    This is an issue I have not thought of, it depresses me slightly...

    I'm on the closer end of 30, I thought the cartoon was good when I was a kid and had a lot of fun playing either blue or red. Can't remember. I don't even have a 3DS now (elaborated below), nor thought about Pokemon in years. I don't know, though, but the last couple of weeks I've been getting more in to the idea of getting a 3DS. Portable gaming would suit me better right now, and nostalgia for Pokemon is strong. Would be tempted to order off Amazon or something but I wouldn't be here by day during the week so wouldn't be here for the delivery. That pretty much leaves brick & mortar.

    So, it'll be out Saturday. Will be checking out the prices for a bundle, and also prices for a second hand 3DS + X or Y. Honestly, I don't know anyone who will be playing either. I saw people saying they were going to get both. That due to not having anyone to trade with so you'll get both? Funnily enough, this will not be the first 3DS game I'll own. Yes, I don't own a 3DS but I got a game for it. I knew I'd get one down the line, and the game I got was Tales of the Abyss 3DS. Tales games in particular, and JRPGs in general can be hard to get if you don't get them on release, historically speaking, so figured I'd buy it when I could and avoid potential troubles later.

    There's a lot more than Pokemon on the 3DS. Make sure you get the XL, it's totally different. Maybe you could get it delivered to work if you're worried?

    It'd be UCC. I'm a student. And yeah, I know, have a lot of games to catch up on. I got Tales of the Abyss 3DS in November 2011, it seems. I looked up when it was out. I've been planning on getting one for a long time, clearly :P

    I don't mind paying a bit extra to be honest. I'd just look at some games I have that I don't plan on playing any more and trade them in towards it which would bring the price down somewhat depending on what I'd trade. Course, if I think I'll play something again, I'll not want to, so who knows what it'd amount to.

    its saturday (see prev post from someone else about the effect Pokemon could have on Japan's economy if released on a week day), but if you ordered online and aren't sleeping with your postman you won't get weekend delivery. I guess you could send your butler out to buy it in a bricks and mortar shop if you're living in the analog past... but this is the world of tomorrow!

    I keep seeing shops in the UK and US breaking street date and selling the game early, even people who ordered online have gotten the game today or earlier. No hope of that happening here. :(

    Just to say, Gamestop are selling the games at an extra €5 markup. I personally wont be giving them the business and will pick it up in Smyths. They did this with GTAV too, which I cared less about because I knew it'd be extra hard to get and had already preordered, but marking up popular games because they know they're the last big game store is just a sh*t thing to do IMO, wont be long 'til they go the way of Game over here.

    Just got an email about the 2DS with Pokemon X or Y for 160. It isn't showing on the site, it's just showing the 2DS for 135.

    Sorry, that was misleading. Game's download manager site has codes, but you can't activate on eshop yet.

    There were concerns the game code would not arrive in timely manner, was hoping to allay them

    Ah, thanks for clearing it up.

    I'm so impatient, the last week has been harder than the months leading up to these games.

    Mark my words boardsies, I'll find a way to get X before Saturday!

    I'm going to go check out some places tomorrow. What do people recommend as far as 2DS or 3DS? Not being able to fit it in my pocket isn't a deal breaker to me, so I'm kinda leaning towards 2DS. With that 160 offer in Smyths... It's pretty tempting.

    HMV in Henry street didn't have them out behind the counter with the other games due to be released tomorrow(hope that makes sense).

    What's one more day though to wait for what maybe the best Pokemon game ever.

    Nothing. I'll have time to drop in and see if it's available, and if it is, why not get it tomorrow?
