Preorders for Sun and Moon already open!
 
http://mynintendonews.com/2016/02/26/pre-orders-for-pokemon-sun-moon-have-already-opened/

Fresh off its announcement, Preorders are already opening up. So far- Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop. I haven't stuck to a version I want yet, but I've been leaning toward Moon and am really contemplating going to GameStop and preordering it now. ^^

I'll preorder mine once a little more information is revealed. I want to see the cover legends and version exclusives before I make my final decision. I am leaning towards Moon just going off the names but maybe the Sun Pokemon will change my mind :)

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire February 26th, 2016 11:52 AM

I tend to get the second versions so I'm leaning towards Moon too, but Sun might be interesting. I need more info before I pre-order.

Not seeing it on Amazon or GAME yet...way too soon for me in any case. Winter 2016 means I might be able to ask for it for my birthday (although I will most certainly not wait until Christmas) and I suspect some sort of special edition will pop up with figurines or something, similar to ORAS. I'll wait and see what the retailers offer - and for what price - before I preorder anything. It's not like the games will go out of stock anyway.

This is totally me {XD} Although I'm acting out on my hype a bit, haha :P I initially wanted to wait until we saw the cover legendaries, but I'm still fresh with hype so I just can't resist. And even so, when the covers are revealed, I can always switch should I like the Sun one more :)

Another possibility is to just pre-order both, which I am strongly considering doing right now. I usually wait to get the second version but it'd be nice to be able to play through two at the same time.

Bounsweet February 26th, 2016 12:27 PM

This is going to be the first time I buy both games on release date but honestly, both titles sound so enticing and promising that I'm gonna go ahead and do that. Plus, I usually end up getting both versions eventually anyway!

Sydian February 26th, 2016 12:41 PM

I woke up to my co-worker sending our GroupMe a video of him panning to the computer and panning to the door yelling, "WE'RE TAKING PREORDERS FOR SUN AND MOON!! YOU HEAR THAT GAMESTOP?!? SUN AND MOON!!!" So that's exciting! I will probably preorder both when I go into work tomorrow. n__n

Iceshadow3317 February 26th, 2016 12:59 PM

No way will I preorder without more info. I probably won't preorder anyway. I usually never do. Depends on the special offer.

Currently I am leaning more toward Moon, mainly because I love night time more and when i think of the moon, I think of Ice types and that is my favorite type.

Hikamaru February 26th, 2016 7:07 PM

I don't usually preorder, but I'll likely get both versions with Moon as my main.

Rivvon February 26th, 2016 7:15 PM

I mean, I get the feeling that I'll be leaning a bit towards Moon myself (I rather like night, especially in relation to in-game Pokémon), and it's cool that the pre-orders are open so early for those who want to nab them now, but like most others here, I'm gonna wait. Not only to make my decision on which game to buy (who knows, maybe Sun will surprise me!), but where to buy it. If there's a midnight release close-by, or if one location is offering worthwhile pre-order bonus goodies, I'll pre-order the game from there.

Astinus February 26th, 2016 7:16 PM

I'm probably going to preorder both. Since they're new games and not just remakes, I'll be looking to have one game to use as my "main" game and another to just constantly try new things on. So I tend to get both.

When I'll preorder them remains to be seen. I might do it tomorrow, since I'll be near two Gamestops, but...that just seems ridiculously early to preorder.

Cay February 26th, 2016 7:49 PM

I'll be around a gamestop tomorrow, I'll be sure to make my order! Pretty sure I'll stick with moon, but worst case scenario, I'll get both. I know it's kind of silly to get things this early, but I am just happy to secure a copy. One time, I did get lucky, though: I got a copy of Xenoblade 3D without pre-ordering anything release day somehow.

Dedenne1 February 26th, 2016 9:46 PM

Im not all for preordering but I find it cool how fast they got it out I'll probably just run out the morning of to get my copy :3

bobandbill February 26th, 2016 11:22 PM

EB Games here in Australia already has them for preorder as well - got the email this morning.

Of course they put the placeholder price straight to $70. :V I'll likely just preorder when there's more details (like a release date) and then pricematch.

pkmin3033 February 26th, 2016 11:27 PM

They're up on GAME now too, for any curious UK dwellers. £39.99 placeholder price. Like hell I'll be paying that. I expect they'll drop them down to £34.99 in due course, and Amazon will probably have them for £30-33 at some stage (although I will NOT be ordering from Amazon, and I wouldn't recommend anyone else does either!) as well. Still early days.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire February 26th, 2016 11:28 PM

I hope they have something special for pre-orders.

Firox February 27th, 2016 10:27 AM

This will probably be my 3rd time pre-ordering.
Going to pre-order both on my next pay day!

chacha77 February 27th, 2016 11:51 AM

Lol I think I will wait and see first. I don't want to pre-order one game and then realize I would of preferred the other.

Desert Stream~ March 3rd, 2016 7:26 PM

I'll get both for crismas. Sun as my main, for a change.

HyperJono March 3rd, 2016 7:33 PM

I'm not sure what one I'll preorder I kinda want both of em but I think I might get moon. I'm gonna decide in about a month what one to get

Hermione Granger March 3rd, 2016 7:51 PM

I'm getting both, but I'm not pre-ordering until after E3.

This is the first time I've honestly seen anyone recommend not to order from Amazon. If anything, I refuse to pay for things from Gamestop, EB, or GAME. I worked as upper management at a local store and I can tell you the policies are utter bull.

To stay on topic, I'll be grabbing myself Sun most likely! I've always been for the "darker" themed games, so this is going to be a nice change for once. The last time I bought an opposing theme was Ruby a long time ago...

Why not? I've been using Amazon for years and never once had any problems with them.

As for pre-ordering, I'll be waiting a month or so. One, in the hope that as more information about the games is revealed, it'll help me make my decision as to which one, and two, I can't afford to at the moment!

JJ Styles March 4th, 2016 8:37 AM

If preording comes with a Magiana plushie, then I'm sold. Then again, if that ever happened, 90% of the Earth's population would do that and an all out Pokebattle or World War III would happen D:

Some of my friends have already been sold though. I'll ask whose in my circle of friends are getting Sun so that I'll feel much better getting Moon.
