Well right now I have 30,000+ blocks... So I think I'll be alright on the digital copy too

Physical, for sure.
Nothing beats the feeling of driving to the game store and picking this up first thing in the morning

I agree, having a physical copy will be satisfying to pick up and really look at, but because it's such a portable, a-little-gameplay-a-lot kind of game, getting it digitally doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

Physical copy for sure. I like having the game to hold in my hand so I know nothing can happen to it. I also like having the box and reading the leaflets inside and all that
Also, what if something happened to my 3DS, like it broke or something? I'd rather have a physical copy so I know all my effort in my town is going to be safe <3

Physical copy. Day 1 (hopefully Day 1).

You could lose the cartridge, or it could break.. then it'd be impossible to get your data back.
Another reason why I wanna have the digital version is that I can backup my game data.

Nah I wouldn't lose it, it would be in my 3ds all the time because I don't have or want to buy any other 3ds game xD It'll be pretty safe in there
Wouldn't it also be possible to have more than 1 town with the digital version??
I was thinking about it... you can download the game, start a town, backup everything on your computer or a flash drive.. delet it from the sd-card and redownload the game from the eShop (because once you bought software you can download it as often as you like) and then start a new town with that version.
That should work right? That way you should be able to create an infinite number of towns.

Can you have them together on the 3DS or would you change the data via flash drive/pc everytime you want to play the other town.
If you can really do that, i will go with the digital one
If not I will buy the physical one, since it's a little bit cheaper if you buy it on amazon...
Hmm, you have a big theory there.
It would be like the good ol' days. In the Gamecube days my sister and I would go buy a ton of memory cards, so we had like 11 towns total.
That being said, I'm still going with physical. I don't really want to take care of all those towns anyways. I just want my one really nice village.

I'm going with a physical copy. I've always liked to have a physical copy of everything I buy, like books, movies, and video games.

Hmmm, I'll go for the physical copy. There's something nice about going to GameStop and waiting outside until they open, and then buying the game and rushing home and playing the game all the rest of the day. Plus, I know the people working at GameStop cuz I've bought so many games and stuff, they recognize me now. I'll make sure they give me the first copy. haha.
haha.
Both.
I'm going to be download the JP version from the eshop on launch day and buy a physical copy of the NA version once it is out.
I have upgraded my SD card for my 3ds which means I now have an extra SD card, so I am going to see if it is possible to have more than one town by redownloading the game from the eshop.
So I just tried this out with the Pokemon AR searcher and when I redownloaded it, everything was completely reset (meaning I can catch the Kami trio again even though they are limited to being caught once on the app).
All of my AR searcher data (the one that wasn't deleted) is completely intact on the other SD card.
It looks like this theory may hold up.
EDIT: Actually, instead of redownloading the game from the eshop, couldn't you just delete the town on one of the SD cards and make a new one?
