21st November, yay for being in the US. :D I might go with the digital copy since I'm always lazy to go into GameStop alone lol. Though I definitely prefer physical copies. We'll see!

Deltios September 10th, 2014 1:07 PM

I'm planning to Pre-order Alpha Sapphire a month in advance, to ensure release-date access.
I have to wait a month tho'. Don't get much money from mom (Though enough to be satisfied, let's not ask huge demands here xP)
Saving up for ANY game takes one month. Works for me. ^^"

I am going to be preordering one of the versions this weekend when I go home. No GameStop around my college right now lol. Probably AlphaSapphire because Sapphire was my first Hoenn game. So I will pick up the day it comes out, and probably get OmegaRuby soon after.

I haven't been this excited for a Pokemon game since HeartGold and SoulSilver.

I ended up reserving/preordering my copy at target. c: since i work on release date, i'll go in in after work. (since i heard things get messy when preordering games is from gamestop)

εcho. September 12th, 2014 9:53 AM

I'll be getting Alpha Sapphire on release day (21st here).


Still not sure whether or not I'm going to download it at midnight or pre-order and then go to the store and pick it up... I have class at 9am so it makes getting it from EB Games first thing in the morning impossible, but I don't know if I have the patience to wait until 1pm when all my classes are done. x3

bobandbill September 13th, 2014 3:33 AM

I'll preorder it, but I'll have to pick it up a day later (unless I get someone to pick it up for me). I'm in another state until then quite likely, which is a pity but I suppose is still better than waiting a week longer like poor Europe...

Sceptile14 September 13th, 2014 9:53 AM

28th sadly :( I'm going to have to hibernate from the internet for a week(although, it being a remake, means there's not a lot storywise to be spoilt).

XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE September 13th, 2014 11:35 AM

On the 28th for me as that's the release date; I'm lucky that in previous years I've been able to just waltz into the store without pre-ordering so I'm hoping that'll be the same case this year lol :)

Colress Machine September 13th, 2014 11:38 AM

Gonna preorder Alpha Sapphire as soon as I get the chance, and I'm going to pick it up on the 21st. I'm gonna get Omega Ruby later on in the year (unless I get the money for both before hand).

Aizuke September 13th, 2014 1:58 PM

Pre-order both Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, which both come out on the 21st of Nov here. I pre-ordered each from different places so I could get different pre-order exclusive items. And one of the places I pre-ordered from might be doing a midnight release with a tournament and winner gets their copy of ORAS free. 8) Totes gonna enter and win that prize!

MarcEddy September 14th, 2014 12:28 PM

saving all of my lunch money daily so i can preorder

Starry Windy September 16th, 2014 2:21 AM

I'll make sure to buy Alpha Sapphire on November 21st directly from eShop when it's out, but I'll make sure to be able to buy Omega Ruby too when I happened to have enough money to get it.

ilias_ September 16th, 2014 2:27 AM

I'll pre-order Alpha Sapphire when I get the chance and it's going to be delivered to me on the 28th. so, yay ^^ ^^

Universe September 16th, 2014 6:45 AM

PFFF.

Midnight on release day.
Operation: Walmart.

8D

janejane6178 September 16th, 2014 7:00 AM

gotta wait till the 28th, then buy at e-shop :/
sucks that the game launch wont be worldwide like last time :(

Alex September 17th, 2014 6:43 AM

I want to pre-order so I can pick it up at the midnight release and spend my weekend playing it. But I've never pre-ordered anything before and I've read some issues regarding Pokemon releases in Canada where they don't happen same day as US, and possibly closer to the European release date. EB Games says I can get it on November 21st, but our Future Shop & Best Buy mega stores say they'll have ORAS in stock by November 30th. So confusing. Alternatively I can order off of Amazon but I'd rather have the novelty of lining up for a midnight release.

Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire tho???????????????????????

Kenchiin September 17th, 2014 3:22 PM

Oh yes I will. Like if my life depended on it.

blue September 18th, 2014 3:15 AM

I'd actually consider going to a midnight release of they hold one for ORAS in the UK, especially now that I can drive..

Killjoy September 18th, 2014 10:41 AM

I usually buy them on day 1, but the 21st happens to be my yearly stupidly expensive car check up, so we'll see. I should have the money for both, but I don't want to over reach

Necrum September 18th, 2014 3:32 PM

I plan on buying both on the day of release, assuming I can get up enough money for them.

HollyYoshi September 19th, 2014 7:00 PM

I'll certainly try to get in on November 21st. Considering my birthday is less than a week before, maybe I'll get a gift card I can use to pay for it. =)

Nagi September 20th, 2014 10:58 AM

i'll be pre-ordering it, but as i have a japanese 3DS i'll have to order my cartridge in from japan. so although it comes out on the 21st in japan, i hope it'll be in by the time the games come out here on the 28th!

AxeBeard McBeardAxe September 22nd, 2014 11:05 AM

I live in the US, and have a copy of both versions reserved at my local Gamestop already. This fact dictates that I HAVE to pickup the games within 48 hours of their release, or they'll be given away. (10/23) But why on earth would I wait two extra days?! Too much hype to handle, too much hype to handle.

lozzop September 22nd, 2014 11:44 AM

Somewhere around the 18th of november, seeing as that's the release date for the UK :p

JustAnotherIllusion September 22nd, 2014 11:46 AM

Preordered from Amazon way back in May as soon as they put the page up and got free release day delivery. Don't judge me lol. So will get it on the 28th.
