Hang tight, Europeans! At least take some solace in the fact that a few gens ago we all waited months and you waited extra months!

I'm in Australia so I'd get it before most. Alas, the store near me opens at 8am (no midnight release), and I also have work. But when that's over... >:]

...You really had to bring that up, didn't you? Joking

On another note, when is the official release date of the Solgaleo/Lunala New 3DS XL? Because one retailer in my country seems to have started selling it today.

I am really pissed off now. Amazon sent me an email saying i needed to revise my payment method for sun and moon which I think was because I didn't have enough money so I canceled it and transfered some money and ordered them again and now it says they won't come until the 22nd DX if it doesn't change I guess I'll get them at gamestop );

I believe the should be out already. I know here in America they got released on the 28th of October.

Also did anyone watch the gamexplain review for the games? While mostly positive one thing that's worrying me is that older models of the 3ds have slow down issues while during certain battles. Apparently they're pretty noticable too. I'm hoping I don't find it as bad as they said it is because I only have a regular 3dsxl.

It seems to only happen during Double Battles and during certain Z-moves.

I saw a video of the frame differences in the demo, and some of the stuff featured never actually happened to me while playing. I think it's unnoticeable unless you're used to the modern framerate and then switch to the old one. I don't think it'll be too much of an issue ;)

It's been different everywhere. Seems like the general consensus is that places getting the games Friday got it Monday; I'm from England also and had one pre-ordered for delivery on release day by Amazon. It's saying the 18th (Friday) .______.

RIP us Europeans.

My preload says 2 days until official release but the number of days changes in seven more minutes and in my country (Dominican Republic) the time is about 19:53, at 20:00 it will change, the actual date is Wed 16 - 2016, can anyone explain this?.

It kinda makes me feel nostalgic, seeing that the first trailer was 6 months ago. Albeit, I refuse to redo this hype.

I don't know. Apparently, Nintendo doesn't make a lot of copies when it comes to games. Pre-ordering it seems best.

I learned my lesson with Fire Emblem Fates...

Well, in all fairness, Fire Emblem's popularity is much smaller than Pokémon's.

I'm sure they stocked enough.

It's pokemon, launching a week before black friday

I have never seen a main line pokemon game be hard to find. It's certainly not going to start now.

Makes sense. Though it seems to be really popular, and is breaking records (apparently).
If it wasn't a problem before, then I guess you have little to worry about, though, there's still something to worry about with it being so popular.

Friday can't come quick enough!

Friendly reminder that anyone worried about getting the game in stores or having it shipped on time can always download off the eShop and have it pre-loaded onto the system.

As I was running some calculations the only way my preload could be counting that number of days is if it is using London time, weird, your Australian preload should be unlocking in twelve more hours according to the actual time there, have you took note of the hour of the day the number of days changes?

Also I must add that date and time here is 20:42 Wed - 16 -2016 I live in Dominican Republic, BUT the 3ds region is set to US New Jersey.
