Liverpool is the only one close to me, but I'd have to go on my own and I've only been there a few times. I will definitely get lost if I go there.

Finally found some people as excited as I am! Anyway, I haven't been to one of these before, what are the numbers generally like? I am looking at camping outisde to be the first 50? or an hour before, just as it opens?

Advice would be appreciated! I shall see anyone who goes to the Liverpool one then probably! Unless I decide to go to the Hanley one, I'm thinking more people will be at the Liverpool one since it's a Sunday.

Advice appreciated

If I go, I might bring my camera along to take pics of the event if there's anything interesting (maybe one of the staff will have their face painted? XD)

Last time I went to one (and the very first time, the 10th anniversary) it as mainly loads of little kids...haha. I didn't know where to line up so I ended up cutting the queue (unintentionally) and didn't have to wait behind the 15 or so kiddies. I wouldn't have thought there would be *loads* of people, but you never know. I wouldn't have thought you'd have to wait ages outiside to have a chance of getting your giftbag, I suppose just turn up when the shop opens. But I don't know, when I went last time it was about midday.

I feel sorry for you guys having to travel for hours to get to one of the places. I guess I'm lucky then I don't need to go anywhere, it's only minutes away from me.

I've never been to an event before, are you guarenteed to get a Darkrai when you go? Like, do they have a limited amount or anything?
Well if you can't make it, I have a TRU Bold Darkrai, but you would need something good, as I'm not TOO interested in giving it up, but if you don't have one after these events pass, you could fork over something good and get a TRU Bold Darkrai! Offer unavailable in stores! :P

Hehe :) Thanks for the offer, I'm gonna beg my Mum for the next month and see what she says nearer the date. Lord knows I don't have the knack for getting really rare type Pokes that everyone wants but I'll keep that in mind :P

Just realized it's impossible for me to get it.

I can't go to Liverpool because I will be near Norwich on the 10th of August but I can't get it from Norwich because I'll be back before the 17th. Just my luck.

My dad said I can't go. Apparently it's a waste of time. *Cries with other who can't make it* Oh well at least my mate's got an Action Replay. I'll just hack an identical version of the one that the lucky guys get.

I can understand Japan getting everything early 'cos they invented it. It's the US we should be angry it. Without us they wouldn't exist so we deserve stuff before them.

That sure is unlucky. I live 3 hours away from the nearest one (roughly) which is Bromley :(. I will be lucky if my mum can be bothered to drive all that way, but it is for her as well since she has Diamond so I don't see why she couldn't.

Lucky you; I'm still contemplating if I'll be able to get anywhere near any of these locations, since none of them are anywhere near me... -.-;; I thought they'd have left it at Toys R Us, as they had it for the US release of Darkrai, but nope...

At a push, I might be able to get to the Chesterfield one, but that's probably a fleeting dream. XD
