Lol my Gamestop told me "Nintendo isn't letting us do a midnight release." Why even lie about that? I really do hate Gamestop.

Cartoon network was really getting restrictive on their format and restricted the introduction to 30 seconds. Hopefully we get something longer again.

I kinda doubt it, for Marvel and Star Wars stuff they only show a logo for five seconds with a half-jingle. Their in-house stuff gets it better, but nothing really gets to one minute it seems.

Mine is doing it, and the employees are all cool. Just have to wait a half hour after I get out of work, and life will be good.

I haven't been this excited about Pokémon since Red and Blue.

Yeah, same warehouse as mine! I'm near Ottawa and usually they get stuff here overnight so I'm not mega-worried. It's more of a principle thing re: paying for Prime

Until they let me carry over digital purchase licenses across console generations that poo poo's for suckers. I'll buy the occasional virtual console game or digital only game but Nintendo games hold resell value really well and make me feel nostalgic seeing a stack of them on my shelf.

I've had to gently caress around with my 3DS to fix the wifi card every few months since before ORAS came out. I'm too cheap to buy a new one, but I'm not risking losing all my games because of that.

For Pokémon specifically, I was locked out of my main Y save because I decided to make a new save on a different SD card for a nuzlocke. Couldn't even open the save in Pokémon Bank.

That sucks dude. I usually have a great experience with Amazon shipping but I chalk that up to the fact that I live near a huge UPS hub.

also this - I didn't know the game would pre-load, so I figured it would try to download the entire game from the e-shop on release day.

Well, I lost hundreds of my pokemon spanning back to GBA days because of digital pokemon bank storage. Also, Nintendo is terrible about digital purchases. Buying it ties it to a device for gently caress's sake. It's not like I can buy a license from them for the game wherever forever.

edit: Also, why has no one who played the leaksed version mentioned that the game starts off with music from Survivor?

I need some basic questions answered because I've been avoiding this thread since the dex leak but I still want to plan my team out ahead of time. Are spoilers the norm? Anyway:

Which abilities do the following Pokemon have:

Ship Anchor
Purple Thorny Muppet Thing
Ice Virus Spider

or whichever ability you think I should look for.

Also I think I accidentally stumbled upon a screenshot from the game (but it might be from X and Y cause I forget those) but are Calem/Serena and Lysandre in this game? Simple yes or no with no spoilers.


Thanks. See y'all around.

I buy digital because I'm lazy, have nowhere to store physical games, and I assume that if I ever want to play an old game it'll be far enough down the road where someone will have made proper emulation for it anyway

In spoilers?


Ship Anchor- Only one ability, give it STAB with Steel type moves. Its a Grass/ghost type :v:

Purple Thorny Muppet Thing- Has Regenerator and an ability that makes it always crit if the opponent is poisoned

Ice Virus Spider- Has bubble armor which lowers fire damage and prevents burn. Also Doubles the power of water moves which isn't mentioned and makes it insanely good.

So for people who get it today via delivery if their copy shipped yesterday would you risk getting banned if you went online today as opposed to tomorrow when it "officially" releases? Thinking about just turning off the WiFi and playing it offline until tomorrow if my copy does happen to come today.

I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.

Oh I hope it's EST. I don't want to wait for 3am for it to unlock if it's stupid PST.

Called them to bitch about it, they changed it to One-Day Shipping.
Which means it'll get here on monday, because for whatever loving reason, they decided to use a mail carrier that doesn't run on weekends.
