Well, i've been waiting for like 14 hours now, no code. If anyone comes across a spare, I'd love one.

Out of curiosity, is there any people with Yahoo emails/on the east coast who haven't gotten their codes yet? I wonder if my theory is right that maybe it's based on email address hosts.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Still no codes

I'm on east coast. Got mine like 7 hours ago. Used gmail.

 

[lupinko]

Do you get anything bonus for playing through the demo multiple times?

Various items and Mega Steelix (Japan) / Mega Glalie (rest of the world)

 

[fredrancour]

just noticed that my demo code email is labelled as being sent at 10 am but didn't actually show up in my email until about 11 hours after that.

Impressions:

Spoiler

I am already sick of hearing what a special snowflake my trainer is, and am now dreaming of a pokemon game with as little npc interaction as possible.

Spoiler

The game content was not actually interesting at all, and basically a glorified trailer.

 

[ohlawd]

k I'm done

ends after the 5th run. I'm on my 8th and all that's happening is new face on Mossdeep thing.

 

[RadioJoNES64]

Wow just got it. Nice.

 

[Muku]

k I'm done

ends after the 5th run. I'm on my 8th and all that's happening is new race on Mossdeep thing.

Does it? I finished like #7 then got bored. And even then it was a repeat of something I'd already done.

I see Japan got the superior Pokemon. Glalie is bleh.

I think it may be 10 times. I got an new item at the end of the tenth and he stops counting after the tenth time.

 

[MatthewB92]

Got bored after the 3rd play through.

yeah.

after the 5th or 6th, it mentions something like you can still adventure or whatever. sounds like that's the end of unlocking new things like getting extra Pokeballs to transfer.

oh, goes up to 10? hold up, lemme get to that.

 

[Illucio]

BLEH, i feel like I'm wasting my time on this..... Only up to 10 for heart scales, and then nothing? Pointless demo.

 

[ohlawd]

I think it may be 10 times. I got an new item at the end of the tenth and he stops counting after the tenth time.

and you're right. more heart scales on the 10th

this should be the end since he ain't counting no more.

 

[Thorn]

Got a spare demo code for the first person to quote me.

 

[darthbob]

Since Mega Steelix is obtainable in the demo for Japan only does this mean that his Mega stone is only obtainable by playing the Japanese demo?

Yo

 

[jimmytutron]

Don't give up hope guys! I just got the email and it's almost 9PM PST.

 

[Canon]

I got mine. Time stamp is 11:00 am, so somehow it's just now appearing.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I got an extra code but all the email say is coupon.. like wtf

 

[Hip Hop]

holy shit!

I got a code!
And I just signed up to the site for the first time 6 days ago.

 

[shykyoichi]

I got an extra code but all the email say is coupon.. like wtf

Can I have your extra code?

 

[FleetingFlowAir]

Apparently got the email 11:26 PM EST with the code. There is still hope, guys.

 

[Owari]

Meh. Is there a different thread fer the actual demo discussion?

 

[ohlawd]

Meh. Is there a different thread fer the actual demo discussion?

this thread is the OT for code begging and game discussion

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Can I have your extra code?

I cant get it out like i dont know the numbers it literally just say coupon

 

[Zeyphersan]

Got my code, playing the demo

So disappointed that the main character no longer has white hair, it's a hat. I don't want it to be a hat

and for people who think I'm kidding, I'm not. I loved Brendan's white hair. Making it a hat fucking sucks

 

[Muku]

Speaking of the characters, is that a turtle backpack Orlando has on?

 

[ShadowElliot]

It was always a hat.

[Kinsei]

I have to ask, was May's name changed too? Seriously, why the hell is Brendan now Orlando?

That first one ain't no hat

 

[darthbob]

That first one ain't no hat

Except it's a hat.

 

[The12thGripper]

Does anyone know what triggers the secret mission?

That first one ain't no hat

You can see his brown hair in the Emerald art.

 

[PAULINK]

Well, playing this has helped me realize that I no longer enjoy playing pokemon , which is a shame because emerald was really good.

 

[crabhammer]

Does anyone know what triggers the secret mission

Secret mission? Tell me more!

I'm on the seventh play through and I thought ten was the end.

 

[Elija2]

Meh. Is there a different thread fer the actual demo discussion?

Not much to discuss to be honest.

 

[zanechua]

I'm still waiting for my code. I wonder if they go by alphanumerical. :/

 

[Muku]

Did you try X/Y? I'd say it's difficult to go on the demo alone. It was rather boring.

 

[Mr Buddy]

I have to ask, was May's name changed too? Seriously, why the hell is Brendan now Orlando?

Mays name is supposedly Anna, but I think that it's just their pre release names. For instance, in pokemon x and y, Calem and Serena were "Xavier and Yvonne" before release. Also Hilbert and Hilda (ugh) in Black and White were "Blair and Whitlea"

 

[lupinko]

Lol wtf, Whitlea is a name?

I just googled it and it is.

Dunno why they couldn't just go with Whitney, Wendy, Wanda, etc...

Well, playing this has helped me realize that I no longer enjoy playing pokemon , which is a shame because emerald was really good.

The demos are just glorified DLC distributions.

 

[Nintendo Playstation]

Guys, it's simple.

Kalos = France
Hoenn = Florida

 

[PAULINK]

Got to the 7th gym before just stopping and every time I tried to pick it up, couldn't really force myself to play.

I thought this remake would re-spark my interest but no success.

I actually named my guy Xavier in Pokemon X. I didn't know that was his pre-release name, I just wanted something starting with an X

 

[Muku]

Pretty sure Hoenn was Kyushu.

If you're only playing for story, then I can understand why. It's pretty awful. Had the couldn't force myself to play deal with Ruby originally. Any particular issue you're having with X/Y or even the demo?

 

[Hip Hop]

Pretty boring demo, everything in the city is locked and just get to battle a few times.

I guess it's expected.

I remember playing the demo during New York Comic Con 2013, it sparked my interest in the game. But as I continued playing the full game, it wasn't as great as I thought it would be. I remember forcing myself to go through the final part of the game, especially the Elite Four. The music was great though, one reason to keep me going.

I love Hoenn, and hopefully the remake doesn't remove anything I love about it.

 

[lupinko]

Pretty sure Hoenn was Kyushu.

He was likely referring to "Orlando".

 

[PreyingShark]

*sigh* No code, even though I made sure to do what was necessary... Oh well, I'll just wait for Puzzle Challenge if it doesn't come tomorrow.

 

[PAULINK]

Nah, I don't play for the story, in fact I haven't taken it seriously since R/S/E days. I don't play against other people so pokemon for me is just grinding through the things they offer in the single player content. Playing through the demo has reminded me of how bored I am with battles now, and mega stones don't really do anything for me.

I suppose this has been a long time coming, I've been feeling like this since pokemon diamond (HG and SS really resparked my interest though). It's just hard to let go of a franchise you've been a fan of since the beginning.

 

[Canon]

Graphics are better than XY, at least. But frame rate is a pile of crap.
