Game certainly released a day earlier but only for those that had pre-ordered. I remember checking their FB page for the announcement before rushing to the shop to pick my copy of Y up. They weren't selling it to anyone though; strictly for those that had pre-ordered to reduce queues the following day. I remember having quite the chat with the guy that served me who explained that Nintendo had given them permission to sell the games early.
I remember walking into HMV on my way home from Uni and being surprised that they were selling it, I was really pleased with myself until I got online and realised that everyone else had it early too! I even got the Metro instead of walking home that day because I was so eager to play. I went home and played it for 13 hours straight.

I'm gutted about S/M; I can't collect them until 8am on Wednesday (Game are opening early ) but then I have to get the bus to work and I won't be home until gone 9pm. I might have to take my DS to work with me so that I can start my adventure but I'd rather try and wait until I get home so that I can really enjoy it.

Yes my local Game is also doing a midnight release, i've never been to one before. Can I just show up at midnight and join a queue, or do I need to be there earlier?

Edit: and do I need to pre-order to get a copy?

Have played it for roughly 6 hours so far. Have to say, I'm not that far into the story yet, but I'm enjoying it so much! Not having to battle gyms makes such a difference. The trials are fun (I've only done one so far) and I'm just loving exploring the place.

My team so far is:

Dartrix level 20
Butterfree level 15
Yungoos level 15
Slowpoke level 15
Munchlax level 14
Magnemite level 15

Nearly 30 hours in and the only disappointment I can say that I have with the game is the lack of clothing variety. Pretty much all the same just with different colours and designs.

Still, the game is amazing.

Initial impressions are well...wow, it's superb.

Feels completely fresh and loving the tropical setting.

Just reached the third Island. 'Tis good, not sure if I prefer it to X&Y and ORAS yet, but it certainly looks nicer outside of battles and some of the new 'Mons aren't as bad looking as I thought, some good designs actually.

I am going to try not using old Pokemon but sometimes you need a filler for the team.

I got Cyndaquil the same way today also
I have to admit, I got a bit bored earlier (and I only bought the game yesterday). Then I discovered the Wonder Trade this afternoon lol. To any who don't know, you choose a pokemon to trade and you get one back from another trainer playing in the world doing the same thing. You have no choice in what you receive. Anyway, I managed to get a Rowlett (I started with Litten, so this is great), an Eevee, Magikarp, Salandit and Rockruff. Keep in mind I've not left the first island yet, so I thought this was a pretty good one-hour haul from getting rid of the pokemon I don't want (Meowth).

Spent the first week getting owned by everyone, now I actually have a couple of competitive mons and an ultrabeast, I'm winning loads of battles online

Have none of the masses of 5iv pokemon I had stored up from last gen to work from so it took bloody ages to breed anything that was decent, but... worth it

The SOS appearance only Pokémon are really doing my nut in. I've wasted so many hours everyday this week trying catch a Politoed and haven't even had one appearance from the little shit yet. Going by the amount of people on GTS asking for him, I'm assuming many other people are having a nightmare with him too.

So I've just beat the game and honestly I think if the ending to this game is any indication then the Switch version/future franchise installment..

My main goal was to 'catch em all', but only the 81 new Pokémon, I've already got a living dex on OmegaRuby (bar Diancie), I'm just missing 3; Cosmoem, Lunala, and Marshadow.

Just completed the game with 26.50 hours. After I completed the elite four my mons were

Hariyama lv 52
Oricorio (electric) lv 54
Incineroar lv 56
Snorlax lv 53
Solgaleo lv 57
Araquanid lv 50

I'd say Snorlax was my most used Pokemon throughout the game. It was the free Munchlax
