Pokémon VG Megathread

[sir dooble]

Why would they do it via codes anyway? I don't really understand the point in there being multiple ways of getting event pokemon anyway (mystery guest via internet seems best choice), but it seems even more silly to make you go to a shop, and then have the shop be capable of running out.

I've only recieved an event pokemon once from a shop, but it was just them connecting their 3DS to my 3DS. Presumably that system can't be limited in any way? Or shouldn't be.

it's marketing, there's a chance people will buy something while they're there to pick up the code

as for why it's codes, it's much easier to just hand someone a card with a code on it than have people lining up to connect to the store's console

I understand the benefit of having them come into the shop. But if it is a code, and a code they can run out of, I am much much less likely to even consider buying a game while I'm there if they don't even have any codes.

I'm just having a whinge though. I'm more annoyed at the fact that I don't have a Game near me at the moment where I can get a Darkrai.

Picking Sun
Choosing master race starter again (grass)

Got darkrai yesterday as well

[sir dooble]

They're perhaps my least favourite starters so far.
I like that we're getting a flying grass type starter though. Although a little disappointed the other two are plain water/fire for their first form.
I'm going to guess though that Litten will become a Fire/Dark type. The design seems too obvious.

And I guess this one is set in the pokemon version of Hawaii?
What with the tropical look, palm trees, and volcanos. Plus, Alola is the name. Presumably just a name to sound like 'Aloha'

[Camera]

The moon legendary is the most disappointing. at least with the starters they have a chance of being better when they evolve
