Ash having been shaded in kinda clashes with the pokemon, but if that's intended then okay.

I've already entered all the codes, hopefully I win something.

 

I won this a few years ago.

Luckyyy. I've never won anything. Hope I get something, even if it's just the guidebook haha.

I didn't get the Mega Mawile wallpaper (at least to my knowledge). But I did get Mega Absol. Did you get the Absol wallpaper?

Yeah those two are the only two that failed on me. Wish I remembered which pokemon they were.

I would assume so. Did you get the TCG codes from Froakie and Spirtzee?

Yeah I think it was those two

I know Clauncher for sure. But I got the cell phone alert from a few pokemon. I also got 2 pokemon TCG booster pack codes. what did you get?

Ah cause I can give you the missing one if I have it. I only noticed the manga failing. I got the same, I think it's the same for everyone.

I would go with W101, DKCTF, and SM3DW.

To be honest I've never played a Donkey Kong haha. I was too busy playing Banjo Kazooie. Sound like good choices though! I hope SM3DW is good and not just a rehashed 3DLand.

You won't be able to get pokemon Like Xerneas with the code.

Where is it from/what does it unlock though? Seems weird there's an 'extra' code that stops you from unlocking some...

I haven't been able to download the manga either. I can't download the pokemon cell phone alert too .Although I have been able to download the wallpapers and ringtone.

Which pokemon was the cell phone alert? I thought I got all the phone stuff.

What's wrong with code XY738A? Also, has anyone been able to download the manga?

Or you could just wait like me. Every Christmas season either/ or both Target and ToysR'Us have this same deal. By that time DKCTF, WWHD, SLW, and SM3DW should be out.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. They always at LEAST have a buy 2 get one. I'd probably get Sonic with it.

You could buy any 3rd game and not open it. Then when WWHD comes out you switch your unopened game for WWHD.

True, I suppose that could work, if that's how returns work haha. Just not sure if I'd buy it since I can play the GC one. 

This seems to beat my 10% digital bonus but not sure if I want 3 full priced games. I'd pick up W101 and Rayman, already have Pikmin... Could always wait for black friday/cyber monday hm. They really didn't have a better game to show than Planes for the last slot though? Lol Nice to see third party and Pikmin prominently displayed in any case.

It makes sense, Mega Garchomp would be broken otherwise. Garchomp is already Uber tier, you need to make a trade off. You can use tail wind or baton pass if you want a fast Mega Garchomp. Jolly nature too, no point making it Adamant with that attack boost.

Well if you can't choose between the two, go with Chespin

Quilladin is the embodiment of everything I could possibly dislike in a pokemon though. D: Plus I prefer Mage over Paladin.

Looking closer into Fennekin's evolution I started to realize that it looks like a witch. If you look at the tail it looks like a broom. The fur is shaped into a similar fashion as a dress. I believe that Fennekin will be fire/ psychic.

Omigosh. Thank you for clarifying what that stick in the tail was. I was completely baffled and settled on a hair pin. lmao I did notice the dress though. Witch fox and a cool frog are gonna be hard to choose between...

I have a question to all Americans out there. Is the hype over McDonald as big as it used to be a few years ago? There are legends all around Europe about many Americans eating nothing but McDonalds and being fat only because of it and that's like a high percentage of the whole population.

Depends on what you mean by "nothing but McDonalds". I'm not aware of any hype over it years ago either. Only difference is that now it's more obvious how unhealthy it is so it lost even more class than a fast food place could have to begin with.

Anyways, if you mean literally, I don't think many people at all would only eat fast food in any country.

If you mean frequently, then yeah I suppose it's true, and perhaps less people eat there frequently. I had a period of almost always getting breakfasts from the McDonald's on my block before getting onto my schoolbus because I was tired of my usual options and find it hard to eat right after waking, but then I stopped when I noticed I was gaining weight. Quick, convenient and relatively cheap is just kinda hard to resist lol.

Wait... those puny little biscuit sandwiches will be only ten calories less than a big mac? I'd rather just get the one that's at least x2 as big. Geeze what are those biscuits made out of, pure lard?

Hmm this sucks. If Sony ever does manage to tempt me to get one, I'd prefer the better screen. But by the time that happens, I'd probably have to resort to trying to find an unscratched used console. At that point, may as well get the Slim. Don't exactly want to waste money buying one in the near future with the chance it won't be worth the investment... Sony sure is making it difficult for me to throw money at them.

