Wait, just having a DSTwo in the slot reduces the sleep battery life? Thought it would only be drawing additional power if you were doing something that used the onboard processor in the cart.

I'm willing to bet it doesn't

Weird, it should autodetect it every time you boot up the game (gives me a CPP turned on dialogue box first thing on boot). Have you tried closing and re-opening the game?

I tried a couple other games (Xenoblade and Smash) and neither of them were responding to the nub either, so I ended up calling Nintendo buuuuut...

I'd also throw in, completely shutting down the 3DS and booting it back up too.

Turns out this was my problem. :downs: I haven't turned the thing off since I got it. Completely turning it off fixed the problem and I felt like a doofus. The Nintendo Support lady was super nice anyway. :3: (But aren't they always?)

Anyway, crisis averted; my N3DS doesn't have a faulty nub; I can MonHun again! (Now if only I didn't suck at it so much...)

Look up weapon tutorials on youtube and try them all out. Learning how the weapons combo really makes a difference. And use the Low Rank monsters to get an idea of the monster's patterns.

Yes, just having the DSTwo in causes the battery to die relatively quickly even in sleep mode. It's weird.

I hope fans portray the horse as the designated member of the super hero team that constantly sells out and accepts sponsorships.

Also are slurpees not a thing in Japanese 7-11s? I know the chain itself is huge over there but I had wondered why the most iconic thing about the store here in the states wasn't one of the available items back in New Leaf.

I meant actual brand slurpees with the logo on the machine or something.

Also I totally missed the Monster Hunter items and the fact that that's an actual villager and not a piece of furniture. Now I wish they were still somehow able to update New Leaf and bring all this new stuff over but it's probably not worth the effort for the most part.

Most Japanese try not to kill themselves via sugar so if there is a location that has Slurpees even the large is tiny compared to North America.

I know the processor is also used for firmware upgrades, both when already working in a machine and after it has been blocked by a system update. I wonder if just showing the Alex Rider Stormbreaker icon causes drain. It just says it is a DSTwo on the DS and DSlite.

Strange question, but have you changed the position of where SMT IV comes up on your Streetpass list? On my system, the most recent game I've activated Streetpass for won't register any new streetpasses. I have to disable then re-enable an older game to bump my new game to a new spot on the list, and then it works. Could be worth trying.

SMT IV should be getting at least a few hits every now and then.

I bought the Majora's Mask limited edition new for around £25 and it's so not worth the £45 or whatever the original retail price was.

The pin is really nice though.

Can someone give me a tip as to how to make a good deck in pokemon trading card game? Is it better to stock up on base level pokemon or have more energy cards? Right now I'm like 50/50 as to winning or losing but it seems like its mostly rng screwing me over

- Use shittons of trainer cards. Your deck should basically always have 4 Bill, at the very least. Some Professor Oaks are good too. Computer Search is literally the best card in the game, bar none.
- You don't need as much energy as you think you do.
- Use at least few single-stage cards. Farfetch'd is a relatively easy one to get that can be decent early game.
- Some evolution lines are just better than others. For example, in a fire deck, Ponyta-Rapidash is waaaay better than Growlithe-Arcanine or Vulpix-Ninetales. gently caress around with your deck a lot until you figure out what cards are best.
- Stage 2 pokemon often aren't worth it because they usually take forever to come out. If you've got a few Pokemon Breeders that can make things a little better.
- Don't build a deck around Charizard. I'm sorry, but he sucks unless you combine him with Venusaur and that's annoying.
- Cards that attack the bench are cool and good. Cards with Pokemon Powers are usually also cool and good.
- There's a set of Jolteon/Vaporeon/Flareon that don't use any specific energy. They're useful because you can throw them in any deck (along with Eevee) and diversify your elemental types without having to add energy of that type.
- One energy for 20 damage on a basic pokemon is incredible

That's off the top of my head

Cool thanks. I'm trying to go through with a water and electric deck and it's been okay so far. Should I try to make a jack of all trades deck instead of focus on one element

majormonotone
Jan 25, 2013

You should pretty much never try to build a deck with more than two types. Maybe three at the most

e: If you get lucky with booster packs you can just build Haymaker which will completely break the game

I think there are a bunch of people who can create trailing images. I know some who could do this as if they were just going out for a stroll.
Since you're fighting arena typed opponents most of the time, I'd recommend just making counter decks against those types as appropriate. Making decks with many types just guarantees you'll never have the right kind of energy on hand.
