I remember getting the Eon Ticket in the original games.

My friend was a subscriber to Nintendo Power, and they gave out a physical card that could unlock it if you had an e-reader (Remember those?). You could then mix records with another person to give it to them, but that second person couldn't then mix with another person to give it away. You could only get it from mixing with someone who got the "real" ticket or some such nonsense.

So yes. Thank you Nintendo for doing something beneficial to loners for once.

What I read. I was saddened but I agreed.

I may be crazy, but did the fight with Latios/Latias use the original R/S wild encounter theme?

Yeah, you're crazy, it uses the regular remastered theme

Aw. Now I'm sad.
It had been a little while since I played, so I guess I forgot what the music sounded like.


So here is something I miss: Gen. IV style events. You don't just get given the super rare Pokemon, you get the item and then you activate the sidequest. You make the magic land bridge appear for Shaymin, you use the power of Arceus to hatch a new Giratina or whatever, you help the kid with his nightmares - they were all fun and had some sense of achievement involved. The only one they have done since then even sort of close was the Victini one in B/W.

I guess I understand that it makes it difficult to identify hacked vs. legit if you can get them without the special ball and ribbons, but still.

It's such a shame. Personally, I think that the mixed events that consisted of a Pokemon that unlocked other catchables (Basically Platinum's Regigigas event and the Sinjoh Ruins Arceus) would have been the best balance between accessibility (the reason they're all direct downloads now) and that sense of achievement. I remember doing the Victini event when it came out and it was great (although I think it had a heightened catch rate because of how early-game it was).

Japan is getting an Arceus event with a 1/19 chance of it being shiny for the downloader to coincide with the newest movie coming out.

Here's the tweet from serebii.

-sigh- I wish we got more of these legendary events.

If it's for the movie, we probably will get the event when the movie is localized. Maybe. Doesn't hurt to hope?

Decided to do some dexnav shiny hunting again about two days ago. Went for Ralts on route 102. Got about 80 in and broke the chain. Next chain was in the 200...then I accidentally broke the chain when I used the Eon Flute. Decided to give it one more go and got the chain to around 100 when it finally showed up.
And here he is.
I'm also glad it's male because I really wanted a Shiny Gallade (it even got shadow sneak), nature sucks though ah well. So glad taught Taunt to my Malamar for this, I would have been heartbroken if it got away.

Never thought I would actually have fun in the Battle Masion in Omega Ruby. I guess choosing Maxie as my partner for the Multi battles was the best idea because our combination actually worked really well. Got 48 BP out of the whole deal too!!

I finally completed my Pokedex in Omega Ruby. And I've also made a Living Pokedex to keep in my Bank, to help make completing future 'dexes easier.

Now I'm gonna try Shiny Hunting for Legendaries; Reshiram is up first.

Pokemon Rumble World confirmed as free to play garbage

It's not like it's a huge important release that defiles the series. Pokemon Shuffle's addictive and not too harsh with the "purchasing upgrades" stuff, then again, Rumble is a meh series so who knows.

Rumble U was incredibly mediocre. If they just take Rumble U and add the new Pokemon and Mega Evolutions like Shuffle did with Battle Trozei, it's definitely not going to work.
