Topic: Pokemon Generation VI: X/Y & Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire

[Protoman Blues]

Oh yeah, I still have to grab Pinsir's Mega Stone

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah I did that on Saturday, luckily they just give you cards now instead of having you have to download it directly at the store.

[Reaperoid]

If your local store gives them out for free, that is. Some were giving them out only after an ORAS pre-order.

[Sakura Leic]

Well that's stupid.

[Sakura Leic]

So another event in Japan that is most likely not coming here lets them get a Shiny Gengar to to celebrate Halloween.

[Protoman Blues]

I'm hoping Nintendo World gets those Primal Groudon & Kyogre figures

[Sakura Leic]

I'm sure we'll get those like everyone else.

[Protoman Blues]

Yeah, most likely!

[Quickman]

C'moooooooooooooooon Shiny Gengar!  I want to celebrate Halloween with a Shiny Gengar!  I also want to do so without breeding the hell out of my Japanese Gastly.

Oh, and Hot Topic has Eeveelution plushies.

[ViperAcidZX]

Looks like Europe is getting Steelbook versions of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, plus a pre-order bonus.

And what about US?

[Reaperoid]

Getting the figurines here, but not the steelbooks. Time to flip tables.

Oh, and Hot Topic has Eeveelution plushies.

Oh, hell, I just remembered I ordered a Mega Ampharos plush. I wonder where it is...

Steelbooks suck.

I mean, kind of neat for a cart based game. But for discs they're like a [tornado fang]ing nightmare. Besides, they're not even that good looking.

[Quickman]

I don't even know what a steelbook is.

[ViperAcidZX]

I don't even know what a steelbook is.

A fancy metal case instead of the usual plastic ones. Like so.

[Quickman]

Oh.  While pretty on a shelf and durable, for travel, that'd be setting off metal detectors right and left.

"We need to do a cavity search.  Please place both hands against the wall and try to relax..."

"I swear to god it's just Pokemon!"

[Police Girl]

A fancy metal case instead of the usual plastic ones. Like so.

Yeah, that thing's real fun to get a disc out of.

I felt like the damn thing was gonna snap every time.

[Hypershell]

I did like that for Metroid Prime Trilogy, but for a handheld, I think that would be irrelevant.  Who brings a case that size for one handheld game, anyway?

[Amatiramisu]

Wouldn't the steelbook case for a 3DS game be the same size as other 3DS boxes?

[Sakura Leic]

It is, that said I'm not getting it since I agree with Clef on them not looking too good and it would clash with the other cases on my shelf.

No new stuff really other than some scenes and a curious part of the player sneaking up on a Pikachu tail in the grass.  Also Shiny Beldum event runs from Nov 21st to Jan 14th.

Still no announcement about the figures coming out here but it's only a matter of time until they do.

[Sakura Leic]

We got some Gamestop events in North America coming up.

The first is surprisingly the Shiny Gengar we were talking about a little while ago which will be distributed from October 13th to the 26th. It comes with a Gengarite

The next is a Diancie from October 27th to November 16th. It comes with a Normal gem but if you trade it to Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire you'll get her Mega Stone too.

[Quickman]

Ohboyohboyohboyohboyohboyohboyohboy

Can't wait!

Must get shiny Gengar!  Must get second Diancie!

[Sakura Leic]

I might offer the first for a Keldeo or Meloetta, I forgot to ask Ruri if he had extra of those.

[Quickman]

Yeah, I'm tempted to do the same, but for something else.  Not sure what, though.

[Sakura Leic]

Beats me, I would go for an event legendary myself it has as the same stat values as other base 600 legendaries like Mew, Celebi, Jirachi and ect so I would like something of equal value or Keldeo.
