  • I'm not reserving it, since I never reserve games.
    There are three stores in the same plaza that should have it, so I don't think I will have any problems finding a copy.

    I haven't yet, but I might. What I was planning to do was save my birthday money (my birthday is on March 20) and give it to my mom when I go to my dad's so she can buy Platinum for me, and then I can go pick it up sometime.

    EDIT: It's official, I'm not pre-ordering Platinum. I wanted to, and I begged my mom, but all she said were things like, "The economy is horrible now. No one's out buying games." and, "I don't want to give them my credit card number!" If she only knew how many people are waiting to get this game. Also, I don't see how she doesn't trust Best Buy with her credit card number. I mean, come on, identity theft is common, but you have to trust some people, and Best Buy is a very professional company.

    EDIT 2: My sister to the rescue! She was wondering what I wanted for my birthday, and I told her that I would love for her to reserve Platinum for me. So we went to Best Buy, and they were all sold out of pre-order slips. Then we went to another Best Buy. We asked someone where we could pre-order the game and they said that we might not be able to because the pre-order date might be up. She then called someone else down, and while he was searching the computer, I found the slips to reserve Platinum. My sister did as it said, but I'm really not sure what happened because there was just too many people saying too many things. All I know is that we can come pick up the game anytime before April 5. I'm not even sure if I'm going to get the Girantina figure, but I really hope I do. ;P

  • I reserved it a week ago when I went shopping for my cousin at toys r us. Met the awesomest cashier there too- dude was a huge pokemon fan, and we had a fairly long chat. Goes to show that there are still awesome people where I live. :shocked:

    Yeah, I reserved it a week ago. I reserved one for me and my brother (he's paying for his own), right along with my DSi. We been playing the game since the Red and Blue days, and we love battling online in clans and stuff. So it's gonna be awesome! We are already planning our wifi teams for it.

    It's in high demand where I am. At the Toys R Us today, I went to download Regigigas, and the Pokemon Platinum preorder rack was cleared out of the preorder boxes, they were also out of stickers and posters.

    I'm not sure if I'm even going to get it, so I choose not to reserve it.
    Even if I was getting it, I want to make sure I know what I'm doing, unlike last time D:

  • I reserved it a while back. I'm not too worried about being able to pick it up, reserve or not, but I did want to make sure the store got enough reserves so they'd send a decent number of the figures (and of course because I actually do want the game).

  • I hate to be a jerk but I'm already playing the English one. So no way im reserving it.

    I hate to be a bigger jerk, but a lot of people have played it. Its called Downloading it, and putting the "English Patch" in it.

    I pre-ordered in on ebgames.com and set it for me to pick it up in the store right next to my house. Hopefully I will get the figure.

  • Hmm

    Hmm, I'd prefer not to buy It. Because whats so great about a few extra features.
    You know whats going to happen, mainly because of all the magazines, and Serebii..
    Stuff like that.

    But I don't see the point In buying somthing to experiance a different ending.
    Until Im proved wrong, please correct me.

    Here's a list of Emerald's changes, and here's a list of Platinum's changes. When comparing the two, there's no contest which is better when it comes to the amount of changes made. It's obvious they did much more to make Platinum different than they have in previous sister games.
