I really hate how old Pokémon games cost an arm and a leg, was thinking of picking up some games I don’t have like BW2, SS or even DP.

I thought eBay had them for cheap? I mean, they aren’t new and don’t come with a box, but still...

High chance of getting bootlegs from China.

I had it happen. I bought a combo of emerald and final fantasy iv and they turned out to be fakes that had all kinds of issues (carts didn't fit in the DS slot very well, save gets erased if you play a DS game with them in the gba slot, etc.) It only cost me like $25 so I wasn' really put out, but it did mean I had to buy the games properly again through more reputable channels (eb, amazon)

1) the March Regigigas/Heatran giveaway (I believe the code expires at the end of June)

Could I get that? The newsletter with the code never arrived for me(tons of folks had the same issue).

I also have one extra Entei/Raikou code if anyone needs it.

 

[The Nemesis]

Alright, Retrocity is claiming the Entei/Raikou code and Lockheed gets the Regigigas/Heatran code.

I'll try to send them out tomorrow (Sunday) via PM.

I guess I got lucky, then. I don’t buy from non-U.S. sellers.

 

[JWK]

Yeah, I don't really trust ebay

The seller I bought from indicated it was in Canada in the listing.

And then the package came from Hong Kong.

Thanks!

Do you have a Half Price Books by you? The ones around me tend to get used copies of Pokemon games in. Prices are about average, but at the least should be legit (or could test in store). If you sign up for their e-mails, they send out some pretty good coupons a few times a year including some for 40/50% any item. I snagged a copy of Leaf Green a while back for like $12-$15 with one of those coupons and have been looking for a copy of Heart Gold/Soul Silver.

Pokémon - Oha Suta
Japanese Variety Show, Oha Suta, to share "shocking" Pokémon news on May 31st 2018, which is listed as "a moment a new story begins". This episode is due to air at 07:05 JST on Thursday May 31st 2018. At present it's not clear what the news is but we'll provide full details as they come
Edit @ 10:50: TV Tokyo's website for Oha Suta's episode on Thursday has removed the description of "Shocking Pokémon news" & "a moment a new story begins" and has replaced it with "Full of Pokémon Information"

Why am I expecting them to announce Gen IV coming to Pokémon GO in July or something (and the twitter account of Project Eevee potentially hyping things up lately because Glaceon and Leafeon are Gen IV)

 

[rangerssharks414]

Last chance for the February code...

 

[Retrocity]

Last chance for the February code...

I'll certainly take it if no one else needs, so it doesn't go to waste.

[Kairi Zaide]

oh well

guess my gen iv wishes for pokemon go are ded since masuda tweeted too

 

[syz]

Niantic, Inc.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

New spinoff game announced:



Still more announcements forthcoming.

 

[syz]

F2P, also on mobile.

 

[JWK]

ahahahaha

Now where's the real game?

 

[Lockheed]

Quest? Eh, that's a no for me dawg.

 

[Kairi Zaide]

i mean, could be decent as a mobile game if it's not overfilled with paid thingies and if it's not over complicated

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee is legit:

 

[Lockheed]

Just hope you don't miss out on a lot if you don't play Go.

 

[Kairi Zaide]

yup

nope

 

[syz]

This is such a Nintendo-ass decision.
