Don't really matter, but get Moon because the Moon is cooler than the Sun figuratively and literally.

PCJ: What are the expensive puzzle pieces for again?

I've been on a losing streak lately. I don't want to sound like an rear end but, the losses are not my fault. It usually boils down to lovely hands (three 8's in a row) or I got clocked by some lovely traffic jam and I'm now bounced to the rear.

What do you guys do when you are losing a bunch, retire the horse? Drugs?

Sometimes you just have to play out the string and hope you've given the horse enough stats that it will be helpful when you breed it. After Mature mode, three losses will immediately push the horse towards the farm.

The internal clock in Moon is reversed so it'll be 6am in game if you're playing at 6pm and such if that matters to you.

Q: Why not Sun?
A: Because Pokemon Sun is a lot more inconsistent in areas. The most obvious ones are Dexio with confuse spam, which can waste like a minute if it goes well for him, and Totem Gumshoos has Super Fang which is very dangerous (and Totem Raticate only has Bite).

You also fight Parasect in Lush Jungle which has Spore and a bunch of stab life draining moves which makes it hard to kill.

Other than that, Solgaleo has a better movepool but has inconsistent accuracy on his moves making it much riskier to play with.

Q: Why the boy?
A: He is chosen to skip getting the Makeup Bag; only the girl recieves this key item, saving around 4 seconds.

The answer's quite clear.

It's really weird how nidoranz had male / female dimorphism a generation before any other pokes it's never sat well with me. I don't really understand why they didn't just merge the two in Gen2

I bought one of those black Friday new Nintendo 3DS for $99 and it is NOT the XL edition

Of course I've already lost the stylus. Went in to GameStop to buy a replacement and couldn't find anything explicitly labeled for NEW Nintendo 3DS.

Is there a compatible stylus or do I need to order a replacement from Japan or what

Also I'd like to order a glow in the dark, or at least white one. Black stylus seems designed to be lost immediately.

Thank you! I tried the Nintendo FAQ and the link they had didn't go there. This was the cheapest stylus I could find at $10. I ordered two, what a pain in the rear end. Apparently other than a couple of bundle deals, the non-XL new Nintendo DS has only been sold in a couple of bundle packs according to the Gamestop manager dude. The initial store associate had no idea what I was talking about.

Yeah, that's going to be a thing. Accessories for the non-XL N3DS are not really readily available in NA. Sorta sucks. Nintendo didn't plan to release it here until much customer interest they've only released them here in "limited" fashions and it sucks.

Non-XL N3DS stuff is like impossible to find in the US. Might as well pick one/some off of Amazon.

How can you tell if your game or save data is corrupted? My digital copy of Monster Hunter Generations keeps crashing and I'm not sure whether to redownload the game or the save data.

Use a userland exploit to export the save data. Delete the game and reinstall. Try to run it. If it works, try importing the save again. If it crashes, it's probably the save.

You can "repair" your copy by going to the games eShop page and selecting the option to repair. Hopefully that'll help.

They'll take bigger (I've got a 128 in mine), but you may have to format it in a weird way. If I remember, it has to be FAT32, but you might need a certain program to get it that way.

Yeah.

The catch is that the 3DS only understands FAT32, and the official SD card spec says that cards bigger than 32GB must be formatted to exFAT. Well behaved formatters like the one built into Windows will refuse to format them to FAT32.

But FAT32 does technically support >32GB volumes so you can use a tool like guiformat to do it regardless of what the spec says :)

I think it says everything is tied to your Nintendo account once you link it and/or buy it.
