Launched last night, October 11th from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. at Nintendo World in New York, Nintendo launched Pokémon X and Pokémon Y games. At the event, Pokémon fans will have the chance to play the games, participate in freeze dance and costume “contests”, meet and greet a Pikachu character, and be among the first people in the country to purchase Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. There was a line of enthusiasts (some of whom had been waiting for days to secure their place at the event and to get a copy of the games) up and down the street.
Pokémon X and Pokémon Y Launch Event in Rockefeller Plaza
On Oct. 12, Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, the newest installments in the world-famous series, are available in stores nationwide for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, including the new Nintendo 2DS system, which also launches on Oct. 12. In the games, players can discover new Pokémon, interact with them like never before, connect with Trainers around the world and explore an entirely new region that is brought to life with stunning new visuals.
My kids still love Pokemon, and we picked up X & Y last night!
Very adorable. My son was a huge Pokemon fan when he was younger.
looks like so much fun! we’ve not gotten into pokemon (yet) but i’m sure it’s in the future.
Wow it sure looks like you guys had a ton of fun.
Did you and your son like the Pokemon XY game and the 2DS?
Do you think that they are good for kids?
oh my that was a crazy nite looks like so much poke-madness.
The little guy is adorable
This looks like such a great event. Makes me wish I lived closer to NYC. Anywho, before I break down and buy the new game can you let me know your thoughts on the new Pokemon game and 2DS. Specifically, if it is engaging, entertaining, quality of graphics, and what age range would enjoy them best. Thanks so much.
