With Pre-Orders for Pokemon X & Y cropping up on many sites now including Amazon, GAME, EBGames, PlayAsia etc. Have you or will you be pre-ordering them, or will you just pick up a copy in store when they're released?​

Most likely once I have my 3DS and when pre-orders are made available in the US. All depends if I can get the money on time.The only time I pre-ordered a Pokemon game was for Pokemon White when Gamestop were giving away the shiny legendary beasts. Didn't know I needed my DS and a Gen IV game so I missed out the chance to get a shiny Raikou, a Celebi and Zoroark for my game. >.<

Probably not....at the very least not yet.

Where I live I don't usually have to worry too much about games getting sold out....that said I might pre order a month or so before release.

i haven't had the problem of gamestop not having it yet but the last 2 times i got a new game, it was 1 day after release and i got the last one. now that i got my friend obsessed with pokemon by letting him play diamond, i gotta pre-order so he can't get the last one and leave me without gen 6.

Most likely I will not pre order it. Thus far the only game I've ever wanted and ended up being sold out was Pearl...though I'm glad as I later learned about Platinum which was to come out in 9 months after I tried to buy Pearl (I didn't enter gen 4 until quite late...) so I waited for the third version.

The only time I've preordered was when I imported and since the games come out worldwide in October as well as 3DS being region locked, no need for that. I've never preordered English copies so I probably won't do that. I may ask for people to preorder me a copy for my birthday though. My birthday is in August. Last year for B2W2, I just saved birthday money till their release, but still, it'd be nice if someone just bought them for me so I can use my money on other things idk. lol So maybe I'll actually preorder a game I can read for once!

Yep, I'm definitely pre-ordering both Pokémon X and Pokémon Y from EB Games here in Warrnambool, Australia. The games are so exciting and so amazing, since I saw the Pokémon Direct presentation. And even today... I'm still excited about the games, I wouldn't wait any longer to pre-order the games immediately. ^^

Either yes or no,
I don't really know,
I can afford just buying it right away but....
I don't have to go out and buy it if I Pre-ordered.
But I'm sure I can just go out and buy it.

I will not being pre ordering pokemon Y and X online or in the town/city because I don't need to as easily get it on release day or after that.

I will probably pre-order at least one, if not both. One of the two gamestops closed last year, putting more pressure on the other to have games in stock.
I just know that I want to have at least one on release day so I can begin a Let's Play now that Ive got a good setup for it.

Yeah I'm gunna pre-order. Not sure if I can really afford to get both at once, given how much the 3DS costs, but we'll see! I want to pre-order just for the bonus, to clarify ~
