Thread: Pokemon X & Y: Release Everywhere October 2013!

I think it will be awesome, since it gives the players who don't want to be spoiled a nice break from the norm while still being fun to keep up with.

That's true, especially with how many people can play through the games extremely fast. Still, I don't plane on spoiling everything.

It's going to be very weird for me since I've been playing Pokemon games first in Japanese ever since HGSS, haha. But this is great news, nonetheless.

It's one of those things where there's the prospect of completely not being spoiled this time around in a completely feasible way, but I still know I will be. I don't like playing for speed, so there're gonna be people reporting post league stuff by the time I'm at the third gym, even if we get the game on the same day. And that can be with me playing like over 10 hours a day. It'll all depend on what I'm up to next October, seeing as I have no idea where I'll be after graduation.

Great news for people who aren't gluttons for spoilers though.

It's gonna be great. I've never experienced going in blind, but I think it will be awesome. No more spoilers; just all of us exploding and spazzing at the sheer awesome at the same time.

Hi everyone! I'm new to the site and was told about this by Force Fire. I wonder if in Pokemon X you have to be a girl and if in Pokemon Y you have to be a boy? that would be interesting!

All I know is that there's no way I can avoid spoilers for 6 months.

A couple of days, though, is completely manageable.

It's hard to avoid spoilers for 9 months but it's much easier to avoid them with such a short localisation period.

Augh, this is amazing, I'm completely stoked about this. Finally, the rest of the world who typically gets the games doesn't have to wait months and months. However, I wonder how they're doing it this time... Maybe the other Nintendo companies have been sending teams with each language over to Japan to translate as they go?
