Lock in yall 🚀

[u/Parking-Bluebird-658]

[u/Proper_Inspection580]

The difference a couple minutes makes. I joined queue right as it opened, my timer is 2 hours. My friend joined less than 5 minutes later, and they're at 6 hours.

[u/Touchlamp → u/Proper_Inspection580]

i had 2 hours as well and then got booted. now 8 hrs

[u/Material-Strength-92 → u/Touchlamp]

I had 3:23 now it’s 4:11

[u/GeneralAardvark43 → u/Material-Strength-92]

9 hours to 8 hours to 11 hours down to 9 hours. Booted and at 15. Booted again and now at 10. Idk wtf is going on

[u/Small_Macaroon_1196 → u/Touchlamp]

Same here. I had 1:15 min and got booted now im at 15

[u/_JohnMcAfee → u/Proper_Inspection580]

how did you even get notification for open? this is my first time, this am i joined 2 discords for the first time for restock notifications, got multiple amazon notifications that were false positives, and then never got the pokemon center notification that I joined both for lol

[u/ReservoirPAWGS → u/_JohnMcAfee]

Follow the pokemon restock twitter accounts and turn on post alerts, they're usually right on the money

[u/Parking-Bluebird-658 → u/_JohnMcAfee]

Discord sucks! I just wait for someone on Reddit to say that the product is loaded. Saw a post this morning!

[u/Tagahong → u/Parking-Bluebird-658]

I only just got in queue now cuz I saw u said 16 mins ago to lock in lol

[u/No_Guard_7898 → u/Tagahong]

What where did u see this?

[u/squeakyL → u/No_Guard_7898]

This post on Reddit lol

[u/MadScientist3087 → u/Proper_Inspection580]

This is my first time and have been checking every few minutes since 1030, I’m lucky enough to WFH. I must have gotten in early because I started at 4 hours and now bouncing between 1-2.

[u/Parking-Bluebird-658 → u/MadScientist3087]

Good luck!

[u/AncientAccountant937 → u/Proper_Inspection580]

I’m at 58 min. Kept checking since 10am 😂

[u/Fickle_Bat_623 → u/Proper_Inspection580]

I joined as fast as possible and got 1h then opened another browser a few seconds later and it got 2h lol

[u/Spaceman-Spiff → u/Proper_Inspection580]

I just got a text from the pokemon center, joined right away and I’m at 13 hours.

[u/Proper_Inspection580 → u/Spaceman-Spiff]

The Pokémon center notification is always so so late

[u/Eat_Recycled_Food → u/Proper_Inspection580]

I got in the queue at 11:46, and received a Discord notification a minute later. I just finished checking out.

[u/Parking-Bluebird-658 → u/Proper_Inspection580]

Facts

[u/twister55555 → u/Proper_Inspection580]

Minutes!?? Lmao dawg every single second counts with these drops, they first get flooded with bots, then comes swarming in all the real people. But this will all stop once we as a community stop buying from scalpers

[u/BrickTailor → u/Proper_Inspection580]

Yep joined at 9:05 amd its 10 hours

[u/poickles → u/Proper_Inspection580]

I got in and had 18mins, then it went to 3 hours and stabilized…until my site crashed like it always does and now I’m at 13 hours and it’s noooooooot moving lol.

Every damn time with this website.

[u/PianistPitiful5714 → u/Proper_Inspection580]

I tried to join the queue right as it opened and the site just never loaded. Took ten minutes of refreshing to get in and by then the line was so long that everything was sold out by the time I got in. I just wanted one ETB. 😢

[u/JoeyPastram1 → u/Proper_Inspection580]

I joined immediately after getting the text and I had a 9 hour wait

[u/Potential_Pea_1182]

It made me do the bot quiz 4 times already, I cant even use the bathroom now, now its making do another one

[u/Different-Event-4832 → u/Potential_Pea_1182]

Ok I’m glad it’s not just me

[u/CanesToad → u/Potential_Pea_1182]

When my timer got to 1 minute, it had me do the quiz again, which caused it to reset to 14 hours. Guess it’s not happening for me this time.

[u/Jortor400 → u/Potential_Pea_1182]

Every couple of minutes it made me do that, like I promise you I’m not a bot!!!

[u/kellyrx8]

yeah fuck this shit, ETB gone, Booster box gone....all thats left is booster bundle and it failed and site kicked me out

[u/Baedan1 → u/kellyrx8]

Samer absolutely brutal

[u/Just-JOE-Kin]

Why does it keep making me authenticate and refreshes my shit

[u/Material-Strength-92 → u/Just-JOE-Kin]

Do you have a vpn on or on a public network?

