They quit taking pre-orders for Pokemon Center after the 8th. Also, apparently Pokemon Center doesn't care at all if you get your game by or on release date, as they're SHIPPING on or after release date. Garbage. They messed up my initial pre-order from June and I was forced to re-do it last minute, despite what their emails and FAQ on the website said about recharging my card.... It has just been an absolute NIGHTMARE dealing with Pokemon Center on this game order.I ONLY ordered from them for the bonus keychain and lack of tax and shipping charged. Otherwise it would've been a hard no from me, and it SHOULD HAVE been, had I known.

Point is, it is too late to order from PC, so update the article. Some big site needs to make a story on how slimy Pokemon Center is in keeping illegal holds on funds on peoples' cards and not even SHIPPING pre-order games until on or after the release date. They try to wiggle out of it by mincing words. It's insulting on top of all of the garbage. People need to talk about THAT. I can't be the only one dealing with this trash.