It's 500 yen a YEAR. Give or take $5 stateside. Not a day, not a week, not a month, but a WHOLE YEAR. Pretty dang cheap if you ask me. Free is always better, but this really ain't much of a problem. You can always use that free trail period to transfer anyway.

Each Pokemon file is less than a kb. You're being charged $5 a year for less than 3MB storage. Really should've just been like PokeRanch and been a one time fee mini game storage hybrid. Regardless, sucks for people who just want to transfer their pokemon but can't get the game before the trial ends. :/

I don't understand how it prevents hackedmon. If it does then that's great! Now I'm just curious to see the annual price fee....... 

Well, it probably won't perfectly prevent it. Basically, it will be impossible to hack Gen 6 pokemon for a while. At the same time, bringing your gen 5 and under pokemon to the new games will cost money, which may deter some people from trying to import their hacks. On top of that, it's using cloud storage as a middle man, so I fully expect there will be legality checks. If a pokemon is able to be flagged as hacked, it would probably not be allowed into the Bank. Only perfectly created hacks will slip through.

I believe that spraying a soapy water mixture at them may kill them, as I think that's what's done to bees. It blocks their spiracles and asphyxiates them.

Um... I think getting a bee suit would be necessary in this situation lol.

Omigosh. Someone else who reads Gunnerkrigg.

The plot is way too complicated to explain, but I'll try. The main character is a girl who transfers to a strange school. It's really not about school drama though. There's a technology vs nature treaty going on with the nearby forest. She meets what are basically gods from various mythologies, and there's some magic. Very good jigsaw puzzle plot.

Twokinds -Human boy meets fuzzy girl, racial stuff, magic, dragons, stuff.

El Goonish Shive - Really long comic. Art starts out horrible but is good now. I guess the TL;DR is that a kid made a transformation gun and hijinks ensue.

Misfile - Angel mixes up files while high in heaven, gets kicked out, tries to help the two lives he messed up. Boy becomes girl, and a girl loses a year of her life. Oh, and car racing. I guess this has a lot of teen drama and some romance, but I started reading cause it sounds hilarious lol.

Earthsong - Uh... Planets are sentient, and one hosts a refuge for all of the species from the other planets. Because... Just read the description on site lol.

Finished comics-

Inverloch, Dreamless, and The Phoenix Requiem

... Can't really remember others.

If you want to risk ruining warranty and possibly the system itself by enabling homebrew on Wii Mode, then yeah.

Nope. Even for artists, you can just zoom in. Text could be fixed with settings... The Gamepad right now is already borderline with its weight. Lighter than it looks, but you kinda notice the weight if you play all day...

I mean, if no one meant non-real time graphics, then why even go there?

I saw at least two people thinking it may be an AR game before my post, where cgi vs real imagery is relevant. I mentioned AR in the same line as CGI, as to make the distinction obvious. I understand why someone may read it as prerendered cinematics regardless of context clues, however, as you're correct in that's usually the common meaning.

 

I'm not unfamiliar with Pokemon. I'm just not into knowing all their names, looks, etc.

The game description was aimed at someone else I quoted in the same post. And yeah the tail becomes kinda thick, then tapers, sorta like a fox crossed with a wolf...

 

And this looks similar. Take your Pokemon and battle in a stage. There is no rule that it has to be done exactly the same as past consoles, with the circus looking stages. Might as well make the stages awesome since the horsepower is there.
Actually the Pokemon way of doing this is less demanding than a true fighting game, since the fighting mechanics are more rpg style. So graphics can be ramped up.

As far as the trainers not being there, they weren't in the old games either.

Yeah I know the trainers weren't in the old games, but they still had the official rinks. Regardless on the aesthetics and graphics of the stages, Stadium and PBR generally used those rinks to signify that it was some sort of organized battling, like a tourney. The fact that the fight is taking place in the middle of the street can mean a couple things. It can mean it's a Stadium style game with many stages to choose from like in Brawl, or it could signify an unofficial battle from an RPG like in Colosseum or XD, where fights like this were literally most of the gameplay. With more than one valid possibility, it doesn't seem right to assume it'd be a Stadium or any other kind of game.

 

Kinda looked like something awesome is coming.

 

I agree. Regardless of what this game ends up being, I'm excited that the game clearly had a lot of effort put into it. RPG or HD online battler software, I welcome it. (Although I'd really prefer they'd combine it as you said and make an RPG with online battling features...)

It's not exactly 1 fruit per day, some fruit give 2 jars of juice or more, I think cherries only give a half. Basically as long as you have one container you can go another day.
