You don't know what Streetpass is?
In a nutshell it's a thing where when you walk by someone with a 3DS you get to see a bit of they're profile and you can play little games like find Mii and Miiforce. You can also fill in puzzles featuring great 3DS games.
And some 3DS games even feature streetpass funtionality like streetsmash in Smash 3DS which is Tin pin slammers from TWEWY. And in ORAS secret bases are shared through streetpass.

Of course there's the very unlikely chance that ANYONE who I walk by even plays nintendo games anymore or at all, in other words, unless I'm lucky or they decide to NOT give us the metaphorical "middle finger" & let this be distributed via serial code at Gamestop stores, then I'll still be without an Eon Ticket Q~Q.

Just hit up Nintendo Zones at places like Starbucks, McDonalds, Best Buy, or Home Depot and you'll eventually be fine. Also conventions are good for Street Passes as well.

Who brings a 3DS to Home Depot?

Play coin.

Quite a few apparently. The one I've hit up for Street Passes while getting stuff for the house a few times yielded about 9 passes each time(though some were double tags since I think some of the people working their tagged me through the zone and their 3DS).

Or you could know... Just Trade, Transfer from past games or buy the other copy of the game, in all honesty while I understand every ones frustration with this Eon Ticket thing there is alternative way.

I've got both copies on pre-order, as of this past Tuesday. My main gripe is that unless there's a play pokemon event I won't get access to the event. Also, I'm confused by how the info on the Eon Pokemon was placed on the English OR/AS website as it doesn't point out if you get the Eon Pokemon for each specific game the original way or if I need the Eon Ticket to get the Eon Pokemon for that specific game :/.

Well, all of those minus conventions are pretty commonplace in my part of Florida, no conventions close enough to where I live for me to go to one, unless I get a part time job anyways :L.

Anyone who has a 3ds/2ds & lives with a family member that shops there, I usually stay in my grandpa's car when he wants to venture there when I'm with him though so yeah, well that's unless he's in there for a good while & I don't feel like letting my ass become rump roast for hawks, falcons, eagles, or buzzards *yes Florida has those :lol *.

Oh, on a different topic, here's my new FC: 1177-9236-9486
*PM me your FC as that's usually how it works for me*.

Latias is native to and a story element in Alpha Sapphire, while Latios is in Omega Ruby. The Eon Ticket unlocks the ability to catch the opposite one on Southern Island in a single game, same as the old Eon Ticket.

I'm surprised that it wasn't worded carefully when I was reading it, I seriously don't understand Nintendo sometimes -_-.
