Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and barbecue your own drumsticks!

Volcanion is another card distribution. If you want one, better get there early! I just got mine. Can't wait to have an absolutely full Pokedex just in time for S&M!

Baaaaaaaaaalls. I'm not dealing with the lovely holiday bus schedule to go to the dirty ol' mall just to get a Pokemon I illegally whipped up ages ago (How does this guy have a Volcanion in a Heavy Ball?! He must be some kind of CRIMINAL!)
I don't even expend the effort to swap games and download two mystery gift mons anymore if they're all gonna be level 100 and non-tradeable on the GTS. If they did a Victini-style in-game low-level legendary mon, I might actually use it for a bit, for ha-has.

Honestly, I hope they do add in a Fighting l-type only brawl minigame. Pokken was a missed opportunity for that.

I really wish event Legendaries came in a lower level.

I'd love to be able to run through a game with a Victini or a Celebi in my team.

I played Pokemon Ranger and got the Manaphy egg and since it came out before D/P, I was able to transfer the egg to Diamond right at the start of the game. I hatched a level 1 Manaphy and it was my water type through the entire game.

It was awesome.

Is this Volcanion distribution time/quantity limited?

It should help counter them, yeah. Though, if you're using Choice Specs or something, you could probably afford to go Modest.

Both. 10th through 31st, and if your store runs out of cards they can print you codes on a receipt but they are lazy and won't.

Yeah. I heard about it a couple times on here (or elsewhere?) and my little sister had to hunt down a Gamestop that would do it. I think they send numbers back to Nintendo or something so it's a hassle to print up new ones and make sure those get counted too, but I'm just spitballing where that's concerned.

Since I just brought home my newborn son, the likelyhood of me getting to a Gamestop this month is pretty nil. If any hero goon wants to help a brother out with a spare code it would be mega appreciated.

I'm going to be doing my best to fill out my living dex before the new game comes out, that way I no longer have to worry about "do I have X, have I used X before", because the answer will be yes for everything! So I can try whatever!

Since I live in a country Nintendo does not give a poo poo about, if anyone can get me a code, I'd be super thankful! I have a full livingdex (except for that one), so I can breed down anything that can be bred if that works for a trade, and I have a few spare legendaries because...I obsessively collect poo poo. It's me, I'm the guy who pays for Pokemon Bank.

Heh, I'm about to pay for the Pokebank too, I'm compulsively trying to complete my dex and I'm over 30 with a boring normal life. Basically playing Pokemon is my dirty secret, no one knows except my wife and daughter (who's very ok with it). But honestly if you like JRPG, grinding, and collecting stuff Pokemon and Shin Megami Tensei are the poo poo today.

I just look at it as a hobby. I don't have the space for a more classical collecting hobby like coins or bugs, so a hobby that I can fit on a postage-stamp sized piece of plastic is ideal for me.

There's only a handful of Pokémon I need to have a living Pokédex with just Gen VI native Pokémon. Most of them happen to be trade evolutions though.

I understand that people are upset that they removed abilities and condensed Attack and Special Attack down to a single stat, but frankly, I haven't played a game since Blue Version and this is for children regardless, so it just makes sense.

I can't believe they decided to make turn order so reliant on speed that faster Pokémon get multiple turns before slower ones can move. Also faster ones have a high chance of dodging any move at random.
