Hm, says that you had to verify that you wanted their emails before yesterday. Guess I'll just hope for the next wave.

 

Shit. The unique Mega is Glalie? I was gonna skip the demo because I thought it was Solrock/Lunatone. Now I've got to actually try to get this thing.

 

Fuck, I got the email, but image for the code won't load!

 

They're workin' on it, I guess.

 

Its PokeBank all over again.

 

So the complete set you can get is Glalie plus stone, 10 poke balls, 10 heal balls and some heart scales.

 

Anybody else get their demo code today?

 

^ Nope, got mine last week when it was supposed to have gone out via email. On that note I snagged my Diancie yesterday at Gamestop, one more legendary closer to a full 'dex.

 

GF and I got Gengar codes for shiny + Gengarite at Gamestop

it denied us saying the gifts had been issued already. Which can't be since we took off the silver covering stuff ourselves

 

The time frame to use those codes ended on the 26th. According to the one sitting on my desk at least.

 

Just in case anyone was worrying:

Sceptile is still confirmed godtier.

This is a thing. I can fly on the back of my mega latios to find legendary pokemon.

 

So, so awesome. I hope there's not typical nintendo bullshit re. the eon ticket, and I can download it over wi-fi. Fuck street pass or going to Gamestop or any of that shit.

The Japanese get it from Coro Coro right?

Edit: Wait. The eon ticket is just to get the second Lati@s right? You get one without it depending on version?

Nevermind then.

 

I never knew I needed this in my life

 

Because of my essays, I haven't had the time to be hyped.

My essays are finished.

It's time to be hyped.

 

I got Omega Ruby and I'm playing it as we type. Might be a Nuzlocke-y run, although I'm already rather attached to Sir Kippington The Fourth, so. Two quick things before I go, to tease y'all: 1, the opening is the most hilarious troll ever and I loved it, and 2, you can now inch the circle pad to sneak around (reduces chances of bumping into Pokemon in grass and stuff) and it, again, most hilarious thing ever. 'Cause if you go as slowly as possible on the circle pad you've got your player doing a slow mo Thriller dance moving forward. Doing that while sneaking up on May was twenty minutes well spent.

Back to it. Me and Sir Kippington are going off to help Team Magma with their plans. Sir Kippington aside, there's just too much water in this region.

 

Alpha Sapphire is in my grasp.

All systems are a go.

Um, I have a slight concern. I got Sapphire, and am I ONLY fighting Team Aqua? Because Magma didn't show up in the forest before Rustboro, and what I really liked about Hoenn was that you got to fight against two teams.

 

Uhhh... You always fought just the one team in Ruby/Sapphire. Only in Emerald you fought both. The other team shows up in R/S as being against the team you're fighting, but you never fight them.

It's cool though. You beat them Aqua scoundrels. They deserve it. Trying to make Hoenn more water-y. How fucking dare they. I'm still trying to infiltrate Magma myself but the initiation involves me beating a lot of them... Hmm...

 

Bout to spark Sapphire up. Quick question, does this game have customizable outfits like X/Y?

Also, later after everyone has beaten this and what not, can we organize a legendary trade-trade back thing so those of us with just one copy can get pokedex data + use the other version legendaries to unlock the rest of the legendaries?

 

There's no customization, which is pretty stupid. I hate it that every time a battle starts, I have to see the back of May, with her leotard, short-shorts, and thigh-high stockings. She looks ten.

I’m two hours in, and I’m not sure how I feel. The graphics seem to have gone backwards since X/Y; they look rough. Perhaps they’re meant to connect more with R/S’s graphics style, but it’s a bit of a letdown. All the routes are also in their little ‘zones’, and the screen fades to black every time you go to a new place. It makes the world seem small. The music is pretty much the same, and the Pokemon appear to be limited to what the Pokemon were in R/S for each route. So there doesn't seem to be random gen 4/5/6 Pokemon, which is depressing.

Fuck, I’m still pissed about the Team Aqua/Magma thing. It didn’t occur to me they’d be split up like this. Emerald is my favorite damn Pokemon game, for the world and for the story. I loved how Magma and Aqua kept trying to one-up one another. Is nothing about Emerald in here?

I’m trying not to be negative about this, I’m not even past Rustboro, but I guess I was expecting these games to be more updated.
