Nope. You can settle your bills earlier at 10PM onwards but you cannot pick up until midnight. I called four different stores to confirm.

Huh...I just called my Gamestop when I saw the link, and they said, "Lines will probably start at 8pm, and doors open back up at 10pm. We'll be selling the games then".

You lucky duck. Here's what I see on the link posted:

Things To Know, Before You Go so you can "catch them all"​

• Our doors will open 10pm in most locations, but check with your local store for opening times. This title will be available for pick-up at Midnight.
• Between 10pm and midnight is when we finalize your transaction. You will need to go to the register to receive your finalized purchase receipt. Finalizing the transaction is where we take your deposit, partial or full, and create a sale receipt.
• Don't forget to bring your trade-ins to take advantage of our great trade specials to reduce the price of your game. Everybody likes to save money!
• You don't have to arrive at 10pm. You can show up anytime between 10pm and midnight. However, by coming early, you can get your trade-ins and transaction processed sooner.
• We would love to hear from you about your experience. So, follow the instructions on your sales receipt to let us know how the midnight launch was at your local GameStop.

Pokemon X & Y will be available for pick-up at 12:01am on 10/12! Stores will remain open until 12:30am on 10/12 to assist customers.

Maybe the battle servers aren't online yet?

Makes sense....

I can't wait to see walkthroughs by TheJwittz, Munchingorange, and NintendoFanFTW and see their reactions~

Hahaha, I find myself doing the same. As soon as it says "sent (or more like Versandt, since it's German)", I'm gonna be happy.

Ya turned out I had to click a more options button and close the petition. should be deleted within the next day or so.

[Ra1d]

That was expected,I was surprised they were up for so long.

 

[nexuspunk]

and here i was going to enjoy that v.v well i guess nintendo just wants to bitch about something.

 

[jonesman99]

I'm all for a good leak, but people are just stupid and hurr durr going about it. Like why would you post a walk through for a game that has yet to come out in most markets on YouTube of all places? And seeing as they are a user, they should know how often Nintendo frequents that site.

 

[Sonia]

Haha! Gamestop preorders, FOR THE WIN.

Certain locations will be releasing on Friday, at 10PM. Here's a link to see if your location will be a part of it.

Lucky bastards near ST. Louis will get midnight releases. D< I'm gonna go riot.

 

[Anfroid]

Because people don't do Wi-Fi battles just like that. They need to EV/IV Train, breed, etc first. It would be dumb to go on a battle with a crap team.

And in this game people can't use PokeSav/PokeGen so it will take a while before YouTube start to get filled with Pokemon Battles.

Thats why people wanted to transfer their teams from previous games since day 1.

Nah, fuck EV/IV and that shit, I'll battle online from time to time between gym leaders and the occasional battles with a friend.
