Have you pre-ordered yet?
 
Has anyone pre-ordered the games yet? If not, will you? When?

Mikachu May 25th, 2019 10:24 AM

I pre-ordered both, one for myself the other for my wife, the day they were avalible for pre-order ^^

colours May 25th, 2019 12:08 PM

Not yet. Although it's highly likely I'm going to pick one up anyway, I really want to see some sort of trailer or something giving me that extra push to pre-order either game. As of currently, I'd be reaching in the dark and I'd like a little more info about what I'd be getting myself into with game exclusives and the like.

Child Amnesiac May 25th, 2019 4:00 PM

Not until we get a new trailer.
Probably because I want to see the boxart/see if you need NSO to play the game.

bobandbill May 26th, 2019 10:05 AM

Not yet; not sure if I'd do digital or store, really, and there's not that many options for it here. IDK if there's even the chance of a preorder bonus here (one reason why I would preorder...)

MonadoXY7 May 27th, 2019 5:44 AM

Been there, done that. All I have to do is wait and save up money.

Sheep May 28th, 2019 8:47 AM

To answer my own question, nope!! Most likely will a bit closer to release day though. \o/

professor plum May 28th, 2019 9:21 AM

My boyfriend and I will definitely preorder once it gets closer to release date. I'll be doing in-store pickup versus delivery, though, because delivery always comes super late for me. @[email protected]

Cid May 28th, 2019 6:59 PM

I have not. We barely know anything about the games yet. It'd be premature to pre-order, even if you can cancel your pre-order.

Starry Windy May 28th, 2019 9:01 PM

I haven't pre-ordered them yet, but I might buy them when the release date comes close.

emeraldgaming4 June 4th, 2019 6:54 PM

i normally wait until christmas to get the pokemon games tbh but if the release date is like early october (which it probably won't be) then I might. But if the amazon release date that says December 31st is true, then the game is gonna lose a LOT of christmas sales.

tokyodrift June 4th, 2019 7:23 PM

No, not yet. Just waiting on that one thing that makes me run out and do so.

December 31st was a placeholder until an actual release date was revealed. The Direct stated that the release date was going to be November 15.

i pre-ordered back in april since you don’t exactly have to pay until release date and can cancel whenever. pokemon on switch was always going to be a day one purchase for me unless they did a disastrous job of it which definitely doesn’t seem to be the case after today’s trailer!

Rivvon June 5th, 2019 11:21 AM

I'm probably going to get Sword now that we know what the legendaries look like but I'll still wait until we get more version-exclusive-info before making the preorder.

poke_sly June 5th, 2019 12:10 PM

Possibly closer to release date. I usually don't pre-order games, but if it's a game I'm definitely going to buy, I don't mind.

Imperator161 June 5th, 2019 4:33 PM

Not yet, but I probably will sometime in the next couple of months. I want to find out if the US version of the dual pack includes the steel book or anything else extra before deciding what to get, as I’ll probably get both games.

I also still need to figure out what the deal is with preordering stuff from Best Buy before my GCU runs out in August (I’m not clear on whether I’ll get 20% off so long as I order before it runs out, or if it only applies to games that come out before then). If I can get discounts so long as I preorder by the end of August, I’ll probably preorder everything I plan on buying for the rest of the year after E3.

I do generally preorder these days for the convenience and peace of mind, at least for franchises I know I’ll end up picking up regardless of reviews. That way, I don’t spend as much time obsessing over something I’ll ultimately end up buying anyway, leaving me with more time to either get work done or actually play games.

Eldegoss June 5th, 2019 5:34 PM

Pre-ordered both versions! The new trailer has shown enough to keep me happy in a new Pokemon game. All new features and Pokemon from here onwards will be great!

EmTheGhost June 5th, 2019 5:40 PM

No - I know I'm going to get it, but I never make a final decision on which version to get until I know what the version exclusives are.

Sheep July 29th, 2019 1:17 PM

Been a while since the last info reveal. Anyone preordered yet? Are there any people who went for the Sword & Shield Switch Lite?

Starlight July 29th, 2019 2:37 PM

Nope, no pre-order here, mainly because I still don't own a switch.

The lite does look like an awesome option though, especially that special edition!

Caite-chan July 29th, 2019 3:21 PM

I will but I've just been to lazy to just go do it...lol.

Fairy July 29th, 2019 4:31 PM

I keep meaning to but I just haven't gotten around to it :<

MargatroidCA July 30th, 2019 10:39 AM

Nope. I usually do (for Pokemon games), I'd still like to if possible, but I don't think I'm gonna be able to this time around. We'll just have to wait and see I guess.

jayvee July 31st, 2019 8:38 AM

I hope to pre-order it here soon in a month or so. I definitely want to be one of the first to play it on YouTube!
