Gotta Catch 'Em All! - Pokémon Thread

Do not bully her, she is trying her best.

No but in all seriousness, this is now my most anticipated game. Cozy Dragon Quest Builder like game in a setting I'm actually invested in? Yes, please.

Plus I'm a sucker for WEIRD.

 

[MEDdMI]

Yeah, I'm def getting that one, too. I loved ACNH and Dragon Quest Builders, and this looks like a good mix (never got into Minecraft w/ the characters being blocks, too).

We did it! With over 3 MILLION Shiny Chi-Yu defeated, all four shiny Treasures of Ruin are now available for download over the internet! Go get that Cobalt Carp!

All these Shinies expire on September 30, so remember to go get yours now. Along with so many Tera Shards.

Well, today was supposed to be the day that Gamestop was going to have codes for the shiny Cover Legendaries for Scarlet and Violet. I went to two Gamestop locations...and neither of them had the codes.

I bought a Switch 2 and preordered the next Pokémon game, but still, this is annoying as all get out. And worse, my experience doesn't appear to be an isolated case.

 

[ZakuConvoy]

Yeah, it's always kind of a toss up if your local stores will get them in when they're supposed to. This is why I wish it was just a universal code, instead of a store exclusive one. I thought these days of Gamestop-exclusive codes may have been behind us. But, I guess not.

I haven't even tried my local stores yet. Probably next week. This is supposed to go until October 15. So, hopefully, they start shipping the codes to local stores soon.

Looks like the scalpers are out in full force.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

The codes are already up on eBay.

Scalpers should be scalped.

So...

Go to Google, search for any Gen 1 pokemon. Tap Pokeball. Fall down rabbithole.

Scalpers should have this happen to them.

Yep, they never learned their lesson from the Happy Meal fiasco back in Japan.

We went to our local Gamestop. They're already out of codes- Apparently the latest Pokemon TCG expansion released yesterday. The guy working there said they had people lined around the building, and even some who were waiting at 8pm at night. They might get more later, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
