As the title says. In case you don't remember the month before black and white came out nintendo hosted a mall tour where you could play the games, buy Pokemon merchandise, and meet other fans. I'd love it if they'd do it a second time as I missed it last go. Also Pokemon plushies are this grown mans kryptonite...
 
As long as it's done in Canada, Ontario near the Pickering/Ajax area, I'm all for it. I live in Pickering, and I'm only 11, so I can't necessarily get anywhere too far without my dad.
 
It'd be cool, but I personally don't really care since whenever those things do come around they're a good 2 hour drive from where I live.
 
As long as it is within driving distance of my house, I'd be all for another mall tour. I really had fun at the one for B/W and it would get me more excited to play X/Y. The lines to play the demos would still be ridiculously long, but I'd spend the time getting plush toys and maybe figures instead anyway.

You guys are lucky. I live in CANADA. And I'm 11. So I can't drive or get on an airplane.
Please tell me Pokemon Mall Tours go somewhere near Pickering, Ontario. Ajax, maybe?
 
I went to the mall tour in Philly. Honestly it was just a way to bring in more sales to the malls which is why the malls likely agreed to it. It would be cool to do it again. But then again seeing a pair of 18 year olds running around a mall for Pokemon stuff is odd

Shenanigans, I've been playing Pokemon before a lot of players were born. Quite a bit before Poko907 it sounds like, no offense at all. If anything people should be more accustomed to college kids such as myself running around at a Pokemon event.

I use to work at GameStop, I'd throw an annual Pokemon tournament every year with my assistant manager. We'd draw a large crowd for these tournaments. There was a JV cup for kids under 13 and a varsity cup for kids older. The varsity cup always had the most competitors, and they were almost always older then 18.

No offense taken. I made up my username when I signed up for Club Penguin when I was 6. I misspelled Pokemon. I use it a lot, because it's easy to remember and no one else ever does it.
My older cousin, Daniel, is 17. He still plays Pokemon.

PS Have you ever heard of an online comic called "Brawl in The Family (BiTF)"? It's made by a married guy who still plays Fire Emblem, Nintendo Land, Pokemon, Smash Bros, Kirby, etc.
Adeline is even a recurring character! And she's only in one game!

EDIT: Yes, I do want a mall tour. Please let there be at least 1 sneak peek at a new Pokemon!

I went to the BW tour in Strongsville Ohio. I had a great time there. I think that the should have anonther tour area in the NE ohio area because it was very full in the pokemon section of people of all ages. not to mention it was in THE Westfield SouthPark Mall which is one of the best and well known Malls in the entire Cleveland area. Not to mention the fact they had the huge trailers facing ohio route 82 which is one of the largest in terms of traffic volume in NE Ohio. I do agree that they should have the tours for X and Y and that NE Ohio be another stop.

If you think that's weird, you should have been in Minnesota, where you could see a 30+ year old woman cooing over an Oshawott plush. (Yeah, that just so happened to be me...)

I'd like another mall tour. I'd just like it a bit closer, quite frankly. It's easier for me to hit Chicago than Minneapolis and a lot less of a headache.
 
I'd love to attend a mall tour. Although I don't think there is an event like that miles from where I live. There never seems to be. But im 19 and i'd be running around that mall like a 5 year old for pokemon stuff :D
 
The closest one to me was San Jose last time and that's about a 3 hour drive and a god awful city. I'd prefer somewhere better like sac or San Fran, I don't mind the drive. Road trips are a lot of fun or me, especially when they involve stuff I like.
 
I went to two of them the last time- Philly and Paramus. It was very enjoyable and I still have the vast majority of the stuff I got there. I loved seeing a Pokemon movie on the big screen for the first time in 10 years at that event.

There were a ton of people of all ages there, and it got very crowded later in the afternoon. You bet that if there's another one for X and Y, I'd be there first thing when the mall opens!
 
They never do any of that kind of thing here anyway so i dont have any kind of expectations.
 
Well, why not? I personally have never gone to one, simply because there has never been any sort of Pokémon game launch event in my country, but still, I'm all for it. It seems like it's a lot of fun, a great way to promote the games and a rare opportunity for fans to meet up.
 
I would go if they did it a little later this time. Last time they had announced about 10 or 15 new Pokemon when they had it.
 
I would love it if they did one, but we rarely get tours of any kind or anything here in the Philippines, sadly
 
Man, you people who live in popular places like the US are so lucky. As for me, i'm stuck in south-east Asia, more accurately, Malaysia. As far as I know, not a single Pokemon event has occured here. If a mall tour would be held at a mall in my neighbourhood built a couple of months ago, that would be a MIRACLE !!! I would beg my mom to bring me there!

p.s. I'm 13 years old.
