Think about it this way. Are you going to walk into a McDonald's only to ask for a code to get a Pokemon? Sure at Gamestop thats fine but at a huge internatiol multi million dollar company like McDonald's thats not going to go over well It will be with the Happy/Mighty Kids meals or with purchase of an Extra Value Meal I'm almost certain of it...thankfully I have a kid so I'm justified when it comes to buying a Happy Meal XD

I remember when McD released a set of Pony toys.
I just straight walked to the desk and asked for Rarity.
They gave me an Applejack (Fuckers) for free (Oh...Rescind that last insult).
Sometimes you just gotta have the resolve of not beating around the bush and asking straight up.

I have zero problem doing that. From the employee perspective, it's gonna suck, because it'll be wasting time and managers are going to really hate doing it. (Assuming it's not bundled with a meal, because honestly it does make sense given they're not going to want people walking in not wanting food.) And dealing with employees not wanting you there isn't fun.

Plus I still insist everything should just be given out over Wi-Fi now.

But if your kid is interested in Pokemon you have to buy more than one happy meal. :lol

haha I have two kids and one isn't even old enough to care XD

Oh, it sucks for everyone involved, which is why I try to make it as painless as possible.

I do agree that it should all be over Wi-Fi, though.

Since I'm failing miserably at it, can anyone get me a Shiny Xerneas? I'll trade a spare Level 100 Celebi for it.

B-but...I hate McDonald's!

If I have to buy what they refer to as "food" to get it, then screw it. I'd rather not have one.

Xerneas is locked. You literally can't get a Shiny of it, unless you hack (This applies to Yveltal as well).

I think he talks about the event which is currently happening in Japan where you get a Shiny Xerneas if you input a code shown on TV.

What he said.
