Retailer released Pokemon Pearl and Diamond early |
Ó
With a few days to go before Pokemon Pearl makes it to the store shelves, we were beginning to imagine the first fans to be screaming with glee would be the fellows who pre-ordered their game. However, this doesn't seem to be the case for a member of the Destructoid forums, as he narrates what appears to be an "unofficial" early release of these games at a store in his locale.
Going into details on the incident, Attix states that he visited a Navy Exchange in Goose Creek, South Carolina, when he spotted a store displaying copies of both Pokemon Pearl and Pokemon Diamond on its shelves. He bought Pearl, and further proved that it was an authentic game by posting a picture at the forums. That would be the picture above, complete with and "In 'yo face!"-style caption to let the rest of the fans know they will still be waiting for their copy.
We're not sure what just happened here - did the store intentionally release the game early to win out against the competition, or did they (the store) honestly not know that the game wasn't to be released until next week (April 22, to be exact)? Whatever the case, we congratulate Attix for this gem of a find (no pun intended).

I am sorry but I do not care. I hate pokemon, ugh!
fucck wat u think pokemon all day
What a lucky bast*rd. I am seriously psyched for when the game comes out. I'm pretty sick of the anime and cards and especially the non-regular game crap, but must admit, I can't get enough of the classic style games.
Watch your language. You are crazy. GEEZ.
That's my opinion. That's just an opinions. You are really something. Please watch your language, ok ?
lucky bastard lol. hey at least sunday game fast enough. and for me i got a sox/yankees game to catch tomorrow so that'll take a good 4-5 hours out of the wait.
its a board, free speech. stop crying and relax. i was jus jokin but don tell me to watch my language
He should have dumped it....
Wow he must feel really cool. Gamestop employees got a hold of them as early as the 16th and I have been playing since yesterday... This kid really isn't special.
I got an early release as well. Hastings Entertainment, www.gohastings.com (where I work) had the release date as April 18th in there computers. Of course, they pulled all the products right away once the corporation email was sent. But not before 3 people, one being myself, was able to buy a copy. I bought Diamond.
when does it come out in us?
I preordered it and I haven't got it yet!
