It seems like the perfect (excuse the pun) candidate for one of their super-sized Moncolle toys. :D

I have one of those (I think) and the term "super sized" is incredibly exaggerated :lol

But I guess they just mean they are super-sized in comparison with the normal ones.

And yes, a 100% Zygarde vinyl-figure will definitely happen at some point in the future and I'll snag one to put next to my Groudon.

Pokemon Shuffle is a money-grabbing, frustrating game. But I love it so much.

I'm so glad I didn't get sucked in :lol

Don't even bother with Shuffle right now. People have been hacking the game like crazy and cheating their way to the top of the events going on.

They've been using unobtainable Pokemon and making their scores 9,999,999 in the contests for Mega Stones.

Well, I figured the reason people liked to play was because of the mix between Pokemon and puzzle games...

That's true. Still, the benchmark of 250,000 is pretty doable.

The issue with the Mobile version is that they don't seem to throw you a bone as often as the 3DS one. It's so hard to get any jewels.

Well Corocoro will be here in a few days. Hopefully we get some good news out of it.

I just had a thought of what would be a great addition to Pokken Tournament. Gliscor.

He's not your traditional bipedal pokemon, and he could have a very unique moveset.

I just came to a realization that Super Mystery dungeon launches directly before i have finals at Uni... I'm just gonna put this on my shelf for like a month am i.

Man I wish I didn't sell my Platinum game. I still have a JPN Platinum game though, but it isn't the same :(

Shiny Xerneas and Yveltal event confirmed for Japan, man i hope these come out to the states.

Hoopa will also be distributed in Europe in late October.

Serial code though, so I won't even bother.

Get used to the Serial Codes then. They're not going to stop using them. They can't do what they used to at store events because of the workers keeping the game cartridge that gave away the Pokemon through IR and selling them online or keeping them for themselves.

That is why Serial Codes is a thing now. There will never be another IR event again.

Then they could just do a wifi one instead? They've done plenty in the past.

Pokemon want the promotion, so WiFi can't be used all the time.

But they never do it at all here any more, which is the problem.
I get the point of the in-store ones, but if they need to promotion then just limit the serial code ones to shiny Pokemon. Ones like Diancie and Hoopa should be much more accessible.

Europe had Diancie over WiFi in the summer. They do give the event Pokemon like Diancie out through WiFi, only after they give them through Serial Codes.

It's better for them to promote the brand new Event Pokemon at stores than online anyway.

I am. Used to missing out and waiting for the WiFi event that is.


Like they didn’t stop using cartridges?

Which was a problem how exactly? If the module didn’t came back, give the store that had it a strike, easy as that.

Using codes is just much easier than having to distribute cartridges, that’s all.

And you know that because your last name is Nostradamus or…?

And that event lasted for a grand total of four days.

I think you're missing the problem here.

And if you didn't get that thing in four days then it was your fault.

The point is that the new Pokemon they reveal for events are to be used as promotion at stores for upcoming games and movies. That is why they do events like that.

So the Hoopa event that started here yesterday is promoting something?

New game out on the shelves now? Nope.
Hoopa movie due on on DVD here any time soon? Nope.
Hoopa movie due to air on TV here any time soon? Maybe, but they certainly aren't advertising it.

Exactly.

I understand the point of in-store promotions, but just because they may be well-timed for you in the US doesn't mean they are here. They aren't promoting anything except games that have been on the shelves for months and chain stores which (in some cases) base their stores completely out of city centres that can prove difficult to get to.

I have to agree with zeo. We haven't gotten last two film in uk the last time we did not get a Pokemon film in uk was lucario one and we still don't have that film and add last two on the list that three film we ant got

The Diancie film is out. I don't know when it was released though.
The only films that haven't been released on DVD here now from what I can see are the Lucario, Manaphy and Genesect ones. No idea why the skipped the Genesect movie when they've been doing them pretty steadily since the Darkrai one.

Or why they went back and did the Deoxys one but not the Lucario or Manaphy ones for that matter. But oh well.

EDIT: Oh wait, that Diancie listing on Amazon is actually region one. Never mind then :lol

I was going to say. I have to agree the movie where be release pretty well until recently even with the film airing on citv as well

Hoopa has been announced as a goddamn McDonald's event in the US.

Uuuuugh. >_<

The newest opening is sick.

It doesn't sound too crazy, they do MC Donalds events a lot in Japan.

Exactly. This feels alien and it scares me.

What's wrong with that?

McDonalds is a heck of a lot more common than Gamestop and TRU. As long as you don't have to buy Kid's Meal to get a code(Since they're doing Pokemon as the Kid's Meal during that time). People shouldn't be complaining about the location since McDonald's are around every corner in the US lol.

You really don't freaking get why people don't like these, do you?

As a former McDonalds employee I can say that handling this would be akward for both the customer and employee

I don't think i get it either.

Also as one for five years, I would have hated it too.

It's a fast food restaurant. It shouldn't be happening there. Don't care if they do it in Japan too or that there's more of them than other stores.

They should just be over Wi-Fi period, but at least doing it at a game store made a tiny bit more sense before.

They're doing it to go along with the Pokemon Kid's Meals at that time. It does make sense for them to do it there.

Of course they gonna make you buy a kids meal it's a scam to make money just for a code. I don't see free wi-fi in md.

Yeah and you have to BUY the kids meal to get the code bullshit. It should just be free like it was at GameStop before where u did not have to pay.

They sometimes have free wifi, just not all of them.

Who said you had to buy the Kid's Meal? That isn't stated anywhere. Calm down until we learn more about the event.