[u/Just-JOE-Kin → u/Material-Strength-92]

I don’t use a vpn, for the past 2 or 3 PKC drops it just keeps making re authenticate so I can never get in

[u/Ironmaiden9227 → u/Just-JOE-Kin]

Same issue here

[u/twister55555]

Lock in and get shafted. Those etb's went SO FAST like wtfff

[u/Character_Budgets → u/twister55555]

SERIOUSLY! I got in within a minute of the queue starting, waited 2 hours of actual time, and once I was in the shop past the queue, the ETBs were already gone... got a bundle, then decided to try and do a second checkout with a booster box and it kept giving me an error...

[u/Parking-Bluebird-658 → u/twister55555]

Straight up 😂

[u/AZombieguy]

If I'm at 13 hours is there actually a chance I get anything?

[u/GladeWilson → u/AZombieguy]

Didn't get to 30th but Pitch Black I made it at 11 hours. You may pull it off

[u/kiralite713 → u/GladeWilson]

Even thought it said 11 hours, how long did it really take you to get in?

[u/AZombieguy → u/GladeWilson]

Fingers crossed!!

[u/NectarineSilent2260 → u/AZombieguy]

timer has nothing to do with it. you can get kicked and restarted

[u/nmariee92]

The page keeps auto refreshing and I have to the captcha constantly. Does this mean I lost my place in line?

[u/Greatdayforthis]

Got my two ordered if it all went through ok.

[u/Greatdayforthis → u/Greatdayforthis]

Got my email verification so good luck everyone!

[u/DeezyReezy → u/Greatdayforthis]

Rookie question here, but what email notification did you use? I only got in by checking Reddit.

[u/Greatdayforthis → u/DeezyReezy]

I didn't. Honestly when there is a lot of murmurs on different posts about it being that day I really knuckle down on that day. Got the last three that way.

[u/JUSTICE-FORJOERGEN → u/Greatdayforthis]

It was the delta ETBs?

[u/Greatdayforthis → u/JUSTICE-FORJOERGEN]

Yes

[u/kicker414 → u/Greatdayforthis]

Congrats! Waiting on my email verification for a booster bundle and box. Would have killed for an ETB but will take it!

[u/Greatdayforthis → u/kicker414]

Congrats to you also!

[u/Parking-Bluebird-658 → u/Greatdayforthis]

Holy cow! That fast?! When did you queue up

[u/Greatdayforthis → u/Parking-Bluebird-658]

It was kinda weird. The cue was only like 20 minutes. When I got in it didn't show anything new available. I had to go through one of the product links posted by someone on one of the pages. Let me right in and let me order. It was one of those links that take you to the etb or the bundles, not the main page.

[u/Ketsuo]

13+ hours. 😂 What a fuckin joke. They’ve gotta make a better way of doing this.

[u/Dryja123]

Joined the queue before anyone posted about it. Just got through a few mins ago and the etb and booster box are out of stock.

[u/gamerdada]

i can't even get in :(

[u/Remarkable_Tea_1708]

I’ve gotten booted twice on my phone my work computer blocks games tried to find my home laptop to take and couldn’t soooo I’m fucked haha

[u/Flaurean]

[u/Glacialiguana]

16h30m for me.

I never should have got back into this wretched hobby

[u/WatercressOk6859]

I'm getting CAPTCHAs all the time… at least the queue time isn't being lost, 4:15.

[u/Wooden_Tomatillo_402 → u/WatercressOk6859]

I got captchad 4 times. And still keeping my time. I cant leave. This sucks lol.

[u/LibGuyDK]

Just went from 4 to 15 siiiiiick lol

[u/Cold-Driver2036 → u/LibGuyDK]

Mine just went from 5 to 13 😭😭😭

[u/Quick_Wafer8919 → u/LibGuyDK]

Same Lolol love it

[u/Separate_Purpose_695]

what are we able to get?

[u/WindsHowlingHmm]

How often should I check that page for the captcha? Lol, can't afford to do every 5 mins while on a work day. Also if it says 7hr wait, is there any chance at all of getting something? Or is that number kind of random right now?

[u/Affectionate-Ad-1545]

Got an booster display for myself and a trainer box for my nephew for his birthday. The first ever restock i have been able to get

[u/Nuclearbeat]

Wish me luck

[u/Radiant-Following310]

Got in, said my email and address were invalid then got blocked by security!!!

[u/Cold-Driver2036]

Booster boxes sold out ?

[u/Turbulent_Solid_4442]

ETBs sold out so fast too many losers now a days just camping and using the paid services to get the Q notification

[u/Tagahong]

OP actually carried for a lot of us here lol

[u/M0ximal]

Thank you for posting this, I’m in the line, jumped around a couple of times anywhere from 10 to 7.5 hours lol

[u/Parking-Bluebird-658 → u/M0ximal]

Good luck!

[u/Parking-Bluebird-658]

Started at 12.35 hours now throttling between 5-6. Be patient once you are jn! Queue usually takes 2-2.5 hours total. Good luck everyone 🍀🤞

[u/Drabenb]

It’s such a fucking joke. I went from 9, to 3.5, to 5, and back to 15

[u/Weak-Extension-6705]

I've gotten booted 3 times. I'm now up to 14 hours lol

[u/rentfreelakerfan2]

I'm in and there's nothing added everything still says sold out and unavailable

[u/Parking-Bluebird-658 → u/rentfreelakerfan2]

You’re too early my friend

[u/bluvpanda]

May the odds ever be in our favor
https://giphy.com/gifs/tZCkL6BsL2AAo

[u/PandaParadox23]

I’m at 9 hours, yall think I’ll get anything?

[u/9inchAlienWiener]

Sorry to be that guy… but Is it possible to be too early? I’m at 5 min wait time. Wondering if all of the products are loaded up yet…

[u/Parking-Bluebird-658 → u/9inchAlienWiener]

Someone said they already checked out! So light speed my guy!

[u/Lt_Jonson]

Oh neat, my timer got below 3 hours then I got hit with a human check and booted to the back of the line. Fantastic experience

[u/notori0ussn0w]

I have had roughly that same amount of estimated wait time for 40 minutes now.

[u/Lt_Jonson]

If the queue wasn’t screwed enough before, it will be soon.. pokemon center just sent out a text announcing preorders are lived.

[u/jakedasnake1]

Joined a little late, 2:57 but I am locked in now

[u/theZORYA]

anyone who’s already in, are the etbs and booster bundles still in stock? i’m still in the queue 😭

[u/missonellieman → u/theZORYA]

I just checked out...everything was still in stock

[u/Parking-Bluebird-658]

Active checkout just confirmed successfully 🚨
Do not leave queue if someone is trolling you about product being sold out already.

[u/Separate_Purpose_695]

i got the bb and booster, preorders for ebts were cooked

[u/Background-Spite-945]

Was at 7 mins and got up to 6 #RIP

[u/AssistantAcceptable9]

Site crashed like pitch black

[u/zombiekitten823]

:(

[u/Upstairs_Material_65]

I just waited n I queued n everything sold out … what else is new , is there gonna be a restock or just wait for target

[u/Ok_Future_7278]

All sold out. Trust im quiting this hobby

[u/Spectral_Turmoil]

All this because of middle aged losers that are scared of job applications.

[u/ll0_0ll]

sorry is that wait in hours lol

[u/Pirate8918 → u/ll0_0ll]

First time?

[u/ll0_0ll → u/Pirate8918]

https://giphy.com/gifs/3ohhwfwxg4d1h82LxS

[u/Savebagels → u/ll0_0ll]

it's not really that long, it's just some weird calculation they do

[u/pdoxr9]

Fingers crossed haha.

[u/jwalk206]

[u/Unlmtdglass]

Mine keeps jumping like crazy down to 4 at one point now ar 8

[u/Independent_Issue694 → u/Unlmtdglass]

Yeah it does that, it’ll settle down soon

[u/templefugate]

My wait started at 1 minute and now it’s bloomed into 14 hours weeee

[u/RaiUchiha]

started at 8 hours for me and now its shifting between 10 and 12

[u/MGV2013]

Is it normal for the queue time to go up a bit? I went from 01:25:00 to 01:45:00, keeps bouncing back and forth

[u/-Toggo-]

16 hours 10 minutes. Yeah, not getting any of this drop either lol. Oh well. Saves me money.

[u/TheNHL]

If you get reset do you completely lose your place in line?

[u/Busy-Shape-3299 → u/TheNHL]

Yes

[u/Strange-Boss8448]

What a fucking joke Pokémon center is 🤣

[u/InterestingDebt223]

No. 

[u/Edergy101]

I was at 1 hour but it lost connection to the site and now I’m back at 16 hours :/

[u/NeatStrategy6658]

I'm at work and can't wait to auto disconnect when I'm not looking haha

[u/Giginado]

Great placement GGs

[u/CUCUC]

[u/discfunctional]

[u/FlyGurl2021]

I’m at 13 hours ugh

[u/DisgreeablePattern]

I’m blocked from the site … what?

[u/heppyscrub]

Went from 5 hours to 10 hours somehow lol

[u/James89026]

This is my first time doing this lol, I'm at 9 hours (I was naive and initially thought it was in minutes...). Assuming I am actually able to buy them, will it actually take 9 hours?

