Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire launch worldwide for the Nintendo 3DS on November 21st (November 28th in Europe). As with the release of Pokémon X and Y last year, many stores and fan groups are organizing events to celebrate the release. With your help, we're once again compiling a list of midnight launch events from across the globe.

The following is without a doubt definitely not a complete list, so if you find that there isn't an event listed for your region, it might be worth contacting your local stores or gaming societies to see if any are happening, or perhaps even start up your own, then let us know about them by emailing us at oraslaunch[at]bulbagarden.net!

Obviously we can only included the details which we've been told about for each event, so if you need more information or if you are unsure about the particulars, please do not hesitate to get in touch with those hosting it. For now, here is the current list of launch events:
