What's the exact time Z-A releases?

I've pre-ordered it already and wanted to search to see if I can play it hour one, but I can't find exactly what hour it's going to release.

I think @fineasmatei told me on Wednesday 15th 9 AM PDT.

I don't think so. The game doesn't release until the 16th.

Check my profile and scroll down just a bit.

That's where me and @fineasmatei talked about because they have a way to play it early.

My gamestop is having a midnight launch so it must depend on the region.

I did a search before I made the post and it said 12:00AM in every time zone (except for certain parts of America). Does that mean I'll be able to play it early if I set my Switch clock to NZ time? I made the post because it was a little confusing.

In some places you can play it at 9pm on the 15th.

You don't need online access to play story mode.

I don't think anyone is going to get their starter and say "Let's play Ranked!"

You could get Pokemon and complete story sooner.

Search Pokemon Legends Z-A and IGN and find it says Realese date confermed.
