LOWTAX'S SPINE FUND

Of my friend list (which got amazingly buffed thanks to the other thread), fifteen people are in the eShop right now (fourteen of them goons). Is it any surprise that thing crashed?

(It should also be noted that pretty much every single other online person I have is already playing Pokemon. I think we all want the same thing here)

Confirmed in the last thread, I believe. Trade an NPC for any pokemon

Good luck getting the eShop to work, you guys.

Yes, you trade your rival anything you want for it.

Great, glad to hear. Froakie / Bulbasaur / Torchic all the way, then.

How do you tell how close it is to being done?

Where in the process are you? Before downloading, no idea. If "Download Now", the box fills up over time, indicating progress. If "Download Later", select the present box on the Home Menu to see a percentage.

It's even worse if you have it set to Download Later. Ever time you open it back up, that empty present is mocking you.

Feeling pretty lovely since my friends left to our gamestop but "oh we can't take you but we can bring you back your copy!!" one friend doesn't even have a 3ds. :( I told them no since I wanted to get the torchic, but I've been in a bad mood ever since.

Hope all of your downloads work great, guys.

I feel really dumb, but I was positive that the eShop price was cheaper than the physical. I wish I got the physical now, since I'm filling up the SD card my 3DS came with and I can't move my Animal Crossing save ever. :( I'm a dummy.

Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah I know but it's easier and I just wanted to go to the release, but I would have no way of getting back. Which is why it stung when my friends were going but "we don't have room for you but we can get your game" because I wanted to talk to people about stuff. Instead I've just been sitting at home trying not to cry and failing.

Anyway hopefully the download issues work out!

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Eventually the errors stopped for me and I was able to add funds. Now I get to wake up early tomorrow and rush to the bank to deposit the money i didn't have in my banking account.

Download is chugging along. Here's hoping that Comcast doesn't poo poo the bed tonight (I've had internet problems exclusively on Friday and Saturday nights for the last 2 months).

I'll post how long the DL took me when it finishes. I'm probably not sleeping tonight.

You are probably not going to be able to do anything for at least an hour or two. Just gotta be patient at this point.

Select mystery gift at the menu when you have a wi-fi connection and you will get it. Same feature was in black and white.

Select Mystery Gift at the startup menu, there's some postman NPC to talk to, you can even reset if you save right before talking to him to farm better stats and poo poo for the Torchic. It comes with its megastone.

Keep trying. Took about 7 tries for me to get through.

I added funds about 30mins ago, but was $10 short because I'm dumb and thought the game was $30. It took me about 7 tries, but it finally went through, and is downloading now.

Yeah, technically everybody "pays" online taxes as far as I know. Just some states make you auto-pay them rather than "report them later when you pay your taxes". So, just as a thing, it might be helpful to "move" to one of those latter category of states before making digital purchases unless you super love your old state and think it super deserves that $1 or whatever for when you "move" back. This is especially important if you aren't using a credit card and thought two $20 prepaid things would have you covered for this when they totally won't.

I totally won't rat on you for doing such a thing when years later you decide to run for public office, I swear.

I cannot quantify just how much irrational hatred that orange download box is drawing out of me. Like it's not even that the download speed is slow or anything, I'm like 1/4th orange by now. I don't mind not knowing the exact speed or anything and I'm in not that much of a hurry to play the game. It's just that, I mean, look at that loving thing.
