I am the only one surveyed that will not be purchasing either, and I'm proud of it.

ShadowSlashz September 2nd, 2014 11:37 PM

I'll preorder it soon if its not already sold out!

MarioManH September 3rd, 2014 2:58 AM

Either I will pre-order it and go and get it at Midnight of the release, or I will just buy it off the E-Shop at Midnight like I did w/ Pokemon Y.

Synerjee September 3rd, 2014 3:06 AM

I honestly don't know when I'll buy it. Even if I do buy it on its release date or some time after, it'll be useless unless I have my own 3DS, which is something I don't foresee myself owning anytime soon.

Benjamin Kuli September 3rd, 2014 10:22 AM

I wanted to wait for a while, but I think I will buy when it's released in Europe. Especially because I will be able to buy the limited edition for the same price as the normal one.

Mr. X September 3rd, 2014 11:25 AM

I'll proably buy both soon after release. Either that or buy physical for OR after relase and digital of AS on release, then physical for that sometime next year.

Iceshadow3317 September 3rd, 2014 2:07 PM

As soon as I can. I don't plan to preorder it though.

As soon as Gamestop opens their doors which for me is 8am. I already paid for both copies of the game. I wish that Gamestop has better pre-order gifts instead of a stupid poster (like I need another one)

November 21st

unsure if i should pre order it or not. games usually dont sell out here, so i shouldnt have an issue getting a copy, but i just want to make sure but i probs wont pre order unless there's a decent bonus... i really want those steelcases to come to australia, i dont care about the figures at all tbh

Altaria September 6th, 2014 11:40 PM

I already pre-ordered. Really hoping they don't sell out of copies since it comes out on a Friday and I have school before the Gamestop in my town opens. -.- I really wish that they reserved copies for those who pre-ordered. Isn't that alot of the point of pre-ordering anyway? D: Regardless, I can't wait. T-T

I don't buy Pokémon games on release date.

I prefer to play the game with a walkthrough in hand. But I did play X sort of blindly even though I bought it two months after release. :P However, it was the wrong choice because I nearly missed the Snorlax at the beginning of the game. Maybe "miss" isn't the appropriate word, you certainly can't miss it but I wasn't prepared for it and was lucky to catch it with the few Poké Balls I had.

So I'm not making the mistake with these games again...

TRGrunt September 7th, 2014 6:19 AM

I'll probably end up pre-ordering Alpha Sapphire, and possibly buying Omega Ruby eventually.

Sirfetch’d September 7th, 2014 5:04 PM

I'll probably end up pre-ordering both but I could see pre-ordering one and downloading the other on release day as a possibility. Either way I plan to own both of them on release day and play through both of them!

Hiatus September 7th, 2014 6:09 PM

I'll be getting it on release day, most likely.

I haven't pre-ordered the game yet, but there's still plenty of time, so I've got not much things to worry about, aside from saving up enough money. If certain circumstances prevent me from doing it, for whatever reason, then I'll go to the store and purchase it hand-to-hand.

Emboar September 7th, 2014 6:17 PM

I'm gonna hope I can buy Alpha Sapphire on the day it comes out like I did with Y, but if not, it will be soon after that. As for Omega Ruby, I plan on asking for that for Christmas.

Bounsweet September 7th, 2014 6:19 PM

Release date, as always. I've gotten Pokémon games on the release date since Diamond and Pearl came out, and I've pre-ordered every game since then. I just put down my pre-order for Alpha Sapphire today, actually!

Pepperton September 7th, 2014 6:39 PM

I'm getting it November 20th, because I actually own Pokemon. I am Nintendo.

What can I say? I'm just better than the rest.

L0RD G3NGAR September 7th, 2014 7:25 PM

I'm thinking as soon as it's released. That if if the stores have it that day where I live or when I get there, and if they are not sold out...

Hermione Granger September 8th, 2014 10:31 AM

I'll be getting both games the day they launch since I pre-ordered both at my local gamestop.

Jorah September 9th, 2014 11:50 AM

As long as the post is alright, I'll be getting it for the EU release date (maybe the day before? Please GAME?).

Cura September 9th, 2014 12:03 PM

I just pre-ordered both copies this morning, putting 5$ down on them both.
Since in October, I have to finish paying SSB4 off for the 3DS, I might as well, pay both off when the time comes for them as well.

PlatinumDude September 9th, 2014 4:59 PM

I pre-ordered Alpha Sapphire, so I'll be getting it on release day (Nov. 21).

LyokoGirl5000 September 9th, 2014 6:04 PM

If preorders count, I bought it the second it was available on Amazon. I always save up my money when a new main series Pokemon game is announced so I have enough money to buy it the second it's released.

Altairis September 10th, 2014 12:07 AM

I'm probably going to pre-order it at Best Buy, then walk over to get it since the store is so close. I'm so excited I will probably wake up early to go get it 8)

Diggerez September 10th, 2014 12:56 AM

I'll probably pre-order it before the release day and if not the wait for my birthday isn't that long so I'll just wait until then
