I'm wondering if I should pre-order now or wait to see what other places offer as a pre-order bonus. Do Pokemon games usually have pre-order bonuses?
 
Thanks OP!  Picked up Y.  Wish we knew what differences (minor though they may be) existed between the two games but I thought Y's legendary looked cooler haha.

 
Newegg is getting to be like Tom Nook with always having me paying for something later.  Just got my last preorder from them and now they have another deal I want in on :(

 
I wanna preorder, but the shipping thing says that its ships after 10/31/2013 and its released on 10/12/2013
And you can't use Paypal to preorder them, so I'm out :(

10/31/2013 is a placeholder date. They will update it, but don't expect to receive it on release day.

 
Thanks OP! I preordered the X version. My brother is planning to purchase his own 3DS XL soon, so I'll have to have him get the Y version.
 
I should order this just in case, but I'm really hoping Josh comes through with an awesome TRU deal. Usually their Pokémon promotion is fantastic.

 
These games tend to hold value so likely won't see it sub $30 much.  Debating on X or Y...thinking Y because I like the "Miyazaki-Princess Mononoke" looking legendary.

Any advice on which one?

If this is the Pokemon you're wanting:

You'll want Pokemon X, not Y.

 
Cancelling pre-orders on Newegg is pretty straightforward like Amazon right? Don't see much harm in ordering now and cancelling if a better deal shows up elsewhere. Definitely want to play this Day 1, but I'll take the $6 savings and wait for them to ship if this ends up being the best deal on the table.

 
K Mart had B/W 2 for $5 off on release day. I know it sucks to go there, but I would rather wait for that deal (or one like it) so I can go get it on release. This is still some nice savings for those smart enough to not go to K-Mart, though! lol

Thanks OP. Preordered both till I find out which one has what! :bouncy:

Yea, cancelling is very easy on Newegg. I would just make sure you cancel a couple days ahead of release because some times they do ship before the release date hits.

 
Gave in and preordered both. Will cancel one of them when the time comes... It's still a coin flip on which one I will ultimately get.

 
Normally I'd consider this because Pokemon games typically don't go on sale, but Black & White 2 changed things ($15 at one point on Best Buy)

well I'm assuming there will be $15 in points for preordering these and $5 off the price would be good too. DK and AC for $29.99 with 15 back are some of the best release window deals

 
Everyone should know that if you buy this game digitally you can have 1 save file for every SD card you use with your 3DS... that's right my friends, we finally can have multiple save files for a Pokemon game! If saving 6 bucks is worth losing that option to you then don't mind me. :p

You raise a good point. On top of that, I'd be willing to wager whatever PokeSav equivalent that comes out for the game will utilize editing the game save on the SD card as opposed to the cartridge (at first, at the very least), so if that/competitive battling is your type of thing, it may be something you want to consider throwing the extra ~$10 in for.

 
Preordered both...........for now anyway. Thanks OP! Also warning to anyone who cancels a preorder at newegg: It does not give you any sort of warning before you cancel it, I accidentally cancelled my preorder for shin megami tensei IV because of that but luckily they had the deal again though.
