In the US it'll be midnight EST, so if you're West Coast, you can grab it at 9 pm.

I'll be late to the game, getting my (physical) cart bright and early Saturday morning. But then again, I probably won't go too far unless I can grab my game guide at the same time. Some people collect stamps. Some people collect heartbreak. I, among many things, collect Pokemon game guides. And then use them. Also, pretty pictures.

Yeah, I'm getting a physical copy too. Can't go without that sweet box to show off.

You go with the fake Mew's Truck instead of the actual 'This pokemon can only be found rarely in four randomized tiles of water' or 'Have a party that starts with a Wailord and ends with a Relincanth to open this rock'?

Until the rumor is confirmed, it's Mew's truck to me :colbert:

On a different tack: if you are planning on picking up the game off the eShop tonight, for the love of god, put money in your account right now. People are going to be flooding not just the download servers but the account servers come midnight to download this thing, and you can take care of step one right now if you don't have $40 ready to go already. Do yourself a favor and get your money in place now, while the stress on the account servers isn't too severe.

Meanwhile, oh my god I need an Abra and a Houndour stat :3: gently caress I am getting Pokemon hype I have not felt this in a decade I just turned thirty what the hell is wrong with me and why am I admitting this on an internet forum.

Is it true that if I have a pokemon out that is going up against a wild pokemon that is a significantly lower level, I can just throw a pokeball out right away to capture it, even if its at full health?

I mean, you can, but it still probably won't work unless it is a quick ball.

So do Japanese players hate everyone on wonder trade or something? I've sent 10 dratini out and every single japanese player has sent Pikachu or Flabebe while every other region seems to send random stuff.

I got a Drapion and an Ariados from Japan earlier today, so I will hear nothing bad said about our brothers and sisters to the (USA's) west.

When the trainers message came up as "Modest Froakies!", I knew that today was gonna be a good day. And thanks to Shauna trading a Chespin, I now have all three starters, which brings me to my next question; where can I find a ditto so I can start spreading the wonder trade love?

Polka Balls has a Voltorb, and Starters has something going on in the yellow square above the Pokemon button that I haven't been able to decipher (the rest are the three starters making various expressions).

Is it supposed to be Froakie's beard? That's my best guess.

Do you guys suggest anything in particular to use my master ball on? Besides the tiny rear end chance I run into a shiny?

Mewtwo has a catch rate of three as do the legendary birds and Zygarde (most likely). I would think one of those would be best, I chose Mewtwo because that's what I did Gen 1.

Are Fairy types good for much? I was never impressed with Clefable/Wigglytuff/whatever in the previous games, and I haven't played enough of the new one to know how they really fit in with everything else now.

Gardevoir is a loving house now. Klefki isn't bad either, but that's fully because of Prankster.
