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

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.

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

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...)

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]

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.

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

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.
I love to try out Fan Games and ROM Hacks and follow lots of them through this platform.

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.

Forms change and pass; bodies disappear; but spirits linger, to consecrate ground for the vision-place of souls… generations that know us not and that we know not of, heart-drawn to see where and by whom great things were suffered and done for them, shall come to this deathless field, to ponder and dream; and lo! the shadow of a mighty presence shall wrap them in its bosom, and the power of the vision pass into their souls.”

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

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.
