Possibly end soon enough!

I know the feeling. For me a lot of anime I'm looking forward to are coming out in October...
However look at the time, only 13 days left in this month :) And 25 days in total until XY.

xseed September 17th, 2013 5:19 PM

I have doing everything possible to make time go faster.
replaying morrowind(which hasnt worked well beacause the old crap keeps messing up), watching anime,listening to music,playing roms, playing pokemon fangames ect ect ect. loool

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 22nd, 2013 4:22 PM

20 days to go now! We're soooo close. Well school begins for me in 9 days so I'll be busy with that for the final lap of waiting.

20 days is not long at all!!! :D

Well specifically, for me I have 18 days, 17 hours and 5 minutes left! :D I can't wait! I'll no doubt get it 1 or 2 days earlier anyway! :D

Hikamaru September 22nd, 2013 10:12 PM

Wow only 20 days to go!

I'm busy finding all the X/Y fanart I can on Tumblr and sharing it, and maybe even following some of the posts about X/Y as well.

Wobbu September 22nd, 2013 10:20 PM

It seems like yesterday that the games were announced on the Pokémon Direct...
I remember when we hit the 40 days mark, and time has flown since then. I'll just wait it out, assuming that the next 20 days will happen just as fast. Between school, work, and other activities, I have plenty of things to do for keeping myself busy.

metalhand September 23rd, 2013 12:31 AM

I can't believe only 20 days left, it feels like just yesterday we had to wait over 200 days.

pokerex September 23rd, 2013 6:01 AM

It feels like the 30 days mark was such a long time ago, and yet the day that the games were announced feels like yesterday. I hope these last 20 days will go by really fast

BluuArrowz September 23rd, 2013 7:50 AM

Spearking of fan art I found this cool countdown thread for XY with multiple fanart for every day left on tumblr. Very creative way to countdown the days...we should've down something like that here...

19 days left now! Once we get down to 12 days we should do a Kalos version of the 12 days of Christmas xD

Yeah that's just awesome!It got me even more pumped up
19 Days left....We can make it guys!

hughes September 23rd, 2013 10:47 AM

Well, I'm in college, so it's pretty easy to keep distracted. X and Y are coming out on the first day of our midterm break, so when I get off work I'm heading to GameStop to pick up my copy. Also, I'm the president of our school's Anime Club and when we come back from break I'm having an X and Y party.

Jimmyray September 23rd, 2013 11:15 AM

I wish there was a reasonably priced 3DS capture card the market so I could record my journey :(

SkyRyder September 23rd, 2013 11:28 AM

It's weird to think that when this game was first announced, I was preparing for the 2nd semester of my senior year of high school. Now it's merely 19 days away, and I'm sitting here in a university three hours away from home. A lot sure has happened within that time interval. ._.

I still have plenty of resources to shred time with; homework, games, friends, and more games. I think I'm still good to go. It's almost as if I have this game's launch date listed on my calender... heh...

I know the feeling...except for me it was Generation V as a whole. I went from being Junior in High-School to a Sophmore in College by the end of it (it end October 11th by which I would already be beginning my Sophmore year).

I actually do have the date on my calender...sometimes I stare at it as if doing so will make time move faster...it doesn't...

SaniOKh September 23rd, 2013 3:30 PM

I mostly keep busy by replaying Gen 4 and, time permitting, Gen 5. Pokémon X & Y hype is one reason I am doing this. My new 3DS with a capture card is another :) .

RegretZM September 24th, 2013 9:42 AM

I'll be completely honest, I was really wary about a new game at first. Kinda like, "BUT I WAS HAPPY WITH THE LAST ONE, THEY DON'T NEED TO MAKE NEW POKEMON." I've warmed up to the idea now, but the problem is I have no money to buy a 3DS, and my regular DS is broken. I've resorted to playing the games I have on emulators, but other than that I'm more sad than happy about not being able to play the new games when they come out.

FlamebirdXZ September 24th, 2013 12:32 PM

I've been playing through the Mass Effect series. I want to finish Mass Effect 3 before the release :3

bookishangel September 25th, 2013 4:29 AM

I've been keeping busy with getting ready to move out of my parents house.

Mithel_Celestia September 25th, 2013 6:04 AM

Only two weeks left and the only thing left I need to worry about are my Finals -__-"
I also got Fire Emblem for my 3DS some days ago and it's keeping me occupied while I keep myself from bursting from excitement.

Ah you just reminded me that i still have to finish it i'm on the final chapter on lunatic classic, what difficulty are you playing it on?

