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.

I really wish the eShop had a progress bad or something. This is the worst download screen I've ever seen.

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.

poo poo, so we can never switch out our sd cards ever? :(

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 might have always bought and downloaded everything from New York, but I'm really, truly from Delaware, honest :patriot:

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.

If you put it to download later you can get a percentage. Of course that means you need to close your 3DS and keep yourself from checking it obsessively too often so it may not be that useful.

You can, just have to put the sd card into a card reader on your computer if you have one. Once in, copy literally everything on the card and then copy it on a new card. I moved all my crap from the card that came with my 3ds xl and put it on a 32gb one.

EDIT: But yeah, be careful. Google around a bit before attempting.

Sunday is a no-go, they typically handoff to USPS to make the actual delivery to your house and USPS doesn't do jack poo poo on Sunday.

You had an encounter with a real like Pokemon NPC trainer.

Did she have a brother who shouted about his shorts?

Smogon estimates his stats as 80/90/75/100/75/120, so yeah, Special and Speed.

I'm an rear end in a top hat who always goes +High Attack Stat/-Non-Used Attack Stat, though I know Speed is often more important in actual competitive play. I just like big numbers and hitting things with those numbers.

EDIT: Actual, ignore me, apparently Water Shuriken is a physical move so maybe go with a +Speed/-One of the Defenses, since his defenses are crap anyway and then he can hit decently well with either type of attack? I don't know how to competitive play, actually, just ignore me entirely. I'll probably go Hasty, myself? Maybe? If I don't just go Adamant now.

I think someone in the 3DS thread said that Animal Crossing keeps track of the last save you loaded, so you can't back up a save and try to go back to it later or something. Just copying over everything to a new card still works.

This has happened to me before with Wii U DLC. (and happened to me again tonight.) You are just going to have to watch it the next few days and call your bank if the charge goes through that didn't purchase a game. Did you get an address error?