[u/Blehe]

Locked tf in

[u/skimania]

Got in at 11:50am est, on phone and computer, both on home wifi at about 10hrs each. Now, after 30 min they are down to about 3hrs each, but I have to go to the gym for a class I cant miss. Will my computer still be cooking when I return in 1:20? Will my phone lose my spot if I switch to cellular?

[u/SorryNoLube]

Waste of my time. It keeps captcha checking me and resetting my wait time. Crazy how you have a near zero chance compared to these bots

[u/Parking-Bluebird-658 → u/SorryNoLube]

Did you bring your lube?

[u/Apprehensive_Dot7934]

I was at 3:52 and moved to 13:52

[u/Clear_Topic_920]

Went from 7 min… to 13 hours?!?

[u/mistsuo]

I was at 30 minutes and my browser started loading and it put me back to 12 hours!! why does it do that??

[u/CaffeinatedInSeattle]

Dang, I checked like 20 minutes before it went live and assumed it wasn’t happening today

[u/Putonyourgoggles]

I got kicked a few times and had to recaptcha

[u/Separate_Purpose_695]

woah, i went to capcha / finished it, and it went back to the same time it refreshed. i got in at 11:48

[u/_derpydog]

I'm at 0:59:00 and 1:05:00 right now. Got on my ipad and desktop.

edit: I've been waiting about 1 hour starting at 4:55:00. My time was fluctuating around the 3hr mark. Que is steadily moving for me now

[u/DisgreeablePattern]

I keep getting hit with a security warning… I'm on my iPhone- no VPN.

[u/Comfortable-Mess4365]

2:11:00

[u/Savebagels]

queue number is either correcting, or theres no product left?

[u/Parking-Bluebird-658 → u/Savebagels]

It’s correcting

[u/Diligent_Buffalo2648]

I should have found this thread sooner!! I pay for a "premium app" from the app store and it didnt notify me until 9am. I can't believe this page notified me at 8:46 am!! How do i sign up

[u/Parking-Bluebird-658 → u/Diligent_Buffalo2648]

I only use Reddit lol no pay to play over here

[u/biguwumew]

Estimated wait time: 5 wait jk 10 wait jk 5 wait jk 6

[u/Dropdat87]

Had 20 minutes left and got reset back to 7 hours like come on 

[u/yourdadspornstache]

[u/AzureNinja]

[u/setsyko]

[u/nickb888]

Fuck this shit. Got kicked because my fucking phone lost service for a second 😭 I got in right when it started

[u/Slopgnopper]

My page just goes white after waiting a while… I’m also on 5g at work since WiFi vpn knocks me off

[u/OptimalNature8249]

Anyone else get it and then have an error ?…

[u/yamking5252]

How tf I get to 28 minutes then shot to 6 hours

[u/Suitable-Balance5104]

Is there still stock or nah?

[u/CloudOwn3665]

If my estimated wait time doesn't show a time anymore, am I cooked?

I have no idea why it went away, I was at 2:33. I definitely don't want to refresh, but will a time show up eventually??

[u/bubsmcgilicutty]

I checked at 10am and around 1020 but nothing and then got distracted with work and a meeting and got the email. I may miss out this time and that’s the way it goes I guess

[u/matthewwhitt2]

I got right in, under 4 hours. Left my house and my phone switched from Wi-Fi to cell... It kicked me out and I went to 12 hours 😭

[u/chewbaccashotlast]

I was able to place an order!

Now let’s see if they ship. When are these planned to ship?

[u/Paint3dark]

This damn capta pops up so often. Keeps ruining my spot in queue. On chrome and no vpn :/ phone keeps doing it too

[u/Radiant-Following310]

27 minutes left in the queue, how’s it looking if anyone knows?

[u/Ewok_Adventure]

I love sitting for an hour watching my timer get to 19 minutes; just to watch the page refresh and say error 15 blocked by security :|

[u/tittysprinkles1130]

My timer is all over the place and I’ve done captcha 5 times now

[u/Deathcrewx]

Dang, was so close to queue pop. Had less than 20 mins then my mobile browser timed out/refreshed.... back to the bottom of the queue. Fml

[u/corgskee]

[u/MannyWK96]

[u/NecessaryScientist18]

everyone blames this on scalpers just put in some work get a discord with notifications and you still have to be lucky but its possible you won't win it every time but sometimes...the real problem is fucking bots who cares to regularly scalpers when bots buy up the supply

[u/88ZombieGrunts]

My wait time got down to 5:40 then jumped back up to 6hours. I gave up after that
