I looked at the "how to get pokemon" and it looks like theyre doing the cards, like they did with shiny Gengar and Diancie! Since it mentioned that you would need to enter a code. If thats the case, than there will probably be people willing to get extra cards for people who cant do that otherwise! I knew a lot of people were doing that at least back when Gengar was released. ^-^

on top of that, we have two gamestop here, so between my son and I each getting one at each place, That leaves me with two extras that id be willing to giveaway through trade if the codes dont work between countries. (we have both X and Y and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, so I should have plenty to give away)

I feel old too, especially since I was seven in 1998 and I've been a huge fan since! I STILL collect Pokemon cards! I just love the Korean  and Japanese sets!

I've mostly been freaking out over the plush they have been planning to release soon! Omg I wish I won the lottery so I could buy them all!

Its really cool they are doing events for legendary Pokemon! I don't like to cheat in Pokemon games with AR and I'm missing Arceus, and Shaymin so kinda excited!!!! Also I could use another Mew and Darkrai!

This omg this. I missed the D/P/P event and my husband (boyfriend at the time) forgot too! We were so mad LOL! Stupid shaymin. Why does it have to be so ADORABLE and unobtainable legit for so many years!? xD

Same with the Arceus event. So mad... Now I can finally get him!

*For foreigners! If you want, I can get extra cards for you and trade them over! I can use Hubby or roommates games LOL xD

Hmm... Actually need to go to a store for this. That could be tricky. (I don't drive and the nearest gamestop is half an hour away.) May have to either talk bf into us getting Ruby / Sapphire so we both have two games and he can get codes for me, or see if I can get some help here. If I tell family I wanna go to the city once a month for the rest of the year to download pokemon I'm gonna get some weird looks. :lol:

you can also use X and Y! Which is why Ill be getting 4 of each, 2 to keep (for my son and I) and 2 to give away, occasionally ill have 3 to giveaway, because I have some of these already. xD

Post by: ladybastilla on January 14, 2016, 04:28:30 AM
Yep, I know. :) It's just that he has Y and I have X, but we live 8 hours apart. So he would need to get Ruby or Sapphire so he has two of each pokemon--one for him and one for me.

I actually do live in the US. It's just that I can't drive, and can't be like "Hey, mom. Will you take me to Gamestop? I need to go there to download a Pokemon!" She'd be like "What, that again? I thought you got over that 15 years ago!". Lol.

You have to use the Mew cards by May so you can't wait too long. And some of these are on the Nintendo Network, including the next one (Celebi in March). So if you want them all, you may not want to put it off passed then.
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: Rainbowrific Renia on January 14, 2016, 08:57:45 AM
Wow... 20 years?! I feel old.

I'm not as attached to Gen 1 as most people, even though I started with Red version. I'm more of a Gen 2 girl (Johto4life), so if they ever released special 3DS's with Lugia and/or Ho-Oh faceplates, I'd probably sell my New 3DS XL in a heartbeat for one. :lol: As it stands, I'll admire the Charizard and Blastoise faceplates from afar. They look pretty cool.

A legendary being released each month is neat, though!

Also, am I the only one hoping for news on a new game this year? Either Z version (which absolutely NEEDS to happen) or teasers about a 7th gen. :P Having a new game come out during the 20th anniversary would be awesome, not counting Pokemon Go, which I'm also hoping to hear about sooner rather than later.

I'm super excited, but I'm also always worried that the UK will miss out, since we've been missing out on a lot of events lately!

I know that some Asda stores are already stocking the 20th Ann. Pikachu figures. Sadly, none of mine are though XD

Don't worry, you aren't. There from 2009-2014 we had a mainline Pokemon game almost every single year. I got very used to it, especially the way I played them (HG in 2011, Black in 2012, Black 2 in early 2013, X in fall of 2013, Omega Ruby in 2014). It became a bit of a tradition there for me.

I was sad when nothing came out last year, even though I'm sure most people were like "Give it a rest, already!"

Same! I know we had AS/OR from the previous year, but as someone who isn't a big fan of Gen 3, I was pretty bored with those games after I finished the main storyline. So I've been itching for something new from Pokemon for a while now. That's why I'm hoping Pokemon Go will be released soon!

I've also been looking at the merch that'll be released this year for the anniversary. Nothing of interest for me, personally, but I guess that means I'll be saving money in that regard- not that I need more Pokemon stuff. :lol:

Ooh! I misunderstood.  I thought you meant a card with a code for the game itself.  I'm just an in game collector (and plushies) I was never one for the cards.  Hopefully I will be able to get a console by April at least.

Ummm.... I think you may still be a bit confused. You get a card from Gamestop on it that has a code that lets you acquire the legendary pokemon (in this case Mew) for the game X, Y, OmegaRuby, or AlphaSapphire. It's not a trading card type card. It's just a card with a code, because really that makes more sense than having a bunch of people taking up the limited space inside the GameStop stores trying to download pokemon, like they used to. The card for Mew can only be gotten from GameStop in February, but the card can be activated (entered into the game to get the Mew) anytime until May.
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: ladybastilla on January 14, 2016, 08:09:17 PM
My bf is going to get Sapphire or Ruby so he can get two of each pokemon release. One thing we thought of is that even if the codes don't work internationally, shouldn't the pokemon still be tradable by normal means? Meaning those looking for them / those looking to help others could theoretically exchange friend codes to do that? Just a thought. Good luck everyone. :)

Oh I definitely agree about R/S/E being the weaker entries in the series. I think they had some great strong points: The region, the music, and the tweaks that really made gameplay a thousand times better such as the Pokemon PC box system. However, I just didn't like them as much... I think I really hated how they took away the day/night system and pressed a 'reset' button on the story, which I really enjoyed how G/S/C were sequels to R/B/Y.

I'm glad I'm not alone! Back in the day, it was actually the popular opinion, but somewhere down the line it seems like things changed drastically and R/S/E became VERY popular while G4 and G5 received a lot of hate I feel is undeserved.

One of my favorite pokemon games ever would have to be either Crystal version or Platinum! I played both hardcore and almost filled up the entire pokedex! =) I ran into so many shinies in Platinum and Soul Silver!!!! Pokemon Rumble (the first one!) I really loved too! I still have my old gamecube and N64 games! Someday I will collect every pokemon game ever released lol.

I always get so much crap for putting gens 5 and 6 above 3. 2 will always be my favorite for various reasons, but I truly and honestly just didn't get the hype for Gen 3 remakes. And I was very underwhelmed once I played the game. I've actually never played a Gen 4 game, so I can't judge them (that was during my off-time from Pokemon) and I didn't get back into the series until Soul Silver, which is still my favorite game.

Oooh, speaking of which! You know what would be amazing for them to incorporate into a new game? Pokemon walking behind you again! That was probably the best gimmick ever.

I really do think it'd be neat for them to release a new game of some sort this year, for the 20th anniversary of the franchise. Like... Pokemon Snap for the Wii U is a thing that needs to happen, just sayin'. :lol: I just want them to go all out with merchandise and things like that for the anniversary. I'm looking forward to any more announcements about what they plan to do this year.

So if I was to go out and buy one of the new games for this event (the newest one I have is Pokemon Black) and I do have at least one game from each generation up to that point, which game would you recommend?  Alpha, Omega, X or Y?  (Keeping in mind that I have the original Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald games.)

I'm a little biased, so I'd say X or Y. I really think those games were a lot of fun, but I'm sure lots of people would tell you to get AS or OR. I'd say if you absolutely loved Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, then get the remakes. X and Y are really nice if you have any interest at all in the newer Pokemon and getting to explore a new region. If you're only getting a newer game for the legendary Pokemon events, I guess it doesn't really matter much.
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!

Woo hoo! You've tapped into my current "peak" special interest!!


Er, if I had to choose between Kalos and Hoenn I'm always going to do Hoenn.
What can I say? I'm biased. It's my favorite generation and the one I grew up on (next to the Kanto anime of course.)

Personally, I'm super excited for the rereleases of Red, Blue and Yellow to come out.
I've always wanted to complete the very first Pokemon games and for some reason, it's easier to keep my attention on a console than on an emulator.
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: melodys_angel on January 16, 2016, 10:10:10 AM
They each have their own perks..and are very different.

Ill say, sapphire did a VERY good job adding new content to make it worth playing through if you've played the original--and its got one of the highest density of legendary pokemon that's obtainable in game ive ever seen.

I tried to put in my Y yesterday and went @.o okie I forget where to go and what to do.  There are a lot of pokemon that you cant get in Ruby/Sapphire that you can in X/Y (like the kanto starters) so it might be worth getting both.  ETA: you do get a bunch of starters from different regeios in ruby/sapphire though..just not kanto and..like, 1 or 2 more areas?)

I remember liking the different versions of a single pokemon in Y.  Different types of 'fields' make it interesting.  You can also customize your character.
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: Princess Lala on January 16, 2016, 08:03:45 PM
The customizable character thing was mostly what I enjoyed in X and Y! I like the little me running around in roller skates! I wasn't too big on the story, but other gameplay was fun. I like how you could chain fishing near a rock and you can find shinies easier!  :biggrin:

One thing I really loved in D/P/Plat was that you can get pretty much all the little fossils and stones by mining! Those little mini games were fun! Also a lot of legendaries and they included I think just about almost every Pokemon in the game to be seen for the pokedex- easier to find Pokemon on the GTS!
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: True on January 16, 2016, 08:15:48 PM
I would suggest getting XY just because its the newer generation, where ORAS is kinda like a reboot (i think that's the right word xD)

I do like the oras games, don't get me wrong. But if you're looking at getting into the new style of the games, id say XY just because, like some said, more "new" pokemon, and fun options, I love how safari works in XY, the character physical and clothing customizing is really cute, you don't get that in ORAS unfortunately. I STILL play X xD its kinda what I consider my go to, for my pokemon collection.
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: Pokeyonekenobie on January 16, 2016, 09:31:07 PM
Okay so either X or Y seems to be the consensus.  Are there major differences in those games like how Black and White had different areas (Black City & White Forest) or are they more like the older games where the only difference is which pokemon you could catch?

Theyre the same, with a couple exclusive pokemon between the games.

Woot Woot! *high five all the way* Johto girls FTW! xP I may have been introduced to Pokemon at Gen 1, played the cards and had almost all 151 toys.... but Silver/Gold/Crystal will ALWAYS be my favorite!!! The games....just wow. They feel like home to me. I just love the Japanese atmosphere in that game! I would so want to live on the Whirl Islands and Ectruteak city would be my weekend party place LOL! Crystal was like the best game ever! I'm also a hardcore fan of Soul Silver, I even almost completed the Dex besides Shaymin and Arceus!

I also agree with the Pokemon following you! And the PokeWalker! Bring it back!!!! I actually excersised a LOT with that thing in hopes of getting those rare items and Pokemon! Them Dive Balls- I would jog a mile every morning at the park to get one until I had enough to capture Lugia because I had to have it in a Dive Ball!  It also got hubby outdoors and gave him an excuse to go jogging! We still have our Pokewalkers, I just love em'  :blush:

I would actually love another Gen 2 game, maybe with a totally different storyline and add in the newer Pokemon! Give older pokemon seasonal appearances! Give it seasons and a calendar with numbered days like Animal Crossing so we can have Johto festivals based of ones like in Japan! *dies imagining Ecruteak in autumn with Japanese maple trees* OMG Gamefreak make this girl's wish come true! :heart:

Oh I definitely agree about R/S/E being the weaker entries in the series. I think they had some great strong points: The region, the music, and the tweaks that really made gameplay a thousand times better such as the Pokemon PC box system. However, I just didn't like them as much... I think I really hated how they took away the day/night system and pressed a 'reset' button on the story, which I really enjoyed how G/S/C were sequels to R/B/Y.

I'm glad I'm not alone! Back in the day, it was actually the popular opinion, but somewhere down the line it seems like things changed drastically and R/S/E became VERY popular while G4 and G5 received a lot of hate I feel is undeserved.

I always get so much crap for putting gens 5 and 6 above 3. 2 will always be my favorite for various reasons, but I truly and honestly just didn't get the hype for Gen 3 remakes. And I was very underwhelmed once I played the game. I've actually never played a Gen 4 game, so I can't judge them (that was during my off-time from Pokemon) and I didn't get back into the series until Soul Silver, which is still my favorite game.

Oooh, speaking of which! You know what would be amazing for them to incorporate into a new game? Pokemon walking behind you again! That was probably the best gimmick ever.

I really do think it'd be neat for them to release a new game of some sort this year, for the 20th anniversary of the franchise. Like... Pokemon Snap for the Wii U is a thing that needs to happen, just sayin'. :lol: I just want them to go all out with merchandise and things like that for the anniversary. I'm looking forward to any more announcements about what they plan to do this year.

Generation II has long been my favorite, too. Especially Crystal, because we were finally able to choose a female trainer. G/S/C also had great music. I loved the addition of day/night, and the little things, like being able to have small amounts of furniture in the home. It kind of feels like it led me up to finding one of my favorite series ever: Animal Crossing.

Anyway, the Pokemon following feature never won me over. In fact, I'd rather not have to see it again unless it is optional. I've found Pokemon Amie to be a thousand times better in cute interactions with Pokemon. It's repetitive and all, but not like the Pokemon following feature was anything more substantial or varied.

In regards to Pokemon Snap, I would not really be interested in it, unless they took the idea to a whole new level, dropped the on-rails gameplay, and made it a free adventure throughout a vast land with ALL Pokemon. That would be a game I would like to see... But Pokemon Snap as it was on the N64, it's not substantial enough to catch my interest again.

Man I hope this works.

I have a whole box full of pokemon to transfer from Y to OS.  I don't have pokemon bank (im sorry.  If I buy something its mine! None of this 'pay us this much each month or year', even if it is a service)

Im going ot punk my sisters DS and see if I can use it to do the transfer.

Both games are updated and shes on my friends list so it should go through>>

Post by: thesugarpuppie on January 19, 2016, 09:06:52 PM

Ooh! I misunderstood.  I thought you meant a card with a code for the game itself.  I'm just an in game collector (and plushies) I was never one for the cards.  Hopefully I will be able to get a console by April at least.

Ummm.... I think you may still be a bit confused. You get a card from Gamestop on it that has a code that lets you acquire the legendary pokemon (in this case Mew) for the game X, Y, OmegaRuby, or AlphaSapphire. It's not a trading card type card. It's just a card with a code, because really that makes more sense than having a bunch of people taking up the limited space inside the GameStop stores trying to download pokemon, like they used to. The card for Mew can only be gotten from GameStop in February, but the card can be activated (entered into the game to get the Mew) anytime until May.

Yeah, I didn't even realize they did that now.  The last time I did one of the Pokemon events was Black/White for Victini and we just went in to get it over wifi which is what threw me off.

I had to update my sisters DS but it worked out (and I got to see what was in my safari since it 'updated' the friends list..as wellas punked the safaris of her other friends and my brother, who is a brat and wont give me his code.

Kind of a pain though.  Atleast it worked.

Trying to complete the ORAS dex..I find it odd how there are a few that you don't naturally see or cant catch in there..like the third starter you and your rival (wait..friend) doesn't pick, the other version of the games legendaries, or the other Lati.

I asked a friend to get me the starter I haven't seen but it might take a bit, and I might have to bug my brother to 'show me' the other lati/legendary since he has ruby just to complete the stupid thing.

Other thing I really don't get..why people give away pokemon that look like they may be hacked in wonder trade or gts.  I don't have pokemon bank so it doesn't effect me but I feel bad for those that rely on pokemon bank to shift their pocket monsters between games.

Which starter? I have all 3 final evolutions Kanto-Hoenn, Torterra, Samurott, Serperior, Chesnaught and Greninja so if it's related to one of those lines I'd be glad to breed one for you to keep. :3

^^^^ The GTS really helps with Pokemon you don't have! I recondmend hatching eggs of your starter Pokemon and using them for the GTS! Offer them for Pokemon you need but would be a fair trade! I do this this sometimes, I've always gotten starter trades!
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: melodys_angel on January 21, 2016, 11:19:46 AM
Oh, umm...

For the Hoenn Pokedex its just treeko and its evolutions, then latios, Groudon, the 3 regis (I haven't started the quest to open up their areas yet..im kind of scared ill 1 shot them like I did deoxys ><) and Jirachi--but im not concerned about this one since they are giving one away later this year.

Ill have to go back in Y and start to capture or transfer pokemon over.  The gts only works if you've seen a pokemon before so its hard to get something from another region, and with wondertrade its pretty much50/50 if you get something that isn't dead common (I usually whenI have them on hand throw out hatchlings of pokemon I needed the baby forms of for pokedex).

Wish I had access to my Pearl.  I want my articuno ._. But I refuse to get pokemon bank.

Actually, you can type in the name of any pokemon you want in the GTS and get it that way. You just have to know how to spell it. I'll pull my game out later and see what I can dig up for you though, if you like. I just have to finish the laundry first.

Woohoo, thanks! I will definitely be going in to get my Pokemon on the first of each month. And then possibly on the 24th to see if they forgot that they already gave me one. :P Of course, everyone that works at my local Gamestop knows me so they'll be onto my tricks.

I just don't like how its dealt with--id rather own something once I get it where possible :)  Its just a personal thing for me.

That and I did a bit of poking around..pearl may not even beable to connect with it..it might be too old a game.

Its alright..ill eventually get there.

I'm trying to decide which Pokemon to have in my party for Pokemon X and I'll admit it--I'm overwhelmed. Between potential Pokemon and things like nature, moves, etc. there is a lot going on. At this point I've only got my first badge, but I like to think ahead about which Pokemon I want to use in the long run so I can start leveling them right away. The way XP works with the new shard helps a lot, but I'm not big on endless rounds of grinding. I chose Fenniken as my starter and got Bulbasaur as my Kanto pokemon. I'm also playing with Panpour and Pikachu right now.

I haven't played a pokemon game since Diamond, but all this pokemon anniversary hype got me really nostalgic.  :lovey:

 I was tempted to buy a pokemon limited N3ds (seems like a pretty good deal when you take into account the two digital games and two faceplates) Anyone here getting it? :)

In the end I decided to get back into to pokemon buy buying a used 3ds instead, and buying Red version when it comes out in the estore.  Plus I want either X/Y or ORAS for the pokemon events!

I started back up playing X three days ago.  As of right now- excluding Darkrai, Shaymin, and Arceus- I am only missing 14 Pokemon to complete national Dex!!!!!! :party:

Excited to get my shiny charm and chain for shinies! I strung 147 pikachus and broke my chain because husband plopped down on the tatami mats and surprised me! I was so sad... x( He went up and got me ice cream as a sorry!  :icecream:

For your initial go to party, just go with the pokemon that you naturally get that are varied enough to beable to learn the moves you need to take down any element type.  You should be fine with what you have now.

I know for me I didn't have to grind at all..mine were actually a good 10-20 levels higher in most cases due to events that had to be completed before I could access the next gym.

IV...I haven't dabbled in that. At all.  Theres a thingy in ORAS that lets you see potential including pokemon with indexes that are up but honestly? Dabble with it AFTER the E4.  You can test things out by rechallenging them, and there are trainers that you can battle daily/the mansion that has chains and trainers.

Once you have that covered, you should have more pokemon open to you and you can toy around with training in another group of 6--1 or 2 at a time.

Right now im looking into trying to 'own' or 'see' as many as I can..which means going back and forth between my 2 games and hoping the GTS goes through.

It will take a bit.  I normally don't catch pokemon I don't like so this time around I am then sending those off.

I think it depends on the store, we have two. The store that I favor, The people are pretty cool and the manager knows I have a son, so I can go in and ask for 2 and they'll usually give them to me. The other store will only give one out per person. But I imagine they dont keep track of how often you visit a store.

Power save is a cheating device and can make events without going to the actual event. Making them hacked.
I'm a huge event collector and people trade these like candy for people who don't know better. I've seen people trade really good Pokémon for power save dated Pokémon.

Well, I had to go to the bank so popped my head in and I ended up getting the card.  Didn't ask for 2 but I brought my dad with me so atleast my brother has one now.  The girl (I know her from years ago but I don't think she recognized me) was just organizing them.

So, I guess wait a few days before redeeming the code?

How am I just now seeing this topic? xD

Ugh I wish the GS stores near me had the LE Mew plush.  :cry: I do recall seeing a special yellow Pikachu plush at TRU or Walmart (it was like a light yellow color and had small pikachu prints all over it), and thought it was adorable.

My bf went today. The first GameStop had no cards and the second would only give him one. We are going to try a different GameStop in the next few days to try and get our second code. If you want these, act as quick as you can. Nintendo is well known for not sending enough stock of special items. Good luck, everyone.
The first GS I went to today only got in 100 of the cards, and this store is actually the busiest store in the district/city IIRC. I went this morning to stop at my two GSs and managed to get five of them (two each for me and my boyfriend, and an extra in case someone else needs it).

I assume they will restock at least a few more times during the promo, but dont wait too long to get Mew.

And a heads up: if you go to a GameStop and they're telling you that you have to buy/preorder something in order to get the card, that's not alllowed and the store can get in trouble for it.  Mew is free and dont let them tell you otherwise.

whoa yea if places are telling you you need to preorder or something... thats crazy! I heard a lot of GS stuff broke some rules a few years back, so a lot of them lost midnight release privileges for pokemon stuff! Luckily my favorite  store is a pretty cool place. :)

That's interesting how different Gamestop locations handle these events.

I went to my local one this afternoon to grab a code. I was worried if I waited too long they would run out lol. I was at the counter, about to ask if maybe I could have a second one, when the woman behind the counter goes "We never run out of these, so you can have a bunch!" And then she handed me 6!

Stopped at my local GameStop today to get my card.  They were only handing out one per person, but there's another one in the next town over.  It's a really small town (the biggest store there is Walmart) so I'm betting they won't run out of cards too fast.  If I can get there I'll try to get an extra card.  Maybe we should set up a list of who needs one or something because the cards are available until the 24th but you can redeem them until May 31st.

The code should work, if it like how past code event pokemon were.
I know people on Reddit have been giving away codes for International people and i hadnt seen anyone mention it.

Now if it was a code that requires eShop activation, then it wouldnt work.

I do in fact! I'll PM you the code shortly.

Ok down to 2 codes left. I can possibly get more if these Mews find homes, since we still have 2 GameStops we haven't hit yet. Unfortunately (or fortunately perhaps) too many employees know us at most of these stores so hitting them a second time is likely not possible. But we do have a couple stores left so... Yeah. I don't want to get too many and not use them though because I don't want anyone in town to miss out because I'm hoarding cards no one uses.

From what I possibly learned on Reddit, GS stores were only sent one or two Mews plushes.
This bugs me, since you can get Pikachu at other stores (even if its a variant position or that TRU exclusive one), but Mew is an exclusive to GameStop. You'd think they'd make more of them due to how popular Mew is, especially for Mew month.

I hope it's not an amiibo situation all over again. Dx

Ugh, that makes absolutely no sense. No offense to the Pikachu lovers- but Pikachu gets merch aaaaaallll the freakin' time, so it was nice to see something special for a different Pokemon...of course that's the limited one. Go figure. :pout:

They are having a LE metallic plush of each legendary event pokemon during their month! If you miss out on mew, there will be 11 others! I think next month is Arceus? There are also fgures with balls at GS!

Alright! I wil definetly keep my eye out! They are $16- just a heads up! But its kinda big! Goomy might stick around a little bit, he is only about $7.

I have to wait for my friend James to get off school and I can go! The boys have the cars waaaaaah I feel so useless sitting here texting them! I want out into the ßhopping centers! I want that 4 piece figure set sooooo bad! I know its out there argh!

Tell me about it. Dx And since many stores put the plushes out the second they came in (last week), many people missed out on them. Do they seriously think Mew wouldnt sell or something? They should know better than that and made more of them. I hope they get a restock soon because if its seriously just only that first shipment, I am not looking forward to whenever Jirachi and Darkrai month comes along. Dx  (A person on reddit mentioned that their GS wasnt getting in anymore when they asked an employee and saw the "how many are on the way" page on their computer screen/system).

20th anniversary or not, it's no excuse to make Mew that limited.

GS exclusives seem to frequently be really scarce. For instance, they have pretty much ALL Funko Mystery Minis (including MLP) at most GS stores I've been to, but none of them have the FALLOUT mystery minis, which had GS exclusive figures! Sooooo laaaaame.

I feel so spoiled.... I have at least 7 in my area. Texas, at least my area above Dallas, is very very smart the way the cities are set up- they are all built along the highway and the cities run horizontally so I can pass by like 6 cities in 18 minutes or so because the highway runs north to south LOL.

sadly havnt found any more Mew plush Mbs, I am frantic trying to help you find one! We called 4 other gamestops- two in Plano, another in Allen, and one in Frisco and now luck =( One employee even said they are might be sold out in the district and the two mew plush they did have sold out the first day they got them in!

Here is my haul so far, including the special edition 20th anniversary pikachu from TRU! (not to be confused with the crepe/pokepuff pikachu who looks similar!)

 My mew plush- leaving him MIB! We bought special wall hooks and Mew is hanging from the wall. We plan on hanging the other LE 20th anniversary plush we buy in the future  next to him on the wall from the left over hooks! I hope to find Shaymin, Manaphy, and Jirachi!

Only ONE Gamstop had the Mew TOMY figure with the greatball, they come in a case of 9 each and are $10.81 per toy! They are limit one per customer just like the code cards. The pokeball and toy are both pearly/metallic!

The 20th anniversary piakchu came out to be $27 at TRU!

Yeah I figure ill ask for either shaymin or one of the non printed pickachus for my birthday since its int he summer and I strange enough don't have a pokemon plush o.o

My sister has a few though and I was tempted to try to get her one for her birthday.

I guess we will see if mew is still there if I manage to go some time this week.  If not, im sure she wouldn't mind another pickachu^^

Plush comes out to be a little over $17 where I live, figure was $10.81 total!

Maaan im so bummed today. Did not find any of the 4 figure Pikachu sets but TRU had the metallic pikachu with pokeball. Also no one has anything mew left except the cards.

I DID however score something today! Target is selling event pokemon pokedolls, today I found Darkrai and Hoopa but I bought just Darkrai since he is a cutie! He was expensive, like $16 and he is so small.

Okay, I went to GS tonight and got my Mew card (they only gave me 1 but I'm planning to go to another GS to get another). My GS did have the Mew plush, but I didn't get it because, frankly, I wasn't all that impressed by it. They also had a whole set of those Great Ball toys, but I didn't get one... might go back for it, though. And then I got a huge haul of other awesome stuff, including Celestia and Luna Funko MMs and a Spider-Gwen comic. :D

BF got me my Mew code after work, so we're both good for February. :) We still need to redeem it, but we've got time and from what he's telling me servers are acting strange. (Or is that just his wifi?) Either way, we should be all set for now. :)

That's not a bad price for the plushies and figures. I couldn't afford all of them--especially if I end up needing help--but I'll definitely be interested when Shaymin becomes available.

I'm going to hit up my gamestop tomorrow to see if the mew plush is there but I highly doubt it.

I read in the reddit thread about them that only two mews and two pikachus would be shipped to each store which seems like it really isn't enough even for a limited edition item. I'd really like to get it, I love mew  :cry:

Thank you again!  Mew is such a cutie and I'm happy to have one to pet and feed on Amie.

I'm hoping all this 20th anniversary hype will bring back my love for Pokemon, I'm wanting to restart and try giving X another chance (after finding someone to hold some Pokemon for me before I restart, of course). I can't wait for Celebi next month and all the rest to follow. I'm so curious to see all this merch in person too, it must be so fun to walk into stores and be flooded with new Pokemon stuff.

So I got my shiny tag and I've been fishing up shinies. It's so fun and relaxing. I will definitely get another Mew, just because I like Mew. I don't really need another one, though, so when I pick up a code card I plan on sharing it.

OMG huuuuge congrats! Its it an amazing feeling!? *shows my own twinkly shiny charm to show Shugar Glider* You will definetly find shinies if you chain! So far in less than a week I have found these 5 shinies: pikachu, eevee, Skitty, and swablu. I found a golden magikarp too....eh but idk if he really counts since he is so easy to find already with old rod xD

I have been thinking about making real-like shiny charm keychains with some embroidery cord, a cell phone tasle, and some clay! That way when Pokemon Go comes out haha I will look like a total dork xD

Congrats! Having the shiny charm is so wroth it! I have quite a bunch myself.
But the best way to find shiny Pokémon IMO is horde hunting. Just have a Pokémon with the move sweet scent, use it, then normally you will run into a horde of Pokémon. If no shiny run away and repeat. I've even run into two shiny Pokémon in one horde.

I went to 5 Gamestops today.... no luck with plush but I did score some Johto starters on can epic clearance sale! $10 for a three pack and $3 for a single! x3

I did get this awesome honey today though at a Target! Its awesome because I keep hearing Mew and Jirachi are the hardest ones to find! I also have a Darkrai Pokédoll too!

Maaaajor congrats Pikashoes!!!! I've never seen a double shiny in a horde! Thanks for sharing the picture eeek! :inlove: I agree. Every shiny hunter has GOT to get ahold of the shiny charm! It helps a crazy amount and its so actually worth the hunt! No shiny hunter should go without one! Forget MM, cheating, and soft resets LOL! Its so easy in ORAS and X/Y! Currently chaining for shiny Jigglypuffs! x3

I saw your post about the cost, I was just curious about the shipping.  ;) With my luck, I won't find any anniversary stuff this year (expect Pikachu of course).

There are two GameStop's near my job, but they never have anything. There are 3 other ones not too far from me, but I can only get out there on the weekends. And I'm not entirely sure I'm willing to go to the other side of Pittsburgh to look unless I have another reason to go aaaalll the way out there, haha.

Nooooo don't give up! You will find something other than pikachu!  Maybe they will ship out more Mew plush? There is always that possibility!  Its still the beginning for the month and I won't give up my search! Im surprised all of my gamestops don't have any plush left. I'm still going to pester them every week!  :biggrin:

I'm excited because next month is Celebi! I did some research and found that celebi merch might be sold at both Gamestop AND Toys R Us since its a WiFi mystery gift Pokemon. So far all I know is Celebi merch is coming to TRU!

This website has more info! I had no idea they are re-releasing the movies! I own almost all of them but aaaah very excited anyways! Also eeeek Champion Red Nendoroid! *Also Blue (Gary) and Red (Ash) nendoroid announced!

Legendary Pokemon monthly merchandise:
http://www.pokemon20.com/en-us/mythical.html
More mercandise for this year:
http://www.pokemon20.com/en-us/products.html

*Walmart will be getting the winking pikachu graphic design plush and those golden pikachu figure 4pack sets!

Also DONT FORGET ABOUT POKÉMON DAY AT TOYS R US! My sister in law who works there reminded me! On Feb 27th some TRU stores are handing out posters and you get a booster pack or a promo card with pikachu or a magikarp....something like that?

@ MoonbeamStar
Don't give up!
They definitely will ship out more, my GS stores were all sold out of them. Yesterday I called they just unpacked 2, I managed to grab one, I couldn't get the other cause one per person. When I saw that mew was being sold I called everyday, cause when I want something and know its hard to find, I'm pretty determined.
Try calling your local GS ask to know if they will be getting another shipment or to see what other stores close by might have. My GSs get their shipments around 11:45, so maybe it will be the same with yours?

@ Princess Lala
Le gasp! How much was the mew plush keychain! I must know!
Crazy how much luck your having with pokemon merch XP

EDIT:
Just called my local Target and he had no idea what I was talking about lol.

The Mew petite pokédoll plush was $10, expensive, but if you buy it on Pokemon Center for $7 and shipping is like $5 its cheaper to find it at Target! I called a few Targets too- no one has any idea what I am talking about. The employees dont really understand Pokemon Center merchandise because it isn't sold outside Japan, Nintendo World, or Epcot often. They got them confused with the TOMY ones. They usually try to ask for a UPC but thing is they are an assortment. Best way to find the Pokédolls is to go there in person, look on endcaps for THIS:

I bought that Mew and Darkrai! x3 Über kawaiiiiiii! I also have that same Diancie haha should have waited. On payday I'm going back up and probably buying Zoroark! Also those pricetags are crazy tricky. The pokedolls are $16 and the x-large megas are $19. Clip-on plush are like $10.

Thanks and I honestly feel very lucky to have found all of this stuff in person! Texas has just so much awesome.
-----------------------------------------
Yes, don't give up! Pester the math out of GameStop everyyyyy day! They should totally get more in soon!

Humm..

2 days ago I did a serach on store locators for mew and there was only 1 available in all of Canada.  Then I saw a tweet saying more would be shipped int he next day(yesterday).

I sent my BF over to check on his way back from work and one 1 store had 6 mews.  He ended up getting a mew for someones birthday (Kiwi you will NOT let her know!) and a pika for me :)

So, atleast in Canada, they are restocking.  Just keep an eye out on the EB Games/Gamestop website.  I saw the tweet posted on the edge page (was looking at upgrading mine).


Now, for those that want me to go hunting for you--youre out of luck.  Not only am I unable to really go anywhere, a) the plushies here are $24 before taxes (that's to our 'lovely' govt! *grumbles* and b) shipping something like that out would cost a small fortune im sure.

OMG huuuuge congrats! Its it an amazing feeling!? *shows my own twinkly shiny charm to show Shugar Glider* You will definetly find shinies if you chain! So far in less than a week I have found these 5 shinies: pikachu, eevee, Skitty, and swablu. I found a golden magikarp too....eh but idk if he really counts since he is so easy to find already with old rod xD

I have been thinking about making real-like shiny charm keychains with some embroidery cord, a cell phone tasle, and some clay! That way when Pokemon Go comes out haha I will look like a total dork xD

It feels like a major accomplishment, like the best thing I have done since getting my MFA degree lol!
And you should totally make those charms!

Congrats! Having the shiny charm is so wroth it! I have quite a bunch myself.
But the best way to find shiny Pokémon IMO is horde hunting. Just have a Pokémon with the move sweet scent, use it, then normally you will run into a horde of Pokémon. If no shiny run away and repeat. I've even run into two shiny Pokémon in one horde.

Thanks for the tip! I will try that tonight. :)

I even took a picture of the double shiny horde.

Here is a bunch of shiny luck for you!

Yay, shiny luck!! I got a shiny Nosepass last night using the horde method. If you get a double shiny horde, you can only get one, right? How do you choose which to catch?

My local GS had an 8" Mew doll today.  It's still there because I didn't want it.  I'm not big on most plush, though.  They didn't have the 2" Mew w/Pokeball, which I was looking for.  I wanted to see them in person before I get one, just to make sure it's what I really want.  They told me to check back because they were expecting a huge shipment of stuff.  So keep checking your stores for the stuff you want.  They just might get it.

Well, I haven't gotten any of the current merch, but I made a quick stop at Goodwill today and found a fairly old Pikachu plush! Score! I'm not a huge fan of Pikachu, but I don't dislike him and I found the plush for just $1. :D

Of course!  :biggrin: I will keep an eye out! I'm already helping other members out so why not!? :P Just let me know!

I don't think I could choose between a double shiny horde. It would be SOOOO painful to make one faint, even if there is another one. Why can't we catch both!? *cries*

I'm chaining for shiny absol for a friend! I hope I get lucky OMG! I'm at 127 right now.

It's really rare to get 2 in one horde, but hey you never know! Hope you can get more shinnies! Its worth the reward!
Also sadly yes, you can only catch one :(

Not too into the plush, they only had the pickachu anyway. Shaymins the only plush ill be fighting for lol.

Nothing!? O.o that's so crazyyyy! I will throw a little luck your way! You probably don't want the TRU and Walmart pikachu merch or Pokédolls at Target but did you find anything in your area? There's got to be more somewhere!

Maybe its because you dislike Pikachu that's why you only run into him :lmao: Its the same story with me but with mew- I wasn't really hunting for him I mostly wanted pikachu exclusives!

I'm convinced that's what it is. I've also vowed to never ever actively buy anything Pikachu, so it's just like I'm being made fun of when all I see is Pikachu, Pikachu, Pikachu... I mean, this is the 20th anniversary guys, there are at least 150 other Pokemon who deserve recognition too! :( I would love to see more anniversary merch for the original starters, or more of the 1st gen legendaries. It'd feel more like a celebration of the games that came out 20 years ago as a whole, and not just one Pokemon.

I mean, it's the beginning of the year, so maybe there's more to come, but seeing the same Pokemon everywhere all the time and not being a fan of said Pokemon makes me feel really crappy.

Also, went to 3 other GameStops today...nothing. I'm so sad right now. :cry:

I at least got my code for Mew.

edit: Has anyone else seen the other metallic legendary plushies on eBay from China? :lol: I was looking for a Mew (but people are selling it for way too much) and happened across some Chinese sellers who already have Darkrai and Celebi up...they're cute!

^^ OMG congrats on finding set two of the metallic figures!!!! I bought the set i posted a picture of last night, one more to go!!!!! Aaahhh i really want the heart eye and pecha berry ones!

^ awwwwwe Mbs I saw you posted something here and i rushed to look of you had found any mew stuff! I was so excited aaah but I know deep down you will find something! You should totally cave and  buy pikachu, he might be a good luck charm! xD I agree though, I want the other 150 pokemons to have merch!!!!! Especially Lapras, Dratini-line, and eevee! Theres more  l :heart: Eievui stuff coming out but its not anniversary goodies. I have seen the other plush being sold! Its awesome but i want it in the zipper bed comfprter-style bag! Im glad ebay is always an option!

Im buying that i love eievui mug omg.

Post by: MilkyTaroMochi on February 06, 2016, 03:23:37 PM
I do wish we had more merch of the other pokemon besides Pikachu all of the time. He is the mascot and all but sheesh. Heck, you know who needs some merchandise? Raichu. Everyone forgets about him. :(
Part of me does want the Pikachu figures but I'd only want like one or two of them. xD

You know, if they were smart, for the anniversary they'd release a HUGE Lapras and Snorlax plush. Like the ones you could decorate in your room in some of the games (Johto, iirc).


Random fact: Today is Mewtwo's birthday.  :biggrin:

Are the Mew's from GameStop codes on cards, or are they something where you have to physically go there with your system to get? The reason I ask is because one of the stores near me that was in the mall closed down and the other is closed as well because they're getting ready to move to a bigger location. So I might end up missing Mew, and he's one of the few Pokemon I don't have. If it's just a card, can someone pick me up one and PM me the code?
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! [Catch Mew@Gamestop Now!]

Don't like the other one, even though  I find it cute the way they spell eevee is like how the pokemon says its name.

I am so strange. Whenever I see the golden pikachu anniversary plush....I think of the taste of McDonalds fries. It just happens on its own, I think its because he is golden like fried potatos. I'm looking at a picture of the plushie online and I can totally taste them LOL so random what the heck. Now I must get fries....and that plush eventually. I'm eating Knotts Berry Farm cookies....I taste fries over the cookies when I look at the pikachu O.o

Yesterday I went to a different GS to try to get a second code card and they were ALL OUT! It's ridiculous how busy some GS stores are and how they can run out of something like that so quickly, but then other stores expect to still have cards in stock at the end of the promotion...
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! [Catch Mew@Gamestop Now!]
Post by: True on February 08, 2016, 10:47:59 AM
Yeah it's a bit odd. The gs store I go to most, gave me 3 the first day, I went in yesterday and they still had a bunch. But the one in the mall was only giving one out, in fact they wouldn't even give me one, because they gave one to my son. But I guess since it's in a mall, There must be more people showing up? But my prefered store is bigger also so maybe that's why they get more? Who knows.
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! [Catch Mew@Gamestop Now!]
Post by: MilkyTaroMochi on February 08, 2016, 11:13:14 AM
The first GS I went to that opening day told me they only got in 100 Mew cards and is the busiest store in the area, so maybe some stores got an amount depending on how busy they normally are?
Plus a lot of them are aware that people have been getting as many cards as possible (be it for every single version of their games, for friends who can't make it, to resell, ect.), so they are putting a limit on them. Some of them, at least.

If your store runs out of cards they can re-order, so if they say they don't have any left, ask them to order more. :) I think every store was initially given 150 cards.

Have you tried calling in and seeing if they might get a shipment of them?
Please don't pay eBay prices, its ridicules what they are going for. They look huge in the pictures but in hand are pretty small. Like 5 inches?

Ask for the manager at any Gamestop, then ask for them to order a Mew from another store. I'm sure they can find one for you! Last I checked there were two Mews left at my store (meaning no one had even bought one), so there's likely a store in your general area that still has one! I would buy one for you from my store, but I'm low on funds right now. Sorry! Maybe if you still don't have one when I get paid I can check and see if my store still has them...

But yeah, if the store manager is nice enough, you can get pretty much anything from another store. I got some super rare Fallout Funko Mystery Minis because my store's manager called and ordered some. Those things go for over $100 on Ebay because there are so few of them! So yeah, bug the manager. :D

Wow, weird. One GS I went to had run out of cards, but they had just ordered more! Sounds like someone at your store was being lazy. :/

I was out of town and didn't get to GameStop until the 7th. I managed to get my store's last mew code! Since then I picked X back up, I'd forgotten how long these games were.

Did Gamestop restock the plushies at all? Like EB games in Canada?

You may just need to stay ontop of it.

It's not one store. It's the entire state 0.o Apparently here they order but never know if they will ever come. Weird because Utah has been declared the nerdiest state in the USA.

Are you sure?

Like I said, there were 6 plushies at the store my BF went to--and that was after they announced they would be restocking.

He also went in after work so there could had been more.

I was really looking forward to having a big lineup of all the mythical pokemon toys on my shelf xD

So I can confirm that Gamestops ARE RESTOCKING. I stopped by one today that I went to last week and they had more Pikachu in- but no mew yet! They are on back order  :cry:

In Florida my stores they are SUPER tiny, I got my mew plush when they restocked. Lucky enough I called when they were unboxing them.

Hey guys, have you seen that new Pokemon movie teaser!? There's two new Pokemon and one of them is absolutely adorable!!! Magiana I think!? She looks like a fusion of Diancie and Jenny from Teenage Robot! Also the other legendary in the movie poster...its a water and fore type!? Wonder what its weak against!

The ONE think I'm MOST psyched for about that movie is that shiny Gardevoir! I have one in my game and its one of my favorite team Pokemon EVER! So childish little me is pretending thats my pokemon going to appear on the big screen LOL! x3 I'm ordering a box of the Poke Kyun collection to get that card with shiny gardevoir on it!
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! [Catch Mew@Gamestop Now!]
Post by: MilkyTaroMochi on February 12, 2016, 02:21:51 AM
Yeah I saw it too, and I look forward to learning more about Magiana! She looks pretty cute! Some people think she could have a relation to the pokemon Klink (like how Carbink is to Diancie). 

The other pokemon is Volcanion, and it's weak to Electric, Ground, and Rock, which is actually pretty good considering its typing doesnt give it a 4x weakness to anything. :D
Funny thing is, Volcanion is a Gen 6 pokemon that's been hidden in the game data, along with (previously) Diancie and Hoopa.

One of the things I like about new Pokemon movies coming out, is the nee movie related merchandise! Especially those cute and neat-o JPN gashapon/capsule toys! One of the favorites that I have is a set of those mini gashapon machines for Diancie, Pikachu(? IIRC- too lazy to get up and look lol), Yveltal, and Xerneas. and they actually work, too. xD
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! [Catch Mew@Gamestop Now!]
Post by: Princess Lala on February 12, 2016, 04:39:15 AM
^ I remember it being leaked back with hoopa and diancie! its so cool we get to finally see it in Sugimori art. xD I really love that little Magiana (is it pronoucned "maggie- onna") that was revealed! Total surprise! I like that its little "dress" is shaped like a pokeball and I wonder if it can do anything!  I wonder if its going to be a gen 6 pokemon we can get in our XYORAS pokedex or for a new game! Ive been daydreaming about drawing it with diancie all night but im not that artistic lol.

I also saw pictures recently of a baby Zygarde figure that is clear and sparkily awwwe it looks so cute! Cant wait to see that movie too! =)

I wish the US would get more of the Zukan and Gashapon capsule toys! I would blow a whole paycheck on those! I know Canada got some, my friend on the west coast got a shiny suicune Zukan for the zorua movie!

Ooh, the new movie sounds great! I love Gardevoir, so that'll be really exciting! I need to catch up on the other movies -- I haven't seen all of the most recent ones, and the first few movies I haven't seen in yeeeeears. Thankfully (I think?) they're finally re-releasing the first movie! I could also just rent it on Amazon right now if I wanted to...

Oh, they are popular here, too!  The first restock and every single mew was sold out in ALL of Canada--except for 1 single mew in another province ;)

I haven't really had time to poke around and im not really into the movies soo much anymore but if I come across something ill look into it :)

There's new pokemon content on both Splatoon and Mario Maker to celebrate the 20th anniversary if you guys play those games.

Kind of a shot in the dark, but does anyone in NA have a spare Mew code? I'm trying to get one for my friend who's unable to get to a Game store :) (edit - got one, thanks! I do still have a UK code available though!)

Also, I have a spare Mew code myself (unfortunately it only works for UK games I think? idk how these things work, I know it doesn't work for NA versions of the game tho), if anyone wants it PM me :)

I managed to get a code for myself but when I went to GameStop they said they ran out of Mew codes so I still need to figure out how I'm going to get 2 more codes, one for my brother and one for my son. It's kind of strange that they'd run out so fast when the promotion is supposed to run for most of the month.

Aaaaah so yesterday we went all the way out in the most eastern part of Texas near Louisiana all for a dinner...and we passed by this little tiny town on the middle of now where and look what their Target had! I was impressed- their target was the size of maybe two Walgreen's put together and I was on the floor astounded with their selection of Pokemon figures!

Thank you for the offer, but she's in Germany, not the UK. ^^" (I don't know why I thought she was in the latter.)

I did some digging around and found this on Bulbapedia:
Quote
Generation VI

The Mystery Gift system works like in Generation V. One notable difference is that all non-Nintendo Zone local events are no longer region-locked. The maximum amount of Wonder Cards a game can hold is now 24. In order to use Mystery Gift, the game must have a save file.

I guess the codes aren't always region-locked, then?

So its a 6th gen and not a 7th?  Which means its already precoded into x/y and omega ruby/alpha sapphire?
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! [Catch Mew@Gamestop Now!]
Post by: MilkyTaroMochi on February 15, 2016, 11:32:56 AM
Pretty sure that Magearna wasn't precoded into XY ORAS since if she was, she would have most likely been leaked beforehand.

 Like with what happened with Hoopa, Diancie, and Volcanion - granted people knew of their existence due to Serebii accidently leaking it on their site, but we didnt know what they actually looked like until sometime later when someone actually dug/hacked into the game files and caused them to spawn appear in their copy of the game. IIRC the same person had also revealed those two special event Vivillion patterns (Pokeball and the flowery/garden one)along with
Spoiler
AZ's special/immortal Floette, which I wonder if it would ever get an official release.

Post by: Rainbowrific Renia on February 15, 2016, 12:00:11 PM
So a GameStop near me that I went to yesterday didn't have the Mew plush, but one of the workers was nice enough to see if any others in the area had Mew. Only one did, but it's an hour away. Since I've been having a very crappy weekend, my husband called that GameStop today and they said they still had the plush.

Drove an hour out there just for them to say "Oh, we thought you meant the Mew figure." They didn't have those either, btw. :pout: Mind you, the weather is terrible. My husband did this because he said he wanted me to be happy, which I haven't been lately.

I've also tried asking at every GS we go to about restocks, and they've all told me that they don't know anything about restocks on things like plushies.

I'm so over this hunt. The Mew plush was literally the only 20th anniversary merch I've wanted so far, but I can't even get it. *flips over all the tables* I'm ready to give my money to a Chinese seller on eBay, because if this is indicative of how the rest of this year will go trying to get these plushies, then I don't even care.

On the plus side, I've been playing more Y version lately. I forgot just how much I love gen 6.

I was also hoping to snag a few extra Mew codes, but couldn't. I'm having the worst luck this year, I swear. :lol:

Wow, sorry to hear about all of that Renia! :(  Even if they thought you were talking about the figure, why would they tell you they had it in the first place when They actually didnt have them in?  :pout:
I sure wouldn't blame you for going the eBay route for Mew due to this distribution issue. I may do the same for Jirachi and Darkrai, if it's gonna be like this all year long for the non-Pikachu plushes.

Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! [Catch Mew@Gamestop Now!]
Post by: Rainbowrific Renia on February 15, 2016, 12:36:22 PM
Apparently they had the figures, but had just sold the last one before we got there. So I guess I don't totally blame them for that.

Speaking of which, Milky, I'll send you the money soon for the figure you got me. I ran into a bit of a financial bind last week though, so I'm sorting that all out before I spend anything. Yay adulting!

It makes me sad seeing all the Mew plushie on eBay that people are selling for $50 or $60. I hate knowing that someone bought these with the intent to make a profit. It's Amiibos all over again!

I know what you mean.  I don't want the Mew but I was looking for a friend and just got off the phone with one Gamestop that had both of them a couple of weeks ago, but now they're out.  I'm hoping Jirachi isn't this hard to come by because I only live near one Toys R Us.

The flipping makes me think of the Build A Pony situation.   :enraged:

Awwe Renia, that totally stinks... I've been very bummed you have had rotten luck with mew. I promise I've been out looking at every GameStop I pass by for ya. Every store I visit now seems to have pikachu again with little to no info on new shipments of mew. You drove an hour away OMG does your area only have a few gamestops? :cry: I will help as much as I can looking here! I can also help online for a cheaper one! I never buy stuff online more than retail though personally because when I do it pops up in stores again xD

If they knew you were coming, they still could have held the figure for you or something, you know? Showed that they listened and didnt want you to come there for nothing.

And I understand! Let me know whenever you are ready! :)

At least the amiibo situation is basically done now, though. Granted I decided to retire collecting them once I get Cloud and Bayonetta's. xD But yeah, this 20th anniversary exclusive merchandise is already starting off in a bad way. :(

I'm pretty sure that I do. I can PM it to you when I get home in about an hour, if you want.

Edit: Also, I've been out of the loop for a bit due to RL stuff, but trying to catch up on the Pokemon thread here; for the people looking for the Mew plush, Gamestop now has it up on its website, with the 'check availability' option, which they didn't have earlier ( just search 'mew' . I've been constantly checking the website hoping it would go live there, as the closest store to me that MIGHT have one in stock is 90 miles). It may be useful in everyone's search :)

Thank you so much for this info! Sadly there are no Mew plushies anywhere near me. I think the closest was another hour drive away- and I have to say I'm pretty bummed at the thought of driving that far again for no reason. I'll still keep refreshing that search, though!

I've been constantly checking the website hoping it would go live there, as the closest store to me that MIGHT have one in stock is 90 miles). It may be useful in everyone's search :)

Thank you so much for this info! Sadly there are no Mew plushies anywhere near me. I think the closest was another hour drive away- and I have to say I'm pretty bummed at the thought of driving that far again for no reason. I'll still keep refreshing that search, though!
Rainbowrific Renia, it says there's a Mew plush available near me, would you want me to get it for you if its still there?

That pikachu card is SUPER cute, I just wish it didnt have giant logos on it, but eh its free lol

It's just what they do for exclusive events. When the Pokemon 10th Anniversary tour was going around I got a special free card for attending the tour at the space center in Houston that has a logo on the art like that.

From what I understand, the freebies are for kids only above the age of six. Which is silly for a franchise that's turning 20.

i thought that was kinda silly too, sora... like I was there when everything first started xD I might not be a child anymore but that's literally the reason this 20th anniversary is so important! because literally the entire original fan base is adults, and most of us are still extremely into Pokemon rofl.

Im probably not going to make special arrangements to make it to this event, if something else comes up, but if im in the area then ill show up, ill probably have my son with me anyway lol. hes more into collecting the cards than the games anyway. Our TrU is pretty good about giving stuff away though? We have gone to tons of Lego events where it says the same thing "children 6+" and they've let me take stuff home on top of what they gave my son lol. but if not.. oh well lol.

I doodled a little something inspired by the 20th anniversary and thought this would be the place to share it. The five starters (technically) and the Pokemon of the month. I need to make a proper BG and finish the eyes (I always forget something important  >_<).

Well that's some blatant age-ism right there. :/ And what about 4 or 5 year-olds who play the games and collect the cards? I know they exist. Anyway. Also, I heard there was some joke going around on Reddit where an adult tried to get his kid into Pokemon and his kid said that it was a "grown-up" game. B)

I wish I could get the cards, but there's no Toys R Us anywhere near me, anyway.

ya my son collected the cards when he was little, and hes still more interested in the cards than the games. Hes 12 now so it doesn't really matter, xD but when he was younger than 6 he was already into the cards lol.

If the TRU even is just for kids I'm going to be disappointed :( I may have to call that morning and ask if a 'parent could pick up the cards for a sick child' ;)

Also congrats nemubones on the Mew find :D  Does anyone know when they are going to be gone from stores completely? I'm still hoping to find one before they are unavailable.

And aluke, that art is adorable! I'm loving the little Bulbasaur

Hehe that reminds me of an article I read months ago: in Japan, Yokai Watch is very popular with kids, and I believe they asked some kids on why they liked the series so much. Some kids said that it was because not alot of adults liked it compared to Pokemon, and how the adult Pokemon fans made it hard for them to get some (Pokemon) merchandise since they were so many of them. So the kids moved onto Yokai Watch. xD

Guys! The Mew plush is available for order through the Gamestop website now, and it seems to work! (My order just went through). Assuming that nothing goes wrong and they don't end up canceling orders (looking at you, amiibo >.>) then anyone who is still looking for it should have a chance at picking it up :D

Looks like they are going all out.

I remember finding an old squirtle figure a few years back and just keeping it around :)

It must have been my brothers.  I was never into toys, just the cards/show then later on handheld games..though I remember getting a huge Pikachu plush for a friend of mine :)

There's a 20th anniversary Celebi figure right? Like how the Mew one is? Maybe i'll swing by my TRU on Wednesday and see if they get them in.

I am so torn on the 20th anniversary Pikachu figures. Part of me doesnt want them, but the other part only wants a couple of the individual figures. xD

If not, I might have to hit up someone who is near a store to grab some for me (my nearest store is about 2 hours away :P).

according to the site, so far there is a pokeball figure for every mythical pokemon except genesect (dunno why but i hope they come out with one!) there was also a pokeball pikachu (not the 4pack pikachus) that I totally missed, and I'm trying to find it.

 :mad:  Grr...have to whine. 
So I noticed on Walmart's website that you can order the Red/Blue New 3DS but you won't get it until March 2nd at the earliest and if you pre-order to pick up in store, you can't pick it up until March 8th.  So I asked at my local store if they would have any available to purchase in-store on Saturday.  The girl working was totally clueless.  She said that she would "go to GameStop for something like that" and when I told her that it was listed on the Walmart website she told me that was a question for her manager because she, like totally, had no idea about "stuff like that."  Seriously?  I get that obscure merchandise wouldn't be on the radar but Pokemon and Nintendo consoles of any kind are the opposite of obscure.  Considering that GameStop and Best Buy are already sold out of those 3DS consoles, wouldn't it be wise for Walmart to know if they're going to have any in-store?

Yes there is! I've seen pictures of it, it comes in a great ball! All the legendaries have figures except genesect have been confirmed!

Also TRU should have them listed on their website on the street date! I think its March 1st!

I have that one as well.  I lucked out and found the whole set at the thrift store a few years ago.  They were 99 cents!   :devious: I gave away Zubat and one of my Vulpixes since I had multiples of those two.  I opened the packages but left the tags.   :redface:
I'm hoping one day to complete the evolution chain with the plush or at least get my hands on a Dragonair.

I was going to try and wait till Saturday to hit up TRU, since I was going to be there anyway for Pokemon Day, but seeing the Celebi posts is weakening my resolve! lol For those that found it, how many did it look like your stores got? (When I was at my TRU earlier in the month they were swimming in the Pikachu plush)

I did manage to sneak out to my local Gamestop today in order to pick up the Mew card set with the pin. I've been waiting all month for it to come out so I was excited my store had stock! The Generation cards are cool, though I was expecting more of a throw back to the original sets, and the Mew pin is really high quality.

As I expected, no Celebi anywhere.

It sucks so much that I only want the plushies from this anniversary thing and I can't ever find them. I'm hoping that maybe the TRU's around me just didn't put Celebi out early like everywhere else. I'm so sick of being disappointed and we're only on legendary #2.  :cry:

I ended up running over to the nearest TRU today afterall, because I needed to hit up a craft store anyway for some Pokemon pieces that I'm working on. I should have gone the other day T_T I didn't see any of Celebi out, and when I asked about them the employee working that area said they had stocked them on Monday and sold out yesterday. Could I take you up on your Celebi-help offer, Lala? (if your TRU isn't too terribly far away). I would pay for cost and shipping.

Sure thing! It came out to be like $18ish at the register with tax, shipping wouldn't he too bad- maybe a large $5 flats rate envelope would work! Let me know because I'm going out today! I live by two and the closest one that has celebi is only ten minutes away!

Haha it kind of does look like a swap box brag picture! xD if anyone hosts a kawaii/anime/Pokemon swap of any kind I'm definetly toy going back up to the Japanese dollar store for it! Everything in there was $1.50 and I live down the road from an Hmart (where I got all that candy!) !!!!! The dollar store name is Daiso Japan, Google if one is in your area: its a must-go to place!

You have a daiso near you (and h mart?). I'm jealous XD I wanna move to Texas now... When I used to travel to Cali I would always have a shopping spree at daiso. But online they only let you buy in bulk... It stinks.

Congrats Lala! That is quite the haul today :D It kind of looks like you participated in some kind of swap!

I ended up running over to the nearest TRU today afterall, because I needed to hit up a craft store anyway for some Pokemon pieces that I'm working on.

That sounds perfectly reasonable to me, and I would assume that one of the flat rate shippers would work well, so yeah, if you wouldn't mind picking one up for me I would be very grateful! :D Aside from the Mew, Celebi and Jirachi were the only other two I was really planning on hunting down this year. And lucky you, living so close! The nearest one TRU to me is about a 50 minute drive (though then again, where i live, pretty much anything is a 50min drive in all directions lol)

I so think that we should all do another Pokemon swap this year. The one last year went great, plus, 20th anniversary! That only comes around once every 20 years XD

From Serebii:"

A European Trademark site has added new listings today for two new possible game titles, complete with logos. These logos are Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon. It is not currently known if these are to be the games revealed in tomorrow's Pokémon Direct or if this is just a placeholder like many game titles that have come before such as Pokémon Brown, Pokémon Amethyst and so forth. We'll bring more news as it comes. Please note, this is currently unconfirmed

I sure do! I only found out about it yesterday on my way to Hmart! Its so funny when I moved to Texas I was complaining about how boring it was, then Cole shows me what we really have here! Asian communities are BIG here in DFW, Carrolton, Arlington, Plano, and heck even Frisco we have a TON of resturaunts and shops here including a Sanrio store! I wish they were as popular as Dollar Tree, their dishes are unbelievably cuuute!

I saw the rumored titles online as well and I can not WAIT for tomorrow! So much hype. I didn't know how much I needed a celestial themed Pokemon game in my life until now (totally would buy Moon).

@dashesndots- Last year was super fun, and I think we had the longest swap thread ever XD (I think it was something like 70+ pages long?)

Another Pokemon swap would be amazing. I've been having such rotten luck with getting any Pokemon merch that I actually want this year (not counting all the amazing Goomy merch my husband got me), that I'd love to receive and send something to someone to cheer me up a bit!

I still would like a Z version, tbh. What about Zygarde's different forms? It would be so weird for them to introduce those in the games with a new generation.

But I also wouldn't be upset over a new generation. That would be exciting news!

I wouldn't mind seeing Z as well. To me it's a throw back to the old style of games, where you always got the set of three. I really kind of miss that (I remember thinking for sure that we would end up getting a Pokemon Grey when Black/White came out, and a Delta Emerald when ORAS was released)

It makes sense why we wouldn't get a third game for the remakes, since FireRed/LeafGreen and SoulSilver/HeartGold didn't have a third counterpart, but I agree about the main series of games. I also kinda get why they did Black 2/White 2 and not Grey, but that still would've been cool. In any case, it would be weird to just have two games for gen 6. They started a formula and I got used to it!

I honestly forgot about fire and leaf and heart and soul, which is sad because I loved them. So yeah, the remakes make sense being just 2. And the only thing I didnt like about black and white 2 was the name. I felt like they didn't even try with it, and it was weird getting two of them.

Yeah, I agree.

I loved the heck out of FR/LG and SS/HG. Those remakes were just perfect.

And SS/HG gave us Pokemon walking behind the character. I mean... I'm not saying that was the best gimmick ever, but I've kinda been wanting it in every game since then. :lol:
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: Harmonie on February 25, 2016, 09:33:00 AM
I don't know, I appreciate every change-up to the release formula that they give. Although I was kind of looking forward to a Z, as I most likely would have bought it and it would have been the first time since G/S/C where I actually got a second game from the set.

...But when it was Black 2/White 2 instead of Grey, I was pretty ecstatic. No one was expecting it, and although they weren't amazing sequels like G/S/C were to R/B, they were something more different than a third version.

Who knows what exactly Sun/Moon even are? They might be something different themselves!

No excuse for ORAS to not have it. xD

And ditto on wanting to have the HGSS *Pokemon walks behind you* feature back! Loved that feature alot, and would also want to have the Pokathalon back as well.

Thiiiiiissss. So much this! The lack of being able to customize my trainer in ORAS was really disappointing because it was such an awesome feature to have in XY. Same with having a Pokemon walking behind you. I loved it in Pokemon Yellow, I loved it in HGSS, I would think that it is due to make a return.

I just saw the post..and I really hope it will be confirmed--those these are right up my alley :)

My main concern is, will they allow transfer from 6th gen games to what I guess is assumed to be 7th, via 2 3DS consoles?  I said it before and ill say it again, I don't have bank and don't agree with the yearly fee.

ETA: I want the seasons to change again, and I want honey trees or tress that I can harvest nuts for pokeballs (leave the berry trees to how they are in ORAS, I never liked the huge berry tree you cant replant)

I would assume yes, but of course have it as a "one way transfer only" sort of thing.
Then again, they could make a transfer a Bank thing as well, since I assuming they want to make Bank be useable for all future Pokemon games.  :(  so they could lock transfers for only working with Bank and not person to person.

It's hard to say what they would do. I assume that, with all the legendary distribution this year, that transfer between the games will be possible. I feel like they wouldn't make it a 'bank transfer only' option, since it is a paid service and not everyone wants it or has it. On the other hand, I could see them making it bank only because.... its a paid service and they would want that revenue. But they've been pretty good with the way they've always handled pokemon transfers and trading, so I hope for the best.

Kitkumi- if you didnt buy celebi online, i got one for you today! $14.99 Brag pictures later, i need a nap in! It may be cheaper to purchase it online for you!

I like the idea of a new games over another gen 6 game, it would make sense to get a Z version but Moon/Sun sounds much more exciting so far! I just want the pokeradar set up like ORAS- its sooooooooo easy to find shinies in the grass!

I'm so glad I checked the TRU website when I did. I snagged Celebi at the $11.99 sale price and a Hawlucha plush, also on sale, so I could get free shipping. Looks like Celebi is no longer in stock though, so hopefully those who wanted it got it while it was up!

I can say I'm more than happy they're moving onto a new gen instead of shoving an updated version of X/Y on us. Kalos was the first main game to flop in my opinion (which is sad because it introduced so many Pokemon I love, Talonflame is one of my top favourites), so the faster they leave it behind the better, again, in my opinion. I'm so excited to see the new Pokemon!

I would love it if they gave the option to have Pokemon trail behind you again, that was easily the best part about HG/SS. I also hope Pokemon Amie, or something similar, is kept in too. I like features that let you interact with your Pokemon.
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: MilkyTaroMochi on February 25, 2016, 02:54:16 PM
Its funny how I had no real interest with Pokemon Amie at first, but then once I interacted with some of the legendary Pokemon in it, it was too much fun.
I love how Yveltal leans in a little when you scratch him, and Kyogre opens his mouth in a "ahhh that's the spot!" way. xD

I didnt think Kalos was all that bad, save for the lack of new Pokemon. I do like Kalos more than Unova(? -last gen) and Hoenn, save for the N storyline.
I remember coming across someone's theory that N is actually a Zoroark, and that became my headcanon, especially whenever you encounter him post game in BW2.

fine by me if its a 1 way transfer..all they are hurting are the legendaries and im ok with moving them up once they are 'recorded' for my AS and Y games.

I can breed just about anything else so its not a big deal :)  Actually, I just got the oval charm maybe a week ago when I got off my butt and went regi hunting >>

I have a new found appreciation for capture power.

I guess all we can do is wait and see, really.  It could go either way.

Post by: aluke on February 25, 2016, 03:11:04 PM
I've actually never tried Amie with the legendaries (aside from Mew and the Pokebank  Celebi). Now I want to pet one of the big non-cute ones.  :lol:

I didn't like the evil team nor the story of Kalos. I also thought the pacing was off. It took like three towns and who knows how many hours to get from the first to second badge, then all of a sudden I got five more badges before I could blink.

Unova is actually my favourite I know it's one of the least popular, but something about it just struck a cord with me. I liked the atmosphere of it. I also liked that the plot was a little deeper than usual. I think that's also what hurt Kalos for me. I had so many expectations...

I really need to play through X again though, and see if my opinions have changed going through a second time, plus, so many new Pokemon I still never used that I want to.

Thank you so much! *lots of hugs* By the time I was able to get to a computer (aka, not work, lol) where i didn't mind putting in credit card information, it was gone! So if you don't mind boxing it up and sending it my way, I would still love to have it :) Just shoot me a PM with your paypal address and I'll send you my shipping address :D

I really liked Kalos, but I think half of it was all the new features that came along with it (I will admit, when compared against other evil organizations, Team Flare made me go O.o a lot). I also thought that it was cute where you could have your trainer name, and also a nickname that the in-game friends called you. Though Johto still holds a special place in my heart and is my all time favorite region/game.

Congrats! Im about 18ish from filling out my Nat. Dex in X version!

I NEEED shiny charm for both my gen 6 games! I want that shiny dratini and shiny lapras!

Hehe I wanted to get the Shiny Charm before Saturday, all things considered. xD I got my last Pokemon, Roserade, about an hour ago, so YAY Shiny Charm for me!
Volcanion is literally the only Pokemon I am missing now. xD

I have a job interview in the morning, so I am likely going to miss the direct. Unless I get to the place early enough for me to watch it on my phone before I go for my interview.

Hehe funny you mention X version because that is the one I just completed! :D And thank you! I might try to do the same for ORAS, but I am kinda lazy about that now.  Been tempted to breed a bunch of Cherubis in X (like five boxes worth), put them in Bank, replace them on ORAS, and trade for them missing pokemon all over again. LOL.
I had using my Bank as far as getting the event legendaries, and spent a good chunk of this part weekend transferring my old gen legendaries and team members from their games, onto Bank. xD

Had to get my boyfriends help for a few of the legendaries - Bank wouldnt let some of my past gen event pokemon into Bank. Dx

I'm still about 112 pokemon away from my shiny charm but I'll get there...

Interested to see if they announce new games!

I'm happy they officially announced it. ^^ I bet we'll be getting sneak peaks throughout the year?
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: Kitkumi on February 26, 2016, 07:12:12 AM
Eee! That was still exciting to me.  I think it would have packed more punch if it hadn't leaked, but still exciting. It was also cool to see the montage of people growing up playing it. I can't wait for people to start picking apart the thing though,  especially where they announced the new games and showed the computer screen that someone was working on. Was it a new Pokémon or an old one? I couldn't tell!

The colors are also different. But they also announced all the first games from each generation before Sun and Moon. So I can almost a 100% confirm we're at the 7th generation! :D
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: Rainbowrific Renia on February 26, 2016, 07:33:33 AM
Yup, I'm pretty sure this is gen 7. I can't wait to see more Pokémon from the new gen, so I can pick a favorite based off cuteness (like I did with Goomy last gen). :lol:

It's so funny that I'm still hyped for these games after all these years. Been playing since I was in 5th grade, now I'm almost 26. Crazy! When they showed those kids using a link cable in the Direct, it brought back so many memories...of being the only kid in my group of friends who owned a link cable. Lol
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: SpaceButtPonies on February 26, 2016, 07:46:20 AM
A bit disappointed that they didn't reveal more. But still exciting.
Seeing the old game boy and the link cable, man I'm old D: watching those kids reminded me of myself getting excited to get new Pokémon.

Also I hope they add a co op feature. That would be too awesome!
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: Kitkumi on February 26, 2016, 07:56:29 AM
That looks like something new to  me, but I'm not sure (reminds me of a peacock)

The link cable nostalgia was strong. I was in 5th grade too when the games came out, and I remember thinking when the second pokemon movie came out that we would lucky if we got a third. I never expected it to go for 20 years!

When the games came out I remember there was some sort of all morning testing going on. Our teacher was awesome and said we could do what ever we wanted when we finiahed, so long as we were quiet and didn't mess with other students taking the test still. Almost all of us had game boys and we're playing the games together, battling and trading. Friday, after the test, the teacher said that we could all just have a free day to play afterwards as a way to celebrate being done. It was a good time.
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: melodys_angel on February 26, 2016, 08:36:38 AM
I was the same age as Ash when this all started (before the games--first season of the show).  Seeing the GBA brought back some strong memories of my brother playing.

So that definitely confirms a new game and I think a new generation.  Im still crossing my fingers trading between 6 and 7th gen can still be done with 2 3DS.

It says holiday 2016...wonder if that means they will amend the legendary giveaway to include sun and moon once those are out...catch the tail end.


Also..shiny charm.  Im...at something like 690ish on my nat dex?  I have literally 4 'normal' pokemon left to evolve, 3 of which nead a special evo item.  The rest are all legendaries.

Im debating if I should get a used version of omega ruby, just so I can get most of the legendaries im missing.

Thoughts?  I can poke my sister to trade and trade back Xernes (sp?) so im fine there.

I was just at my TRU and they had atleast ten of the Celebi plushes. So in a way I am not worried about the Jirachi one. Pretty sure the Celebi fugres will be gone tomorrow because of Pokemom day though.
Lucky I went when I did since a lady and I got the last Celebi figures.
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: Rainbowrific Renia on February 26, 2016, 09:31:50 AM
I saw that the Celebi figure was available on TRU's website, but that was after I ordered my Celebi and Hawlucha plushies, so hopefully I can just pick one up tonight when I go out.

Also, to the two people I owe money to in this thread for the Mew plush and Mew figure, I'm still resolving some issues on Paypal but as soon as that's cleared up, I'll get the payments together! ^.^

Tommorow is Pokemon Day at Gamestop and TRU! Husband is going for me in place of me at Gamestop while my asian half and I go to TRU! I need that Magikarp card LOL!

I posted a brag thread on pkmncollectors! x3
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: Rainbowrific Renia on February 26, 2016, 12:51:22 PM
The only reason I'm disappointed in a lack of a Z version is because...well, XYZ axis, first gen to be on a 3D platform...I'm sure we can all put two and two together. It seems like a missed opportunity not to give us Z, especially when there is still more to be revealed about Zygarde.

I feel like no one cares about Zygarde. Poor Zygarde.  :cry:

Oh well!

I'm still looking forward to the next generation.
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: Princess Lala on February 26, 2016, 01:16:12 PM
Zygarde is getting his own movie later this year, and maybe his alternate forms will be events. I just got a zygarde toy yesterday, he looks like green and black bacon LOL! Im getting that glitter version TOMY of him too, its too cute.

I am LOVING that horsea fountain in the prototype game images of Sun/Moon! It looks like the cities are getting more vehicles too? Apparently *is going by rumor on serebii ad pokebeach* the new games wont have customizable characters.... am disappointed by that if its true!
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: Rainbowrific Renia on February 26, 2016, 01:26:42 PM
I'll be 100% honest- I don't pay close attention to the movies or anything. So I didn't realize that. I still would've liked a Z version (not saying I don't want a gen 7, just that in my head a Z version made sense), but that's just me...

I got the same Zygarde figure a few days ago.

I was just thinking about when gen 6 was announced and there were leaked pictures/video of Goomy. So many people thought it looked stupid, but I fell in love. Then there was the rumor that it was probably fake and wouldn't exist in the games... I was so sad! Then it turned out to be real and I got excited again. The wait for a new generation sure can be a rollercoaster ride of emotions! :lol:

If the characters can't be customized, then I'll be pretty confused as to why they decided to introduce that feature just to do away with it. Then again, the Pokémon games are quite good at doing crap like that...
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: MilkyTaroMochi on February 26, 2016, 01:39:39 PM
Oh goodness I remember when XY first came out and everyone was trying to figure out how to evolve Sliggoo(?) and Eevee into Sylveon.
At first everyone thought Sliggoo had to be at lv 70 to become a Goodra, and how it took a week to figure out how to get a Sylveon (man I got lucky that time - sure I ended up with a male Sylveon, but he really comes in handy during battles and Friend Safaris (thanks to Cute Charm's bonus effect).)

Good times. xD

Post by: Kitkumi on February 26, 2016, 03:42:27 PM
I can't imagine that in this stage of the game anyone can say yay or nay to anything that will be included in the new games as far as mechanics go. We really only got logos out of it lol. So I am very hopeful that the character customization will make a comeback, as it was a very popular feature. And I thought I remember reading somewhere that the creators didn't put it in ORAS because it was a feature they wanted to keep just for new regions, or something like that.

It will help me pass the time tomorrow until my boyfriend comes into Town. xD

I won't be going out tomorrow, since I went shopping and stuff tonight, but I hope that those of you who do go have fun! I'll actually be reorganizing my living room (which is Pokémon themed, actually). My perler bead Goodra fell from the wall above the TV so I gotta fix that, haha. Tomorrow's just gonna be a lazy day...

Even if I don't go anywhere tomorrow, I'll be wearing my favorite Goomy shirt and matching socks! And I'll be sure to only drink from my Goomy mug, Ampharos mug, or Pokéball cup! ;)

I picked up the trading card set with the Mew pin tonight. I also saw a Celebi plush, but just one, so I don't regret ordering mine online- it was cheaper anyway!

I have an awesome Blastoise shirt to wear (my original starter) and plan to hit up TRU and Gamestop and Target, just to see what plush they have. I've been saving money all month for a pokemon day so I will have a brag tomorrow!  ( and even though im almost 28, my mom is going with me to share in the day =^^= she used to take me to TRU every saturday  to play in the Pokemon League when i was a kid and has always been interested in the pokemon stuff cause i was) Good luck to all who go out!

Now I've got to the Pokémon league but I don't really know anyone else that plays. All I ever get from wonder trade is like a lvl 2 poochyena. I don't have any shinies or anything but I at least try to send something nice. Ugh.  Sorry for the mini rant, hehe.

Dang $100!? Wheeeeelllll daaaaaaawwwwmmmm I can't get that right now x'D well, since I spend $30-70 on regular nendoroids thats not too bad for an LE item.

edit: Oh, this is a different Red! I was thinking this was the "Red" and "Blue" nendoroids based on the gameboy games! Hmmm when do those come out!? Because I love that Red- the one that resembles Ash a little more! Also I need to get Blue aka Gary! They are just too cute! :heart:

Also I'm a butthole with the wonder trade- I will lalways send a zigzagoon or something lame xD I have yet to get a WT shiny! OMGSPEAKING OF WHICH IM SO CLOSE TO GETTING SHINY CHARM IN X VERSION!!!!! :green:

Aaaaaaah OMG and speaking again of shinies who is going up at noon to Target on the 19th and getting that KAWAII AS BLEEP shiny magikarp black star promo!? I know someone who HAS TO HAVE IT BECAUSE SHINY MAGIKARP IS THEIR FAVORITE!!!!! *is pointing to self with flashing arrows and giant anime smile drooly face* I LOVE that magikarp card art, it looks pissed off and ready to battle the elite four LOL!

I think I wondertraded for a few hours yesterday, and, the only thing I got that I liked was a deerling... (with a name that should of not gotten through censor). Most of it's junk though, and then I contribute throwing that junk right back in!

But I did get a shiny through GTS. I assume it's a fake one though. ^^; It's a gyarados.

Happy 20th Anniversary Pokemon!!!!!

I wanted to post this!!!! Its all my original Pokemon stuff I own from my childhood. Well, except Seadra but the rest is! Its amazing how much of this survived my really rough childhood (including a tornado that took my room and a mean step dad who threw away almost all my toys).  I'm really grateful to have this stuff even though I have been constantly moving around different states. I keep all of this stuff in a special box so it doesn't get any more damaged than some of this stuff is! I can't believe I've had that Raichu plush over 20 years. I feel old!

Hmmm. Maybe I should stop by there stores.... You guys have me curious about the sales.

With wonder trade, I just wish someone would trade me something I can't get myself in X, like Gengar (haunter), or y exclusives. If people send me crap I teach a cool TM and send back out hoping it goes to a kid that's just starting or something. 

I'm gonna try to can the fam into going to some of these sales tho.

With wondertrades, there are those that send out crap, and those that don't.

If I get something like a zigzagoon, ill either just release it or level it up if it knows pickup and send it back.  You try to send out nice things but sometimes just send common things out too, hoping someone hasn't caught it yet.

Heres one interesting thing htough--something common in your game might not exist in another.  If im on my Y and get a flabebe, I cringe a bit, but then remember that in ORAS someone would be thrilled to get it :)

Ive got minccino in my mirage island today so im catching a bunch of those to up my level and send out.  Should be a nice surprise for people^^

I just came back from TRU and GS. It was so cute seeing a bunch of little kids inside TRU playing with the cards. I had no trouble getting the free stuff from them (guess it helped that I am wearing a Mew shirt lol), and when I went to GameStop, I was so happy that they gave me the poster for free so I didnt have to buy anything for it.

Now to wait for my boyfriend to get in so we can go right back out to both stores so he can get his free stuff (and the FE:Fates game he planned on getting for me. xD).

Bleh! I went to TrU to get the cards -_- I don't know why I didnt open them in the car.. I just assumed that both cards would be in one pack, so I went home.. Opened it only to realize it was ONLY Magikarp... :/ All I wanted was a pikachu and Im stuck with two magikarp. u.u

I have no way of getting back so I guess that was a bust. On the plus side.. the poster is neat at least.

Omg we went right at noon!!!!! Im SO glad I went because i met up with an old friend from tournaments (yeah im lame and played the TCG in a league....) and we all stood in line and chatted pokemon stuff! Another person came in dresse dup as Team Rocket and had the same vulpix plush i posted in their widdle pocket! So they let us take multiples and I got two posters since the poster are BOSS! I also scored some anniversary merch on sale! Also check your Barnes and Noble- celebi box is out! I was going to buy it but i need to pay rent first!

This was such a lovely way to celebrate the 20th anniversary! It brings me joy to see pokemon is still strong!

PICTURES!

I ended up with 2 posters today, the quality was just too awesome. It feels almost like a place mat like it isn't made out of paper and the Pokemon images are super glossy! ITS AMAZING! They used the Fire Red/Leaf Green sugimori art versus the original 151 sugimori art. I love the timeline on the back with the games!

I'm so happy.....to own my dumb fish card. XD Magikarp is seriously one of my favorite Pokemon ever and I LOVE that they used him as a promo! Also YAY another Pikachu to add to my hoard  of pikachu cards! The cards are so beautiful. I love them.

Final haul today!!!

 I got the GameStop poster FREE- they were giving them out so luckily I didn't have to buy anything! It was so sweet of them! I finally got Pikachu Anniversary plash and for 40% off I got the clip n'carry LE Pikachu figure! I'm glad I didn't miss out on them even though I didn't intend on collecting them! The celebi plush were still out of stock because of me....xD and I'm relieved to know that their shipments of Celebi clip n carry pokeball figures haven't even arrived yet! To me that's better than having them in stock today because the lines were so huge around the building to get in that if they were in stock I would have no chance! That just means my SIL can text me when she gets them in stock on a not-busy weekday! :3

*meowth and clefairy will be at TRU on April 2nd same time!

I'm so happy that Pokemon is still crazy and companies are awesome enough to give us freebies for us fans. It was very sweet of TRU and GameStop, and even Target later on in March on the 19th. I'm happy I got to meet a friend of mine I haven't seen in almost 4 years today because of this event! Pokemon brings people together.

Today was so much crazy fun!

@Lala- It is so awesome that you ran in to an old friend from the League! And that isn't lame at all; I played in the video game half of the league myself :D I had actually hoped to run in to a few of my old friends as well today, but it didn't happen.

@True- I can't imagine that they would just get rid of the cards straight after the event. I'll call my TRU in the morning when they are open and see if there is anyway I could get one.

So, my haul today was pretty all over the place, lol. First we have a new card binder that I picked up while at TRU to hold my newest cards, and three shirts I ordered offline a few weeks ago that came in just in time to be able to wear!

Then all the anniversary stuff that I picked up. Our TRU actually had an employee that was giving three rare cards from their own collection to everyone who went through the line (It was so sweet of her! And let me tell you, for being in a small area, there was a HUGE line). I finally caved and picked up the Pikachu plush. How could I not?! It is pretty cute in person. Also, the posters are so cool!

 (http://s169.photobucket.com/user/kitkumi/media/pokemon3.png.html)

From a small used book and game store I found two older Pokemon games that I've been looking for. I somehow missed them when they came out originally, and they had them for really cheap! (One even has the original booklet with it). I was super excited! Also picked up some Pokemon books that I was missing

I also spent the last few weeks working on some Pokemon jewelry pieces for my little corner of etsy to celebrate the anniversary, and I've never managed to make so many pieces in such a short amount of time with so few mistakes *falls over* I'm still learning what I'm doing, lol. But I wanted to make one piece for each of the main games from the original gameboy set. (I haven't gotten a chance to photograph Gold yet)

Got this after I got off work!

That's what I got today, too!  I almost didn't get it, though, because everywhere around me was sold out and I hadn't pre-ordered because GameStop, Walmart, and Best Buy were all sold out of their pre-orders.  So I called around and after 4 stores, Smith's Marketplace said they had ONE left and they agreed to hold it for me because it was going to take me half an hour to get there.  :) The employee there said that they had a bunch of calls leading up to today about it, but they only got 3 in and an employee bought the other 2 but I was the only one who'd called to ask about it today. I don't even mind that the screen is "small" because it's bigger than the screen on my DS Lite.  Next week I'm going to buy Pokemon Y and start playing it so I can collect my legendaries.

Sadly in germany nothing special was happening :/ no cards, no posters, no nithing... just a used-games store owner who thought it was a good idea to price the old Pokemon Ranger games with 45$ because "they are sooo worth it!" XD (I didnt tell him that every fleamarket is full of them and you´ll get it for under 10,-)


(Still playing blue edition today lol, its soo funny <3)

I was surprised at how cheap they were (they were about ten bucks a piece). I never understand people who set prices so much higher when places around them are selling for so much less lol

The Nintendo Direct said 'Holiday 2016', so literally all we know is that it'll be out at the end of the year. At this point, if you see anyone claiming to know more, I'd be skeptical of it.

Almost complete trading all my mons over to X version! I have to find that guy from Canada over on chatango to see if he will be kind enough to trade and trade back over his shaymin, arceus, and darkrai again! I need shiny charm in X version ASAP! I want to find my own shiny Lapras and Dratini so darn bad!

Wow, Princess Lala. I thought I was incredibly lucky for running into one shiny (Tauros) in X. I also remember running into a shiny Onyx in one of my IRL friend's Friend Safari, right as I was walking out thinking there was nothing of interest there.

I caught both of them, plus a shiny Relicanth that I got first through that chain fishing method, which is, of course, a lot less special.

Actually that makes you luckier than me! Finding shinies without a shiny charm is craaaaazy good luck! I tried shiny hunting since AS came out and i have only been able to find a shiny Ralts (to my luck it was a female) and before that a random shiny carvanah without the shiny charm! I stil lthink chain fishing is special- even magikarp! :heart:

Awe thanks!

Im such a chicken, to be honest im scared to ever cheat! xD I literally only found out about PokeGen a few weeks ago when several people i am following on my IG feed were freaking out about the pokegen being patched out in a new update. I personaly wouldnt have used it anyways, im paranoid about that stuff (im afraid of file corruption or a pokemon deleted through cheating!) I think the biggest reason i have never cheated with Action Replay or power save because i absolutely love the hunts. Its really fun to chain pokemon hoping every pokemon you run into is a shiny! Absol is probably the easiest shiny I have ever gotten through hunting because the grass on its route is a huge area! On my first try I chained i think around 40 something and got one no problem! :3 i ran into a wild shiny skitty before right after eevee, but it was out of luck because i was just passing through the grass!

Post Merge: February 29, 2016, 06:43:33 AM

@banditpony awe you should totally try it sometime! Even if it's magikarp, feebas, its really fun! I promise if you keep trying you will eventually find one! :heart: Horde encounters (through sweet scent) are an easy way to hunt! If you ever want to find a shiny, i would be more than happy to give you detailed tips! I want other people to find shiny pokemon too! Its a blast!

@pikashoes: OMG i would LOVE to know how many you actually have! At least in XY/ORAS? IIRC you are a serious wild-encounter shiny pokemon hunter too? :bateyes:

*i still haven't tried MM method* I really wish i knew all this fancy technology stuff becaue eI would LOVE to do shiny hunt livestreams on YT! I probably need some fancy nintendo program....meh...all i can do is make videos on my IG of my encounters and captures but i would love to show people my favorite spots to hunt like how people do in livestreams!

Oh, a Shiny Charm? I don't even know what that is. Lol.

I was shocked to find my shinies in X. The only previous experience I had with a shiny was in Gold/Silver/Crystal (no, not the Gyrados!). I remember it being something like a Weedle, and seeing that shine on the screen. I had no idea what it meant back then and I didn't catch it. >.<

Anyway... Anyone still have Mews they can give away? I couldn't make it to Gamestop this month. >.<

I have 102 shiny pokemon I've caught and hatched myself. None of them have been hacked in anyway.

Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: SpaceButtPonies on February 29, 2016, 07:44:18 AM
There are tons of methods you can try, just takes time.
Horde Hunting
Easy
Taking a pokemon with Sweet Scent, using it and running into 5 pokemon at a time, run if no shiny and repeat.
Chaining
Difficult
Depending on the game; XY, using the pokedar, setting it off in a huge patch of grass will shake other smaller patches. Run to one patch and run into said pokemon, defeat or catch, never run or it will break your chain. Watch for the shakiest of grass and rum into it. Repeat.
ORAS is easier, similar method but you can choose what pokemon you want and sneak up on them and repeat.
Chain Fishing
Medium Difficulty
Find a patch of water you want, having a pokemon with suction cup ability (makes fishing more successful), use any rod you want, you can run away from battle without breaking your chain, repeat till shiny is found.
Safari Hunting
Easy
in XY you have the safari zone, you have 1 in 500 chance (I think?) to find a shiny. Just run around like a wild person, run away if no shiny, repeat till shiny is found.

This all takes time. Good luck!

I actually remember buying the metallic Mewtwo set! :D I still have that Mewtwo, actually. I think the lenticular Mewtwo card that came with the set was the shot from the movie when he was throwing that "blue Shadow Ball" at Mew.
That would be so cool if they rereleased those sets. Especally for the older Gen 1 Pokemon, you know?

Did anyone remember when Pop Tarts had metallic figures in the boxes for a while? IIRC, it was a metallic Charmander, Chansey, or Poliwhirl. I got lucky and got Charmander, and he is still one of my favorite Pokemon figures in my collection! xD Almost lost him when I was a kid at my grandma's house, but she found him and surprised mailed him back to me. :D

It has been 16 years I think since they had the toys for the Pokemon 2000 movie and, after completing my toy set from that go around and the one for the first movie, I have YET to eat there again. Poptarts have just begun to be ever so slightly edible to me as well.

Can I get you to go shiny hunting for me? o.0

The last time I found a shiny it was in pearl and caught me by surprise. 

Im a bit reluctant to try to allocate my time towards it right now since I still need to hound my brother for the rest of the legendaries needed to complete the dex >>
Haha, Sure!
What Pokémon is catching your fancy?

MTM- YEEEES I REMEMBER THE POPTARTS! We had Poliwhirl and Charmander metallic figures!!! We got another kind of breakfast food...i think it was waffles!? Inside those i got the pichu, totodile, and entei pencil toppers!

I think my life would be so complete if they released the older G1 toys! But i would be in total debit with maxed out credit cards hahaha! Gotta collect em all!


Oh gosh, I loved those Pop Tarts...and the ice cream bars shaped like Pikachu and Gengar heads?
I'd just eat the eye candies...you don't have to rub my weirdness in my face, now.

What kind of bean plush!???i wanna see! The hasbro ones or fast food ones!? *curious button being pushed!*

 i remember going frantic in every store looking for that Dratini pluah that you could take in the shower! I had charmander, pikachu, and squirtle and i saved up my money from helping the neighbors clean so i could buy that dratini....i never found it!

The Hasbro ones. Wow, I didn't even know THEY were the ones who made those!
That's really neat. (goes to dig mine outta storage)

For anyone who is looking for the Pokemon cards from TRU, I can grab a few from work tomorrow. We had a bunch left over.
Oh, I don't have a TRU in my area -- any chance you could get me some cards? Man, I am having so much trouble keeping up with this thread -- it's moving so fast!

From what I understand, the original gameboy games (rby and gsc) couldn't trade with the gameboy advance games or the ds games.  However, the digital copies of those games can be used with the Pokemon Bank and transferred into Sun and Moon, but I don't know if they can be transferred via pokemon bank into the other DS series games.

I don't believe so? I know that when Sun and Moon come out you can use Pokemon Bank to send Pokemon from the virtual games forward (I don't think that includes X&Y and ORAS though. Don't quote me on it though lol).

If you have at least one game out of each generation though starting from Ruby and Sapphire, you can get Pokemon to the newer games though through the most convoluted mess of trading known to man (I had a Celebi on Emerald and was able to get it to ORAS).

Hope that makes some amount of sense; it's late and my brain has decided to go ahead and turn off for the evening lol.

Edit: If brain had engaged, I see that Pokeyonekenobie has answered your question much better than I have XD Time for bed!

I got on amazon and eBay looking at vintage MOC Monster Collection Audley/TOMYs....its VERY hard to resist buuut if I'm a good girl and save I can get Pokedolls when I go to Epcot this summer!

I'm also going back home to Longboat Key, I neeeeeeeeed a picture of it on my dash with the beach in the background out of focus....OMG need vaporeon stuff for Florida now!

My husband calls Celebi 'celery' so now I call it that. It isn't that he can't pronounce it, he just likes celery better because he thinks its funny, and he also thinks Celebi looks like celery. He's such a weirdo.

I saw someone on Instagram post a picture of the Celebi pin and special card, and it's soooo cute! I was trying to figure out how they got it already and apparently they ordered it from Amazon. Hopefully that box starts showing up in stores soon!

Also, completely off topic, but I was thinking last night that it would be awesome if Pokemon Go was released this summer. Mostly for selfish reasons because I'm doing a lot of traveling and, well, more pokemans. :lol:

Ahhh I know, right!? I told myself only mew, jirachi, celebi, and manaphy plush. Then everything else that was released happened to make its way into my home....including all those darn pikachus! Its too much pikachu even for me. I'm happy about the tin boxes though! I found out about them by the guy at GameStop, he told me boxes were coming out at all retail stores! I have the red gyarados pin, black rayquaza pin, dragonite pin, and now I'm buying these event Pokemon pins.....

I would actually check Walmart before B&N! TCG venders usually restock on Tuesdays! My friend who works at the target next to me said they have a few! Im waiting for Walmart to get them so I can get my employee discount! I like getting these for only $10!

So with my pins I'm actually attactching them to my anniversary plush cases! I'm poking the pin point through the fabric on the zipper- its a nice way to not loose them! You guys should do it too! :heart:

The fact that you can't buy the individual packs annoys me! And the fact that you only get two packs per box >.> Though I thought I saw on the Pokemon site that they are releasing card boxes with figures starting on March 16 (The three original starters, evolved, and Pikachu) that I think come with four packs each.

Aww, just checked my work- no Celebi box today! They stocked a ton of those winking pikachus!

Does everyone else have the Pokemon toys in their toy section? Wave 2 is coming out soon! I've already seen squirtle 4 pack sets and the sinnoh legendaries! I've only seen two mega absols though.

Added:

So I'm bored at work...just googling pictures of old Pokemon items. I really miss the burger king promotion the most! I remember wanting to collect the different bags, I had the purple burger king crown, and man I miss the toys! xD Sometime soon I think I'm going to recollect them all and the poster! I had a fair chunk of the toys from garage sales as kids! I need a time machine like now LOL.

I also remember the Pokemon 2000 action cards, I had the articuno, lapras, Lugia, and kingler one. I remember articuno make his noise and lapras/kinger squirt water! I also remember the promotional plushies and how I wanted the articuno one! Then there were the gameboy toys they had where you opened them up and they had a clear color acrylic square Pokemon charm with a 3D mold of a Pokemon on it! I remember when I met my real dad for the first time I got the jolteon one that day!

My dad brought them home for my sister and I and I thought it was so cool lol. I might still have one somewhere, but it might be with my sons stuff xD.

Whoa, I'm having a really good time in this 20th anniversary - Got Mew, Celebi, and fished three shinies! (Wailmer, Magikarp and Carvanha). I'm a bit worried about Pokemon Sun and Moon - what if they remove Pokémon Amie? That's my favourite feature!

I started playing Pokémon with the original Sapphire version. Alpha Sapphire, which is the one I own, is what I'm currently playing. I'm waiting for Pokémon Z to see if there's any improvement over X and Y.

Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! [Catch Celebi Now!]
Post by: melodys_angel on March 02, 2016, 08:38:03 AM
im sure they will come up with a way to tie his forms in.  I cant see them hyping it up in the anime then dropping it.

What im hoping is for the dex nav to return.  Its the easiest way to see if you've completed an area--and easy to recatch something you've caught.
Knowing things like held item or ability is nice too.

What I liked about pokemon amie was that anything with 5 hearts had perks in battle.  The commentary changes and your pokemon have a chance to dodge an attack, heal from a status condition or crit just because they are closer to you.

That and blazikens animation when its satisfied is adorable. It crosses its arms and nods as matter of factly.

Im still debating if I should just break down and get ruby so I can have the other legendaries.  Bet ill probably be on the fence about atleat for another month (march is an expensive month for me)

That's what I've been wondering. :lol: Makes zero sense to just skim over it in a game or ignore it. I'm sure it'll be brought up in future games, I just don't understand why we aren't getting a Z (as far as I can tell).

Also, Pokemon is just going full Digimon anymore with no shame. I love Digimon, but I think it's pretty funny.

Things I hope they keep/bring back
dexnav
clothes/hairstyles (it's completely useless but fun xD)
I would DIE HAPPY if we could choose a pokemon to walk beside us again!
super training
individual exp share, idk I dont like that they all benefit from 1 exp share (ducks out of way from rocks being aimed at my head)
I'd like longer routes between towns.. xy kinda felt VERY small (i finished y in 6 hours)
BERRIES and being able to plant more.. in xy/oras I hardly use potions
Ami (even though I rarely use it, its cute!)
(im probably forgetting things)

Also these are just MY opinions xD please dont bite my head off haha.

Also these are just MY opinions xD please dont bite my head off haha.

I agree with all of these except for berries (I never did anything with those). I would also love for the Pokeathlon, or something like it, to make a return. I thought that was so fun! Pokemon following you would be my biggest want, though. Followed closely by PokemonAmie sticking around.

While I do enjoy EXP Share, I understand why people don't like it.

But yeah, not biting your head off. ;) I definitely agree with you!

Goodness, y'all who have gotten the Mew plush are lucky! I looked everywhere and never found a single one.
Sigh.

Anyway, I'm so excited for the holiday season this year...
I'm hearing that the new games might be set in Hawaii. I'm curious to see what they'll do with that.

And yes, I'm hoping they keep Amie around- for my sake at least! I'm the kind of trainer who calls their Pokemon
their children/babies etc so actually being able to pet them and interact with them only increased my already strong bond with them all. :good:

Oh man berries are sooo convenient lol, it was easier in xy because you had one place where you could plant a ton, and you could go back there easily. I know there's that big area in oras, but it still requires a lot of moving around to get to all the other place haha. But I especially used the pp replenishing berries id be lost without them. xD

omg o_o I have no idea what Pokeathlon is and hg is like one of my favorite games! I suddenly feel like i'm a fraud haha. I need to look into it, it looks really fun!

Post Merge: March 02, 2016, 09:20:20 AM

OH! I also loved how you could fly freely on latios/latias in oras, that was so much fun, but being able to do it on any flying pokemon would be so awesome? or maybe just mega capable flying types? idk That would just be so neat if we could continue doing that

Anyone want to test their memory? How many of the first 151 can you remember in 12 minutes?  :P

http://www.sporcle.com/games/g/pokemon

individual exp share, idk I dont like that they all benefit from 1 exp share (ducks out of way from rocks being aimed at my head)

Yeah the EXP share seemed a little much this way, I never had to grind and I was always overleveled. I did like it for post game  when I was trying to level up Pokemon to complete the Pokedex though, it makes that a lot less cumbersome. It was also a nice throwback to the original games when there were no hold items. Haha.

I agree with pretty much everything you want to keep in too.

No enough apparently! XD I got 86 out of 151. I'll post my results under the cut so you can laugh at me   :P

I bought pokemon Red which is really exciting for me because it's the only gen I've never played a game for (not even the re-releases). When I was a kid I played N64 spin-offs until gen 3. It's so weird going back to only 151 and not having all the things I take advantage of in newer games. I also nearly cried because I was grind leveling some pokemon on it and accidentally turned off the game without saving  :shocked:

I got 126/151... oh, and apparently Missingno counted, which I thought was funny- so there's a freebie for you guys. ;)

I did that all while being distracted by some students who needed my help with stuff, haha.

I'm gonna try doing the other generations now. I bet I'll do really bad with gen 3 and 4 since those were the generations I skipped (and subsequently became my least favorites) before getting back into the games with FireRed.

It seems like it would be so easy, as I've been a Pokemon fan for almost 17 years now. Lol. I was especially really into that first generation... My 11 year old self would be sooo disappointed in me right now.  :lol:

I need to play that memory game later on!  Years of repeating the pokeraps will do me good! xD *nerding out*

I still cant find the celebi pin box at Walmart, the boxes at GameStop are sold out! xD we still haven't gotten in the celebi figure shipments at TRU, they are still in transit. I did find this though! Nothing special but I love the fenniken coin and art of this celebi card!

So I decided I want to recreate a pokemon burger king kids meal! I've got toys and the original sealed bags on the way! xD I want to do it just for nostalgia because it's the 20th anniversary, and it will be really cool! It will look like I traveled in time! Going up and getting fries and a kid burger when I'm ready to take photos- then giving the gross fast food to James because that boy will eat anything xD

That memory test was a lot of fun! I got 106/151. I had more but my spelling is not the greatest ^^;;; It's kind of sad that after so many years I remember so much of the original pokerap XD Nice to know what is taking up my brain cell space. Though its funny, after the test was over it was like 'Ohhhhhh, yeah! Those!'. It's so much easier without the time limit!

Edit: I just did bold and crazy! I'm generally a shy person but I left the safety of the Pokemon thread to go post a gauging interest thread for a Pokemon swap, since it came up in conversation a few pages back (and it seems like there was some interest). Now excuse me while I go back to hiding under my rock XD

Time and spelling got me too.  I managed 70.  I was seeing pokemon and thinking of the pokerap but my spelling was off. 
A swap sounds fun.  I'm in the same boat as True though.  It'll be between this or the decade swap for me.

I think I remember doing that test a few years ago, and got around 90,due to me misspelling some of them.
It helped that I still remember most of the PokeRap by heart. xD

And I had some luck today - FINALLY spotted the other Walmart Pikachu set today (the one with the berry Pikachu). I mainly bought it for the sleeping Pikachu figure, but the other poses are growing on me a little. XD


Starting Friday, if you have Pokemom Bank, you can/will get the Regi Trio ( Regice, Regirock, Registeel) with their Hidden Abilities.  They just announced it a few minutes ago. :D

So im watching XY&Z (in japanese but who cares LOL!) and I really like the core (baby) Zygarde Bonnie finds and names Squishy. So when it transforms nearby zygarde cells join up on the core one, and they are scattered all throughout Kalos. It would be weird for me to be a pokemon trainer and see a zygarde cell on a tree and not be able to capture it LOL! Id be like, "wft is THAT thing....why is there a pickle slice moving in this tree!" Im excited to see its role in the new movie! Im also excited to see a particular type of evolution, not gonna say who it is here though! x3 *is all excited!*

I know that as part of the Pokemon 20th annniversary each of  the movies are being re-released on DVD! I think walmart online has them? I think hulu also has the Origins, I cant remember if hulu or netflix had it.

You arent alone, LOL I look retarded pulling apart everything in the trading card departments x'D I think the employees at the walmart up the street are tired of seeing me at this point. My Gamestop and target are totally sold out, I regret not even taking a picture LOL! I might try Barnes and Noble later on today and see if there is still that one floating around there.

Like I said, I picked it up for you since i knew you were looking for it and I was ordering anyway; seemed silly to not! Plus you were kind enough to pick up Celebi for me :D (and I can hold it until next week np). I will admit it is waaaayyyyy cuter in person lol.

And speaking of Celebi.... YES IT IS HERE!!  :faint: I just brought it in the house and opened it and holy cow!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!  :hug: You completely spoiled me!

And alllll the candy has been eaten already XD ). The cards are all amazing, but those Lati's.... *drool* They are BEAUTIFUL!

Well,

Remind me not to poke my head into the pokemon center website (I was trying to see if new information on sun/moon had been posted).  Expensive and I have next to no room..but those are adorable!  that eevee plush nearly broke me >>

In other news, I think I might beable to complete my nat dex on alpha sapphire.  We will see if it goes through once I unlock 3 more legendaries :)

Whoa! I was just strolling around to hatch my eggs and I found (and caught!) a shiny Gloom! I'm finally having luck with shinies (it must be because of the 20th anniversary :P)

By the way, if someone's interested in trading shinies, please tell me! I've got the above Gloom and Carvanha.

...

Is Hoopa needed for the nat pokedex? Asside from that and the deoxys I accidently fainted, all I need now are the legendaries that will be coming up this year.

But it wouldn't make sense if Hoopa is needed...especially if the other event only pokemon technically aren't.  Humm...

The Event Pokemon aren't needed for the National Dex, assuming you are going for the Shiny Charm. So no worries if you don't ever get/see Hoopa.  :)

But, if you do want to get that crown symbol next to the Narional Dex area, the only Event Pokemon you don't need are Diancie, Hoopa, and Volcanion iirc. All the other ones, you have to have.

How? Ive completed the delta episode.


Not something you can just turn off and restart because its a back to back fight--that's what got me.

Do I have to rechallenge the E4 again?

You have to defeat the Elite 4 again, then return to the place you encounter Rayquaza. :)

So I decided to have my friend hold my Froakie and Celebi for me so I could start the game over and get the other two starters (I hadn't gotten my first badge yet, so it's not like I lost a lot of game time).  Anyway, after starting the game often enough for us each to get all three starters I started on my quest with Froakie, Chespin, Fennekin and Celebi as my crew. Since I am playing the game for real this time, I put in my Mew code.  And just for grins, I thought I'd try the Celebi mystery gift again. 

Guess who has 2 Celebis and a Mew in their arsenal... :biggrin:

Apparently if you erase your data and start the game again, you can receive another of the current legendary via internet.  It doesn't work with the Mew codes, though.  Those are a one use deal.

Lol I just came back from a fleamarket (well indeed it was that one our local elementary school hosts once a year, they sell mosty kids clothes but a few toys too) and I found something Pokemon lol. Its a book for young readers with the story of blue / red edition <3 lol, too cute!


Btw, did somebody here download the blue/red/yellow edition at the Nintendo E Shop? I first hesitated but my husband bought me an E Shop card for it <3 I downloaded blue and yellow edition, playing the blue one atm! Its sooo cool, I really enjoy it!

Looking at the cards brings me back to grade school :) Grade 7 in particular but I cant remember when they started with the cards--it may have been a year before that. I remember Base and Jungle set clearly.  My brother and I...I think went up to team rocket before loosing interest? Maybe the one after that?

I remember he ended up getting a happy birthday Pikachu card in the mail though--that was cool.  And do you guys remember the mewtwo card you got when going to see pokemon 2000 (I think it was pokemone 2000?) in theatres?  We were in line for the first opening of the show..I remember trying to decode the card.


Welp, looks like im going to bring my team back in to kick some butt.  Thats going to be fun >>  Maybe ill mix it up a bit. Do I need rayquazza in party at the spot where you caught it? Or will Deoxys just appear?

How goes the shiny hunting?

Was it a mewtwo card that came with the movie? I thought it was Mew, unless I'm confusing it with something else. Was there a card released with the first movie too?
Either way I used to have two of the mew cards, but I gave one to my brother and the other I lost. Don't know if he still has it or any of his cards anymore.

I still have all of my pokemon cards. I was really close with my neighbors son before they moved and his older brother gave me a set of japanese cards (that are authentic as far as I'm aware, at least I hope so). A lot of originals, a few first editions too! I also have some bootlegs mixed in form a fake set I bought but I can't really pick out the fakes aside form maybe two cards. I have a fake foil exeggutor that claims it evolves form a chikorita or something  :lol:
I'd still collect pokemon cards if I had enough of an excuse to but I just don't. I collected the pony trading cards to fill that little hole but they don't really make them now.
I'll probably never sell my pokemon cards though  :)

Post by: Jocelyn on March 06, 2016, 04:57:11 PM
I believe the card was a Mew, my brother and I got those from the theater as well. I still have mine, but my fiance likes cards (he plays Magic mostly) and he liked the ancient rune-y Mew one, so I gave it to him. I also had a killer water deck that always beat my brother, which was a big deal to me because I never ever beat him in games, lol. But it's been so long since I've really done anything with those cards.

I can't believe it's been 20 years that Pokemon's been out! I remember when it was new and everyone was obsessed with it. I've recently gotten back into collecting Pokemon merch on a whim. And I found a lot of my childhood collections - we had a lot of pretty cool stuff from my family in Japan. We even went to the Pokemon Center in Osaka in 2001, so I have all kinds of plush from there. When I was looking up some of these items, I found out that two plush in particular are very sought after! They're PlushPlush, if that means anything to anyone - Chikorita and Wobbuffet :) Chikorita was mine, and Wobbuffet was my brother's until he lost interest and gave it to me. It took me months to get used to the fact that this hulky Bulkarita I had for years is considered super rare, haha. Now I'm hunting down this other type of plush I got in Osaka, "kutakutas". They're little terrycloth beanies, and I think they're the predecessors to the current Kuttari plush. But they're cute, I had Squirtle, Togepi, Totodile, and Pichu.

I recently got Omega Ruby from my brother, working on the Delta part. But I've never seen a shiny, so I'm pretty mad jealous of those of you that have found multiples! I think the only shiny I had ever was a lame tentacool in the original Ruby, and I guess he was lost in the passage of time. But these new games are way too cool. I hadn't played any Pokemon games for 13 years, but on the same random whim I picked up my old Ruby game...then I got White, then Y and now OR...So I flew through 13 years of Pokemon in like, four months lol. And the new ones are so cool, haha.

My fiance and I kinda cheated with the Mew cards. We got like, 8 of them, and I was going to restart my Y game so he could give it a run through...so we kept on getting the Mews and wiping the game until we used up all the cards. But to my credit, I didn't know that you could reset the nature until I was down to my last card. I just wanted a modest or timid Mew, lol. I guess we could still cheat with the other legendaries, but I don't even know any of them after Celebi. Mew was the only one that I really know or cared about.

Okay wow, this was kind of a ramble, lol. I hope it didn't veer too off topic! I didn't collect ponies as a kid so I don't really share in nostalgia here often, but I was totally into Pokemon.

The first Pokemon movie in theatres had four cards: Pikachu, Mewtwo, Electabuzz(?), and Dragonite. Heh I remember going to see the movie first thing that Saturday morning and they ALREADY had ran out of cards the day before. IIRC, for the home release, it came with a different Mewtwo card.

The Ancient Mew card was given out for the 2nd movie, Pokemon 2000. It's one of my favorite pokemon cards of all, especially with how shiny/holographic it was. I wanna say for the home release for that movie, you got a Lugia or one of the Legendary Birds cards. *goes to look online*

What I love is how you can now get those movie/promo cards for a good price on eBay nowadays. I had bought an Ancient Mew card that had minor bending damage for $3 some months back.

Man, I just realized I slept almost exactly 12 hours, so I forgot to take a picture of my cards! Last night at work was absolutely exhausting....so many weird dreams! I had a dream I found a red gyarados plush keychain at hot topic. xD

As soon as I came into work just now, I looked for the celebi box and realized he won't be here for another two days LOL.

When I saw Pokemon the first movie in theaters I got a Dragonite card with a messenger bag! I was happy because the dratini line are my favorite Pokemon ever next to eevee. I still have it too! I have the movie pikachu card somewhere too! I still have my ancient new card from Pokemon 2000 and the mewtwo promo that came with my first movie DVD.

Let me know what sticker you got in the Pokemon Lotte and I want to see what Pokemon Center charms you got! xD


(I was offline for a day and the thread took off again XD )
Here are the charms I got from the Pokemon Center, and some that also came in yesterday that I had ordered a few weeks ago (they are so cool!) And the sticker I got from the Lotte was Froakie :D

I actually have Garchomp's, as well as Venusaur and Houndoom.

I'd love to own more though, like Goodra or Sceptile...

I am in LOVE with the Pokemon charms, and I wish that the US online store carried more (the Eevee family set is to die for; they are soooo pretty). I would love to own more of the legendary ones (the birds and Lugia specifically. Drool worthy lol). I wasn't sure how much I was going to love Noivern when I ordered it, but it looks soooo much better in real life than pictures show.

I've been trying to not buy so many of the pins even, but I had to have the gyarados, black rayquaza, and dragonite ones as well as the LE ones!

EDIT: oh dear, I shouldn't have stumbled on pokemoncenters website. I saw magikarp socks, celebi pokedoll, ooooh dear I need a straightjacket, my laptop phone tablet and anything else that can connect to PayPal locked away oh yes and my debit/credit cards broken in block of ice. LOOK AT ALL THE KUTTARI AND CHU PLUSH OMG.

Was it mew?  I could have swore it was mewtwo..

Maybe ill have to dig it up.  it was a holo and all the wording had to be decrypted.

Well, I finally beat down that stubborn deoxys.  After killing it...over half a dozen times.  That's what triggered the nat dex though, so I have the shiny charm now.

I think nurse joy still treats you normally though (I cant remember if I checked).  In pearl you are treated like a celebrity.

Watch, ill NEVER see a shiny in that game in the wild>>

Right now im going to work on completing both dexes in Y.  I haven't really played through the game in a long while (I mean, I finished it then put it down) so I need to try to remember where my 'trainer farming' areas are >>

Aside from that,  im just blissey training.  Kind of want a bunch of lv. 100 legends to transfer on >>  I figure, it was a huge pain to catch the lot of them, may as well max them out, right?

Sadly I have no idea where to even begin looking for this set and the person who posted it hasn't answered anyone who asked where she got it. Ugh!  -_-

My guess is it's a sticker set only sold in Japan. Maybe I should bug my friend who lives there...

Well, looks like im eating my words.

I...found and caught a shiny oddish last night o.o  I wasn't really looking for long either, it was more casual horde encounters.

I don't think its going to happen again for awhile though.  And no, no pictures o.o I have no idea how to utilize the 3DS camera and I don't have a phone.

Thanks Lala! I didn't find the stickers, but I'm tempted to preorder those kuttari plushies. Ampharos looks so adorable!

So anyone else still waiting anxiously to hear more news about Sun and Moon? I know it's still early, but I need the excitement!

I've been stalking every pokebeach news site for any new news!!!! There is an unconfirmed rumor that one of the new pokes is a bird Pokemon, its blue and white so I think water? There is art of it floating around the web, it may just be fanart though! I've also seen some art of a dragon-type and ground-type eeveelutions next to an eevee but this is also unconfirmed! The pictures look like decent Sugimori-style fanart to me. I'm still so excited regardless if these pokemon are the real deal or not! x3

Idk if anyone posted this but there's a promo for Pokémon bank going on right now where if you log in you get the Regi trio. I just saw it on serebii.net and tried it.  If it was already posted, sorry!

Soooo close to my shiny charm!  Only 20-ish to go, not counting the event mons (which I didn't realize up until last night that I DON'T need them to get the charm, phew). 

Can't wait to hopefully breed a shiny Shinx/Luxio/Luxray and some others!

Well, looks like im eating my words.

I...found and caught a shiny oddish last night o.o  I wasn't really looking for long either, it was more casual horde encounters.

I don't think its going to happen again for awhile though.  And no, no pictures o.o I have no idea how to utilize the 3DS camera and I don't have a phone.


Yay how exciting!!! :D

Im happy :)  I don't think I could manage to actually commit to full on hunting for them though so ill just take it as my special little one to cherish as 'im' the one that caught it.

And bellosom is beautiful shiny.

That sticker set is adorable!  And..I haven't heard anything more about sun/moon but the theories out there is insane. 

One thing that 'is' confirmed is the word 'flowers' but that could mean anything.

I was looking at the second movie trailer last night..I think there are some huge clues that may link a few things to the games.  I wont get into it other then the crystals in the Japanese logos may be related to something major if the movie trailer has anything to do about it.

Since everybody is showcasing their shinies, it's now my turn!

Spoiler
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

My first shiny! A lovely pink Wailmer I found while chain-fishing. Too bad her name is P!mp My Ride (nothing like avoiding the censor) and is my HM mule. I named her like this because Wailmer has got an unique surfing sprite in ORAS and well, I wanted to make my surfing mount sprite prettier. Never thought it was going to be THAT pretty! Too bad her surf sprite isn't pink too.

Verdolaga! The first shiny I find accidentaly (no Masuda, chain-fishing or dex nav chaining). Her name means "greenish" in Catalan, but also refers to a very gossipy person in the marketplace. She is for trade and I'm interested in another shiny for her. I can change or remove her name if desired

This Carvanha hasn't got any name, I can't come up with any. He is up for trade too! As with Verdolaga, shinies for shinies.

Mullet! I don't want to evolve him into Gyarados, he's already golden (:P) His name comes from Club Penguin and the good memories I had about fishing the ginourmous Mullet with my cousins. Then nobody believed us!

Such LOVELIES Dreamer, and your 2DS is pretty! I'm actually looking for the pink wailmer right now! Fishing is SO addictive! I love it! Congrats, you have a lovely haul there! Take the spoiler off! xD

(I still have yet to find gold magikarp LOL! One of the easiest shines and I haven't gotten one since SS )

@pikashoes I've actually contacted my friend and he will be on later! *I'm so antsy OMG!!!!!* I WANT TO CATCH ME SHINY CHIBIRYUUUUUUUUUU!

Post by: Sora on March 09, 2016, 04:28:42 PM
Haha, Dreamer, you and I have the same 2DS! :P

The only shiny I got through the X was a shiny Inkay which I hatched by surprise. I just kept Inkay in the daycare so that it would level up enough for me to evolve it, when that popped out of an egg XD
I've found a few through Wonder Trade, surprisingly.

I'm also  gutted, but Game apparently didn't receive all the Mew plushies that they were supposed to, even cancelling some preorders. Now it doesn't look like I can get one :/

My Arcade Block came in and one of this month's items was one of three Pokemon t-shirts with evolutions of either Bulbasaur, Squirtle or Charmander done in either green and black, blue and black or orange-red and black. I'm a huge grass pokemon fan and Bulbasaur is my favorite original pokemon. I got the Bulbasaur shirt in my box!!! I'll take pictures later, but I'm still sitting here and just staring at how awesome it is. :cheer: Not only did I get an awesome shirt, I got (for me) *the* awesome shirt out of a set of three, *the* one I would have picked. I am very happy right now.

So how about my friend in FL  found the anniversary Jirachi plush and pearly figure just earlier! He has pictures on his IG but I won't post them without permission. That's TWO people I know now that has found both Jirachi this week! I asked my TRU if they had any in the back and they didn't have any, but I did get my celebi pokeball figure today!

He lives near where I used to live, around the Orlando metroplex!  Not sure exactly where though but he lives really crazy close to Disney World!

Post by: SpaceButtPonies on March 10, 2016, 05:53:56 PM
I live 2 hours away from there.
Plus I might get it where I live! Need to let my boyfriend know since he knows what's coming and going at TRU.

If I find anything jirachi here in TX I will be sure to post pictures! So far I have only found the Pokedoll at Target.

 My TRU are now expecting in shipments of plush too according to my S.I.L., 4 of them coming- not sure what they are. Here is my two friends on IG that found the Jirachi stuff:

LOOK someone else found one! I dont know this person though, but I will follow them! Im guessing they live in Hawee-wee? x3
https://www.instagram.com/p/BCtuuPxlXai/?taken-by=pokemon_hawaii

Also if you havnt seen already, Pokemon Center (US website) is selling the monthly event pokemon in adorable Pokedoll plush! I ordered Mew and Clebi along with some Kutarri for free shipping!

So have you guys seen the new Lugia and Ho-oh cosplay chu's hitting Japan in April!? Im absolutely ecstatic to say the least! Lugia is my favorite legendary and has been so since I was 9 years old. I am totally freaking out over this because I collect some of those cosplay chus!  This is now my favorite campaign ahhhh! I know the Kyoto PC has Ho-Oh as their mascot so maybe these Johto bird chus will be sold there? Im happy they are using a Johto theme for Kyoto PC since Johto has a lot of historic themes based on buildings in Kyoto! :squee:

The Lugia and Ho-oh plushies are nice, and I do love me some Lugia but...Pikachu. Bleh. Makes me glad I don't collect anything Pikachu related, saves me money. Even if he is wearing a costume of my favorite legendary. :P

Haha, those Ditto transformation plushies are cute.

I found some super adorable Pokemon bathroom accessories while browsing eBay. They feature a handful of Pokemon and Goomy is one of them! I absolutely adore Goomy, so I need all of it! I'm even thinking of making the master bathroom Pokemon themed (even getting my best friend to do a painting or two to hang on the walls) and using our current frog themed items for the guest bathroom. I think I know what I'm spending some of my tax return on! I won't tell my husband, though...it'll be a surprise. :devious:

ARGH that Jirachi plushie is so cute ;__; Jirachi is my favourite Pokemon. I wont buy it though, or any of the 20th anniversary plush :/ I can't STAND the texture of the fake velour fabric they're made from, the sheen looks awful to me as well. I really wish they'd gone with a softer minky fabric. I do like the figures, though, so I think I'll be collecting quite a few of those :)

Go to the safari zone! I have had lots of luck with shinies there and try to fish inbetween two rocks! Congrats on shiny charm!

Speaking of which, gotta go pick mine up now in X version! Completed the Kalos dex yesterday thanks to my nice friend who traded and traded back event pokes!

What's funny with the safari zone the shiny charm doesn't work. Though what's nice you always have a 1 out of 500 chance of finding a one :3

Using sweet scent to lure out hordes seems to be the easiest way.  Just run if you don't see a shiny.  No chaining required :)

Aren't those the rates with the Friend Safari in XY? I keep reading on somogon that the Safari Zone in ORAS doesn't have the 1/500 encounter rate. I know the shiny charm doesn't work with the MM in hatching eggs, just with wild Pokemon! If there is a 1/500 shiny rate in the safari zone without the charm I've had bad luck before I got the charm! xD

I love shiny Slugma! I had two. Keeping the one as a Slugma forever, but I evolved the other because Magcargo is one of my favorite Pokémon.

That's a great name, btw. Haha.

Congrats Lala, hunt for that dratini! I one time lent my boyfriend a regular dratini with a dreamball so he could breed from it, I walk away and 10 minutes later he is screaming, "I got a shiny dratini!!!"  I was super jelly!

Also shiny slugmas are wicked cool shinnies!

Are we still bragging about our shinies? Because boy do I have a collection of photos for Y'ALL!
I like to do this thing where I have a theme when naming my Pokemon and since AS is my ~main~ game they're all named after ponies. I put images of said ponies in too since I had to shorten a lot of names to get the game to accept them. ?u?

And before someone points it out: no, these guys are not legit but they are %100 legal.
Meaning they have no ridiculous abilities, attacks or stats. :)

Anyways. I'll put them under this thingy because there's 45 pictures in here...(whew)

Hehe I had thought about evolving her, but I just like her metallic look too much to do so. xD I wished more pokemon had neat shiny versions like that, and not ones that barely look different than the normal one... like Garchomp.  :cry:

And thank you!  I had named her in part from one of the villains in Sailor Moon. xD

WOW Sapphire Rain! I LOVE all your shinies!!! I also have a PC box full of shinies, but they are in my X version and most are from my poke radar days in platinum and HGSS! All of them are legit as I found them all myself!  I really want to take pictures of them all now too! I love your shiny charizard, that's an egg I feel like I will never hatch. Your shiny collection is so pretty and I love your nicknames after ponies!

Haha! I can hardly tell the difference between shiny garchomp and regular garchomp! xD

Havent gotten my shiny wild dratini yet, and my husband found one in HGSS and he is in my PC (I stole it from his game xD) Tomorrow for sure I will be hardcore fishing!

I have to agree with everyone about shiny slugma! Just googled it omg it looks like molten metal or something! x3 I'm at work and alllll I keep thinking about is Pokemon. I want to come home and play the heck out of X version crazy bad! Its so bad OMG I keep googling shinies!

Also on my IG feed someone else found the Jirachi plush! I asked which State they live in, they haven't answered yet.

Ya know what Pokemon is growing on me? Cherubi and even Cherrim! I need to get a plush of Cherubi to go with my Oddish! Totally OTP!  :heart:

Eeeek too cute, right!? I can totally agree with that! x3 :heart: I've always thought they were very cute but I all of a sudden want cherubi and cherrim everything! I love cherry blossoms (every room in my home is decorated in cherry blossom stuff!) and I'm deeply in love with the idea of adding cherrim stuff in my living room. I bought a Jakks cherrim just now for $1.25! I need me a cherubi plush now!

WOAH! I googled shiny cherrim and although it doesn't look that much different than the original I'm in love with it!

Macaron. Or Bon Bon. Or Mochi. Or Muffins. Or Cupcake?

I am a bit weird with food names, though . I named three of my Pokemon after candy: Skittles (Garchomp), Snickers (Kyogre), and Twizzlers (Rayquaza).  xD

I'm loving how your garchomp is named Skittles X3
All I can picture is scary land shark, then you call their name and suddenly has cute puppy reactions when excited.

But I have to wright these names down, pick and choose what I like more. Thank you so much for the suggestions.

ROFL that is actually the reason why I gave my Garchomp that name.  :lol: 
I was thinking, "what is a cute but not so obvious name you can give to a scary-looking female Garchomp?" and during a conversation with my boyfriend I jokingly mentioned how I could name her Skittles, adding a "Awwww come here Skittles! Come here, girl!" in a cute pet owner voice.

He laughed and made fun of me for it when I made it official...but he has NO room to talk because he named his Farfetch'd, "Beaky" when he was starting out playing Y version. And let me tell you - I was dying of laughter when I found that out , because of how simple and cute that name is.  (Which is why whenever I randomly hatch Farfetch'd eggs, I name them either Beaky Jr. or Beaky-chan, depending on gender. xD). Always been a fan of that bird since I saw the Season 1 episode with it.

And you're welcome for the name suggestions! :D

Post by: Strawberry Swirl on March 12, 2016, 03:40:33 AM
I'm a bit of a fan of food names too...in SoulSilver my thing was names of fruits n' vegetables, so I had ones like Durian (Arbok), Cherry (Typhlosion), Plum (Espeon), and Tomato (Parasect).

I like gemstone names too (thank you steven universe...)
In X I have Sardonyx (Ivysaur) or Cherry Opal (Fletchinder)!

Sometimes I just don't theme at all.
This leads to Blue examples like Cinammon (Ninetales), Angelica (Haunter, still need someone to help them evolve btw), Rigby (Rhyhorn) or Cosmo (Mew)!

My sylveon is names Muoi (it means salt). And one of my eevees is Che (which is a fantastic dessert)

Gelato would be a cute nickname ^^

Haha! xD That is exactly my reaction when I read Skittles! I LOVE when people give their big buff pokemon cute names! Mine is just named Garchomp, huh I might nickname mine something food now! xD Hmmm how about I name mine Taffy? xD OOOooooooo wait, Captain Crunch! XD Garchomp is seriously one of my favorite pokemons though! Ever since Gen 4 one is ALWAYS in my party! I usually stick with a girl one, but in AS I got a male withva Hasty nature from an egg. Garchomp is soooo Bad ***! I screamed like a 3 yr old at Christmas when I saw Sycamore's Garchomp on my TV for the first time!

My Sylveon is named Faela! (fay-lah) I came up with it myself! Someday when I make that shiny eevee i found a shiny Sylveon I was going to name it something simple like Ribbons, Tootsie, Confetti, or Poptart. I like Elvish names for Eeveelutions! Something lazy like Sylvee is also cute!

Yup. Its shiny! The band on its body is orange instead of red and its body color is more of a neon olive color green.

Also more water cuties I got recently, but from ORAS!

Cherubi/cherrium were my favourites in the Pearl/Diamond era.  I was shocked to hear that they made it onto the top 5 most useless/forgotten list.

I was out spreading honey on trees...not just for combee, you know o.@

Actually, they are probably in my top 10 favourite grass types :)

I named my shiny Oddish Odi.  I usually don't give them nicknames though.  I just wanted to for this one so I can keep track^^

And I got a shiny poliwad in a wonder trade a few months ago?  you could bearly tell..im not sure the other person even knew.

I have no idea if it was caught naturally or altered though..theres no real way of knowing.  Its a Politoed now..I just like the colours better then on a poliwrath :)

....huh.  Serebii lists stuff happening in corocoro with the new games starting next month (April 15).  Atleast they are confirming they will be providing more information?

ETA: What colour is your 3DS, Lala? That looks like it could be mine (pearl/midnight purple).  Hard to see with the lighting.

Post by: Princess Lala on March 12, 2016, 12:44:03 PM
Yes my 3DS is the pearly purple ombre, Melody! :3 Ive got puffy pokemon stickers on it haha!  We got our 3DS's when XY came out and im dumb and didnt read that a pikachu one was coming out! xD I still really like the purple though! I might buy the pikachu 3DS someday.

Oooo what about CoroCoro magazine news!? I LOVE when CoroCoro comes out and pokemon sites post scans of the magazine pages! Gotta go check this out!
EDIT: Oh, neat! So starting next month CoroCoro is releasing little tiny tidbits of new stuff for Sun and Moon in eaxh issue! Ahhhh this is what i get excited about! *all aboard the hype train!*

On a random not I heard this song called Dream Weaver at work, real 70s or 80s style sounding. Well the beginning the pretty space noise sound kind of like mew to me! xD I imagined mew flying under a starry sky with a purple galaxy, idk why. Gotta lay off the hibiscus tea I think, it makes me too chill to where I get weirdly creative. x3

So how about my friend James got one of those promotional shiny legendaries going on in Japan right now from Wonder Trade! xD Not fair!

It looks like France is getting something like the poke kyun collection box, but is named Elite Generations trainer box or something like that!

I can help as well, or I can trade you over one of my many Milotics! Or I can make one with a specific nature, ive got some hardcore pokeblocks from all the berries I like to plant! xD

I realllly want to pick up HGSS again! I was thinking about how much I love those games even though im having a blast in XY\ORAS! Johto just feels so cozy to me, Im almost "homesick" from not playing it! *i hope that makes sense? Lol!* With the lugia and hooh plushichus coming oit, it makes me really remember how much I love the Whirl Island, Ecruteak, and that dragon cave! I love the Belle tower too! Telling you guys now when we go to Japan in a year or so (yes we are setting a date for Tokyo! Hotel and train rail passes already saved up for) we are taking a train to Kyoto and I will pretend some of the historic buildings are the Tin and Bell Towers! *will buy legendary toys and bring them there for pictures!*

Aaaaah and another person on my  IG found Jirachi plush, in New Jersey! They are defiently out there now like wildfire popping up! In busy today but I will be going back up to TRU on  Monday! Ours just got the celebi figure in, so it will be a while before i see the figure with pokeball.

Have you guys noticed  some of the Generations cards have artwork of old pokemon card arts by the original artists!? Love it. I noticed this with slowpoke yesterday!

Oh so many shinies :D huge congrats to you all!! Btw, can someone explain the shiny charm thing to me? I have to admit : never heard of, lol. Edit : nevermind, found out about it! Wow thats so coool!!

I dont own any shinies I caught myself -_- we have a handful of them but they all came via GTS trades. My daughter once met a shiny Tauros once but didnt catch it :/



Gah, Im still a little sad that german stores dont carry much pokemon stuff besides the games themselves.  :/ (well, should be thankful, lol, I would be flat broke otherwise XD)

Buuuut : I had some fleamarket luck today, bought Pokemon Platinum (YAY, finally!!!) and an awesome Game Boy Color carry case thing featuring Pikachu <3 Ah and a tiny Lickitung figurine :P

Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! [Catch Celebi Now!]
Post by: Princess Lala on March 13, 2016, 10:54:25 AM
Congrats on Platinum!!!!!! Thats one of my favorite games too!!!! I love the Poketch in that game- you can easily track egg steps! I also like the pokeradar too, i have found so many shinies in Platinum! I love the music too!

The shiny charm is an item you can get for completing the national pokedex! Its like a little blue sash with a star charm on it that sits in your key items and having it in your bag (no select or anything, just if you have it with you) you chances of finding shinies in the wild increases by 300% or so! In Gen5 it can even help you hatch shiny eggs using the Masuada Method (MM)! Chaininsquarers to encountering and defeating (or capturing!) pokemon consecutivley with a pokeradar, fishingpole, or dexnav. The more pokemon you chain the better your chances get! Doesnt gaurantee a ßhiny but makes the odds a lot better! Hope I explained it well!

Oooh! Which lickitung!? Is it the TOMY one with the green platform or the tiny tiny figures you can use for the pocket playsets? (The playset ones have a square hole on the underside and came in those coin turn crank capsule machines!)
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! [Catch Celebi Now!]
Post by: Einhornbaby on March 13, 2016, 11:32:23 AM
Thank you :) I still have to learn lots and lots when it comes to a.) Pokemon Merch and b.) Shinies lol :P But your explanation clears a lot for me :D
I have tested the game now, it works properly but as much as I want to try it out... I promised myself to finish the main storyline of Pokemon Blue Edition first XD So I gotta get on with that before I start a new game! But im already soooo excited!!! *bounces* I wanted Platinum for a while now and Im so happy that I finally got it. Last year in November I found a copy at Ebay, it was listed as brand new. Bought it and guess what?! It was a fake!!! A well done one including the package and such but no papers inside. And the cartridge felt strange to the touch. It had no serial code either. I confronted the seller and they never replied, they just sent my money back immidiately. I guess they knew what they were selling.

And well, uhm, yeah, which Lickitung? No idea, lol! I can only say, its like the other figurines I found the other day... ok, some of them say 2010 but its the same kind of plastic and so on.
Ive taken a pic with my phone now lol. The figurine itself says 2008 Pokemon Nintendo.

Ah, and thats the bag I found <3

Oh, thats the Jakks Pacific LickyLicky! I am loving that GBC case omg! I asked for that specific one as a kid and never got it, but my dad got me the silver and gold version bag! I still have it too! I use it all the time xD Sad to hear about the fake PlatinumBuying games is risky but sometimes you can land a good deal! ! I got a lot of all the pokemon GBA games for $15 once (Chinese seller) and they all work just great! I was able to transfer my pokemon to HGSS and some of those pokemon are even on my X version with me! :heart:

EDIT: LOOK! I found a shiny Corsola!

Yep, I still do!  ^.^ I listed my FC at the bottom of my sig, I'll add you all to mine. Thank you so much! I did want to ask does anybody have the Pokebank app for their 3DS? I was thinking of getting it but wanted to know  how it was before I bought it.

Post by: Princess Lala on March 14, 2016, 12:21:32 AM
I like the Pokebank app! I've still got mine and I barely use i anymore, but its very handy to have if you have other games you need Pokemon from! When I was filling up my pokedex I used it like mad for my BW games after using that Poke transfer from my HGSS! I think it's still $5, I say go for it!

I can also help with trades or catching Pokemon if anyone wants something! Even a battle too if anyone is bored!  I'm always playing  :blush: I'm usually online looking for battles and shiny trades after 8am Texas Time!

No shiny luck this weekend...tried fishing, tried hordes, tried (and failed at) more chaining.  And I bred a box and a half of Shinx, but didn't expect results from that yet, haha.

The quest continues!

Congrats on your shiny Corsola, Lala - I like it in blue!

Thank you and please keep trying! I promise persistance will give you a shiny-even without a shiny charm! Are yoy using the Masuada Meyhod for eggs? You will need two of the same pokemon from different parts of the world IRL (i may be abke to help as i collect eevee, vivilian, and pikachu!) and that will really inctease those odda! For fiahing fish inbetween patches of water inbetween or adjacent to those bug rocks!

OMG someone nearby me in Ft Worth found Jirachi!!!!! AHHHH! I dont think i can make it put there today as hubby and james work, but tomorrow for certain I will be out and about! If anyone needs celebi i will post what my stores have and try to grab one! Always shoot me a PM too!

A friend of mine found a Jirachi plush and picked it up for me. I didn't even ask, but he knows I'm collecting the 20th anniversary plushies. Gotta love it when people think about you for things like that! He said it'll be my birthday gift, since he'll be visiting around then. So I'll have a Jirachi to add to the Pokemon family in a few weeks. :)

I can't remember, does the shiny charm appear in Pokemon X? I'm wanting to find a yellow Goomy. (evil grin)

It does, and yay shiny Goomy! I'm a bit obsessed with Goomy/Sliggoo/Goodra, so I had 3 shiny Goomys at one point so I could have all 3 stages as shinies.

The Jirachi plush have appeared at my local store! I happened to be out on Saturday with my mother, since she had to run in to her office and we were doing lunch together afterwards, and since we were right by a TRU I decided to make a detour lol. Glad I did! I went a head and picked up the plush and the figure, since they had both. I'll post pics later

Doesn't the MM also work with a ditto and another pokemon? As long as both pokemon have different regions form each other and your game?  I haven't tried it but im kind of hoping thats the case while I breed for my other dex in Y

..slowly.  very slowly.

Husband surprised me and came home early, took all of us to TRU and no luck- but they are getting a truck with some on Wednesday! Going to a real ramen house for lunch so the trip wasnt a waste! The guy at TRU at customer service was awesome, he wrote down the item numbers for me then he just kinda said screw it because he will call me if they get any in and hold some for me- hes apparently friends with my SIL and collects the 20th anniversary too!

@melodys_angel As far as I know the MM does work with ditto- but the ditto has to be from a different region than the other pokemon!

Congrats kitkumi!!!! Im excited to see! x3

Here is Jirachi! I hope that those of you trying to hunt it down can find it. My TRU had about ten in stock I believe, though they only had about five or six of the figure. The type of fabric REALLY looks good on Jirachi.

Also, with all the talk about shiny Pokemon, I think I'll boot up my game tonight and give the fishing method a try :D I need some sparkly fish (though I've had the most luck in the friend safari. I caught a shiny Ponyta and an Eevee that way. Soooo pretty)

Wait..Doesn't puni-puni mean wiggle, as in the pudding like dessert?

Im..having a hard time seeing that green blob in the same light o.o


Friend safari in X/Y doesn't need the shiny charm, right?  Maybe ill put my Y in later today and see..though the safari is messed up..alot of the third slots are wiped when I know those people have cleared E4...then again that's the game I switch 3DS when transferring pokemon so...

No no, you're thinking of "Puri-puri".... they got the sound word from the word pudding, which they pronounce "purin". Puni does mean squishy.

That pudding is delicious though for the record! xDI love to make it myself and we sometimes get the Crayon Shin Chan "butt dance" mold purin kit at Hmart! Puri-puri is also a word for anger (like in manga) But yes, puni means squishy! *plays with baby zygarde like squish ball toy*

Go get your shinies in the Friend Safari- 1\500 without shiny charm! Shiny charm isnt needed there nor works there which is awesome in my opinion! If you need my FC id be happy to share it! Im not sure what type I am nor which pokemon show up with me but id be happy to help either way! x3

Tomorrow my TRU is getting their truck! I hope jirachi is on there and not pikachu this time!

Also, I know you mentioned it earlier in the thread some time back, but the official Pokemon site has an article/announcement up for the Target event running on Saturday, which is appropriate to the current conversation because... shiny Magikarp card! No shiny charm required to get this one lol. (Also apparently the Charizard EX box of Generation cards will be available. I really want to see the figure in detail, because it looks like it is pretty awesome).

Ive been watching this carefully.  Currently its been confirmed these birds will be available in Japan, Spain, and now the UK..which means theres a good chance it will hit the US and hopefully Canada.

I just wanted to post this because we have quite a few int he UK and im not sure how common that bit of info will be :)

I was very excited to be bombarded with Pokemon toys today! x3 the pokedolls are 2016 20th anniversary pokedolls (they are apparently releasing each event Pokemon each month is adorable pokedoll plush form) and get them while you can! I wanted free shipping so I got 3 kutarri plush to make the order $50 and qualify for free shipping! I've always wanted these 3 and I'm tempted to collect the rest off the eevee kutarri as well! I bought cherrim on impulse, $1.25 off ebay! x3

That is a lovely haul! I managed to snag a charizard box the other day and I thought the same thing as you; what is up with the wing?! I've opened the box and the cards already and it hasn't completely grown on me yet;  I like the other two mega evolution charizard figures that they did some time back. Though it bursting out of the flames is cool.

Also, does this mean that you no longer need the mew poke-doll? Cause if you don't I'll de-box the little bugger and give it a forever home at my place lol

Did you get a chance to turn on your DS, Lala?

Whats the quality like on that sleeping eevee?  ive been eyeing it for..2 months now? But I don't have space to get many things (I have 20th anniversary Pika and that made me happy.  The only other thing I was possibly concidering is shaymin when it comes out and im still on the fence).... and since we don't have Target anymore and I don't think Walmart sells those types of plush, the only way to grab one is through the site.

Ive never seen a cherrium toy before.  That's..awesome, its got to be within my top 15 favourites :)  I don't think id get a toy unless it was really small, but id be more into stationary...stickers, paper, notepads :)


Soooo...friend safari hunting is evil.  Been trying to get a ponyta and it gets to the point where I cant tolerate running around anymore. 

Ironically though, I asked a friend of mine to turn his DS on a sec so it could re-register the fact he beat the E4 (it wipes that data when shifting games from DS to DS it seems) and I decided to stay in his safari for a bit.  Nearly missed the shiny..chandeleure? Stage 2 of litwik.  I wasn't really looking and swore I heard something different, then had to get on serebii to confirm because the colours are SO similar..its pretty much the difference between a slight hue change and the eyes o.o  im going to have to be a bit more careful.


Also decided to try to clear my head around EV/IV.  I don't battle so I normally don't care.  But trying to read up on the IV thing is like trying to shove quantum physics down the throat of an English major.  Best way to figure it out yourself..is to actually do it.

Im not sure what I got myself into but through the process I think its becoming a bit more clear.  I just wish Eevees gender ratio was more even.  I have females but no one with the nature I want (I had to look that up too), or the IVs needed to cover what the male didn't have (since im not going ot be evolving Eevee, it looks like special attack wont matter but everything else should be usefull..especially speed.  So Im stuck trying ot breed for 5 out of 6 IV white trying to dexnav for a female with 2 IVs that the male is missing and the right nature (id use a ditto but finding an eevee might be a bit easier).


Not really sure why I picked Eevee...I have a lv. 100 male and all of the eeveelutions.  I guess I just want a female that I tailored myself (even came up with the moveset...that was the easy part; I had an umbreon with the egg move I wanted)


Taking bets on how long it will take before I get dfrustrated :/

Just wanted to post my (fat) vintage pikachu. He's huge! It's not a 20th anniversary release, but I bought it for the anniversary <3 Too bad his arms are too stubby to play my digital blue version xD

Aliyahbetd ahhh i used to have that SAME pickachu i think! Does his lil cheekies light up and he says "pika pika!"?? x3

Kitkumi, you are correct! I will no longer be needing mew since he is so deliciously cheap on pokemoncenter and easy to get! I ordered him since i wanted celebi and some kuttari plush and aaah free shipping!! Thank you for getting him for me just in case! :hug: Im sure he has already made himself happy in your home so of course hang onto him!  :biggrin:

melodys_angel, i added you! I was busy today but ive been playing off and on today! Been fishing for some shinies again but taking a break since ive got company in town! :heart: The quality on these kuttari plush are very good! They feel like fuzzier beanie babies, nice and soft! There were two eevees- one with eyes closed and one with eyes open! I want sleepy vaporeon next omg! Husband said he wants umbreon, i will probably get him one as well because he likes these a lot!

Sort of on the same topic, but i wanted to spread the happy news that we are in fact going to Japan early next year! We got in touch with our friends who live just outside the Studio Ghibli musuem and they will be letting my husband and I stay there for about 2 weeks! Im looking forward to learning all their rules with the help of my roomate and the person we are staying with (we are hardcore doing homework on that!) and im so excited to be using their bathroom! x3 ive been in a japanese-style bathroom before were you sit down and rinse your hair and shave before entering a bath, its so nice to know that is the norm over there! People come over and see my shower with cups, a stool, and a mirror near the bottom of the wall and are like what the heck Lari... xD Im excited to be using a real japanese bathroom! We are looking into rail passes because i really want to see as many Pokemon Centers as possible! I have 4 on my list I HAVE to go to! I want a picture with me next to the big statues of the PC mascots- especially that Hiroshima gyarados!

@Carrehz - Congrats on your Jirachi! I really am in love for the design of the plush; it is way more cute in person than I was expecting :D

@Lala - Mmkay, that is fine :) I'll unbox Mew and introduce it to my larger Mew plush lol

EDIT: The Pokemon swap is officially up and running :D Where I am, it is now an hour after midnight so officially the 19th XD

wow a Pokemom riot? Lol
I did read on reddit that someone went to their event and didnt get the Magikarp card either - they were handing out random holo cards. So I do wonder if it was a big screw-up, assuming same thing happens to other stores.

About to head out, so wish me luck. xD

Came back from my Target. Luckily, they had the Magikarp card, so I was abel to snag you one Kitkumi if you still needed/wanted it. :)

Apparently my store put out the TGC boxes at 8am, and from what the employee said a person came in and bought five or six of the Charizard sets shortly afterwards. When I had arrived, two emmployees bought the last two Charizard packs, and I felt bad for the guy that came up right at 11am and was mad that all the Charizard boxes were gone/taken.

I also decided touy a random pack of cards for the fun of it...but I wish I hadnt because I ended up getting mostly meh cards...and two Trubbish cards (with one of them being a holo). ^^'

I went at 11, and all the charzard boxes were gone except 3.  So we got the last three at buy two get one.
I also played the new pokemon fighting game but I wasn't impressed.

We got the promo card and it was strange because they also had random energy cards they started handing out.


They had other cool free stuff like a poser, hat and some other promos.  I can post them later if anyone would like to see them.

I do not understand people O.o  The first Target we were at, that didn't have the promo cards but instead just a stack of random foils, they just set the cards down and it was a mad rush for them, where people were taking anywhere between five and ten cards at least  -_- We just took one card each (I got Umbreon and he got Garchomp). As for the riot thing, I -really- thought that people were going to! After they went after the freebie cards everyone there just started surrounding the island/cash register area of the electronics and kept demanding the promo card, and when we left it was starting to get loud O_o

The second Target we got to had some!.... And had run out. Because the employees in charge of the event had just put them out on a table and didn't enforce any kind of limit, so they were gone in forty five minutes :/

Came back from my Target. Luckily, they had the Magikarp card, so I was abel to snag you one Kitkumi if you still needed/wanted it. :)

Thank you so much for grabbing me a spare card, but I was ultimately able to get one, through a very surprise source! My dad happened to stop in to a Target today and, knowing nothing about the event but knowing my love of Pokemon, picked me up one!! He handed it over when I stopped out at my parents house to visit. But thank you again so much; I really appreciate it, because if he hadn't, I would have missed out today T.T

..Are you sure? I could have swore I read somewhere that you were getting the legendary birds soon.  Check Serebii, it would have been posted there.

Don't feel bad about the card thing..they pulled Target out of Canada last year? 2 years ago? so not everyone is able to just take a drive down ;)

Honestly, Target would have survived if they would have listened to us.  Canadians love the stuff the US gets, and the low prices, and the fact that it has a website.  What did Canada get?  Empty shelves, things that were way over priced, not the same products, and no website.  They did it to themselves.

An umbreon promo sounds awesome!! Would you happen to have a picture?


When we went to the event I called one Target ahead of time and they said corporate had messed up and didn't send any cards. We went to two different Targets, were able to get the promo cards, and 3 charizard boxes :)

@ Kitkumi - Yeah when it came to the Charizard boxes, the employee mentioned that he probably should have put a limit on it. I agree on that, since I can only imagine how many people must have came by after I left, expecting the boxes to be there when the event started.
This event seems to be miscommunitcation all around. Some stores got the Magikarp cards in, some didnt.   Sorry that the ones you went to didnt put a limit on the cards.

That is really cool that your dad managed to surprise you with the Magikarp card! :D

If someone could grab one for myself too that would be amazing. My local target isn't doing it :(
If you needed the Shiny Magikarp card still, you can have the extra one I got. :D

The other three sides had a Wii (which was disconnected so I don't know what game was supposed to be sampled), an episode from the anime, and some bubble popping type game??? Someone was playing it so I couldn't get a close look.

I want to see if I can check out the other one at the mall a couple hours away to see if they have a different selection. I feel like I need to buy one, but I want a Pokemon I like more if possible. Though that Charmander or Cyndaquil would be welcome in my home too.

Aluke, I recall one in a mall in Oregon or Washington! Need! Sooooo much need. I hear TPC wants to open more Pokemon Centers in other countries, I hope they open one here in TX but that will never happen xD NYC or Cali before anything. I remember when Nintendo World was a Pokemon Center!
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! [Catch Celebi Now!]
Post by: aluke on March 21, 2016, 08:27:45 PM
I wish I had one at my mall too (I'm in the States visiting my brother right now) Pikashoes. I guess I live decently close to one of the two Nintendo Kiosks in Canada, but I don't think they have much, if any, Pokedoll merch.

Lala, this is the one in Seattle Washington. Pokemon is so, so big I don't get why Pokemon Centers aren't more common. Biased, but Toronto should get one since it's the fourth largest city in NA and Canada needs representation (too bad Nintendo hates Canada). The Nintendo store does have a really good selection of Pokedolls at least (meaning NY should technically be covered). When I went last summer, half of the upstairs was dedicated to Pokemon, there were soooooo many pokedolls. Still not as big as a Japan store of course, I still have my Charmander I bought when I went to the one in Tokyo, but I want to go back and buy more . :lol:

You'd think they'd make more Nintendo Stores in other places in the US, at least in states like California or Texas.

Man, I would love it if Nintendo had one of those kiosks at a mall near me. I could see them putting one inside the Houston Galleria mall.

I'm actually REALLY surprised they don't have something like that here in DFW! People think of cowboys when I mention Dallas-Fort Worth but we actually have an amazing Asian (especially Korean and Japanese) population here! It was an amazing surprise when i moved here and helped me feel at home. A lot of really good Asia markets in my area, a ton actually! We have little Japan stores all around and even TWO Hmarts and a Daiso, ahhh they could at least add a Pokemon vending machine in the Galleria or Stonebriar mall!

I have also heard of a floor at Nintendo world being pretty much all Pokemon Center plush! Last time I saw a picture they had an adorable ponyta! x3 I also know there is a crane game machine in New York with an EEVEE plush prizes! Someone I follow on IG posts pictures of it and I'm sooooo jealous! She has only won a flareon and glaceon. They look like the kuttari plush but they could be something else by Banpresto!?

My husband was telling me about that kiosk when he went to Seattle last year. That's really neat!

I agree that those should be more common. I wonder how they determined that Seattle should have one? Not saying that they shouldn't, I just wanna know the thought process behind which cities get one.

Also, has anyone else seen the new Pokémon Go footage on YouTube? I read that it's most likely legit and was shown at SXSW. Looks interesting... I hope we hear more about it soon, because I really want to play!

Nia, I saw the Pokemon Go yesterday, the one with Ivysaur! I REALLY want to play too! x3 I want it to come out before we go on vacation! *wouldn't it be cool to see Lapras when you take your cruise!?* I am desperate to find a dratini when that game comes out. Oh-so desperate. I want to find corsola, lapras, and vaporeon when I go to Florida! Oooo or staryu!? x3
I also wonder what kind of Pokemon would be in Japan!? Ho-oh at one of the tower shrines in Kyoto!? I'm so itching to play I think I'm going crazy! I have an excuse for me to go outside and exercise more!

OMG I almost forgot! What is AMAZING is my phone is 100% waterproof and the camera WORKS underwater in the pool, and it will work in the ocean. With clear water in the Keys, I wonder if I will find Pokemon swimming in the ocean!? *milotic or dragonair omg*

I agree with atleast Toronto getting one.  Maybe Niagra Falls (the Canadian side). 

Hey, atleast be thankful Canada gets events..it used to be US only as far as I can remember.

I know when I was visiting Seattle I read that the Nintendo Offices are located outside the city. I wasn't able to go, but I think its just a corporate office sign lol. I also wanted to go the Mall and visit the kiosk but my coworker is a kill-joy.

I'm so surprised there isn't one in LA :( I love the one in NYC and hope I get to go back soon!

Waaaaah Pokemon Center released ANOTHER mew plush! its just their poképlush collection but ahhhhh I have to have it. I'm also dying to get that new Dragonite! Already got that Dragonair bit with fancy Japanese tags! I wish that they would rerelease the Pokemon Time plush in the US...that magikarp and dragonite were adorable.

*hatching eggs alllll day. Am desperate to have my own shiny dratini*

I'll admit, I have a serious case of the grabby hands regarding that Dragonair. I wanted to come and run off with yours when you first posted pictures! XD I may have to make a purchase before the Pokemon Swap hits the shopping phase lol. Also they posted up a few new items (just shirts and a cup) with the three legendary birds on them. I'm waiting with baited breath because those three are some of my favorite Pokemon, especially Articuno. I would LOVE to see them release a card box set with figures for them. Or some new plush.

Also, how is your shiny hunt going?

Still hatching eggs! Almost 2 boxes worth, I've got a dratini from Spain and a dratini from Japan I hope will make me a purple dratini baby! *lol does that sound awkward?* I feel like I will get lucky soon! I keep reading the odds are 1/600 or 1/1300 something like that. My friend hatched a shiny eevee and posted it on her IG, she is my friendly rival competition with shinies so I have to hatch a shiny dratini!!!!! x3

So I went to TRU yesterday and they might be saving their jirachi in the back- I got a weird number of pikachu I saw in stock and I was one of the first few customers. I'm kinda happy if they are doing that! All that's in stock is pikachus and they said last night the truck came in! But they are usually in pairs?? x3 *wants to poke around backroom*

the funny thing is I started casually trying to hatch a shiny dratini too the other day.  I made it to...15 eggs before stopping?  Im trying to figure out what im supposed to do with all of these dratini other then wondertrade. 

I guess ill try my luck again a bit later on if I get a spare moment..haven't been feeling the greatest lately.

Seviper is such a great shiny, one of my favorites too!

I've always wanted to try my hand at hatching eggs for a shiny, but then I think of the other, better things I could be doing with that time. I miss the days when the Pokemon subreddit was full of amazing people who would hatch a shiny for you if the ID numbers matched. I remember helping people out too if my ID matched an egg of theirs. Anyone else remember that? I made so many Pokemon friends through that service, it was great. :happy: That's honestly where a large number of the shiny Pokemon I own came from, so I don't really bother with trying to find shinies anymore.

I know a method some people do is save in front of the breeder. Then grab 5 eggs, hatch them, no shiny? Restart your game and repeat, so not having a whole box of Pokémon.

That's brilliant!  Whenever I tried hatching for a shiny in the past I always got annoyed at how fast the boxes would fill up.

That is a really good idea. Better than filling up boxes with Pokemon that you know you'll never use.

Apparently I just have the worst luck trying to hatch shiny ones. Last year I competed in the video game national tournament, so I was hatching eggs like CRAZY trying to get all the right stats and nature's and all. I'm talking thousands of eggs over the course of months. I  never hatched a shiny in all that time o.O

did you end up getting an eevee with either yawn, wish or both? Possibly a jolly nature?

My perfect eevee project was not that bad.  I screwed up a bit on the ev training but hatching what I wanted didn't take very long.

I did get a shinx when trading out the others.

Anyone missing the anniversary Mew plush, they are on eBay marked down for $16 by Chinese sellers!! AUTHENTIC, just without packaging. I remember not long ago they were around $30 loose from Chinese sellers!

Woah my Korean Break point (shiny mega gyarados) booster box came in after being lost in the mail (?) over a month!!! They gave me free Frozen bandaids with my package and said with a note, "Sorry for delay, enjoy the stickers! Please leave positive feedback thanks!"
:rofl:
Stickers.

Post by: MilkyTaroMochi on March 29, 2016, 03:04:33 PM
Hehe that is quite handy the chinnese ebay sellers is selling the mew plush themselves! I hope it stays like this for the future anniversary plushes, assuming in store distribution is still bad.

I'm thinking of picking up either OR or AS soon. My previous games have been X, Black / Black 2, and Heart Gold. Any thoughts on which version I should get?
All I can think of to help is maybe see what version exclusives there are on each game. They are basically the same game, so it is mainly a matter if you want to get Kyogre/Latias or Groudon/Latios.

I didn't have to change the time on my game.  I just thought that maybe since it was nearly midnight on the east coast that they might have opened it up for everyone on this continent and there it was!  Plus Celebi got distributed a little earlier in the evening as well so I thought I'd take a chance.  I still haven't gotten far enough in the game to use them (I only have one badge so far-I need to make time to play more I guess) but they're waiting patiently for me to get the right badges.

There is a Pokemon-related TRU event tomorrow, where they'll be giving out a Meowth and Clefairy card.  :D It' seems to be a "trade and collect with other Pokemon fans" kind of thing.

Part of me wants to bring some of my extra Pokemon cards to trade, but I am not sure if that would be a good idea, since I know some other adults worry about older collectors trying to rip-off young/kid collectors when it comes to rare cards.

I can't wait for next month..... then I can finally participate in the event! I haven't needed any of these pokemon, but I NEED Darkrai!!
If you can, keep an eye out because there is a possibility Darkrai may show up early (He's GameStop exclusive, right?). Can't believe Jirachi was spotted early last month! xD

So, we found a TRU on the way home and they didn't have the promo cards. They had the cards from last month. And I was super angry!! We were looking at the pokemon figures since we were there and they had three celebi and three jirachi plush. And a guy came back, told his son to grab them all, and then picked up some of the figures and like 30 seconds later a younger kid came by looking for celebi and was so diasapointed :/ I hate scalpers.

@Kitkumi: of course you can have a set!

The employee running the event gave me even MORE of the sets to give to friends, so if anyone missed out and wants them, let me know! :D

Ta-dah! Here is what Jirachi looks like in person! So shinmery! He is sort of small, but so cute! Picking up the pin box tonight and need to wait for the vender to bring in the jirachi clip n carry pokeball next TRU truck!

Okay, so I came up with this genuis idea to fix "Squishy Box Syndrome" on these anniversary plush! The solution? Three strips of transparent tape and craft dowel rods! I had them hanging around, and wanted to put them to use! A $2 fix for multiple MIB  anniversary plush!

Cut the dowel rods to fit the inside of the box/package thingy. Cut off about 3 inches! I used pliers to cut them.

Put just one inside that squishable corner in the front of each plush box (I suggest the flatter factory cut end down first!) and use transparent tape on the very bottom, middle, and top of the dowel rod to tape it to the plastic in the inside. Here's what it looks like from the side!

Ta-dah! Your Mons are now more stackable! Now you can tower them in a corner because ponies, dolls, or other collectables  take up so much space xD

Cool idea, Lala! I got my in-game Jirachi today! :heart: I'm a bit tempted by the plush -- maybe I'll mention that in the Pokemon swap. :D

Got home not too long ago. The TRU event at mine was quite nice. I actually ended up spending the whole two hours there, trading cards with kids. They got a real kick out of the Japanese cards I had, which made me happy so I traded a good amount of those out!

A tad bummed out that I wasn't able to make a trade for two Sylveon cards. ^^' Some of the kids only wanted the rare/good cards, and were a bit mean to some of the younger kids about it.

That's what I did - I edited mine a little to mention that I wouldn't mind any of the anniversary plushies. :D

I grabbed the Jirachi card box last night and I'm keeping an eye out for the plush for a friend. Another friend actually got me the Jirachi plush last month, so I'm kinda glad I don't have to look for it for myself.

Was able to grab all the jirachi items and a present for my swap partner.

Did anyone else have an issue with the BOGO 40% off? It said the event had it for all Pokemon items but it didn't ring up at the register. We had to show them it online, and then be a pain for almost twenty minutes before they finally gave it. It was almost a $15 difference :(
Was kinda bummed they advertised it so poorly.

But at least we got the promo cards!

The BOGO 40% off was only for the cards, for some reason. I guess due to the event and all. I didnt even know about the deal until I overheard a parent asking about it to an employee.

I'll have my 2ds and hopefully Pokemon in May, but that means missing out on Jirachi who I really wanted.   :sad:

Anyways, I have a question.  I've decided on the game I want (X & maybe alpha sapphire after I figure out my budget), but my experience with the games is catch cute pokemon, beat elite four, play something else.    I feel like I've only been scratching the surface.  Does anyone have tips for making the most of the games? 


Also, if anyone can help me with getting Jirachi, I have extra mew cards from GameStop or I can do an art trade.  While I do have a lot of pokemon in an older game, I don't really know about breeding for stats and things yet so I don't know if I have anything else worth offering.   I am seriously a newb as far as some things are concerned despite liking pokemon as much as I do.  For example, my friends all thought I cheated when I got a female started in Diamond and I didn't even know it was supposed to be a big deal.

I just bought Omega Ruby having already gotten a Jirachi on my copy of Pokemon X. If you like, I can try to get a second Jirachi on my new game and hold it for you until you get your own copy. I don't need two.

Also: I'm definitely interested in getting the most out of my games. Though for now my goal is 'catch cute pokemon, beat elite 4'. :lol:

This guy is my pride and joy! He's actually a replacement, as my original one got thrown out by my 1st stepdad as a kid (thank bleeep my mom divorced him!). I got this lugia off eBay back when I first moved to Texas! I cleaned out his battery compartment and put in some batteries and he still roars and sings! :heart: probably my favorite toy EVER as a kid to now! He sells for over $200 now! *holds onto woogiaa tight*

I need to sun fade mine too a little bit! The tail on mine is very aged, its almost a yellowish greyish white! It is about 20 years old after all. The corners of my lugia's dark blue eye and tail horn things are slightly rubbed, I fixed it up  really nice with car model paint! :)

 :facepalm: I'm having wretched luck with these promo cards apparently. I was feeling incredibly sick yesterday and couldn't bus it up to TRU like I planned. Called them in the evening, when I felt better, and they still had the cards, but I wouldn't have made it up before the store closed. I've heard people were able to get the first set of cards the next day so figured I should be fine going in today....nope, the Nintendo rep apparently got there right before I did and took the leftover stock. Called the next closest store and they didn't have any either. This is seriously frustrating. Luckily, my cousin doesn't know about any of this so he can't be disappointed, but ugh.  -_-

I got a $5 off coupon in my email from them that i'm saving for the box IF i can find it there, so far I've got all my TCG boxes at other stores lol

Thank you again so much :) Just PMed you my address.

@Lala - I absolutely LOVE that Lugia toy! I still have mine from when I was younger and it is one of my favorite Pokemon items (I love how it 'sings' the song from the movie). Though mine could probably use some sun fading too. I think it was also the tail on mine that colored over the years.

Thanks! We are huge book fans, so that wall is nothing but bookshelves and books of varying types. It is the best room ever to just curl up with a book in :D And I was so happy that I still have the legendary birds! I wasn't sure I did because I hadn't seen them in a long while; they were really beautifully made (though Zapdos's one wing is currently mia lol). Also, thanks for reminding me about my collection pictures! I meant to post them over here too as a birthday brag :D

So, when my birthday rolled around the other week, I ended up having a bit of a Pokemon themed birthday! My fiance picked me up the Hoopa DVD and manga and the Absol figure, and I found the Latios and Latias plush when I went out for the day

And then my amazing mother surprised me with the limited Red figure!  :drunk:  I had sat up the night he went live for purchase meaning to buy him, but didn't due to the price. Turns out my mom also sat up that night to make sure she was able to snag him as a birthday present. She's been so super supportive, not only of my love of Pokemon since the start but all my hobbies, and she thought it was a great way to celebrate 20 years of Pokemon.

Mine was played with a lot when I was a kid, so it is well loved and scuffed up here and there. It's funny, mine yellowed at the tail, head, and the joints as well so I'm assuming it's just the fact they are different plastics in those areas. I'm terrified to actually open the battery box... I think it went in to storage back in the day with batteries still in (I was young, and I didn't know any better! XD )
And just for fun:

Seeing my old Lugia I really want to refurbish it. He has so many chips and scratches from young me playing with him over the years.

Ahhhhhhh this is too precious! "Go to your Islands!" xD I LOVE the little family of birds you have!!! I have a mighty need to track down the trio! :heart: :heart: :heart:

Aaaahahah I think lugias wings are on backwards? xD


@Pikashoes I'm telling ya man, $1 car model paint from hobby stores is the best for his dark blues! Omg and q-tips!!! I cleaned his battery box with a ton of qtips xD I went through almost 1/4 a new box of them LOL! Just don't use a Lysol wipe because I first used that on my Lugia and he got kinda sticky x﹏x I then used warm water and a few drops of peroxide with a washrag and it did the trick!

I kind of want a second one now to paint shiny! I want a pink lugia plus Silver needs a special somebody to help him watch over the Pokemon tower! *goes onto ebay* Arrrg still expensive. The cheapest one is a starting bid at $99...dear arceus plus that shipping! :freak:

My husband LOVES that Pokemon, he tells me all the time if we were Pokemon he is a shiny umbreon and I'm a normal sylveon! xD I've been wanting to draw us together (as those Pokemon!) together with an eevee egg since we are looking into adopting after school is done with!

Come to think of it I haven't really drawn Pokemon since a suicune picture yeeeears ago! I should start drawing again!
You totally should.


MilkyTaroMochi  I'd like to take you up on the card offer.  I can never get out to the store on Saturday.  And like I told LadyBastilla, I can offer art in exchange.

I've got an art thread, but here are a couple of pokemon.

Of course you can have a set! :D And I really like your artwork as well!


I think I can spare one or two more sets (need to double check lol), after speaking with everyone so far. :D

Thank you.  If you can, just pm me with what you'd like and I can work on it and I'll send my address.

I don't have any Ho-oh merch either, which is embarrassing because it is one of, if not my favourite legendary.

Yay sending a PM to you too Pikashoes, thank you!!! :happy:

I'll copy gothicsugar and post the art here, hehe. Most of my current samples are not complete, I haven't had a comfortable arting environment, but I will be reunited with my desk (and second monitor!!!) in around 48hrs! So excited. Again if anyone has an extra Target shiny magikarp card they don't want, I'd be happy to trade for it.

Aaaahahah I think lugias wings are on backwards? xD
 

They probably are lol. I used to take the wings off all the time and pretend I had found the silver wing, and then have to go find/summon Lugia.... mostly to return the wing, obviously ;) But yeah, the wings got swapped around ALL the time lol

Pardon me for not reading through 55+ pages. :)

I finally signed up for the Pokemon Bank over the weekend. I got one of everything I have moved over to X. I am missing FOUR stinking Pokemon. So dang close!!! I'm missing Arceus, Tronadus, Landorus and Genesect.

The thing is I have an extra 18 Mew and 5 Jirachi, but it won't let me put them up for trade. The only other thing I have that's worth trading for these in one extra Meloetta. Any ideas how I can complete my Pokedex?

ask around on here, maybe a fellow arena member will trade with you. You only need to have a pokemon once to make it show up in your dex, no need to keep it once you had it, so maybe people would trade back and forth with you to make you complete your dex :)

haven't used the pokebank yet, and most, if not all my pokemon are on black (have 8 copies of black and white.... so lots of pokemon)

not sure how it works, and well. since i'm still happy using the b/w i'm not sure if a pokebank is something i'll use. you can't transfer up eggs right?

Post by: Princess Lala on April 06, 2016, 12:02:07 AM
I know it's $5 for a year, but IIRC there was like a free trial when I first used it. Maybe a month or so?

Man, so im reading about game news and apparently Pokemon Z was actually an idea that almost was but got either delayed or totally canceled due to Sun and Moon. After watching xyz I'm getting attached to zygarde and with him being in a movie it feels weird there is no Z version. I wonder if his formes are going to be distributed as events? This must be why the xyz series is focused on zygarde so much, seems like they are in fact skipping Z version. I'm kinda sad now even though I'm excited for new games!

Also I still think not having grey version was weird for black and white, they still could have made it a sequel and used kyurems two formes.

You pay $5 for 365 days. I don't know if the one month trial period is still going... there was when it first came out.

Post by: Einhornbaby on April 06, 2016, 03:31:55 AM
I have Pokemon Bank but I dont think there was a free trial when I got it. Yes, its 5,- a year but in my mind its worth it. Well, we are three people playing here so its often easier/faster to use the bank to transfer pokemon instead of trading, especially when you want to exchange more than one or two pokemon. Also, youre able to restart a game without loosing pokemon :)
For Black and White you will need the PokeMover though but that one is a free download. And remember, once you moved a pokemon from Black / White you cannot move it back.


As for Z / Sun and Moon : Im toooootally excited for the new games :D Cant wait!! Z would have been cool... but new games sound amazing too! Hopefully we soon will get some more info on what its about and some pics o.o

Post by: Rainbowrific Renia on April 06, 2016, 05:03:33 AM
That's what I've been saying. I actually like Zygarde, even if I'm not a fan of the new forms they introduced, but it still sucks that there a no third game for gen 6.

Speaking of Black and White, I kinda miss the Pokemon Dream World...

I agree that the Pokemon Bank is worth it. $5 a year is nothing really and it's actually a helpful addition to the games. When they first announced the Bank, I thought for sure we'd get charged monthly, but a small yearly fee is better!
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! [Catch Jirachi! 1-24]
Post by: Princess Lala on April 06, 2016, 05:53:27 AM
$5 is totally worth is agreeed! I spent waaay more playing the Pokemon Rumble World game on pokegems before discovoring street passes gets you gems lololol *hides shame*  xS Honestly I got my fill of pokebank just by using the trial! I used the heck out of it before that month expired!

I hope we get to see more info of new games soon, Nintendo is being so hush-hush on details! x( same with the NX....they are releasing so much stuff this year but omg I want news already! I wanna see some pictures!

I thought the Pokemon dream world was very fun too! I hope they bring something like that back!!!

Husband and I were discussing Pokemon.....there's not a hummingbird Pokemon, is there!? Cuz that would be a neat starter! It could be fairy and flying or something.
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! [Catch Jirachi! 1-24]
Post by: Kitkumi on April 06, 2016, 06:09:39 AM
I am in the boat that agrees the Bank is worth the $5 cost. It makes transfer so seamless and easy, and gives me all the storage space I need when tournament time rolls around. At first I didn't think I would buy it when the original trial was over, but after using it and realizing that it should stick around and be used with other Gens., I quickly changed my mind!

And I know Pokemon has always been a handheld game, but, thinking about how hush-hush Nintendo has been about Sun and Moon and the NX.... I can't help but think it would be kind of cool to see a Pokemon game on the bigger console again. Maybe not one of the main core games, but another one like Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness would be awesome :D Think of how amazing the graphics are now a days compared to when Gale of Darkness first came out!

Omg Kitkumi I knoooow! :squee: I LOVED Gale if Darkness and Colossuem!  I used to own GoD, but I still own Colossuem! I would love another story game like that! So many fighting games for Pokemon on bigger consoles and those older story games on GameCube are still popular! I might have to break out my GameCube now LOL! I remember Agate City was so beautiful and that shrine with Celebi. Ooo and dark balls- capturing other trainers pokemon lol. I was so sad when I beat that game, I hope the story will continue someday!

Correct me if I'm wrong (it's been awhile since I have signed in to my pokemon account) buuut..... if they are sending out the newsletter, can't you just make multiple accounts with different emails in order to get more codes? Because if you can, I'll probably give that a go lol. I do agree with thinking it is a silly way to distribute anything too :/

Poképeeps I've got some fresh news! Now you can get Hoopa if you didn't get it in past events and if your game is from Europe or Australia.

You need to input the following code: HOOPA2016

It's really cute! I got two event legendaries in one week: Jirachi and now Hoops! I like that it is "the cute legendary" but in a mischievious version.

Well, I can cross Tornadus and Landorus off my list. I was trying to look up where they were in B&W and I discovered that they're in ORAS too. Never noticed that before.... Had to transfer Latios back to OR, but I caught them.

Now to just get Arceus and Genesect...... If anybody wants to trade me, drop me a PM. I'll give it right back, I promise.

You don't need those to get the shiny charm.  I was under the same impression until someone finally corrected me...made it a lot easier.

Celebi
Jirachi

Darkrai
Shaymin
Arceus
Victini
Keldeo

Genesect
Diancie

Dont feel that way. It's confusing to alot of people, since you'd assume you need to get every pokemon, including the event-only ones.
But the event pokemon are excluded (which is a good thing, because that woild be so unfair, consdering before this year, there was only once chance in the US to get Victini and Genesect).

Yeah, silly me thought "you need a complete Pokedex" meant COMPLETE. Not "everybody except these 14". I agree that requiring it to include all the event Pokemon would be unfair, but shiny Pokemon (and the charm) are supposed to be rare.

Lol, whaaat?


So I finished playing through the main story of White and wanted to play Black 2 again (I've only played through it the one time). Didn't want to delete my save file though so I figured I'd just keep my 3DS plugged for the net few days and rush play it. Got all the way to Pokewood Studios...and they force you to save to continue the game ugh! I can't decide if I want to restart the game entirely; I could trade over any special Pokemon to White, but I had got the shiny charm and fully completed the Pokewood stuff on that file, I don't know if I can bring myself to do it.  >_< Decisions.

I also think I'm ready to give gen 6 another chance (meaning I may be asking for ANOTHER favour because I want to transfer a few special Pokemon, I can give Pokemon like Xerneas and Diancie as a thanks). I'm just stumped on how I want to play: Stick with catching Pokemon naturally from the game, or wondertrade for a random team of six and take them to the E4.

Speaking of which, lately I've been putting Phantumps for trade, in hopes to get a Supersized Pumpkaboo. This time I put a Ditto to mix things up and... I got a large (not extra-large, but better than the other small/regular Pumpkaboos I got) Gourgeist named just like me  :shocked:

Peeps, I've got a question - when I travel abroad, will I be able to redeem the Event Legendaries in another country, let's say, UK?

Huh, that is a very good question! I've been pondering this to when I go to visit Japan, if I can get their event Pokemon. I think as long as you have connection to WiFi it may work? The to worst I'm sure someone here can trade ya! x) Some of us have 2-4 gen 6 games!

Edit: okay, I keep reading mixed results but local Pokemon events may work as long as you have local WiFi connection. If you go to the UK try it out and let us know! I'm so curious!

According to IGN.com, if you sign up for a free account on the official pokemon website by April 22nd and agree to receive e-mails (make sure the box is checked 'yes') you will receive a code that will let you get Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres with their hidden moves in either Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire. I thought I'd post this here incase anyone was interested. :)

What if you can't remember whether or not you agreed to receive email notices?  Is there a way to check?  I haven't been on the site much and I can't seem to find it.

My S.O. always wanted to try a Pokemon game (he watched the anime tho), but was a bit shy to ask for one during his childhood. I introduced him to the world of Pokémon again (thanks to my endless ORAS rambles and "oh this pokemon is so cute in Amie") Now he is trying a Leaf Green ROM and he says he is enjoying the game a lot :) We were talking about getting Pokemon Sun and Moon when they're released so we could trade Pokemon to each other... although if things go sour with this 7th generation (no Amie, for example) I wish he could get X, Y or Omega Ruby....

I DID IT!!! I DID IT!!! I DID IT!!!  :green: :green: :green:

Ok, so I've been trying to breed shinys in each of my games. I got the shiny charm in X and a Japanese shiny Ditto in OR and Y. Mon evening while at a family gathering I was breeding Growlithe in X. Mom wanted to know what I was doing so I explained it to her as best as I could. Five minutes later she asked, "Have you got your shiny yet?"  :facepalm: I told her I'd be screaming if I did.

This morning I had a bit of time so I was breeding Dratini in OR and I got my shiny!!!!!! I literally screamed. Mom came out of the bathroom to investigate my screams. I had to show her the difference between a normal Dratini and a shiny one.

Post by: MilkyTaroMochi on April 18, 2016, 10:39:32 PM
You have a better chance of getting a shiny IIRC if you breed two pokemon from different regions.
Such as a Japanese Ditto and a US region Pikachu, for example.

No, if you're playing a US game you need a Japanese ditto and a Spanish Pikachu. Neither of the Pokemon you're breeding can be the same language as the game you're playing.

Post by: Rainbowrific Renia on April 19, 2016, 08:36:54 AM
Yeah, I was gonna say that I'm pretty sure just one Pokémon has to be from a different region, and it's usually Ditto. I just wasn't 100% sure of that.
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! [Catch Jirachi! 1-24]
Post by: MilkyTaroMochi on April 19, 2016, 10:00:37 AM
Yeah that is why I mentioned a Japanese Ditto, since that is what many people use for the shiny method that doesnt have a JPN-language game (and plus Ditto itself is basically the default breeding Pokemon, lol).

But basically, as long as one of the Pokemon is from a different region than the other, your shiny chances via breeding get increased.
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! [Catch Jirachi! 1-24]

Post by: aluke on April 19, 2016, 11:53:05 AM
They both have to be different from each other, not your region.

Japan Ditto and NA Pikachu works.
Japan Ditto and Spanish Pikachu works.
Japan Ditto and Japan Pikachu don't work.

 :)

So, I ultimately decided I was going to restart my Black 2 game, and was going through my boxes to organize what I wanted to keep...........and I have 11(!!!) Victinis! What the heck? Half are from Liberty Gardens and half are the event one, why do I have so many?

If I had Pokemon Bank I would transfer them to Gen 6 and share. I don't need this many. >_< I'm apparently a Pokemon hoarder....

Edit: I also have a bunch of shinies I wouldn't want either (shinies only mean something to me if I find them myself); I don't know how legit they are, but they are 'legit enough' to be traded over the GTS. Feebas, Dratini, Koffing, NidoranF, Ho-oh, etc...maybe I do need to invest in PokeBank.
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! [Catch Jirachi! 1-24]
Post by: SpaceButtPonies on April 19, 2016, 12:16:37 PM
Yeah you just need 1 different language from your own game. It even tells you that on bulba/serebii. You also can tell from the breeder from what he says too.

I got a shiny Dewgong via Wondertrade. Pretty sure she's hacked: rareball, all stats are good, all ribbons, level 100... too bad shiny Dewgong is almost undistinguishable from regular Dewgong :(

Also, I've decided to replay pokemon Soul Silver. So far my team is: Bayleef, Togepi, Mareep, Dunsparce, Hoothoot and Wooper. Onto the second badge, my braves!

Finally, here's a question: does a Spanish pokemon have a tag? (like, a Japanese pokemon has "JPN", a UK/US one "ING", etc.) I would love to see one!

I forgot they were giving away the Regis, though honestly they are my least favourite trio so I'm not too interested in them. Lol. I think the gotta catch 'em all bug has left me since I like to restart my games and am not into buying doubles so one can rot with a full Pokedex/important Pokemon and just keep replaying the other.

If you have Pokemon in the bank when your subscription expires, what happens? Would you still be able to retrieve them? Would you need to purchase an extra year? Are they gone forever? I think in Canada it's $7, which is still not bad. I just don't really think it's worth it if the only purpose is to transfer Pokemon to trade out (though I guess I wouldn't need to bother someone with holding my team to restart X either).

If your PokeBank supsciption runs out, your Pokemon should still be safe in there for at least a few months. Before I renewed mine, I hadnt touched bank in MONTHS but my Pokemon that were in it were still there.

I personally say it's worth it ($7 for a year, in your case)  but keep in mind that IIRC once you transfer Pokemon from a 5th gen game to PokeBank, they can't be transfered back to that game.
But you can freely transfer Pokemon between the 6th gen games and Bank (XY and ORAS).

In my PokeBank now, I have all my good Pokemon from 3rd, 4th, and 5th gen games...but a honorable mention goes to the four individual Pokemon that wouldnt transfer over into Bank for some reason (Manaphy, Darkrai,Arceus, and a legendary bird, IIRC). Guess they couldnt pass the "hack check", even though I am pretty sure at least one of those is a legit Event Pokemon.

Haha, that was my concern. If it's anything like Pokemon Ranch, I will forget about it for months at a time; I'm also hoping to be traveling next year around this time and keeping tabs on my Pokemon would be the least of my concerns so I WOULD forget to renew/transfer them.  :lol: I would also use it to just store my good Pokemon; that's why I kind of wish it was a one time more expensive fee (like Ranch), just so I can keep them stored indefinitely. It is what it is though, I won't complain.

I'm aware you can't transfer back, I'm used to that feature from third and fourth gen. I'd mostly just transfer over Pokemon to give away so it won't be a big deal to me. I usually keep my teams on the gen they came from; my Diamond still carries all my shinies. Lol.

Its time consuming yes, but once you see it/catch it it worth it! Right now I am working on Cobalion, he is one I have been trying to get for a long time.

im kicking myself! I broke down and decided to buy the mew and celebi tcg boxes... then at the start of the month i saw a ton of jerachi boxes at target... figured, oh im still finding tons of mew and celebi boxes so surely ill have time to get jirachi.... Now I havent been able to find a single one anywhere for the past 2 weeks. uuugh, I hope I find them soon lol. (I did the exact same thing with the splatoon amiibo 3 pack back when it first released xD took me months to finally find it again) I should know better lol.

Ahh! I want shiny Giratina so badly! He looks really amazing! Congrats on getting him. After I get Cobalion I'm going to try for him, just stinks you have to save on the ground and fly every time you reset.

yeah that annoyed me,
I did  find out something cool with him tho.
you don't have to catch the lake trio and then catch Dialga and Palkia in the gen 6 games.
if you have gen 4 pokmon moved over using the pokemon transporter  the gen 4 Dialga and Palkia still trigger the event for Giratina

good luck on that!
I still need to catch the 3 beasts of jhoto , I was plaing on going for their shinies as i have their normal  forms moved up from older games.  a lot of the legendaries I didn't bother with tho and just caught them as normals so to get them shiny i'd either have to restart my game or  pick up another game and start a new file.

both options seam like so much work tho.

I've gotten 3 shiny Giratina through the Wonder Trade. I traded one for a shiny Lapras, but I still have one more I'd be willing to part with. Shiny for shiny.

OMG you guys, I haven't gotten a shiny since the original Ruby like, 10 years ago (a stupid Tentacool)...until today! I just about had a heart attack! Three times!!! I caught three shiny Vulpixes in one sitting, and my search level isn't even above 300! Two are even Timid, because I'm using a timid synchronizer. And the other one has three 31 IVs. I wasn't even hunting for shinies, I just want a bunch of three star Vulpixes so I can breed one with good IVs.

Visiting Gamestop tomorrow, I hope they have cards o.o ... we can only go around late afternoon, Im a bit worried they will be gone by then (had that a couple of times in the past -_-).

Visited a fleamarket today and... Oh gosh I think it has finally happened... I bought some more Pokemon TCG cards. Now im finally hooked lol. I didnt look at them, just grabbed the bunch that was lying there, paid a few € and went home.
I got :
44 official TCG cards (various series, older cards)
-> 4 cards marked with a star symbol (Dark Ampharos, Aerodactyl, Seaking and Sunflora) and 10 marked with a diamond symbol, the others marked with a circle symbol. Only 3 doubles so far.
12 other collector cards (by TOPPS)
and a little binder with a lot of Pokemon stickers (most of them from the old sticker collecting book)

I paid 6€ for everything... considering how low the prices for these common cards are I guess I overpayed but well... I just love the artwork <3 I now want to collect at least ONE card of every pokemon, not caring for the series. For now... I know myself, I wont stick to that for very long I guess but Ill try :P

I was in Disney when mew became available and couldn't get to GameStop for a week and managed to get the last one. Unless Darkrai is way more popular I would think everyone going today should be okay for codes. Idk about other merch tho.

I got the Darkrai plush! The pin/card sets were there, but won't actually ring up until tomorrow so I didn't get them. They had a TON of the cards with the codes on them though, so no problems there.

Considering the GameStop I went to only had two of the plushies though, I'm sure they'll be just as hard to find as Mew was.

I see this plush is being sold on Ebay for $44+ (yikes!)  right now. Called all over town, all of them were out. There is one place in a city over who has one left, they said they would hold it.

Edit: I ended up getting him! He's smaller then I thought.

My GameStop had everything still. The girl there offered me the plush but Darkrai isn't my favorite so I thought I'd leave it for someone that really wants it (hopefully not a scalper). Too bad it wasn't Shaymin. I'm just happy to get the code cards.

The very far store I traveled to had some pokeball figures and some plushies, that was it. I've been holding out for Darkrai and Keldeo. Shaymin is so cute, are they releasing the sky form or regular?

I went to my prefered GS first, and they had the cards, when I asked about the pokeball figures, she said she wasn't sure so she checked in back. She came back with the entire box! They hadn't even put them on the floor yet, If I had been collecting plush it would have been a real score! But I'm not so I just bought two of the pokeballs. :p

Went to the mall GS next, They wouldn't hand them out because they said it was all marked 5/2 and didn't want to get in trouble even though it was most likely a mistake. (this GS had their midnight release privileges removed because of past issues) so I guess I don't blame them, Ill just have to stop by again to get my other two Darkrai codes. :p

Had to go to two GameStops to get the codes since the first one didn't get theirs in in time. That first one had the plush though and I was tempted to get it, but I remembered that I am in the Pokemon Swap, so I didn't. xD
(plus since last I checked you can get the Mew one on eBay from China for the same retail price, I suspect it will eventually be the same for Darkrai later on, should it come to that point.) The second one didn't have the plushes, but they had the figures.
I may swing by that first one tomorrow after I go to the Post Office, in case my boyfriend wanted Darkrai as well (gonna ask him in a bit).

I've only ever been interested in a handful of Pokemon for the sake of having plushies and none are legendaries.

I was originally just getting the in game pokemon, and the pokeball figures (i love how shiney/pearly they all look) with the exception of hopefully getting the shaymin plush when it comes around. But then I started getting the TCG pin boxes.

GOOD NEWS! I finally got Jirachi box! xD I found it at GS, they had the Darkrai box too, but I could only afford one, Hopefully I dont run into the same problem. Im still finding TONS of mew boxes and the occasional celebi, something tells me that these later boxes might be getting more rare. D: at least in the sense, it seems more people want them lol.

Feel free to pm me. Your Jirachi is safe and sound on my copy of Omega Ruby. :)

BF & I got our copies of Darkrai tonight. He picked them up on his way home from work.

As for whether I'm purely doing the digital characters or buying any merch, the only merch I know I want for sure is the Shaymin stuff that will be coming out. I need a shaymin plushie in my life. :heart:

Post by: True on May 02, 2016, 10:22:33 PM
I thought the same about darkrai being more grey/silver than black, but I guess that's just the effect of most of these pokemon. They all seem somewhat "muted" i guess they want them to look similar to their "pearly" figure counterparts? they definitely make them stand out from average poke merch. :) It will be very easy to look at them years down the road and just KNOW those were the 20th anniversary items because of their unique coloring. ^-^

Im wondering if people want me to add other events to the OP? like the zygarde currently happening? or Should I just stick to just anniversary stuff? I know iv mentioned others in the thread as iv heard of them, but maybe more people would see them in the main thread? Ill put them up for now.

Also do threads lock if they get too many posts? Id really like to keep updating this post :p

The Darkrai plush is available on GameStop's website right now.

Becaue the Jirachi figure never made it to this area (not sure why), I'm not as inclined to collect the other figures anymore. Unless someone has an extra to sell, otherwise I'm not paying those eBay prices for a tiny figure. It's cool though, that's less money to spend if I just stick to the pins, cards, and plushies. ;)

I'd say give it a few days to show up - I remember this happened whenever the ORAS demo codes were coming out some time ago.  Although I think in part that was because some emails actually were "glitched" and thus people who had that email service never got their codes, or got them later than most other people (can't remember which one it was exactly).

So I wanna say that if you had gotten the email code for the ORAS demo back then, you should still be set for the Bird Trio codes.

For those of you who haven't received the email yet. Are you subscribed to the newsletters? I had to go into my account and manually turn them back on because at some point they opted me out of them. I'll be pming you after work about my codes Carrehz. If she doesn't need the birds still, I'll share with someone else who didn't get the email.  :)

Also, still haven't gotten my Darkrai code yet. Haven't had the chance to go to EB and feel like I may be too late now. Diancie was out after like two or three days so I missed it, no idea if they will be better stocked or not this time.  >_<

Also I just found something super cute I want to make! So I have to share it (especially if anyone needs last minute craft ideas for the Pokemon Swap  ;))

How, exactly, do you make sure you are subscribed to the newsletters?  The closest thing I can find on my account is "I would like to receive marketing email messages, including information about future online games, from The Pokémon Company International."  Is that it?

Just a funny little story...

I went out on Sunday morning to make sure I was able to get a Darkrai plush. So my husband and I had planned on doing separate transactions so we could buy two of them (just in case they'd only allow us to buy one each), because my friend and I have decided that if we see any of the 20th anniversary merch, we'd buy one for ourselves and one for the other. This was the only month that he actually wanted the plush, pin, and figure. Anyway, we're at the store and there's a kid in line with us that was playing his 3DS and was super excited because Darkrai is his favorite legendary. He really wanted the plush, so I got the one for myself and he was able to get the only other one that the store got in. I felt a little bad, since I wasn't sure if my friend and his wife were able to go out that morning for the plush, so I figured I'd keep quiet about the plush until he would inevitably ask me about it the next time he came to our house. ^^; At the same time, that kid was so happy that I was just glad he was getting it and not some scalper.

So yesterday, we're at Target, and I see the Darkrai pin/card boxes. I sent my friend a text to let him know that I could pick one up for him, and he said it's fine and that he'd get one later, but asked if I had gotten the Darkrai plush. I told him yes, but that I really did intend to get him one as well, and he was like "That's good! I got one too, but they only had two so I wasn't able to buy you one." :lol: I just thought it was pretty funny that we both had the exact same situation on Sunday morning.

You have to be subscribed to the Pokemon newsletter email. They sent the codes that way.

What?! That's dumb! Only the pin wasn't supposed to be sold on Sunday, that's ridiculous. :mad:

I posted about it yesterday in this thread, but the plush, pin/card box, and figure are all available on GameStop's website.

Flickerswift, I think they do it like this intentionally, it creates hype. I saw the woman open up the mew box back when that happened, and the darkrai box this time, they both had exactly the same things in them, just two plush. Our GS still has a darkrai plush, if I had the funds and a paypal account, id gladly grab it and hold it for you, but unfortunately I don't. u.u

I'm fairly certain they will get another box before the month is through though? it seems like they did for mew, but I could be wrong.

I'm not sure why, but its easier when TRU gets plush, they seem to get bigger batches, and they order them more frequently. I don't collect the plush, but they're right next to the figures that I do collect, so Iv noticed them restock more often

speaking of birds I was finaly able to get the 3  HA  birds off of a fried.

but now im looking for something else.

HA fossil pokemon.     can any one breed some for me please?
im not fussed on  gender , natures or IVs /EVs   just after pokemon that  have the hidden abilities.

looking for all the HA fossils spare for   tyrant and its counter part .

PM me if you can help a trainer out'

What HAs are you looking for on which fossils? I don't pay enough attention to abilities.

sailorstitch

im looking for the following pokemon with these abilities
again im not picky on  natures , genders IVs or EVs   im just after the abilities.

Omanyte – weak armor
kabuto – weak armor
Aerodactyl -unnerve

Lileep -storm drain
Anorith – swift swim
Cranidos – sheer force
Shieldon – soundproof
Tirtuga -swift swim



Ok, if nobody is able to help you before I get my wifi back up I'll see what I can do.

I think that the grass owl is my favorite, so far. However, I always play water starters, so...

Spoiler
I'm really liking the fact that they're moving further away from 2.5D to a full 3D experience! I hoped it was happening from the concept art, and now we've got confirmation!

I don't know that I like a purely tropical region, though. I'm afraid that's just not my favorite. At least make it Greek or something!

I think this will be the first generation where I've favored the grass starter over the fire  one.

that owl looks very nice.     im not exactly sold on the other 2

Nooo! Can we keep Sun/Moon info under spoilers please. I want to keep as much of it a surprise as possible.  :blush:

Grass starter is my favourite though. I was hoping for a bird starter.
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! [Get Darkrai @Gamestop/EBGames!]
Post by: Rainbowrific Renia on May 10, 2016, 06:31:40 AM
I'm not sold on any of them yet. :huh: Though, to be fair, it's rare for me to be a big fan of a starter (Totodile, Cyndaquil, Snivy, Chespin, and Froakie are the only ones I've ever loved right from the start), so we'll see.

Man, all I want is a dolphin Pokémon. Doesn't even have to be a starter, obviously, just a dolphin like Pokémon somewhere would be cool. There are still SOOOO many animals that haven't been represented yet!

maybe we could make another thread for Sun/Moon spoilers? :) I like to go into Pokemon games relatively blind but I don't mind having the starters/legendaries/basic details of the plot spoiled for me (I figure they're impossible to avoid anyway).

Anyway..

I NEED Litten like I need air!!! I didn't think they could top Fennekin but I was wrong! aaaaAAAA it's so beautiful!!!!

Cool! Congrats :D I bet its super pretty!!
Hm, I checked too but wasnt able... pokewiki.de says, Xerneas starts on may 11th... it is may 11th but I still get "you already have this present" when I try to get it. And my husband was still able to get Zygarde an hour ago. I wonder, I wonder...lol. Hopefully its not like "you only get ONE of them" XD... I totally want shiny Xerneas since Xerneas is one of my faves <3

any one know if Xerneas and Bacon are avalible for PAL  region games?
I read some where that the  PAL  region was only getting Zygrade and it was going untill the end of the month.
there are no set dates  for  the other 2   for PAL  games  ??????


I'll try again later tonight  Xerneas but  I'm starting to have my dobuts on it now.  :/

I can probably share a shiny Xerneas and Yveltal too if more people need them. Actually there are a few events I don't mind parting with since I don't really plan to keep them when I restart X: Shiny Gengar, Diancie, 20th Celebi, 20th Jirachi. I think that's it (still haven't made it out to an EB for Darkrai, I don't think I will at this point). Edit; Also the Zygarde that just ended in NA.

Actually, I wouldn't mind restarting my game multiple times to get multiple of Xerneas/Yveltal for you guys, but I still need to get a couple Pokemon transferred first. I didn't get Bank yet but if someone wants to hold 2-7 Pokemon for a couple of weeks until the events are done for me I wouldn't mind offering.  >_<

Does anyone have an extra they could trade me, please? ;w; idk if I have anything worth trading for it, I could check which legendaries I have if anyone wants?

No joke, Yveltal is one the "cutest" legendary pokemon in PokemonAmie. He acts a little like a cat when you scratch him juuuust right on his chin/neck. xD Cant take it seriously after that.

I think another cute legendary to play with in Amie is Zapdos. He sticks his chin up with his wings tilting back and he will randomly shock you xD

Had a visit to Gamestop yesterday (again) and got the new decks with Lugia and Zygarde on them... trying to get my husband into playing lol (I bought that Zygarde deck since it has his favourite Pokemon which is Lucario). And now I keep thinking : gosh why am I spending that much on CARDS?? But the answer is simple lol... they are addictive and I love them, just like ponies :D I also got a pre-order on that Manaphy set for june.
Want me to share some of my card collection? I know its probably super boring for all others :P

Since they did a GameStop code this month and released the XYZ legendaries via the internet and the three birds via newsletter code, do you suppose they'll do something similar in August when we have to get a GameStop code for Arceus?  Ooh, maybe they'll do Ho-oh and Lugia or Suicune, Entei and Raikou.

HA jhoto basts would be cool!.

You can get a hidden ability Ho oh and logia by playing the dream radar game on the 3ds with a copy of heart gold in the gam cart slot  for ho oh or soul silver for lugia. 

Doing so with diamond pearl and platnium will give hidden ability dialga palkia and geratina.

How amazing for a Pokemon 20th anniversary to find early pokemon toys from my childhood!? x3 I got a nice haul of Pokemon toys from the thrift store, including a huge 2003 MWT Kyogre! "Kaigoo" ( kyogres nickname!) was only $5 and the bag of small pokemon toys $3! I was surprised to see this japanese Palmon plush (her tag is in Japanese) and this starry scorchio neopet plush MWT! I saw more bags, but they were just full of pokeball parts and a tangela ball.

Hey, when is the earliest we can ship off? My husband lost his new job last night....and this week he is getting laid off his managment position because the store he works for is closing. We HAVE to shut the internet off on when this month is up, and there is a chance we loose our phone service too since we are on this family package with our internet company. Hopefully we can both pick something up just in time. My box is ready, I can ship it off whenever it gets closer. 2016 has not been good to me this year.....

Well for total newbies to Pokemon, the games would be helpful.  I've managed to figure some of them out but then I've played a few games.  But since there are so many remakes, I don't know if some people are going to know the difference between R/B and R/S and such.  It took some googling a while ago to figure out what some of the acronyms were game wise since I've only ever played Leaf Green, Diamond, and Black.

But my main confusion is with the in game and other terms I've seen.
Like what does HA refer to?
EB
PAL (region)
IV
EV

I was trying to go through all of the pages to find them, but that could probably take a while so I went with some that I've seen recently for an example.

I think bacon bird looks kind of like a T-Bone you know the squeaky pet store kind of dogs?

And am I the only one who actually likes Popplio?  I couldn't take Oshawott though...it just didn't get better  It was the first time I abandoned my element.

--As for Mew, I wanted to know if anyone needed any Mew cards?  I have six extra ones that I got to give out at work, but I'm probably not going to give anymore out before they expire.  Harmonie, did you ever manage to get one?

Well for total newbies to Pokemon, the games would be helpful.  I've managed to figure some of them out but then I've played a few games.  But since there are so many remakes, I don't know if some people are going to know the difference between R/B and R/S and such.  It took some googling a while ago to figure out what some of the acronyms were game wise since I've only ever played Leaf Green, Diamond, and Black.

But my main confusion is with the in game and other terms I've seen.
Like what does HA refer to?
EB
PAL (region)
IV
EV

I was trying to go through all of the pages to find them, but that could probably take a while so I went with some that I've seen recently for an example.

Games:
R/B/Y = Red/Blue/Yellow, 1st gen
G/S/C = Gold/Silver/Crystal
R/S/E = Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald
FR/LG = FireRed/LeafGreen
PMD = Pokemon Mystery Dungeon
D/P/P = Diamond/Pearl/Platinum
HG/SS = HeartGold/SoulSilver
B/W = Black/White
OR/AS = OmegaRuby/Alpha Sapphire

Misc:
PAL region = UK, Europe, Australia, etc.
NA region = North America (US + Canada)
IV/EVs = Individual (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Individual_values) and Effort (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Effort_values) values. Someone else would prolly be able to explain them better than me, I've never been able to wrap my head around them ^^;

Not sure about HA and EB, sorry. Hope this helps! :)

HA - Hidden Ability. The secret/extra ability that a Pokemon can have. For example, Sylveon's default ability is Cute Charm (makes the opposent gender Pokemon more likely ro have a crush on it ; makes opposite gender Pokemon more likely to appear in the wild). It's Hidden ability is Pixilate, which boost the power of Fairy typw attacks.
(note: The Pokemon has to be BORN or CAUGHT [via Friend Safari, Event situations, ect,] with its Hidden Ability, for it to have it. You can't change the ability of a Pokemon from a "normal/optional" to a "hidden" one).

PAL - another name for Europe region games.
IV - Internal Value(?)
EV - Effort Values

Not sure what EB is, outside of maybe being short for EB Games (the store), lol.

When it comes to the games themselves, it's basically why people refer to the first gen games as RB(G)Y, and later gens as GSC, RSE, DPPt, BW2, and XY. Remakes beings FRLG, HGSS, and ORAS.

Post by: Aitsuki on May 15, 2016, 11:46:33 PM
From what I can find, "EB" isn't an acronym or code term for anything.....don't know where you heard that.

IV- Individual values. A pokemon is generated with these upon encounter. Each pokemon has a potential of 31 points spread across all their stats, with each different pokemon applying them a bit differently. Each pokemon species has a general range their stats go to, with the IVs being the first way that each is made unique. IVs are what competitive players look for, and the first thing they start breeding for when working on their perfect team. For example, if someone wants a good walling pokemon, they would breed for a Happiny that had its IVs invested in HP and SpDef. Since this evolution line has terrible attack and speed, competitive game players dump all IVs into those stats to build a brick wall of a pokemon. That sets it up to have a head start on those stats, making it possible to have huge numbers when the pokemon hits Level 100. I don't really want to get into the craziness of how to breed and re-breed pokemon to reach their perfect IV distribution for each type of player, suffice it to say it's a LONG, excruciating process that I can't bring myself to attempt. Breeding is a nightmare, I don't subject myself to it.

EV- Effort values. These are completely determined by the trainer and how the pokemon is trained and what it battles. Each pokemon can achieve a total of 510 EV points, at which point the person who says "your pokemon could work a little harder" will instead say that it can't improve anymore, then give it a ribbon for its Effort. Players who just stick to the single player don't need to concern themselves with effort points; your pokemon will earn them with each battle, as indicated by the stat change box shown upon a level up. Those increases are different for every single pokemon, because it's all about what the pokemon battled in the progress to the level. The amount gained and what is gained is different for each species, and the result is affected by your pokemon's nature. For example, if you want a fast special attacking pokemon like an Alakazam, you want one with a Timid nature, which will divert more points to speed to complement Alakazam's immense special attack. But, any nature that increases one stat has to take those points from another stat... so you wouldn't want, for example, a Jolly Alakazam, because while Jolly increases speed, it cuts special attack, crippling the pokemon's potential. Luckily, training effort values has become much easier to do and track thanks to the introduction of Super Training in Gen VI. Each game increases one stat by a certain level, making it easy, if still as tedious, to put all the EV points where you want them. And if you get a pokemon that has unsatisfactory EVs to you, there's a pure white Reset Bag that takes them all to zero, so you can train it how you desire.

SO, yeah. That's a pretty intimidating block of text... and that's the SUPER dumbed-down, no technical hoo-hah, crazy math, or stat lists. Luckily for those of us who don't like competing, all that has no use, since a pokemon that can win any match against the in-game AI trainers is one that's trained and given good moves. EV and IV craziness is only for those loons who go to the big competitions; without meticulous use and understanding, you wouldn't have a chance. Here's a fun parody song that gives the basic idea of what's needed to get perfect examples of specific team roles.

I guess I can clear the mystery here, EB is an acronym for Electronics Boutique, though I think that name is irrelevant these days. :)

So it's nothing really noteworthy you guys would care about, but there was a guy who came to my work who was playing Pokemon (I work in a Sport's Bar ATM, never expected that there)! He seemed so shy about it when I asked what he was playing he was like "well..." while turning his DS so I could see. Then I got way too excited and probably scared him (but he did tip me $8 on a $30 tab, so not too much). :P I think he is a regular too so I hope I can nerd out about Sun and Moon with him, haha.

Its not irrelevant.  It exists in Canada and is the same store as Gamestop.  They renamed it to EB Games..im not sure how long ago, but its still referred to as EB.

I'm Canadian, I know. :P I meant knowing that EB stood for Electronics Boutique was irrelevant since gothicsugar was asking what it meant, not the store itself. I think they officially re-branded in the early 2000s, before merging with Gamestop and disappearing in the US.

I'm getting way off topic though. Sorry.

Exciting! Doesn't give you much time to decide on a game though. I'm still not a fan of X, but I do have the unpopular opinion here. I still haven't gotten ORAS either, but I dunno, as much as I liked Hoenn, I haven't really heard anything convincing that I need to upgrade my Emerald. Flying on the Latis seems like so much fun though, so there's that; oh, and secret bases are back and that was one of the best parts of RSE for me. :biggrin: Tough choice to make for sure. I hope your Mew card will still work, I can give you a Celebi if you needed one.

I want to respect keeping this thread gen 7/spoiler free, but I do want to say your Popplio art is adorable. I need to draw the starters too!

Anyone up for a little random fun?

http://randompokemon.com/

Keep all the default settings (6 Pokemon, all types, all regions, NFEs, ubers). Consider the first Pokemon as your starter, what is your randomized team?

I got Rampardos (starter), Reuniclus, Aron, Swoobat, Abra, and Foongus.

Not a team I would typically go for (though Reuniclus is a reason I chose White over Black, and I did use Swoobat when I replayed it last month), but not Pokemon I actively dislike either.

I got Granbull as a starter (lol) Grovyle, Polywhirl, Trevenant, Arceus, and Fletchinder.

Besides Granbull, a pretty nice team I think :) I have Grass/Water/Fire all covered. I have a bunch of second form pokemon, I must be in the middle of my pokemon quest.

Also, I just discovered my work is a ten minute walk to TRU (and that is my default TRU too, I'm embarrassed I only realized it today, and by accident no less, I...thought my work was on a completely different street :nuts:), so I finally felt it wasn't out of the way enough to go since coming back home. Unfortunately, they only had the 20th Pikachus in terms of plush, but they did have this.

I bought AS at the end of April just for downloading event Pokemon. You know, start game, download Pokemon, transfer to Bank, restart game, lather, rinse and repeat. :P I got 6 Jirachi and 6 Zygarde before my WiFi died. Since it takes about 15-20 minutes for me to get to the point in the game where I can use the bank, I only got 2 Xerneas and 2 Yveltal for my Bank. Oh, well. I just want to have extras to trade after Sun/Moon come out. Hopefully, my WiFi will be fixed before the 1st...... I hope.........

Lol! My old roommate did that with the shiny Raikou event. She had bought Soul Silver at the start of the event and just had to manipulate the system. We lived not even five minutes away from EB so she kept restarting, going to EB to get Raikou, trade it over to my game and repeat. I think I still have some of her Raikou on my game that she needs to take back. She was too impatient to wait for the Entei and Suicune events.

I've done it before and I'll do it again. That's how I got my 18 Mew I have that I can't trade anymore. I got Mew on my Emerald game from a TRU event and used that cloning glitch to make dozens of him. Back in the Gen 4 and Gen 5 days I could ask for anything I wanted on the GTS. Then Kenai gave me his Game Cube disk that let's you download Jirachi. I did the same with that one.

I missed out on all the shiny legendary dogs events. If you or your friend can get them moved over to a newer game, I'd gladly trade for one. (Once I get my WiFi working of course.)

I sort of unintentionally did it with the Liberty Pass/Victini. same roommate got Black when it came out but was still playing SS, so she let me borrow it to get the version exclusives and other starters for my game, so I figured might as well get a couple extras since I'm restarting anyway. But based on how many I have I must have restart an extra time or two. Pfft. Hoarding all the events.

Sorry, my beast trio are still in Sinnoh and I'm not getting bank until Sun and Moon are closer. My roommate doesn't have a 3ds. I really wish they didn't axe the DS online compatibility.

:frolic:  It'll be on the 31st (my job pays at the end of the month) with hopes of my Mew code still working.  My only thing now is to to figure out if I want ORAS or XY.  I really can't decide because they both sound like they have things I'd be interested in.  I'd probably get the other one later this year, but am looking for something to play this summer.  And yes, Sun and Moon if I like the other games.  I'm still waiting to see the starter evolutions even though so far I'm picking this guy.

Exciting! Doesn't give you much time to decide on a game though. I'm still not a fan of X, but I do have the unpopular opinion here. I still haven't gotten ORAS either, but I dunno, as much as I liked Hoenn, I haven't really heard anything convincing that I need to upgrade my Emerald. Flying on the Latis seems like so much fun though, so there's that; oh, and secret bases are back and that was one of the best parts of RSE for me. :biggrin: Tough choice to make for sure. I hope your Mew card will still work, I can give you a Celebi if you needed one.

I want to respect keeping this thread gen 7/spoiler free, but I do want to say your Popplio art is adorable. I need to draw the starters too!

Thank you, I do need one actually.  I can't remember if I got the one they gave away when Black was out.  And sad news, unless I can pull in some commissions, I'll have to wait till the end of August.  I thought I'd be working the last week of school, but that didn't happen so I have to wait.  But, on the bright side, I'll be able to get more than just one game at a time and my sister said she wanted to play OR so I'll be picking up AS which means we get to play each together from start to finish which I've never been able to do with anyone before so that's cool. 

The only real downer for me were the three Pokemon I really wanted all being Nintendo Network releases Jirachi-being held for me , thank you!, Manaphy, and Shaymin. 

Also, thank you so much for the compliment on my art.  I felt like that particular pokemon wasn't getting much love even though it's the best looking water starter in the last three/four games in my opinion.  (not counting ORAS since it's a remake. I'll finally get a swampert!)

I still have Mew cards if anyone needs them.  I've given one away on the arena and have 5 more left. I live near a bunch of Game Stops so if I know we'll be near one, I try to go.    ---I gave away the mew cards on instagram.  My last one is for whoever buys my pokemon plushies.

Also, pokemon plushies are here ➡http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,379081.0.html

 I didn't know people did that on their games.  I always just assumed there was a limit .

I was the one who gave Xerneas to Carrehz, so I can't help you there unfortunately, but I can help with Yveltal.  I don't need any Pokemon in exchange. The only thing is, I wanted to keep one for myself since I have X, so I'd be asking you to hold Pokemon for me while I restart. It would be easier if someone else helped, but if no one else can, or you don't care about the hassle, feel free to PM me.  :)

Do you have a shiny Yveltal? I wouldn't mind one if you do, please :) What do you want in return for them?

edit:
Anyone up for a little random fun?

http://randompokemon.com/

Keep all the default settings (6 Pokemon, all types, all regions, NFEs, ubers). Consider the first Pokemon as your starter, what is your randomized team?

I got Castform (starter), Rhyhorn, Corsola, Magnezone, Scrafty, Kabuto

haha, Castform is the only Pokemon I really like out of these six XD I'm pretty "meh" about the others. Could be worse, though.

He's so soft! Mew is my favorite legendary and I've always wanted a plush one. I missed out on the gamestop one but I found this cutie on the Pokemon Center website and sent the link to my brother  :) I can't stop carrying him around!!

Also, totally random, but I like that his tag was looped around his leg rather than pinned to him so it can be easily removed or added (I like tags, but they scratch you when you sleep with them D:)

something odd happened to my friends in OR.

I borrowd a friends game to get some of the the stuff I messed up on my game.
but using the other game card seams to have done something to my friends!

if I go in to the firends list on the DS' main menu every one I've registered is still there but
in OR  there not.

has this happened to any one else?

It happens when you switch consoles with your games.  You need your friends to actually play at the same time as you for it to register again.

It looks like 20th Anniversary Mew is going to be rereleased in June if you're signed up for the Pokemon newsletters/emails. I think everyone here already got one from the codes in Feb, but it is a nice second chance in case someone needs one (you can only redeem one Mew total). I'm guessing they'll do the same for Darkrai and other EB/Gamestop Pokemon.

So if you already got it via GameStop, you cant get it again this time around?

What if you delete the Wonder Card for the previous Mew?  Will that trick it into thinking you don't have it yet?

I'm pretty sure that deleting the wonder card, ONLY deletes the wonder card, it has no affect on your game and it will still know that you received that pokemon even if the card is deleted. It seems like I tried to do this once, and this was what I learned. xD

I don't know if the re-release will count as a separate event, or an extension of the previous though. If it's counted as a new event, then you should be able to receive it again.

Post by: aluke on May 30, 2016, 11:32:24 PM
Hope you guys won't mind my rambling, but I am debating with myself and could use some opinions.  ^^;

I've been slowly working on some 20th anniversary art for each of the generations, I posted the Kanto one a while back (with the starters, Pika, Eevee, and Mew), and for the most part finished the Johto one (starters, Pichu, Marill, Celebi)...

Spoiler
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

I'm already working on the sketch for Unova (starters, Emolga, Zorua, and Victini), but I'm stumped on gen 3, 4, and 6.

For Hoenn, I was thinking of going starters, Minun, Plusle, and Jirachi, keeping the trend of the six Pokemon since there are two Pika-clones in the gen, but is there a really obvious popular/gen-defining Pokemon that I'm not thinking of that should be there?

For Sinnoh, I'm stumped between Shaymin or Manaphy being the 'cute' mythical Pokemon, both have the 100 base stat spread. I'm thinking Manaphy because it was revealed first, but I don't know. I also can't think of a good 6th Pokemon. I'd say Lucario, but I want to stick with small/cute Pokemon, and Riolu seems as relevant to the franchise as poor Raichu.

And Kalos, same problems. I'd say Hoopa is more aesthetically similar, but Diancie comes across as the 'cute' mythical Pokemon. Neither share the base stat thing like the rest either, so I'm lost. I don't even know where to start for the last Pokemon, I don't feel like there is anything that really fits. I'm currently considering:
Helioptile (one of the earlier ones announced, I think, and had relevance in the anime)
Floette (because of AZ's Floette, but I would draw a standard one and they seem less important)
Espurr (it seems to be a fan favourite...or a meme if nothing else)
Skiddo (introduction to Pokemon riding, but very minimal feature and kind of a forgettable Pokemon IMO)
Noibat/Noivern (same issue as Riolu/Lucario)
Sylveon (introduction to fairy types, but seems out of place when the other Eeveelutions were skipped)
Swirlix (biased favourite)

Anyone have some opinions?  :help:
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: True on May 31, 2016, 01:00:20 AM
For Kalos.. I'm not even sure I count Diancie? I mean that's obviously a personal opinion, but to me they don't really seem part of the game for some reason?
I would say that Litleo, Skiddo and Fletchling all seem pretty prominent in the series, to me at least. But if youre trying to avoid duplicate types as starters for the art, maybe keep floette and Espurr, I think they have pretty good significance. lol
then think about maybe..
Furfrou: first customizable pokemon (i think?)
Pancham? Pancham was one of the first ones I personally saw released, but to be fair I dont specifically go looking for info on new games xD.
Vivillion: pokemon that is different depending on its region of origin?

I feel like you would need at least one fairy type since it was introduced. :P Im not sure this is helpful xD but I love the idea, and your art is super adorable! Im enjoying seeing everyone's different takes and tributes this year!
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary!
Post by: Aitsuki on May 31, 2016, 02:19:01 AM
I think Vivillon is a good idea. Or do Carbink and Diancie; the connection, y'know?? For Sinnoh, go with Manaphy. It has the same body structure as the others. Stick to the "fairy body" mythicals, it will keep things tied together. Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Manaphy, Victini.... Diancie and Hoopa both fit into that, so I'd say do Hoopa and a similar colored Vivillon, or Diancie and a Carbink. For Gen IV, go with Shinx. It's one of the first pokemon you encounter besides Bidoof and Starly. Gen III, it's got to be Ralts, right?? The super rare pokemon that could only be found in one area with a 5% chance of encounter, and the most darling cry... Plus, it was the pokemon your rival caught, so you saw it all the time. SO....

Gen III: Ralts
Gen IV: Shinx and Manaphy
Gen VI: Diancie and Carbink or Hoopa and Vivillon

That's what I think. Unless you don't want another electric type with the pika-pals, then maybe Happiny instead of Shinx. It was one of the baby pokemon introduced in Gen IV, the first egg given to you in that generation. Everyone gets one in the story, so it's a big part of that game.

Thanks so much True and Aitsuki. Vivillion would indeed be a good choice (plus bug type!) but if I went for it I'd have to consider the pattern too, maybe the Pokeball one... Furfrou and Carbink also sound like neat ideas, though I honestly forgot Carbink existed. I'm embarrassed I didn't think of Ralts for Hoenn, especially since it is Wally's starter. Shinx and Fletchling were Pokemon I considered too, but thought they would be biased because both were my 'starters' for their respective regions. I'll consider them a little more now.

Lol, I'm glad I'm not the only one stumped on the Manaphy vs Shaymin thing. Though, I think I've decided to stick with Manaphy because of my personal association. I went to Japan the summer before DP was coming out and the Manaphy movie was in theaters. This was when I wasn't super interested in Pokemon past gen 2, I had Emerald at that point, but felt overall meh. That being my first taste of gen 4, Manaphy stood out to me before I even knew about Shaymin. Makes me think of going with Buizel as well since it was promoted in the movie too.  :wonder:

True: you need to participate in the battle competition thing to get the Miltank code. I have no idea how to enter though. ^^;

Manaphy has always been my favorite of the fairy-like small legendaries/mythicals. See, I got my manaphies the original way; finding the egg through an event in the Pokemon Ranger games!! In those games, you find and nurture the egg for a while until it's time to transfer it to a main series game.... so each of those manaphy was cared for! The egg was so beautiful, and it made me so excited to hatch it... Plus, Phione is adorable.
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! [Catch Manaphy via Nintendo Network 1-24]
Post by: aluke on June 01, 2016, 10:00:04 PM
Ah, that is a cute card. I don't collect the TCG myself, but I really want the Charmander line cards from that set; not only is it adorable with showing them growing up together, the prose on the card makes me feel sappy. I also want the Tepig set that was similar where it was evolving with the family. I find it uncanny that my childhood favourite and current favourite starters are both featured this way. I wonder how much they're going for (anyone have spares)...

I didn't realize Pokemon was showing it on their website. I just watched it last night on Youtube after posting about it. Haha. I'm not crazy about the movie itself, but Manaphy is so adorable! "Happy!" :heart: I need to watch the one with Shaymin next.

That's awesome Aitsuki, I never ended up getting Ranger myself, though I wanted it, so I had to go down the route of getting one traded to me. I wish I could pick up a game now and get one myself, but one Manaphy per cart makes that near impossible when buying secondhand. In terms of my favourite tiny/cute mythical, I think I'm still partial to Mew with Celebi only a decimal point behind. I guess they feel so special to me because they were part of a time where you couldn't trade around the world and get any Pokemon you desired effortlessly. They were impossibly rare to get (before the glitches were discovered). When I finally obtained my Mew in Blue, it was one of the most exciting moments in my Pokemon career. :lol:

Yaaaaaay so my preorder from TRU arrived today! Im so happy to have gotten the manaphy plush and figure! Now all I need to the Pokemon center pokedoll and pin set! The pokedoll has been on their website at LEAST a year because I thought about ordering it last year when husband and I went on a romantic vacation on an island in Florida, so I am lucky I can just wait on him. Maybe this year! Manaphy is probably my FAVORITE event Pokemon, I just love his design after a sea angel- one of my favorite creatures not to many people know about. Picture time!!!

Oh, does ORAS have that capture the flag mini game like Diamond/Pearl? Ugh, that sounds annoying. It's not the end of the world if someone take a flag from your base.  >_<

And, on that thought, since we are entering a new gen, I wonder if we'll be seeing Sinnoh remakes in the next couple of years. I feel like it's still too recent a region for that, but it is nearly a ten year old game at this point. Diamond got me back into Pokemon, so it has a place in my heart, but I really don't know if I'm interested in revisiting Sinnoh, personally.

Iv been having trouble finding the pokeball figures. Usually TRU gets them in so early and I have no trouble finding them, not so lucky this time. I always buy them in sets of 3 when they show up at TRU. One for me, my son, and a friend who doesn't live too close to the store. Hope I start seeing them.

German TRU does not carry anything it seems :/ I saw some of the plushes (Darkrai and Jirachi) at Mediamarkt (a german electronic store) but they didnt have anything else either.

Einhornbaby: If there is anything specific you're looking for, I can keep an eye out for you to ship over. The TRU next to my work had the Manaphy figures a couple weeks ago, haven't checked back to see the current stock. I hate it when distribution isn't consistent worldwide. :huh:

Anyone ever get that moment when your Pokemon are playing tricks on you? My Zorua in X made me tilt my head when a Celebi popped out to battle instead of her. I completely forgot about her ability! I feel like that's going to be a reoccurring theme when it's late. :lol:

Haha, those trickster foxes, I can't help but love them though.

I've been in spring cleaning mode lately, and dug up my old Blastoise dog tag, it possessed me to scrounge up all my non-game Pokemerch for a picture. I know we're passed showing off our merch in this thread, but I didn't have access to my collection back than and would like to contribute now if you guys don't mind.

Not included is my 90's Pokemon Monopoly set, I'll need to dig it out eventually. It's not as impressive as a lot of you guys, I have gotten rid of practically 90% of my childhood collection.  The dog tag was a gift from an old friend, and the Burger King Mewtwo card/Pokeball was from the good ol' days (though it is technically my brother's). That poor Gameboy has seen better days, it works, but the speaker is gone and the screen is cracked. The Pokedoll Charmander, Pachirisu, and Knotched-Ear Pichu are from Pokemon Center's in Japan; I picked out Charmy myself, my brother got me the other two. Buneary, Patrat, and Panpour, and the Tomy Oshawott and Panpour (I just noticed they fell into the Pokeball and are kind of hidden), are from the Nintendo Store in NYC; again, I picked out Buneary, the others were a Christmas gift from my mom (she has a coworker who lives in NYC who picked them up for her; too bad it was a surprise, Panpour isn't my preferred monkey, but it was genuinely a surprising gift and I still love it). The first set of McD toys were bought in various restaurants between Niagara Falls and Virginia Beach (I got rid of the Zorua and Zoroark from the set unfortunately). The Dewott, Pignite, and second Pikachu were just from around here, I never managed to track down Servine. Kuttari Charmander is my most recent addition from that Pokemon Center vending machine I posted about months back. All the memories.  :heart:

My Pokemon cards were part of the purge, I just kept that handful because they either featured favourite Pokemon or art I liked (that McD Tepig card looks so out of place with all the vintage ones). I was planning on converting them to little posters or covers for pocket sketchbooks, but now I'm not sure if I will. Than, I was going to give them to my cousin, but he likes strong cards, and these just don't have the HP/Attack of the new ones. They're kind of just sitting there so I need to re-home them.

Does anyone remember the Pokemon gel pens? Or those trading/battle coins? :lol: And more importantly, anyone want to go to Japan and splurge at Pokemon Centers with me? I need some Talonflame, Dedenne, and Swirlix plushies in my life (And Oshawott, Tepig, Pignite, Minccino, and Emolga finally if they are still around)!  :freak:

I got my Manaphy set today (finally, yaaaaaay!!) and opened it right when we got home :D The pin is super cute! And I had some luck with the booster pack that were inside! Look who I got!

Its Sylveon EX /Feelinara EX ! :D
I dont have many EX cards yet (only about 4 or 5 something) so Its pretty special to me <3

OMG German nymphia card is all l
my want!!!!! :heart: :heart: :heart: :inlove:

Its actually really cool that all the Pokemon are called different names in different parts of the world except pikachu. Sometimes I forget there's more than English and Japanese names. I call pokes past generation 4 by their Japanese names but its fun to learn new names for the same Pokemon!

And nowwww I'm daydreaming being a Pokemon card artist just drawing Pokemon all day nonstop xD

Aluke, that's a nice collection.

I'm going to jump on the bandwagon with what I had.  I say had because I put my plush on ebay to go toward something else.  I'm finding with very few exceptions, I'd rather have the games.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


The cards are there because I gave away all of my Mew cards but the ones for myself and the auction. I also had an extra Darkrai and I'm giving them to the winner.  I saw people charging for them, but I was like...nope because it didn't seem right to me.

Princess Lala, that would be a fun job.  I think it would also be fun to be the concept designer who actually got to design the new Pokemon.

@ GothicSugar Just so you know, I still have a Jirachi waiting for you on my OR file.

Honestly, all I can say is "Come on, July!". I want my Shaymin merch, darn it. XD

Yay, congrats on the Feelinara card, that one is so cute. What are the other EX cards you own?  :)

Gothicsugar, that's an adorable collection. High fives for having a Pachi and Buneary too. I hear you on preferring the games to the merch. That's why I downsized so much too (and likely will again). Less stuff all around and just drawing my Pokemon in the games is usually good enough for me. I'm sure you understand that sentiment. LOL.

I can't wait to see the Shaymin plushie, I bet it will look so cute. Ontario seems to be part of the trend to get restocked early so maybe we'll see it mid-month too? I can let you know if I see anything early in Toronto.  :biggrin:

When my husband took me out on a surprise date a few days ago, he took me to TRU and bought me all the Manaphy merch for this month. Then we stopped by GameStop and grabbed the last 20th anniversary Darkrai figure they had, since I didn't grab it last month.

So the only figure I'm missing is Jirachi, which is super expensive on eBay. Ugh! :cloud: I hope I can find it for a decent price. The TRUs around here never got that figure in, so I missed out.

I still don't have my WiFi back up yet.  :huh: I did an online chat with Comcast last weekend. When I requested the modem it said 1-2 weeks. Now I'm being told 4-6 weeks.  :shrug: And even though I placed the request through Comcast's website, the guy couldn't find the request on my account. But he was still able to guarantee that it would come in the next 1-2 weeks.  :brow:

Whelp my whole "I'm over collecting them all" phase is over. I've been playing X obsessively to fill my Pokedex. My initial playthrough, I never touched Wondertrade or the GTS until after I beat  the game, but I'm so addicted to them now I'm more interested in that than progressing the story. I don't know my total yet because I lack the National Dex but I'm almost at 300 caught for the Kalos dexes.

Aaaanyway, to the point, anyone have some legendaries around to do a quick dex trade? This is the time I wish I had an ORAS game because you can find so many legendaries. I'm especially looking for Hoopa since the event got skipped in Canada, but I'm looking for just about everything (I currently have Yeltal, Diancie, 20th mythical mons released to this point, and eventually Xerneas, Zygarde, Mewtwo, and the bird trio associated with Chespin)  Of course, I'm not asking to keep anything, and I can offer thank you Pokemon/items? Please? :help: :sheepish:

My FC is 1504 6536 5425.

Edit: Oh, someone just sent me a shiny Gliscor through the GTS. I don't know how legit it is (can you hack/Pokegen in gen 6???), but I would be more than happy to offer it as a thank you Pokemon for some legendary dex entries. I'll upload a picture soon.

If you're sure, I wouldn't mind though. Thank you. ^^

Thanks for the luck melodys_angel I'm slowly getting there. I completed the central dex so far, working on the coastal now and have 102 so far. I also evolved my hydreigon so I  got the 'hardest' level up evolution done! I need to take a break from that though, my actual team is so undereleveled now because I've only been bringing them to gym battles.

Also!!!! Celebi is hands down the cutest Pokemon in Amie. I recently learned that some Pokemon have little animations when you touch the screen (but not the Pokemon), and Celebi actually HIGHFIVES you. It waves it's arm, and if it actually reaches where you're pressing, it makes a little slap sound. OMG! It's so cute!

*long, angry raspberry noise*  WHY AREN'T THERE NIDORANS ON THE GTS!? I need both genders, but Nidoking and Nidoqueen can't breed.... and Nidoran can't be caught in ORAS. Anybody have some??

Can't Nidoking breed with Ditto? I'm stuck in the ice cave right now, but I can catch you a couple of nidos. They are ones I still need for my dex too.  :lol:

And on my birthday too! XD

I conveniently still have Blaziken in my PC, pfft "I acknowledge you petting me, pet me more!". When you pet Reuniclus, the little hand animation changes and slows like you're petting through the jelly. And the way Hydreigon flail dances when you pet it, I don't think I can ever find it intimidating again! I love how much thought went into some of these. Seriously, Gamefreak needs to develop a game where you just get to raise and pet Pokemon.

Edit: Okay, another cute Amie is with Kyurem. If you start petting it, and than bump into the icey parts, your hand freezes and Kyu gets a little question mark bubble, like it's saying, "Why did you stop? :(" And if you pet Zekrom's neck, which it doesn't like, it gives you the stink eye for like three seconds. :lol: I'm so obsessed.

Hey there :)

just came back from a fleamarket and found an awesome lot of Pokemon cards <3 They are heavily used but about half of them is in nice condition. I am now sorting them and came across a strange card. Its a fake, Im sure but I had to show it lol :

Its featuring Mew, the name says "Serebii" and the other stuff seems to be coming from http://this card here (http://www.playon.de/Sammelkartenspiel/Base_Set_2/48/Lickitung). Its a normal looking card otherwise, the backing is the same as the others and such. The paper feels the same.

Ah, has anyone seen this? The Pokemon 20th website has a 'what type are you' quiz. One of the questions is 'where are there too many zubats?' I love that.

The first time, I ended up as a grass type. Not the first type I would have thought of but I'd say is pretty fitting for me. Going back and taking it a second time (I couldn't choose between some answers) resulted in electric so Grass/Electric dual type. That doesn't exist yet, but I like it.

I like how all of us got such different answers I love how the quiz wasn't obviously geared towards a specific type (like that gym leader question, I think I picked fire or water each time and that obviously had no effect).

So it was roughly a 160 hour battle (give or take, since I took breaks with the game on) but I finally completed my Pokedex (or I did three days ago, but I couldn't get any confirmation until I unlocked the National Dex). :lol: Well, I'm technically still four Pokemon short (Shaymin, Arceus, Keldeo, and Volcanion), and at least three of them are guaranteed events coming out. Thank you so much Pikashoes and Aliyahbetd for helping me with a few dex entries.  :grouphug:

I haven't had my shiny charm for over a half hour and I got a new puppy.

Honestly I don't think I'm a huge fan of the easier shiny odds, it just doesn't feel as special, though, I guess finding my Azure so fast was a fluke. But I at least have to go hunt down a shiny Minccino to reclaim the one I caught in Black before my cart was stolen.

Oh, good luck! I was the same deciding last minute that I wanted to complete the dex before Gen 7. Sounds like you've already made a good dent. I'm going to slowly work on collecting a living dex next, so if there are any Pokemon you need help with, I'll do what I can to lend a hand.

Thanks for the offer! at the moment it seems like I have most of the pokemon I need, just a lot of grinding needs to happen to level pokemon up to evolve to get the others.

Awesome. If you're playing XY, I can't speak highly enough of the Battle Chateau, later on there are trainers with Audinos and that topped with the lucky egg made things go a lot quicker.



I think my shiny charm just wants to be generous right now. I had spent about an hour in the friend safari today trying to find shiny Minccino while I was waiting to get my health card renewed. No luck, then later I was running around Kalos to unlock Articuno, and I met another new friend. (spoilering as I don't want to take up the thread with shinies)

Haha, yes the team of shiny not-shinies. I agree with Garchomp, and Leafeon. Now that we have 3D models, I was kind of hoping they would at least do a little more to make them look different. Lol. I'm actually a proud(?) owner of a shiny Seel I found in Leaf Green, I was lucky I had the sound on because I wasn't looking and would have NEVER known it was a shiny. Phanpy is another one that belongs there.

I guess I had a similar experience with the GTS too, someone sent me a Purrloin, and it sat in my box for a couple days before I had space in my party to train it. When I finally checked it out in the PC, I was completely stumped about the extra red star on it's page. I feel ashamed about that, because I actually wanted to breed for a shiny Purrloin since it's the closest pokemon to a black cat.

Garchomp is the biggest shiny dissapointment for me ever! Would have been cool in a sky blue.....but nope. Dewgong has always upset me LOL so plain looking, not even a hint of a pastel color  or really any other color for shading!? In anime im sure in the wild no one would ever know! Omg leafeon too....they could have used a burnt red on him like full-time leaves!

Im back from my CT appointment now and since it all went smooth and pretty fast we were able to make a short trip to Gamestop before going home <3 They still had a box of that 20th Anniversary Charizard card set left and I instantly grabbed it <3 The Charizard card si soo pretty! I can really reccommend it to any fan, the artwork is beautiful (huuuuge Charizard fan here lol, you might have guessed that XD) OMG and I was soooo lucky, the booster packs that were in the pack contained 2 (!) more Ex cards <3 and a few holo cards too (one double for me now lol). My new Ex cards are Mega Venusaur and Flareon <3  Im also eypecially happy for the Rapidash holo cards, its sooo beautiful <3

Ooooh, Shaymin is soo cute :D We went to Hannover (Germany) today and found a Darkrai box <3 I had lost all hope to get it and now Im happy as can be that we found it at the store! They didnt have Shaymin stuff yet but thats not too bad since my husband has asked for a reserve at Game Stop for one Shaymin box. Will get them as soon as it hits the store <3

And isnt the other form of Shaymin super cuuuuute?? I tried it for the first time yesterday and was so surprised how cute the "land form" look. Still wondering, is it any stronger / better / anything ? Or is it just for fun?
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary![Get Shaymin in Nintendo Network]
Post by: aluke on July 02, 2016, 12:00:48 PM
Oh yeah I completely forgot Shaymin had a second form, I need to go get my Gracidea flower.  :lol: It gains a flying type, a different ability, and different stats when it changes form, so not just an aesthetic thing. I think I prefer the hedgehog form more than the reindeer myself, I love how the animation has it grow little flowers on it's back. So cute.

I went to a TRU after work two days ago, and they had a bunch of 20th Celebi plush! I haven't been collecting the merch at all, but Celebi is one I did kind of want but didn't have easy access to TRU at the time (I shamelessly used one in my team in X plus it was my birth month Pokemon). I didn't buy it, but now I'm debating going back.  >_<

Also I was going to stop talking about my shinies, but wow, my shiny charm was going wild yesterday. I found THREE in less then two hours. :blink: shiny Bunnelby broke my two mon chain  (when I FINALLY stopped auto breaking it with the rollerskates), shiny Horsea hooked on in less than ten chained fish, and finally, shiny Flabebe (blue flower) decided to tag along as I was going back to the name rater after messing up Horsea's nickname. And earlier in the day I finally found my shiny Minccino in the friend safari too. I guess it was appropriate to find so many shinies while watching The Shining!  :lol:

Arceus looks so cool!

I'm guessing he's going to be a GameStop exclusive, as will Genesect. It seems the "not so cute" (except Mew) legendaries are getting GS exclusivity as far as the figures and plushies go, plus there's a pattern to it, I've noticed.

I think I was the luckiest with Mew because they were put out a week early and I was in the right time at the right place and bought one out of impulse lol! So far all I need are the manaphy and shaymin pin sets which are easy to find then I'm all caught up!

Anyone interested in receiving a mystery egg? I want to give advanced breeding a try, and it would be wasteful to only breed one or two for myself. The eggs are not ready yet, I still need the right parents (I'm stumped because  I have two of the Pokemon I need to get things rolling, one has the right nature, the other has four perfect IVs, they both have perfect IVs in the stats they need most) but thought I'd ask ahead of time if there was any interest over here?  ^.^

I wouldn't worry too much if you haven't found the Shaymin plush yet, tbh. Toys R Us has it listed on their site right now and I assume it'll actually be purchasable soon. For reference, they still have the Manaphy plush up from last month on the site and I've seen several of them in stores still. If you don't grab a Shaymin right away, just give it time! The Pokemon plushies at TRU have to proven to be far easier to get than the ones at GameStop- at least in my case.

I can't really say I know how it works in other countries. I was speaking about the US specifically (sorry, since I didn't make it clear). Like, I know for sure that you won't find a Shaymin plush at a GameStop in the US.

Oh, and the Shaymin plush is available to be purchased online now on TRU's site.

Nope  :wail: luckily was able to get ice cream but i want to play more pokemon go..... hopefully they are fixing a few bugs because it was glitchy when I was playing it.

I've heard the stories about Mew, but was the Darkrai plush hard to find too? They seemed plentiful at the EB Games I went to for the code and that was a couple days before the promotion ended.

I'm worried I'll get bored of it quick.

I thought I was the only one! It's not out in Canada (officially) yet, but I'm honestly very patient for it right now. If/once they add an Amie like feature where you can interact with your Pokemon, that's when I'd be glued to it.  :lol:

On the plus if I end up going to the cottage next week, there should be lots of fun Pokemon by the lake/fields to catch.

Edit: Pokemon Go Plus is showing up for preorder at TRU Canada, it looks like that's around the corner for anyone who was wanting to pick one up.

I went out the morning of May 1st to ensure that I got the Darkrai plush, but it was available online for quite a while which was nice for those who didn't find it in stores.

I got Pokemon Go about an hour ago. Went for my usual evening walk and it started storming. :( But I caught a few things, so that was cool.

I wasn't able to wait until this morning to play Pokemon Go, so I drug my fiance out and we ended up walking around town for an hour and a half before my phone died XD I caught a lot of stuff, and though there are some bugs and flaws, I couldn't stop squee-ing about how cool it is. I'm afraid I'll get bored of it quickly, but right now, this is pretty much the closest thing that we are likely ever going to get involving 'real' Pokemon, and my seven year old self would be frothing at the mouth over the whole thing lol

Will return it tomorrow since Pokemon Go isnt the only thing I cant use without the compass... *sigh*
But then again, I just read how much the ingame money for buying pokeballs and stuff costs in germany and decided that its a little too pricey for me to really play it. Ill stick to my DS then :)

You don't have to buy pokeballs, you get some when you level up as well as from pokestops (which you can click on every 5 mins or so) so you would probably just want to avoid catching doubles, Einhornbaby. :)

I did that too. I raised one Eevee into an Espeon, than just chain traded it on the GTS for all the eevolutions. Minus Sylveon of course since he was my 'starter' (my first wonder trade when I restarted was an Eevee).

Nooo! Now I'm wondering if my Sony Aqua M4 is compatible. I just got it last September after my old one died in the mountains so I'm not in the market for a new phone for a couple years at least. Hope you can find a new phone that suits your needs.

The thing is... you will need to catch doubles to train your pokemons (I had read it somewhere, cant find it now), so like to train your Charmander you need to catch more Charmanders to earn these things... charms or something that you need to train your poke. Maybe I got that wrong.

That's my understanding of leveling up, too. However, I have yet to make it to a gym and actually battle.

I haven't seen a single of the three starter Pokemon outside of the first one I got, either, so my Squirtle isn't getting any levels. =(

*revives thread* It's too quiet here so I've been amassing some questions to generate some discussion. I'll try to post one every/other day depending how interested y'all are in answering.

Let's start off easy. The FIRST time you went on a Pokemon journey, who was your very first starter Pokemon? :cheer:

Even though Charmander was my favourite Pokemon, Bulbasaur was my starter. Everyone used to go on and on about how Squirtle was the best starter because it was strong against Brock, which I never got because Bulba has an advantage over all three of the first three gyms, so I had pick it based on how overshadowed it was. I raised that little grass dino into a Venusaur, and was soooo proud....than my game glitched (it was on an emulator before we bought a gameboy colour). I couldn't leave the rocket base and we never got to finish our journey. :cry:"

For what it's worth, my first legitimate Pokemon was Pikachu in Yellow.

Ooo, I love this idea! The FIRST time you went on a Pokemon journey, who was your very first starter Pokemon?

Blue was the first game I ever played, and even though I loved Charizard, I went with Squirtle because I expected EVERYONE to start with Charmander, lol. And blue is also my favorite color, and Squirtle was blue in the show, so you know, I had a theme going. Squirtle stayed on my team through the whole game and was the first Pokemon that I got to reach level 100 (I was so excited when it happened, and it was also how I learned that 100 was the max level). When I started up Pokemon Go, I actually went with Squirtle as my starter as a way to come full circle :D

I was one of the first people at school/in my group of friends to get a Pokemon game. I got Red version and started with Charmander before the Charizard hype. :lol: Squirtle is probably my favorite of the original three, though. So years and years later when FireRed and LeafGreen were released, I went with Squirtle as my starter. Blastoise, ftw!

My very first Pokémon game was Yellow, so it was Pikachu. :)  And boy, did I LOVE LOVE LOVE that game.

Actually, to be technical, my first Pokémon game was Pokémon Stadium on the N64. I didn't know you needed the GB games to really enjoy it. Being the spoiled kid I was, my mom bought me a lime green GBC and a copy of Pokémon Yellow. I remember going outside on the porch and starting the game and being immediately hooked. I think I played until dark.....which was like four hours straight. I remember mainly leveling up Pikachu and when I got to Brock's gym I really struggled.  :P

My brothers let me try their blue/red games (which they had already started so I couldn't pick the starters) before I ever got my own game so my first official starter was Chikorita in Crystal. 

When I played my brother's games, though, I always liked to teach a Rattata watergun before taking on Brock.  I love looking for non-water types to teach water attacks to.  In white I taught my Herdier surf.

Post by: Aitsuki on July 12, 2016, 05:30:13 PM
First pokemon ever huh?? Mmmm.... Let's see.... I think it was a Mudkip! My brother and I were sort of tag-team playing Ruby for our first pokemon game, and we chose Mudkip as our starter. My brother thought it looked cooler than Torchic and Treecko, and I thought it was cute and liked water types best at that time. Needless to say, as it evolved we were both mightily impressed by its growth and staunch, hulking appearance. Plus, it was the first ever Water/Ground type, so we were pleased when it gained its second typing and we realized it completely eliminated the biggest concern for both ground and water typings. Ground no longer worried about ice too much, and water had no worries over electric. We agreed this was the coolest pokemon type combo we'd ever seen. It became a major powerhouse, with our rival's Treecko line not a big concern, since we of course had a flying type on our team. To this day, my brother and I still like Hoenn the best. He keeps nagging me to let him play my copy of Alpha Sapphire... thinking of buying him Omega Ruby when I get a job so I don't have to give up my awesome account.

If I understood it right, you had to go participate in an official Video game event before July 10th. By participating, it meant that you would be sent a code sometime... this month? (Don't quote me on that part, I can't remember).

Totodile ! :) My very first own (and self-bought) game was Pokemon Gold Edition and I started with the little crocodile <3 Loved him to pieces back then even though I never got to see that he had another evolution after Croconaw lol.
The first ever pokemon game I played was blue or red edition that belonged to a friend. It had Charmander as a starter already when I played it (I didnt even know that you were allowed to pick a pokemon since the game was already started when I got my hands on it XD).

Charmander, of course :) I had him in Pokemon Red, and my brother had Squirtle in Blue. In addition to the games, my mom would buy me Charmander toys and my brother Squirtle ones. I was going through a huge dragon phase, and Charizard is just too dang cool. I stuck with my loyalty to the Fire starters up until my Pokemon hiatus, which started after the original Ruby. Side note, but in that game I was very disappointed in Torchic's later evolutions - Once I learned how it would look, I refused to evolve it so it could stay cute (and useless) forever. And after that I haven't felt inclined to choose the fire starters, just because they're fire. Now they have to earn it!

Haha looks like the majority of us started out in Kanto and, unsuprising, water is the most popular starter, hehe.

Let's rollout to question 2! What is your favourite generation of legendaries? Think of the overall that was introduced that generation and not just "well my favourite legendary is A and even though I really hate legendary B and C, I pick region D."

For me, it has to be Gen 2/Johto. There isn't a single legendary I dislike or am meh about. Bird legendaries, good. Beast trio, good. Adorable mythical Pokemon, good. Too many? Nope! But seriously, Ho-oh is definitely up there as one of my favourites, and the legendary beasts are also probably my favourite trio so I can't go wrong here.

Post by: prancingstag on July 14, 2016, 03:06:57 PM
Got the Shaymin plush yesterday and trying to resist the pin box... I don't play TCG, but the hedgehog is sooo cute!

The FIRST time you went on a Pokemon journey, who was your very first starter Pokemon?

My older brother was the first to get a Pokemon game and he had Yellow, so I would borrow it, start a new file with Pikachu and play for maybe half an hour before switching off without saving so that his data would be kept. If I'd had the choice, I would have always picked Bulbasaur, the "spotted green wombat" was always my favourite of the Kanto starters. A couple years later I got Crystal for myself and started out with Cyndaquil. :)

What is your favourite generation of legendaries?

Johto for me too! I consider it happy coincidence that my first (owned) game was Crystal and the Johto region is still my favourite place to be. I adore the mythology of life, death and rebirth present in the legendaries and the way that their stories all intersect in a meaningful manner. Ho-oh and Lugia look spectacular and both have incredible places of residence, and as I was addicted to the anime, Ho-oh has a very special place in my heart as the beginning of a mystery to be unravelled. I adore the roaming trio - Entei is still my #3 favourite Pokemon of all time - it was so much fun to chase Suicune with Eusine and Morty, and studying the map for that little beast icon, flying here, there and everywhere to try and get close enough to go onto their current route. The GSC legendary encounter music still gives me chills to this day. As a kid I never really knew about events and prize Pokemon, but I saw pictures of Celebi and watched 4Ever, and thought it was extremely cute and had a fascinating power, despite the heavy eyeliner. :P Overall a really really good generation, small legendary pool, excellent worldbuilding and interaction with the player.
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary![Get Shaymin in Nintendo Network]
Post by: DazzleKitty on July 14, 2016, 03:37:44 PM
My favorite generation of Legendaries is definitely the Crystal/Gold/Silver era.

Firstly, I love the 3 legendary cats. Or are they dogs? I'm thinking cats. Lion for Entei, Panther for Suicune, and Tiger for Raikou. Though Suicune actually looks more like a dog than the other two than a cat, so it gets rather confusing.   Pokemon the 3rd movie was a favorite of mine so I really like Entei.
Lugia is a really awesome Legendary too. Very pretty dragon Pokemon.

Post by: aluke on July 15, 2016, 10:17:48 PM
I have a predicament. Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are on sale this week for $30 (normally $45 in Canada). I haven't broken down and gotten a Hoenn remake yet because I didn't think it was really worth upgrading from Emerald; I got the vibe from people that it wasn't significantly better/different than the GBA ones (compared to HG/SS). I do have a TRU  gift card that has been sitting in my wallet for almost two years I really have to use (the sale is elsewhere, but I plan on price matching), but I don't know if I should save it for Sun/Moon instead...or Mario Maker, I don't know why I still don't have it.

Anyway, moving to questions. I'm clearly not alone in loving Johto legendaries, I really think it was the most well rounded group. Not too many, they all play off each other, and they aren't deities that created the world/region, so much as just powerful Pokemon.

If you were to join an evil team, which one would it be?

This one would be a toss up between good ol' Team Rocket or Team Plasma for me. I really liked the concept of Team Plasma, a team that made you question your morals was a nice change from 'let's take over the world', but the execution in game just ruined it. That's why I think I'm leaning towards Rocket, not only are they the nostalgic team, but I like the simpler 'we just want to be rich and take over the world' (no stupid cult and resetting the world because it's not beautiful enough  :pout:), and they're not going to awaken some god-like Pokemon to do it, they're going to CREATE it. I don't like Mewtwo, I never liked Mewtwo, but I love it's backstory and concept. Even in Gen 2, when the inclusion of TR seemed forced and badly paced, the motive was neat.

Dunno who told you that ORAS is basically the same as RSE..... they're SUPER different. Expanded after-story, revamp of Contests, Latios and Latias become part of the story, the PokeNav had a major overhaul, the gym leaders have updated looks, more detailed badges, and their pokemon have more variance in moves, the Secret Base system has a real purpose and goal now..... The game has a LOT more in it. Trust me, it's a good investment, and this is coming from someone whose first pokemon game was Ruby. I played Gen III like, seven times, and I was still engaged and delighted when I played Alpha Sapphire. Seeing Hoenn from a new angle, with more detail, interacting with more of it... it was amazing.
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary![Get Shaymin in Nintendo Network]
Post by: aluke on July 16, 2016, 07:31:12 AM
I guess I just heard a lot more opinions of people who didn't enjoy it? Secret bases were what I was most excited about, but when the game was released, I never heard ANYONE mention it. Soaring is also something that seems really fun and I've been wanting since I first got HM 01, but I don't like the Latis and don't appreciate being forced to keep them on the team so I can soar.  -_-

It's nice to hear something positive though. I'll think it over today if I want to squeeze in another Pokemon game before Gen 7 is out.

oooh lots of questions I've missed out on.. :o let's see..

The FIRST time you went on a Pokemon journey, who was your very first starter Pokemon?
Torchic! I got into Pokemon later than most people, so Emerald was my first game. I just love the little fire chicken ^^

What is your favourite generation of legendaries?
This took a while for me to decide, since I'm not really a fan of most of the legendaries, but I think I'll have to go with gen 1, I like all of the legendaries in that ^^ They're nice and simple, one reason why I don't like most legendaries is that their designs tend to be kind of cluttered. :B

If you were to join an evil team, which one would it be?
Team Rocket! Always had a soft spot for them.

anyone have a couple everstones they dont want anymore? xD friend and I are doing a unevolved challenge and its annoying having to press B every time they level rofl

If you're playing XY and have access to reflection cave, the Roggenrola in there have a 50% chance of holding an everstone, you could farm them for items.

Oh cool! I didnt know that, thanks!

I recommend using a Pokemon with the Frisk ability (http://www.serebii.net/abilitydex/frisk.shtml) for Everstone farming, then you don't end up with a bunch of Everstone-less Roggenrola :D If that makes sense.

I bit the bullet and got Omega Ruby. After all said and done, I'm excited to play through Hoenn again, I haven't touched Emerald in years. Now I'm wondering if the ORAS demo is still up to grab Glalie and the extra nuggets.

I'll toss up another question soon.

Just checked the shop and it's still up in case anyone skipped the demo previously. Redownloading now, but I think I'd rather play through the actual game right now.  :lol:

The dexnav is so amazing I haven't made it past the second route. Lol. I love that you can find Pokemon with egg moves in the wild! It's tempting me to catch 'em all again even though I really just wanted a fun playthrough with a team that isn't boxed half the time in favour of leveling up random Pokemon to evolve.

That sounds like an awesome mug, feel like sharing pictures?  ;)

ooh I love the ORAS games! Even though "visually" Kalos is my favorite region, Iv always been disapointed about how FAST that game flys by lol. My friend and I are replaying XY using only unevolved pokemon for the whole game, and its fun becuase it makes the game last a little bit longer since were forced to really train extra hard in each area. :P

But I think the dexnav in ORAS really made sure I stuck around each area just to collect pokemon, plus all the new features, it was just a really neat game, and trying to get all the legendaries at the end was fun too, I never would have completed my national dex without that game!

See? Told you it's great. Meanwhile, I'm nearly jumping out of my skin waiting for Sun/Moon.... THE NEW LEI POKEMON IS TOO FRICKIN' CUTE!

I LOVE that pokemon so much! I want to get a pretty flower Lei and customize it into a pokemon now xD

That mug is beautiful! I want one! Is it an official item or fan made? The Masterball mug is awesome too, lol! I've been tempted by the Pokeball mug I've been seeing around, but it's too small for my tea drinking needs. I'm really, really tempted to order the old Pokemon Centre Minccino tail mug too. I need more Minccino in my life.

Haha, Aitsuki, you were right. I just got obsessed with hunting down a Taillow with a neat egg move and that's all I ended up doing last night. I need to at least get to the point where I can build my secret base, geez.

Oh, unevolved challenge sounds so much fun! While it wasn't a challenge, my first playthrough of X, I took two NFE Pokemon to the E4, and in my recent playthrough, I only forced myself to evolve my Zorua near the end because I needed Zoroark's dex entry. Unevolved Pokemon are usually just cuter, and I like cute. :P I'm wondering if I should start over (I'm not that far anyway) and do one myself now. All this Minccino talk makes me want to use one.....

Oh neat! Our EB Games has lots of Pokemon plush and apparel, but I've never seen any mugs. To be fair, I would have walked out with ten too!  Especially if they had mugs focusing on Unova starters. :P

In merch land, I did come across some 90's goodies. I was in a used game store and I couldn't help notice these in a glass display, so much nostalgia.

OMG AMAZING!!! Big congrats finds to you, these toys are the best! :dance: Ive been slowly collecting these old 1998 Monster Collection Auldey/TOMY figures, same ones as the toys in your picture but in cool Japanese packaging! I love the bubble packaging on the Japanese MOC ones, but ive been thinking of getting a few of the MIB hasbro "battle sets". My husband and I's #1 bucket list item is to complete the Japanese MOC sets of the first 151 plus togepi. I will take a picture of our collection when I get off work, I get off work around 10am.

Its easy for me to start over whenever i want since i have both x and Y. X is like my main game, I would be heartbroken if something happened to it xD iv got so many hours logged, never have i reset it since I bought it when the games were originally released. I would just freak out haha. Y on the other hand, i literally got that one for side challenges xD.

YESS I do in fact already have the SDCC 2016 Ash and Pikachu! Without Gamestop I wouldn't have gotten it! Check your stores if you want one too, mine cost $19.47. Not sure if all gamestops have them, I just so happen to shop at the world's second biggest Gamestop Store (that's here in Texas near me!)  that also sells more anime/video game/superhero figurines and toys than games lol. I can always keep my eye out for more in case someone needs my help!

Also wanted to share my official MIB Japanese TOMY's! Three of them I found out are from 1997, the shopro ones, and those are the original first runs of the original Gen 1 pokémon Monster Collection! Someday I will have all 95 original Monster Collection sets MOC in Japanese!!!!

I'm slightly annoyed that the GameStop exclusive Pokémon are always so limited. It's like they don't take into account that not everyone can line up at their stores early in the morning. I heard that each store was only getting 2 Arceus plushies. Why not at least give each store enough to match up with the number of figures that come in a box, or is that too logical? :pout:

Post Merge: August 01, 2016, 10:25:45 AM

On that note, my husband called around during his lunch break and got a GS near us to hold a plush and a figure for me. I have anxiety about calling people on the phone... :blush: He didn't even tell me he'd be doing that, he's awesome!

All the EB/GS Pokemon have been codes, it gets people to walk into their stores. I think the fact it was a code was why they squeezed in extra events during the month, and not the other way around. If they want to throw more Pokemon at us, I certainly won't complain, was there a wifi event going on at the same time as Mew?

We can get Volcanion in October!

Ah okay, that does make sense. I didn't notice a correlation between the GS Pokemon and the ones that had codes before!
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! Get Arceus Download code!
Post by: aluke on August 09, 2016, 12:20:00 PM
If anyone missed out on Darkrai in NA, there will be a second chance code in the September Pokemon Club Newsletter. If anyone outside NA needs one, I can use my code in OR and send it over.  :)

I'm excited for Volcanion in October, that with Keldeo will finish off my Pokedex in X, yay.

And, I feel like it's been awhile since the last question, and the thread is all slow again, so discussion time? GameFreak gives us a Pokemon MMO, gone are the days where you're forced to collect 8 gym badges and take down an evil organization. Now you're starting a new adventure and get to choose your own Pokemon profession. What is your goal?

Some options to choose from:
Pokemon Master- The classic, travel around to collect the badges, take on the champion, and become the strongest trainer.
Pokemon Researcher/Prof's Aid- Gotta catch 'em all. You want to fill the Pokedex and learn just about everything you can about Pokemon and their abilities.
Pokemon Breeder- You also want to know everything you can about Pokemon, but on a more personal level. Pokemon aren't a species, they are individuals and you want to bring out each's personal qualities.
Pokemon Coordinator- It's not about the fighting, but you still want to show off your Pokemon are the best with contests and musicals.
Pokethalon Athlete- Again, you're not much for battles but you want to show off your Pokemon's inner power and abilities, with sports!
Movie Star- You and your Pokemon dream of stardom and fame.
Other- Either you want to casually run around with your Pokemon with no ultimate goal, or you have something else in mind that I can't think of. :P

For me, it would definitely be the breeder route. I much prefer the idea of playing with and pampering all my Pokemon (Amie!).

Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! Get Arceus Download code!
Post by: Aitsuki on August 09, 2016, 01:04:16 PM
Mm, me? It'd have to be a Coordinator/Tripokalon competitor! I love the Contests and Tripokalons! I wish the Tripokalon had been available in X/Y, it looked like so much fun in the anime. Plus, seeing the new version of Amie in Sun/Moon where you can groom your pokemon? TOO CUTE!
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! Get Arceus Download code!
Post by: Luxrayx on August 10, 2016, 02:44:23 PM
aluke, I'm surprised about your definition of a Pokemon breeder, considering what breeding is currently like. I'll be the first to admit breeding hundreds of Pokemon, looking for that one with perfect IVs... And letting the ones with imperfections just kind of rot :P
I would be a breeder, though. I mean, in your definition. Because really, who wouldn't want to know Pokemon on a personal level, and who doesn't adore Pokemon amie?
Title: Re: Pokemon 20th Anniversary! Get Arceus Download code!
Post by: aluke on August 10, 2016, 04:51:26 PM
I had to look up what the Tripokalon was, it's like contests with the trainer participating too? Sounds neat. X/Y did need a little side game like that when we needed a break from gyms and Team Flare. Or, if it ended up like musicals, maybe not, those were seriously pointless.

Oh, I was considering more of how breeders were portrayed in the anime in my description than in-game breeding; Brock was all about taking care of Pokemon, like grooming them and making them special food. I guess it could still overlap though, breeding Pokemon so they're born as strong and healthy as possible...just maybe not stuffing the 'rejects' in boxes or cages for eternity. :lol: Sorry for the confusion there.

Post by: aluke on August 11, 2016, 04:35:00 PM
Technically not a tree, but I think Professor Ringwreath would suit you nicely. :P

Hope you can find a code. The store near me is out so I don't think I'll be able to pick up extra codes, but I'll check some other locations if I'm nearby.

If you want to help me, my friend code is 4141-4642-0341. Post here or via PM, I'm going to keep an eye on both. And then we'll set a date! I'll try to be available all day just in case, but there will be some days where I'll be busy and I won't be able to do so.

So hey, I have a question, anyone here collect old game boxes, manuals, or guides? I unearthed my old Pokemon Gold box w/manual a little while back, but I previously gave the game to a friend so don't really see the need to keep just a box. Furthermore, I stumbled across the manuals for Crystal, Blue, and Yellow, and the player's guides for Pokemon R/B and Pokemon Stadium... I don't want to just throw this stuff away because I learned people do collect these but don't really know how to go about passing it on. >_< If anyone here would be interested I can get some pictures up.

I just found out about the new premium collection box for generations. Man is that tempting with 3 card storage boxes, Art book, 10 packs of generation cards, 2 EX cards and a figure.

I did buy a lot of base set pokemon cards recently, anyone need a pokemon sapphire/ruby battle e-card for the gameboy advance? It's Gentleman Nils. Not sure what to do with it, I certainly don't own the e-reader game. I'll gladly mail it in a greeting card to anyone who needs one :) Been awhile since I've mailed outside of the country though so USA/Canada preferred but if not I guess I'll be relearning the ropes for international mail.

Ooh, the Mew/Mewtwo one?? I just looked it up, I want it too! I'll probably have to import it though, for some reason we don't get the TCG figures over here any more :( But it's sooo pretty, omg *w*

Hey, does anyone want a shiny swap? I accidentally ended up with two shiny Vanillites, so if anyone wants to trade a different shiny for one, let me know.

Edit: In my continuing hunt for a shiny Cubchoo, I now have three Vanillites. So if you want two... Yeah :P
Edit again: I... found another one. I can trade you the whole Vanillite line and still have one for myself what

Well I had 3 non paying bidders :/ but I did win the artbook for under $20 by itself so I'm going to opt for the Trainer box set if it dips back down to 35 again on amazon. Currently the cheapest is 42 but I'd rather not pay that much so I'll just wait it out for a sale if possible.

For your information:

September 27, 2016

Darkrai Returns for a Short Time

If you missed May’s Mythical Pokémon, here’s another chance to catch it.

The Mythical Pokémon Darkrai was first available at GameStop stores in May. If you weren't able to make it to GameStop in time, here's another chance to receive the Pokémon. Simply enter this code into your Pokémon Omega Ruby, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Pokémon X, or Pokémon Y game to add Darkrai to your collection:

Code: Darkrai20

It's the same Pokémon that was given out at GameStop, so if you received that one, you won't be able to get another one.

Don't miss this second chance to get the Mythical Pokémon Darkrai. This code is valid until October 31, 2016, so be sure to enter it by then. And be sure to visit Pokemon.com/20 for more details on the Pokémon 20th celebration.

Got my Keldeo box yesterday and had sooo much luck with the booster packs!!! Im only actively collecting the generations set atm and had awesome luck! Got two EX cards (Leafeon  (http://pokewiki.de/Folipurba-EX_(Generationen_10))and Sylveon (http://pokewiki.de/Feelinara-EX_(Generationen_RC21))). My hubby also surprised me with a collectors tin, got Magearna (https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01LYK0TFY/ref=twister_B01LYJXJ7N?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1), the card is really cool and she / it has a cool ability!

I would also be interested in a Halloween egg swap, assuming I have the time to breed some fun eggs.  :)

For anyone collecting the 20th plushies, Mew is apparently getting a rerelease in a different box with a plush Pokeball. I haven't been able to make it to EB yet for the code, so I have yet to check if it's around me, but there have been multiple sightings in Ontario.

Hope you can find it around you! I went to get my Volcanion today and they had a couple out, so I grabbed a quick picture. I wasn't near an EB when Mew was first released, so I have no idea if the plush is a variation or not, but it's super cute.

Anyone else really bothered by the fact that there is not a Genesect pokeball figure?
>.< I don't get why they would leave just one pokemon out of the collection, and its going to bug me forever since Iv been collecting those figures and the tcg pins.

At first I thought maybe it was just an error, but I got my Gamestop newsletter and even in that they only mention the plush. :/

It's so dumb that Genesect doesn't have a figure. I was looking forward to one, especially since my husband has a small collection of Genesect things. I told him that I almost want to sell all the other figures because it'll forever bother me that only ONE Pokémon is missing.

Neither of the Game Stops I went to yesterday had the actual cards in but they have backup codes they can just print off to give you.  Still, it would be nice to have the card since I have all the other codes in card form.  Maybe I'll try back in a few days.  And one of them still had a ton of Volcanion cards.

I don't collect the figures myself, but it bugs me too. Why would ONE Pokemon get excluded?  :mad: I like Genesect a lot (first bug legendary) so seeing it get shafted makes me sad.

I still need to get my code, I did go to an EB Monday morning but they hadn't received their shipment of Genesect anything yet.

Not related to legendaries, I found this plush at the local comic book store yesterday, and I'm so tempted! (spoilered because image is huge)

Has anyone been able to get the Genesect plush? I went out yesterday to about three or four different gamestops and not a single one had gotten ANY of their stock in (only one had the cards with the pin). Also, I hadn't realized that they didn't make a figure  :blink: That makes absolutely no sense to me

So according to the Pokemon website:

"While you're at GameStop, take a look at their cool, limited-edition 8" Genesect plush and 2" figures."

The plush and 2"figures should be coming.

There's no Genesect figure, unless they've been keeping it super secret this entire time. There's just a plush. Even the official Tomy and Pokemon 20th anniversary websites just have a plush listed for Genesect, when they have a plush and figure listed for all the previous Pokemon and Meloetta.

I haven't actually gone to GameStop yet, so I may swing by there today to see if they have the plush. Still considering selling my figures. If I had known from the beginning that they weren't going to do all of them, I wouldn't have started collecting them in the first place. :pout:

I had noticed from the beginning that they never had a figure listed on the genesect page, but I had hoped it was just an error, still kinda hoping that is the case and we might get them!

I went to gamestop today to get my codes, They didnt have the actual cards yet, or any of the other Genesect merch, so they printed them on the receipt, they DID have the TCG pin boxes though, but I passed, since I know I can get that almost anywhere.

In unrelated news, They had the Sun/Moon starter plushes at GS so I bought a Rowlet! So cute, and soft! and I am so excited that they become Grass/ghost type! My two most favorite types!

Hehe I have yet to preorder SunMoon because I wil be off on that Friday, and i am not sure if I want to get it via Amazon Prime discount or not and wait until later that day to play it. xD

I sorta lost interest with the figures when I realized they were mainly "shiny/pearly" versions of the regular one you can get from other sites. I noticed this with Jirachi. It is a real shame that Genesect got skipped - i bet he would look nice in that pearly look.

I'm excited for sun/moon for many reasons. 1) It's Hawaii basically and my bf has spent quite a bit of time there and he's interested in playing with me or at least cuddles and watching over my shoulder. 2) I'm curious about the new stuff they are trying out I'm assuming they are having to compete quite a bit this time with Yokai Watch being so huge in Japan right now. (Also a fun game) Z moves remind me of how Nate uses the yokai watch.

Good thing I brought my 2DS to the student's exchange!  :P I'm currently playing Platinum, and I want to add Giratina to my party, but here's a tough question: who should I substitute Giratina with? Under the spoiler, my party and reasons not to:

Spoiler
Torterra: I don't usually keep starters unless I like them a lot, and Torterra fits in this category. I want to fight until the Elite 4 with him!
Rotom: This is one of my "permanent" party members because I like Rotom a lot and it's going nowhere
Lucario: I've never played with Lucario in a "core" Pokémon game before and now that he learnt Aura Sphere... it's hard to let him go
Lopunny: Okay, this looks like an easy one because Lopunny is weak, but let me tell you, this one is not: he has survived both Cyrus' deadly Pokemon and Giratina's attacks! And it saved my party's butt many times with Charm and Return
Froslass: Another "permanent" resident, this cutie is not going anywhere
Sneasel: I actually wanted to swap Giratina for this one, but I can't until I evolve him - these are my self-imposed rules, and I'm sticking to them

So go to an area where you can get a lot of EXP and spend a little time evolving Sneasel.  Then you have accomplished the goal of evolving him and you can put Giratina into your party before moving on.  :)

I'm with Pokeyone on their idea about evolving sneasel.

also I LOOVE when you get a "weak" pokemon who actually turns out to actually be a big fighter. xD My friend and I are playing XY through again but only using unevolved pokemon, with a limit of ONE pokemon who does not have an evolution. I have a joltik that just kicks butt xD and even though hes not really one of the weakest, were definitely finding some typically weak pokemon "gems" in our training. :p

I have a Magikarp that I'm not going to evolve just to see how strong it is possible to make it.  I'm sad that the only moves it can learn are Splash and Flail because I think if the creators had let it learn some other moves (like Hidden Ability-which EVERY other Pokemon is allowed to learn) then it could actually kick some tail without having to be evolved into Gyarados.

I love that trend and I use it very often in my runs, since I only play with Pokemon I like or want to try out, not necessarily because of their power.

Guess with who I beat Lance's strongest Dragonite in Soul Silver
Spoiler
With a Dunsparce

Also on the 5th I guess they're starting the Magearna distribution.

So does anyone have a spare Genesect code? BR stores around here are having trouble with them, apparently.

They're redistributing Arceus too. Just type ARCEUS16 for European players and ARCEUS20 for North American players.

Any details on this one? I thought it was over the internet, but all I'm seeing is Munchlax. Do I need a code?

It feels good to be finished getting all the 20th anniversary plush Pokemon from this year.

Still going to sell off the 20th anniversary figure collection, though. It bothers me way too much that Genesect wasn't included.

*revives* Is this still being used as our merch/general Pokemon discussion thread? I have story time:

I mentioned awhile back I was tempted by Celebi, and after debating I decided to pass because I want to downsize. But then there was a 40% sale, so I kind of checked back in. Celebi was sold out at the TRU I went to, and was like, "it's for the best, I don't NEED it"...of course, I made the mistake of telling my mom, and this was back in Nov/Dec when my mom scrambles for any hints on things I want (I'm difficult around Christmas).

So anyway, a little after Christmas passed, I hopped into TRU, and my mom asked if they had the Celebi? Then she admits that she went and got a rain check for the sale price, after calling all the TRUs in our area to find one in stock with no luck. They didn't, but she gave me the r.c. anyway in case I find it later, but she also got a quantity of two...and I happened to have enough credit for two from TRU from a price exchange on something else I received for Christmas...

So now I'm a proud owner of Celebi and Meloetta. My second choice would have been Mew, but that was an EB exclusive, then it would have been Victini but I really dislike the ears on the plush, So when I saw Meloetta, I went for her. Though they had Shaymin at the store too, and now I'm super tempted to pick one up too, as well as the Mew with Pokeball at EB. Ugh! My mom opened up a door I didn't want to go through! But at least the two I picked up were nearly half off so it was a justified purchase, AND technically a late Christmas gift.

Anyway, pictures because Meloetta's month got overshadowed by Sun and Moon.

So, since 20th plush and merch is officially over. Anyone have pictures or thoughts to share about their collection?  :biggrin:

I ended up selling off my figures, but I still have all of the plush from last year! I'm working on figuring out how to display them in my living room, so they don't look very organized right now. Just stacked up on top of each other in the corner until I can work something out.

I hear you. I already had little interest in the figures honestly, but between the EB releases being packaged differently than the TRU ones, plus Genesect being left out, I just felt it was less collectable than the plush and pins/TCG.

I'm trying to figure out how to display mine too, I think I'm for sure keeping them attached in their little bags, but my tiny Pokemon shelf is a huge mess right now and I don't know how I want to sort things. Right now mine are just hanging off to the side too. I think having them stacked can be a nice display actually, a little wall of mythical legendaries~

If you missed Genesect in November you can get it with the code Genesect20.
