If you'll excuse me i'm gonna go sit in the corner because TRU screwed me over at the very last second and now i'm worried i won't find a copy anywhere else...

Sooo much nostalgia! The game even starts with the player looking at a screen if the GBA Birch introduction and wild encounters have the R/S transition effect before going into 3D. Awesome!

But now I have to soft-reset for a Female Mudkip. Progression halted.

That's so meta.

So now that cnotests are a thing again, are we going to be doing competetive contesting?

If they have online contests i can see that happening.

I mean they had multiplayer contests in the other games right?

Anyone wanting to see a complete walkthrough before tomorrow, here's giancarloparimango11's complete Alpha Sapphire Livestream, HYPE TRAIN!!! :D

Notice to UK Players; you are able to change your eShop to Australia and buy it now if you don't mind getting it from the eShop.

I'm watching the Pokemon movies i own.
I started with 4ever since that ones the most dull of the Pokemon movies i own.
Honestly all i can think of while watching this is Linkara and Jesuotaku's review of it.

I still can't decide who to start with. >_<

Who is everyone going with? I plan to go with Treecko.

Treeeko as well. Its my favorite of the hoen starters. Also plan on using only gen 3 pokemon.

I can't imagine playing through Hoenn without my old buddy Torchic.

I'm going with Treeko in AS & Mudkip in OR. I'm choosing my starters in terms of tactics to help me deal with the title legendaries in each game, Swampert will have an advantage against regular & primal for Groudon & Sceptile will have an advantage against both regular & primal form Kyogre, this is regardless of the fact I started with Torchic in Sapphire.

Don't we want to not kill the legionaries?

I don't have work or any assignments so I'll be going out at midnight to get my copies from Walmart. Should be different, as I'm usually an early to bed early to rise kind of person.

Wish I could do that but I have class in the morning and its just more convenient to go after class anyway.

I've never started with a Mudkip.
But I don't like Swampert.
So I'll go with Treeko, since Pokemon threw a Torchic at me at the start of X.

You are tearing me appart ORAS!
I REALLY hope there's a store anywhere here that has it.

...And i JUST found out that they're having a midnight launch for these games tonight...

Certainly they'll have extra copies. I went to the midnight launch of X and Y and they had tons of copies even after pre orders were given out.

Yeah but midnight launches are for those who preordered the games, i don't think they let people buy them unless they pre ordered them.

I can't speak for other stores but Walmart will sell their copies at midnight pre ordered or not. My friend got his copies of X and Y at the midnight launch without pre ordering. It may vary by store though so don't quote me on that, just giving my own experience.

What was that?

My bad, wording was off xD

Okay looking into this in more detail it's really freaking dumb.
Apparently a lot of TRU sent the emails out, some of them got shipments of OR and others got shipments of AS but not both and some of them didn't get shipments at all, hell some never got shipments of Smash Wii U from what i see.

Is yours at least getting one of the two to hold you off until you can get both?

I can't call to make sure because my cell phonels out of battery and i can't find the charger anywhere. :(

Use the home phone then? Does anyone even has those anymore?

Bummer, hope you can work it out with TRU and still get the plush.

My grandmother took it out a while ago when she decided to get a cell phone.

Just got a text from Gamestop a few hours ago informing me that my OR & AS game copies will be ready for pickup tomorrow morning.

Breeding some bold Swablu with roost and hyper voice.

And on my end i never got my email from TRU... *sigh* Excuse me i'm gonna go eat ice cream or something.

This is why I stick with Gamestop, it's cause my main focus is getting the games, IDFC bout some pointless pre-order bonus that if it's a figure or a plushie, will probably be nothing more than a dust collector. Also, when I say stick with Gamestop, I mean in store pre-orders.

Depending on the Walmart, many are open 24 hours regardless, so you don't actually need a special event to get your game at midnight. :p

I was hoping to pick up my copy from GameStop at the midnight launch they're having, but that looks to not be happening. Will have to hit it during normal hours instead. Game's already paid off too.

I will now play you the song of my people.

In the same boat as you. The weird thing is, last year, my Gamestop was opened at like, 6 in the morning on October 12th, but they aren't doing it for OR&AS. That makes NO sense to me for some reason O_O.

Should I crossplay ΩRuby?

Yeah. You should totally be the game box

So i'm managed to find a copy of AS! Hurray! My brothers mad that he couldn't find a copy of OR though... I told him i'd buy one for him if he couldn't find it first.

Anyway, the fact that this game starts with Birch telling you the opening monologue with gen 3 sprites is an epic throwback. I started with May and Torchic (Of course!) And currently i'm trying to find a Ralts.
...Jesus Brendan is derpy in this game.