DarkEmeraldRarity September 25th, 2013 6:35 AM

untill the end of may to actually play the games,I'm gonna be studying alot of pokemon for the new tries and Pokemon Showdown will give me a feel for these new creatures

Shattered September 25th, 2013 7:39 AM

First post!

Maaan, since day one I've been excited for October 12th! GTA V have eaten up a load of time and probably will continue to do so.

Wind Waker HD doesn't come out in the UK until October 4th so that will completely drain the last week of waiting.. Then it'll be time to dust off my 3DS.

I've preordered X + Y for myself and also got my girlfriend Y. I'm thinking of primarily playing X though..

Between GTA, Zelda and work... October 12 will be here in no time. Yay!

oiracul September 28th, 2013 11:53 PM

Do you have anything special planned for the X & Y release?
 
Here in New Zealand its 9pm on the 29th so we have just under 2 weeks till the release of pokemon X and Y and im getting pretty pumped!

So im wandering if any of you's have anything special planned for the release date?

For example I'm going to be keeping my self away from the internet during the last week of waiting so no surprise leaks pop up that will spoil the story line or final starter evos! im then going to be picking up my pre-ordered pokemon Y version on the 12th (which would be a day before most of you :P ) and im going to be sitting next to the power plug pulling all nighters with tons of junk food and energy drinks and I will be unheard of from the world for a few weeks :D

What do you guys have planned?

Andrew Shard September 29th, 2013 1:45 AM

FIRST OF ALL! I won't buy it till christmas... I know it's sad T_T but I'm in university and I already gave a ton of papers to deliver... I will die until then...
BUT BUT! I will buy a 2ds first since 3d hurts my eyes... And pokemon X version for sure! Xerneas is one of the best pokemon designs I have ever seen.

Do you think I'm doing bad by buying a 2ds?

It doesn't really bother me about the 2DS, but in general- why don't people just play without the 3D on? Maybe I misinterpreted the specs of the 2DS... The fact it's more like a tablet in design really puts me off, imagine having to carry it around. {D:}

I feel so sorry for you. Waiting till Christmas?! THE PAIN!

Dark Hole Games September 29th, 2013 3:07 AM

I am trying my best to not read up on most of what information is out there about X&Y because I want to be surprised, but since I work for GameStop I have to be able to tell customers about the game and get them hooked (which isn't hard, but when they ask questions I need to be able to answer). But I have shut myself down from researching for the past 2 weeks so I can be a little surprised :)

Now depending on how my work schedule looks like I too will be glued to my 3DS playing Pokemon X for a good portion of my days. My two siblings and gf are getting it on launch day as well, so we will all be playing together. Giant LAN party haha. Now I will also be playing the Battlefield 4 Beta; and once Battlefield 4 launches officially on October 29th, 2013 I will then be juggling both of these games on top of making Youtube videos and live streaming.

I plan to get a 3DS capture card so I can do live streams and make youtube videos of my 3DS games. But right now I only record Xbox 360 games.

I'll also have the strategy guide for Pokemon X&Y so if anyone needs help I will do my best :)

Oshakpop September 29th, 2013 3:19 AM

Well.

I've pre-ordered Y and just bought myself a 3DS XL.

Starting from tomorrow, I will be watching a Pokémon movie a day up until release (I only have 11 movies on DVD).

One plan that I may do is on the 11th, my local ASDA should be doing a midnight launch, so I'll be heading to the shop and buying my copy as soon as I can at midnight.

However, as buses don't run at that time, I might not be able to get there and back, so if that plan fails, I'll be waiting for the post. I've ordered from ShopTo who sometimes deliver games and they come a day before release, so I'm HOPING that happens (unlikely XD), but if not, I'll probably be stalking the forums up until I get my games.

Damn! I'm in Australia so you get it a few hours early =( But yeah we get it a day before America >:) Finally we get something before them!

I really want to stay away from the internet up until October 12th, but I know it's gonna be impossible because I'm in holidays now, and I'm quite anti-social so I have nothing to do but homework(LOL who even homeworks on holidays?) and search up "Pokemon X and Y" on youtube to see if there's an opinion video I haven't seen yet...and refresh Serebii every 5 minutes...and the official website...and these threads...omg hurry up time!

Ebgames aren't doing a midnight release :/ But that won't stop me! I'm going to convince my brother to park outside the shopping centre on the 11th and sleep there, and wake up at 8:55 in time to get X and Y first served!! GAH I CANNOT EVEN WAIT.

I did the same thing because I thought that Australia weren't going to get the special Pokemon X and Y 3DS XL. 2 months later they're released and now I just want to curl up in a ball and sulk in the corner.
