Depending on your country, select major retailers may be having major midnight releases.
As for the Nintendo store- I think the eshop should be updated at 3am at the very latest to allow purchase/verification of the game- unless heavy traffic delays it.

Thanks for replying
By saying that 3 am, doesnt it depend on where I live in?

It might. Depends on what eshop your region is linked too?

I don't see us going to Sinnoh in SM Post Game since I see those being possible remakes this gen. Kalos on the other hand I could see us going to since there are some unanswered questions from XY plot that would probably have been in the scrapped Z game that they could move into the SM Post Game considering we have some links already what with Zygarde, the strange souvenir, and the Sundial which supposedly has a counterpart Moondial.

Imagine in a super-intense plot twist we're shipped off to Unova or something.

Jk.

Besides, when it was done in gen 2, Kanto still felt like a new adventure, so it can definitely be done in a fun way.

I disagree here. Kanto in Gen 2 seemed like a gutted mess, so much was removed (Veridian Forest, Safari Zone, the freaking Pokemon Tower) that it actually seemed to me that Kanto had undergone a bad recession and was in a state of decay.
There was nothing to do there anymore than to rematch the gym leaders and like two little story scenes, nothing new to explore, nothing. Irrc in Gold/Silver the Trainer card didn't even keep track of which Kanto Badges you had collected.

I have to agree here, GSC and HGSS Kanto was a complete barebone mess that failed to really achieve anything that the previous version did.

I cannot describe how much I want the new starter plushies. They look great, darnit.

Hope to have a Litten plushie to be my mascot at work soon.

Sadly, it doesn't seem to be available yet. The release date looks like it will be at the end of December, and even then, that specific plush is exclusive to Japan.

That said, Banpresto is now making licensed PokePlushes, and those will start releasing when the games drop. They too are cute (though they are also Japan exclusive, but should [hopefully] be easy to import)

Those plushies are so adorable ^^. If I'm able to go to fanime next year I will probably get some =)

Sinnoh remakes will probably happen on Switch with Gen 8, Gen 7 is following the pattern of Gen 5, but imo Sinnoh doesn't need a remake I feel Gen 4 holds up pretty well.

You missed out. Platinum is still my favorite pokemon game. SO much better than diamond and pearl. Can't wait. Only 2 more weeks ^^

Copy arrived gonna properly start playing it later tonight unsure whether to Nuzlocke it or not. Also had to bust out my old tattered DSi cuz DS games on the 3ds look super blurry for some reason.

My only plushies so far are Gardevoir, Gengar and Goodra. All three of them are 12". So adorable!

Gen 4 will feel out dated by gen 8, like how gen 3 felt outdated with gen 6.
