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?

I just called my bank to give them a heads up about it and I'll be calling nintendo tomorrow in the morning to tell them as well.

I see some talk about it but has there been actual confirmation it uses the Animal Crossing style system handshake for saves?

VVVVVVVV There are two versions for a reason dude.

I have a 3DS loaded with money intended for insane lawyers and a physical pre-order that due to work schedules, terrible store hours and Monday holidays I may not be able to pick up until Tuesday.

Help me not do something really stupid here.

I'm sure they'll come through. Next day shipping is the poo poo; when I order my medicine online, I usually order next day on Thursday night, it ships Friday, I get one notification when it gets to Tennessee a few hours after it ships, then nothing at all until it's within ten miles of where I live. It's in my hands two hours after that, one Saturday a month. It always makes me anxious, even though I know that it happens the exact same way every time. Good luck!

On the other hand, UPS's Saturday shipping is an option, and Amazon seems to not always offer it. I'm not sure if it's dependent on location or item, though.

That doesn't actually say much! Skyrim was half the size of Bioshock Infinite. Last of Us was four times as big as the PC version, even (for some reason). There's probably more stuff going on behind the hood of X/Y is all.

Out of curiosity, was there ever a rough comparison has to how many people were doing X vs Y? According to Amazon X is in the lead, I suppose since its legendary is less ridiculous looking.

Huh. For some reason I thought they were similar file sizes.

Still, IMPATIENCE! :argh:

So like I said, not my fault. Nobody can judge me for it.
But, yeah...
Okay.
I admit it.

Okay so lovely situation here. I gat the physical cart of Y and I pop it into the 3DS and it has the logo pop up and then I get this loving message that says "The SD card couldn't be recognized, please end the game an start again." I have tried ending the game and I checked the cart and there is no damage to it as far as I can tell, and my DS works fine because I just played Fire Emblem. so can anyone tell me what the hell.

It's not so much what's going on behind the hood as it's the fact that Pokemon has art assets for over 700 unique pokemon, not to mention alternate forms. Art almost always accounts for the vast majority of a game's file size.

Also finally finished downloading see you guys in Kalos!

James T. Kirk was a great man, but that was another life.
If I'm resetting to get a female starter do I need to delete my game or simply go back to before I open the pokéball?
