Attention everyone who reserved their Pokemon Black and White at your local Gamestop! I have very good news for you!! :D

This is something I never expected to see, but Gamestop is having midnight releases of Pokemon Black and White! Normally this is only something reserved for hardcore games. (Halo, Killzone, Call of Duty, etc.) While Pokemon is a widely played game, it is still steered towards younger audiences. Maybe this is a sign that Pokemon Black and White is going to do exceptionally well in America, with hardcore and casual gamers alike! <3

Whether this is completely regional or not, I do not know. I live in central Texas, and all the Gamestops in my area are participating in a Midnight release. I am very curious to know if the rest of America is doing so~

So, if you want to get your copy of Pokemon Black and White 10 hours before anyone else in America, you might wanna call down your neighborhood Gamestop! ;D

All phone numbers can be easily found by Googling the city and state you live in, plus "Gamestop".

So, drive, get a friend who can, or keep bugging your parents until they finally crack and bring you to the Midnight Release! :3 Heck, you could even meet some Pokemon fans in the area you never knew about! Maybe someone from PC! :D

EDIT: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=195443403813581&index=1 At participating locations. o3o

Please post if your Gamestop will or will not, where you live, and if you are going or not. :3

I'm really crossing my fingers that my Gamestop will be doing one. 9AM's cool and all, but I want this game ASAP. Like RIGHT NOW :D

EDIT: Just looked. Closest one to me that's opening at midnight is 2 states away.
Use this link: http://www.gamestop.com/gs/landing/events/pokemonmid/ to look it up if you don't want to call for whatever reason.

Makes me wish my brother and I had reserved White...wait...it's already midnight in the East Coast :D! You EC'ers are lucky :)
It's midnight, but on the wrong day. Doesn't come out until this time tomorrow.

Oh my gosh really? I'm going in my Touko cosplay too!

I don't mind mine not having a midnight release I don't suppose, I'm still having trouble deciding what I'll name my Snivy...so the extra time is appreciated.

The store near me is having a midnight release, but I won't be going for a few reasons.

For one, i'm sure it will mostly be children there, and two, it's not really worth it. At midnight i'll either be sleeping or playing Minecraft. I can wait until 10 tomorrow, no big deal.

What is going to a midnight release like anyways (for a game as big as pokemon)?
I mean it's like having to wait on Black Friday?
I mean no doubt I would do it (if the Gamestops' in my city were doing that); but would I enjoy myself?

The store I always go to and I reserved from is having a midnight release. I'm pondering if I should go then or not, and I'm leaning a little towards yes because hopefully there will be more of an adult crowd/older teen crowd since it's midnight and I know I can count on many younger kids and families there the next morning. ^^; But, I'm also sick so I might just wait until Sunday, either way it's not a big deal to me I'm just excited it's finally here!
