Im going to gamestop today to reserve both black and white. Is anyone else preordering this early? How much are you putting down?

I am putting the minimum requirement down and paying them off each week or so. I am also going to buy the guide WITH the game. When that is paid off I am putting down for a third one, either white or black for my friends 21st birthday. I didnt buy three for heart gold and soul silver and it made me very sad to know I dont own heart gold.

As i am paying off the games $10 a week, i am saving to buy gold, crystal, heartgold, fire red, leaf green, ruby and emerald. I guess after that i should look for japanese red and blue My pokemon collection must be complete no?

anyways im out to go preorder


You know what? This isn't about your feelings. A human life, with all its joys and all its pains, adding up over the course of decades, is worth far more than your brain's feelings of comfort or discomfort with a plan. Does computing the expected utility feel too cold-blooded for your taste? Well, that feeling isn't even a feather in the scales, when a life is at stake. Just shut up and multiply.

I'll consider it if it's really worth it. I got so mad when I realized wal-mart had a hg/ss bundle that came with the figurine and even a pokewalker skin and I got up at the crack of dawn to go get my copy of ss from gamestop, and just a few days before I heard about the bundle I bought a copy of hg. After that I'm going to be more cautious about how I approach buying the games.

Maybe we'll get Reshiram or Zekrom figurines. Or maybe special styluses.

I'm not reserving Black/White yet. Reserving a game tends to make me even more excited about a game than I want to be.

Then again, I may not even buy Black/White. I think I might wait for Gray, or Clear or whatever to come out and buy that.

Where I live there arnt really anyone waiting in line. So im like the ONLY one there when it opens and everyone looks at me weird.

0.0 I think i was the first in my area to preorder.

Either way i preordered the pokedex 3, both games and eventually i will preorder one or two more of the games and the guide

I have months so i pay off as i go, ya know $5 a game a week. It pays off slowly but i still get it all paid off by the time i am done.

I just need to decide who gets my extras....

I just bought SS then the HG Bundle...

I don't think I can preorder this early... Plus I live in NC no one else around will really get it I don't have to worry about them running out... I'll preorder if it comes with an event I guess haha or something cool like a discount on the guide (never got the guide for HGSS xD)

Pre-ordered mine the other day. The guy that works there knows I love Pokemon and made sure to tell me they could be pre-ordered. :P

I just put down the minimum $5. I'm sure we'll be seeing figurines with pre-orders, or something else at least.

Like I did with HeartGold and SoulSilver altogether, I'll pre-order both Black and White a month prior to its release date. I don't see the need to rush and pre-order this early when it's anticipated for a Spring 2011 release here in the US.

honestly i'm not worried about preordering. The stuff you get with it is cheapy crap anyway. What I care about are the events that happen on a release day. I know there'll be an event pokemon or item given away on the release, so thats why I really want to get it the day of.
I do calculate IVs and EVs. I do breed my Pokemon for natures and movesets. My pokemon ARE mindless drones, who just so happen to destroy your beloved Pikachu. They're data, and its a game, get over it.

I can't pre order yet. So instead I'm going to save and buy soul silver and Platinum. But once I can pre order, I will be, for both of them.... or maybe just one and then buy the other one another time. But yes, I will reserve. I'm hoping I might also get a cool freebie too, like how HG/SS had the figurines

I am just going to wait until the day of release.

That way I can go and buy both games, the guide, and the new pokedex book all at once.
