I just bought Omega Ruby from Walmart for $3 :toot:

Walmart.com uses third party sellers like Amazon does, so there’s a good chance it could be a bootleg.

I got it in store and it's in a case and the case is wrapped in plastic. Do bootleggers sell'em like that? I thought they usually only sell the carts.

Put in your zipcode then as soon as you confirm the game is in stock for $3 stop thinking and go buy it.

Back when Pokemon Platinum came out, a friend of mine bought a bootleg off of ebay that had a case. The case was horribly misshapen, and didn't even have the same dimensions as a DS game. It was clear, and had glitter mixed in the plastic. And the cover art was just a .jpg wrapped around the box.

The point of the story is that you probably got a legit one.

I'm pretty sure Walmart would be very interested in not having bootleg Nintendo games on the shelf of their retail stores.

Had there ever been a big deal on Pokémon’s grass mechanic? Compared to most jrpgs with random encounters, a mechanic that lets you choose when to have encounters seems really innovative at the time.

Edit: Omg!! This first episode is goddamn adorable! Pikachu’s a feisty little bastard and Ash sounds like Gohan.

Another edit: huh...meowth sounds like cartoon Joe Pesci.

Team Skull are my fuckin' boys. They're adorably low stakes and my boy Guzma is trying to get a good thing together: get free public transit to his people way out in the back of beyond, make sure the working class bus driver gets breaks, shatter the kahuna hegemony, and the just goes on.

My ultra moon run through I played someone who washed out of team Skull. Dressed like them, used only their Pokemon, and tried to say all of my responses as one of them.

Just tried this and it is definitely not working. Looked up zip, verified it was in stock and $3, went to the indicated store. They have it but no sale is indicated anywhere and it rings up for full price. Won't price match the brickseek link.

It's a third party site for stock checking so the store can decide otherwise.

I'm p sure someone going "Did you see this on the Walmart site? We only price match the Walmart website." isn't a rules violation.

I'd be interested to hear if any other goons have success because a website that won't be honored, isn't accurate, and can't be discussed seems to have really dubious actual utility. :shrug: Appreciate the thought, though.

Speaking of Bank, is there any word on how or if they're planning to shift everything over from the 3DS to the Switch? I think there's an option to link your 3DS account to your Switch account, though whether that actually will allow for transferal I have no clue.

We don't know absolutely anything about how previous generations will interact with the Switch. It's heavily unlikely they won't, Bank will definitely have some way to connect, but we don't know how.

For the DS you'd have to dump the ROM and put them on a flash cart if you wanted your save and everything otherwise you can just :files: the ROM. For 3ds yeah you should be able to use godmode9 or whatever to dump your carts to cia's and install them without need for extra hardware. There's a Homebrew thread around which would be best to ask.

Assuming poke bank will be compatible with the upcoming Switch title, I'd like to migrate all the poo poo I have from my previous games but all I have is an real old DS Lite. Is the 2DS the way to go as a cheap buy so I can get myself setup with poke bank and move my mons? I have stuff in Diamond/Platinum/Soul Silver and White so I'm hoping those are compatible to grab poo poo from with minimal effort. I don't have any real interest in the console itself, I just want to move my stuff and no one I know has one I could borrow.

Might wanna look at your local FB Marketplace. I've seen "new" 3ds XLs for $50 locally. But if you're just getting a new one yeah the 2DS is probably the cheapest.

Wonder with the 3ds near the end of its life if those Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow cards are gonna go on clearance for stupid cheap.

It makes me sad whenever I realize that they're not going to be in the next game. And Guzma will never be important again. They were so good, I almost wish they'd get an encore performance. I want more! I can't imagine how they could possibly top Team Skull in the next game. There's no way a new team could be as funny or have as much heart. I wonder what they will do?

Well, it's the first time in history a mainline Pokemon game that isn't a blatant nostalgia-driven cashgrab is on a home console with all the power that brings. I'd be more shocked if it didn't look very different from all that came before.

That said I don't believe in any such thing until I see it especially when the leak is from a "credible leaker" with no information on who they are or what their credentials are.

Never say never. Characters coming back in Pokemon isn't that unusual and popularity matters. Hell, we get Looker every game. I'm not ready to give up on my boy, Guzma.

Apparently it's the same dude that leaked something about USUM? can't find a comprehensive post about what's going on, but eh, I believe it. It's nothing too outlandish, just that the trailer is finished and should be coming in the next week. Pokemon Day 2019 has enough going on around it that it makes sense for a trailer to drop.
