6th Gen Gotten them on release day?

[Kikaito plush]

I got my copy of Pokemon X on release day but had wait until after 12pm to get it.

 

[Leviathan]

I had great intentions of doing so. Then it all kinda fell through. Didn't fail to miss a beat when it came to OR/AS though. Nabbed both of those on launch, and the guidebook to book. Made extra special since I vividly remember strolling into Game to collect my preordered Ruby copy over a decade ago.

I actually got X/Y about six months after they were released. That's when I was able to get a 3DS and really got back into Pokemon.

 

[Zachella-chan]

I just bought my copy of Y at the closest place possible on release. I didn't bother preordering but I got pretty lucky since it was actually the last copy.

 

[Sylphiel]

Considering that I only just got my copy of X like...last month or so, I definitely didn't get mine anywhere near release day. c: Although even if I had wanted to buy it on release I couldn't, I didn't have a 3ds of any kind until this past December. Yeah I know, I'm kind of far behind on things.

 

[Wicked3DS]

I preordered X at GameStop, so yeah I got it on release day. I was pretty excited for it as well.

 

[εcho.]

I went to the store and bought X on the day of release, then picked up Y on boxing day a few months later.

I bought my copy of X on release day in the early morning, even better that it was on a weekend. I went onto buy Y the following weekend. 8]

I went to the midnight release and bought Pokemon X that night. Surprisingly, there were a lot of people there, way more than I expected. I stayed up most of that night playing it because it was so fun.

 

[Aeroblast]

got them in mid december the year it came out.

 

[Sensei_Soriel]

I got both on release day at the same time (preordered both games) and I had no wait time to play the games.

 

[Firox]

Got both of my original games on Release Day - both arrived on the same package, had them on pre-order.

 

[Bounsweet]

I haven't missed a release day launch for a Pokémon game (main series games lol) since Diamond and Pearl came out, when I got Pearl on April 22, 2007. I've since pre-ordered and bought all of the new games on their release date, except I don't usually buy both of a game at the same time. Like, I got Pearl, Platinum, SoulSilver, White, White 2, and X, but their partner games (Black, Black 2, Y, etc) I either got months later, or haven't gotten them at all yet :x

 

[Umbreon92]

Just got Y the other day with Omega Ruby. Have 6 weeks off of work due to injury so I am just starting.

 

[RedJ]

I bought a physical copy of Y yesterday, but I downloaded X at midnight on release day to save myself a walk and because I still had the $30 from the Fire Emblem Awakening + Shin Megami Tensei IV promotion and had nothing else to use it on.

 

[Dreg]

I didn't get them until 2 months later. I didn't have a 3DS at the time... I only got a 3DS in christmas 2013.

 

[EeveeEvolutionTrainer]

Nope, had to go get a copy of X a few days after.

 

[SparklingMistral]

I got Y after midnight on launch day. I ended up switching my preorder to a different GameStop so that I could go to a midnight launch for the game. That was pretty interesting. ;3 It was nice to be able to be around other Pokemon fans, haha.

 

[Aether]

I got it at the midnight release, which was really fun. It was a fairly long line, but manageable unlike, apparently, the GTA5 midnight release the month before. You could tell it was a small collective of dedicated fans. There were even a couple of kids too, which surprised me considering I don't know how I would've convinced my parents to take me to a midnight release of a video game at the age of 8.

 

[PlatinumDude]

I picked up X on release day and got Y a few months later.
