In just a few days, Pokémon Sun and Moon will launch worldwide for the Nintendo 3DS on November 18 (November 23 in Europe), marking the beginning of the franchise's seventh generation. As with the release of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire two years ago, 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.

This number 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 events[at]bulbagarden.net! We were contacted about a large variety of different events - some midnight launches, some tournaments and even some completely original ideas. We have only included the details which we were told about, so if more information is needed 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:
