Uh. According to the website http://www.pokemon.com/us/ It might actually be three more hours, unless it's basing it off the client's system clock in which case laffo We'll find out in forty minutes or so, I guess!

I found a shiny Geodude once. It was in Soul Silver. I still caught her somehow.

I once found a shiny Tyrogue. He became a Hitmonchan. This would be cool if I hadn't found it in Crystal. It is the only shiny I've ever found.

I was vaguely considering going to the midnight release at the store where I preordered my copy, but I think I'll instead settle for going there at a time when it won't be crowded with neckbeards trying to shove their way through the door and I won't be playing it in a half-conscious stupor.

Wonder Trade is both the most amazing thing where you can trade pokemon from further ahead in the game down to people in the earlier routes and also the biggest pile of discarded Fletchling's

Haifisch posted:So apparently Amaura and Tyrunt are day/night linked evolves - Amaura only evolves at night, and Tyrunt only evolves during the day. I have no idea why the hell they did this, since I don't think any other fossils have required anything beyond a simple level evolve. Son of a bitch, I'm planning on using Tyrunt but can basically only play video games in the late afternoon/at night  Also shiny chat: I've encountered 3 shiny Pokemon in my time. The first Gulpin I ever encountered in Sapphire, but I wasn't totally paying attention at the start of the battle, and my Marshtomp was about to faint (after that rival encounter) so I ran. I encountered a shiny Cacnea in that same Sapphire playthrough and used like 30 Ultra balls but failed to catch it, I've thought about Poke Radar chaining a shiny one to make up for it. The third was a shiny Kricketune in Diamond while I was EV training a Weavile. I caught that one! I used some RNG trickery to get a shiny Slugma and Bellsprout for use in SoulSilver, and between Gen 3 and 4 at various times either soft reset or used RNG trickery to get some shiny legendaries to follow me around in SoulSilver. I had a pretty badass Legendary Pokemon box in SoulSilver now that I think about it.

Another good reason to get it off the eShop. Sure there'll be some download congestion, but I can just wait in comfort at home while that happens. Also, as a final reminder, if you don't have enough money in your eShop account for the game, for the love of god, add it now. It might already be too late to avoid all the congestion, but you can probably still beat the worst of it. It might also not be that big a problem, but there's no real reason not to take care of it now, while we wait and while it's guaranteed to not be a laggy disaster. I'm also going to be very curious to see if the eShop can actually survive this. Guess us eShop users will find out real soon

Talking about shinies, I had only one 1/8192 shiny ever, a Venonat in Crystal. After that, I only saw one shiny in the wild - an Unown in FR which I couldn't catch, and that was lame as hell. I hope I get better luck now!

ImpAtom posted:Can you add just $40? It looks to me like it's $10/$20/$50. Just do $50 to account for taxes. If you wait until it's actually on sale you can just add the needed funds, but if you're trying to get money in ahead of time you have to use their increments. It's not like it's a waste unless you plan to never buy something on the eShop again.

Thinking about getting it, but how easy would it be to collect Pokemon not in X/Y? I know people did some trickery with the global center and wi-fi routers to collect giveaway Pokemon and so on in Diamond/Pearl, any idea if that will be doable in X/Y?

I've pretty much decided not to get the game, but I have two questions-I-probably-know-the-answer-to that may change it. --Have they done anything to streamline moving pokemon from a previous game other than "trade one at a time for a bajillion starting zone guys"? I actually have two DSes but that's always annoying to keep up to date, particularly as collections have gotten bigger. --Any real access to previous editions' pokemon? B2/W2 made a big deal about it and had maybe ten you could encounter, I'm mainly getting tired of seeing "caterpie clone #15" and it would be nice to play with some of the more iconic guys like Squirtle. Seriously, we've got five generations of pretty-interesting starters that are as rare as Mewtwo and such these days, limited to store givaways and lucky trades (since you can't search for trades not in your dex). Instead if we see old pokemon it's guys like Zubat (even if Crobat is awesome it's a loving Zubat) or Ratatta. --They haven't brought back the pokelympics have they? A guy can dream.

I think the eShop is more robust than people think, but we'll see. And tax is only applied when you actually go to purchase the game.

My shinies: -A Skitty I caught in Ruby during a swarm. -A Regice, also in Ruby, but I didn't know it was shiny for literally years, until I got a DS and could see with the backlight, because it's so similar in color and the GBA was so goddamn dim I never could've known. -A Shiny Sentret in the Safari Zone in Heart Gold that got away  -...A Shiny Sentret in the Route just outside New Bark Town, also in Heart Gold -A shiny Buizel with surprisingly good IVs I caught at the route outside the Abundant Shrine in Black 1 -A shiny Maractus I got while hatching a ton of Maractus eggs for reasons I forget in Black 2. My favorite shiny! I should train her up. Aside from that, I also got the Gible, Haxorus and Gyarados freebies, and the Shiny Event Beasts, and the Shiny Event Giratina from this week. Those don't count though. Off to Gamestop for the midnight release.
