy with random stuff because I know I'll never be able to get the game anytime soon TT__TT
Though I'm replaying Emerald, for like the 5th time now or something, one of the ways to kill time :P Probably when the game comes out I'll refrain from opening any Pokémon-related website so I won't spoil the game & its events... *sigh* -_- & even after I get the game I won't ^_^ gonna be busy playin lol |
30 Days actually feels like a reasonable amount of days, back in January it was something like 240 days which is waaaaay too long. As for what I'm doing whilst I'm waiting, I've decided to restart Heart Gold again which should hopefully spend up some time.
|
I just ignore the fact that it's coming out while I occupy myself getting Black 2 pokemon ready for transfer. It's going to be a hectic 2-3 days straight when it does come out. I will not be getting any sleep lol.
|
Im not really hyped at all, of course I want to come out, and see the new features, but the fact that I cant play it really makes me sad. I don't have a 3DS and I don't really think i would get one, maybe Christmas, but probably not, last Christmas they buy'd me a PS3...
And in Spain everything's going bad with the money so... Anyways, maybe they release a cool 3DS + Pokemon X/Y with a custom color with a drawing of the legendary, I really hope so. A Dark Red like this with the upper-left part of Yveltol drawed, only lines of this but a little bit more red. If that happens I MUST buy it. Well, the design that i said only for the Y version ofcourse. |

Well the latest two days have thankfully gone by quickly so it maybe a sign of time speeding up :3
|
Beat the elite for on platinum while I'm waiting, Cynthia was a pain in the ass. My vaporeon was hyped up on x battle modifiers by the end.
Playing the older games makes me realise how easier it is to level up in 5th gen. |
I preordered Y yesterday and now I am playing B2 (because I never finished it) and replaying Pokemon Blue (yes the original)! I am so stoked for this game! Can't wait for it!
|
Quote:
Nope I didn't see that ones. Then I MUST do everything to get one. |
Spend my time with working, playing mario and luigi dream team and for the first time I'm trying to beat the battle fronteir in Emereld
|
While I'm waiting for X/Y, I play Black 2 and replay Rumble Blast. There's also schoolwork and my job to keep me occupied as well.
|
Well let's see. I think I posted on this when it was first made. But I have beat most parts of Black 1 and 2 again. In 2 I am working on the Black City 10 floor thing. Not sure what it is called. I am also working on getting a mainly Black and White shiny, Absol/Zorua and I am thinking of playing HG again. Then of course I have all the real life things, but last four days of Sept. I'll be on a vacation.
|
Do you mean like how we're dealing with the fact that the games are this close? If you mean prolonging the hype, I don't think I need to do anything to keep the hype going. Ganefreak's already done enough for me to be rabidly waiting for this one. I might start up a run of Heart Gold in the meantime, though.
I just look at a picture of Tyrunt and all the bad goes away. :] |
Well GTA V comes out in a couple days, so I'll be playing that while I'm waiting, since I'm pretty hyped for that game as well.
|
Replaying Pokemon Black 2.
Also, playing Baldur's Gate 2. Keldorn, ftw! And of course, GTA V is going to satiate me until X&Y get here. |
We've finally hit the four week mark!
We'll be getting news soon so that should keep the hype ^_^. Also I'll be spending time looking at other future releases. |
I'm desperately trying to reconstruct several of my regional teams before XY's release, which is a tedious task, because I am searching for team members with appropriate natures and at least a rating of "Relatively Superior" from the stats judge (IVs must total 121 or higher). So far I have scrapped together 3 members of my Johto team (Bayleef, Mareep, Pineco) and I am currently breeding for an Adamant Snubbull (because they are too rare to search for in the wild). My other team in progess is for Sinnoh, and so far I've only have my Piplup. The other 5 I will breed from members of my original Sinnoh team who unfortunately have horrible stats. As for the other 3 regions, my Unova team is complete on my Black 2 version and I will remake Kanto and Hoenn using the Bulbasaur and Torchic in XY.
So yeah, I have my hands full. |
I'll be playing alot of other video games,as well as doing alot of high school homework. That stuff should keep me busy until X and Y comes out.
|
I'm mainly trying to find anyway possible to get the money for the game. Been getting a bit more serious about getting a job. Also been wanting to finish a drawing for X and Y by the day of their release. Lastly , and I'm probably the only here, I still need to finish my first playthrough of Black 2. D: Still at Lentimas Town and haven't done anything since I got there expect pick up my Shiny Palkia from the Pokemon Center and I have had this game since December. >.>
|
I'm breeding various Pokemon that I'll transfer into Pokemon X or Y (I haven't decided which one I want yet).
|
Praying that it arrives on/before release date, and not after. I won't be able to keep myself away from forums.
|
Only 26 days left and I feel like October is too far away. I can't explain this ~_~
Still hunting for a shiny Eevee. I don't think I'll get it before the release date of X and Y, I am so unlucky ;-; |
I don't need more hype. It hurts </3
Either way, I can't wait to travel Kalos with Froakie! It's a good thing that it's break from school around that time. |
Well, I'm playing Black 2 all day long, catch a lot of pokemon, then check their stats. I'm also saving up some BP for some tools that I need for breeding
|
I am currently re-watching the anime both TV Shows and Movies, I have also decided to do a ultimate monotype challenge from Fire Red, Soul Silver, Emerald, Platinum and then finally White 2 I am just unsure of what type I am leaning towards Ground.
|
Between X/Y, American Horror Story Coven
And s4 of the walking dead.. September can't Possibly end soon enough! |
