This is totally 100% fake. I don't even think there will be be 20 mega evolution, 50 is too much. Plus there video out there that proves otherwise. Did Pokemon actually posted that or was it some other account with the name Pokemon? (IDK much about tumblr).

Lol CEO of Gamefreak? Some site would've contact them by now if this had even the slightest chance of being legit.
 
has anyone actually heard of a gamestop that is doing a midnight release? location doesn't matter; i was just wondering in general.

i'm heavily debating on whether to go to nintendo world on friday or just go to gamestop on saturday morning (they are only opening one hour early at like 9 am), or both to go to both and buy both versions. the sad thing is that i'm stuck with evening classes on fridays so i can't camp out; in fact, by the time my classes end and i head over to rockefeller plaza, it'll be 8 pm when the event starts so i'll be at the very back of the line compared to people who lined up early lol.
 
Thoughts on this pokemon team?:

Chesnaught
Talonflame
Meowstic F
Sylveon or Slurpuff
Aurorus
Goodra?

Well do you have time to preorder the game at Nintendo World? If you don't mind waiting on line well that's what I'd do. I'm camping out but buying it digitally.

But just call Gamestop. I assume they are going to be open at midnight it's Pok?mon after all. It's as big as GTA V.

Yeah, over here there will be selected Gamestops that will hold a midnight release.
I would go if the Gamestop I selected was chosen for the event.

but gamestop has individual stores it's not like some small one in a shopping center is going to open up at midnight for a minuscule number of people living in an area that also happens to be in the same city as nintendo world. and of course i called gamestop; that's how i got the fact that the store in question is opening at 9,.. i was also at nintendo world last saturday for the fan gathering and an employee told me there's no question that there's enough copies to last through the ~21 hours that they're going to be open. nintendo world doesn't do preordering and regardless it won't change the fact that it'll be crowded which will be a longer wait than i have done in the past for stuff like acnl which is kind of irritating.
 
I'm sure some Gamestop will be doing a midnight release but it all boils down to the manager/district manager. The one I frequent had over 300~ reserves on just Pokemon X alone, but due to the fact its on a military base and most of the pre-orders belong to active duty soldiers they can't do one due the base commander's orders.

You're from NYC you have dozens of Gamestops to choose from really. Ask around I know the two in my area will be open.

Nintendo World doesn't do preordering?

i dont think you guys understand the importance of this post. i've been trying for like ages to picka perfect team but there are SO LITTLE TO CHOOSE FROMA SDFUPASDGHPIAUSDGNPAOGNIJAP{OSDGHIJ
 
If you're in NYC the better question is why wouldn't you stand in line at Nintendo World. ಠ_ಠ Don't they usually have special guests and all day events for these releases?

Not necessarily but Reggie did come for an event after Animal Crossing came out and Shigeru Miyamoto visited for the Mario 25th anniversary. Come to think of it the 20th there will a Zelda Symphony thing happening.

But there's still events! :( The biggest event at Gamestop is getting Torchic and the StreetPassing of excited Pokemon fans.

@Hamu: Ignoring it because I'm trying to remain clean.
 
If that's the full list, I'm kind of disappointed that Heliolisk is the final evolution.

I would honestly be quite surprised if your Gamestop (or another one near you) isn't doing a midnight release event. I live out in the boondocks and even my Gamestop is doing a midnight release. I've been to a few of Gamestop's midnight releases, and they're absolute chaos so I don't plan on camping out at mine. I'm going to show up 30 minutes, maybe an hour, in advance just so I'm not in the very back of the line and then cutting out as soon as I get my hands on my copy. They usually try to shoe people out as fast as possible anyway because the employees only have to stay as late as it takes to get everyone in and out. But yeah, I second what the people who have said check other Gamestops in your area. Even if there's a Nintendo World (which I've never heard of, btw) in your city, I'm sure there's got to be at least one Gamestop doing a midnight release.
 
Here is my team for Y:
