    When does the eShop update? If it updates at 12:00AM EST then I'll download it off the eShop. If it doesn't then I'll just go to Walmart. It's open 24hrs. They should sell it to me.

    I'm glad I'm getting the eshop version at midnight. Ain't no way I'm going to wait two weeks on the mail to deliver me my physical copy. I'm fine with the digital version.. Plus I just upgraded my SD card to 16 gigs, so plenty of space!

    I decided to pre-order X so I have a physical cartridge in case my 3DS breaks and also you get a free Pokéball game stand thing with it so that's cool I guess! I kinda wish I'd decided on the download route so I'd be able to play it as soon as it's out rather than waiting for the delivery but I think the advantages of having a physical copy are worth it. Annoying have to wake up early for the post though!

    I'm too excited so I think I'll get Pokemon X from the eShop right at midnight. I may buy Y in cartridge form later on since I would like to have both.

    I am downloading mine from the e-shop at midnight so I don't have to wait. Sure, having a physical cartridge is much better, but my patience couldn't last any longer for delivery. I will probably end up getting the physical copy of the alternate version though if I enjoy my game like I am expecting to!

    This isn't a choice for me, I pre-ordered it. I just don't have the space on my SD card to download a game like Pokemon, and I don't want to buy another SD card.

    Personally, I prefer having a physical copy, though.

    Personally I will be getting one of them physical and one digital. If I could only have one I would go digital though BECAUSE pokemon Is the kind of game I want to have with me all the time in case a chance to trade or battle comes up and that way I won't have to keep the cartridge with me.
