Northwest Indiana Search for Pokes

I realize this isn't every store in Northwest Indiana, but I'm not driving half way to another state. I love Pokes, but my wallet can't take the hit in gas.

Conclusion: If you're a Northwest Indiana bro, I've got bad news for you, only one place said they might be having an early shipment maybe, and that's one of the Kmarts. Otherwise there are quite a few Gamestops in the area doing midnight releases, and I'll probably just end up going to one of those.

Sorry to disappoint, I spent an hour an a half on the phone--no dice. Good luck in your Pokemon Adventures.
