Getting paid at the weekend and all so will be straight down to game on the 4th to get the DSi bundle. Was going to wait and get a 3DS instead but I can wait until my birthday in May to get that

Good call. I'd say it'll take them a while to work the kinks out of the 3DS anyway.

cloud493 · 25-02-2011 09:39PM

Only a week

I've decided to wait for the 3DS as well, not good for my eyes.

GTR63 · 26-02-2011 04:29AM

Anyone know if there is a Walkthrough Guide coming out for this.Really love those. I'd get the DSi bundle if it was a DSiXL but the DSi ain't a large step up from my DS lite.

looking_around · 26-02-2011 05:09AM

yep, it would seem so.

What are the odds Amazon will push their dispatch date forward...? As it is, my copy of White is only being dispatched on the 3rd, with an ETA of the 7th-9th

Buzzthebatgirl · 26-02-2011 08:58AM

The Strategy Dex version (aka Volume 2) is due out in May. You can already preorder it on Amazon.

SamIAmNot · 26-02-2011 10:35PM

I'll probably end up getting both volumes, or at least volume one. I really can't wait now, only:

5 days
11 hours
23 minutes

WhiskeyGoblin · 27-02-2011 02:56AM

Kinda worried bout not getting it, if i order online.. I think i shall go into game or somewhere on launch

A Neurotic · 27-02-2011 03:38PM

I'm completely ignorant of all these fancy new consoles, will my trusty classic DS do the job for Black/White?

Do the Strategy Dex's tell you what level they learn moves at & that.Never seen one in the shops.

Mr.Nice Guy · 28-02-2011 02:08AM

I've been waiting seemingly ages for a new generation Pokemon game. I'll definitely look to pick this up. I've been trying to work out the major differences with the two games though. Am I right in thinking the major differences are the legendary Pokemon that appear and that Black has a futuristic type city whereas in White the city is some sort of wooden forest type area?

Angron · 28-02-2011 11:31AM

Pretty much. I think this is the first game to actually have the two versions get seperate areas (Black City and White Forest). Most differences are just the version exclusives, seen here. (Potentially a spoiler I guess)

A Neurotic · 28-02-2011 06:28PM

Also, I think I saw something about one game having rotation battles where the other has triple? Is that true? Which is better?

Yup, Black primarily features the rotationals, whereas White features triples.

Personally, I hate the rotational battles. Too much guesswork involved as to whether your opponent will move or not and then trying to match up accordingly. It's a gimmick they should have left in games such as MvC3...

wobbles · 28-02-2011 07:37PM

Where are ye getting your copies. Still havnt decided which one im getting yet

Angron · 28-02-2011 07:52PM

Don't have a clue, I should really look into getting a working DS too..

SamIAmNot · 28-02-2011 08:17PM

I've had a little look around and Gamestop and HMV are same prices. I saw the ad for the games earlier on Nickleoden. It's the only one I've seen for the games. So who's getting which version? I'm going to get White.

3 days
13 hours
39 Minutes

Atavan-Halen · 28-02-2011 08:21PM

Black pour moi! If I can't pick up the DSi bundle then I'll just be getting it wherever's cheapest.

WhiskeyGoblin · 28-02-2011 10:25PM

Whats the story with that Pokémon thats on promotion. Some little rat thing, how do you get one of those?
Also, checked GAME, Gamestop, and HMV today most priced between 35-40 but had no definite price, if i had cash, i'd buy that DSi Bundle, anyone know how much i'd get off it for a DSLite?

Buzzthebatgirl · 28-02-2011 10:42PM

I'll be getting White in Oxford Street Game, just ordered it today. Still trying to get interested people for a camp out, but the closest I've gotten is a 6am meet up outside the shop with two guys I met at the Celebi event yesterday in Hamley's. Better than nothing I guess

Banjo · 28-02-2011 11:36PM

White from Amazon, not in a mad rush to get started so the shipping delay is not a problem. The "rat thing" may be Victini, the squirrel of victory (Fire / Electric I think) - you get a ticket, hop on a boat when you get to the Manhatten-esque town and beat some dudes up till they let you fight and catch it. If memory serves it's relatively low-level so if you can get as far as facing it, you can catch it.

My Brother got offered €45 Store Voucher for his DS Lite last week.Don't go trading it in for that price.

What's the shipping delay in Ireland? In the UK you opt to pay an extra £3 and it's 99% guaranteed to arrive on launch. You could still make the Launch Party...

Only being dispatched on the 3rd, for an ETA of the 8th-9th.

Standard shipping (3-4 days) = £6.03
Priority shipping (1-2 days) = £24.18

Yea, no thanks.

AndyKiely · 01-03-2011 04:11PM

I don't know where I'll buy it. I'll be getting White though. No reason, this has to be the first time ever though I know nothing about the game coming out. I have no idea about the starters, the region or the characters.

It's going to be a different experience for me and one I'm looking forward to.

I can't imagine that it would require a pre order? I would think that those days would be gone the way of Gold/Silver?

Can't wait for it though. It's been marked in my calendar since the new about the release date! Feel like I'm 10 again
