Yeah. The events currently distributed over Wi-Fi might become SpotPass events, but in-store events will stay - Nintendo must be being paid a fair amount of money by GameStop and other chains to get customers into their shops. Unfortunately for us.

I wonder if they will use StreetPass for the local wireless gifts though. Probably not, that could be kind of annoying potentially.

Just saw this on Twitter, it seems GAME continues with cool pre-order bonuses for Nintendo games:

A bit jealous, I have to say.

Pssh, they can only hold 3 games? And they're small too so they can get lost! I'll stick to my generic 3DS game case that can hold 6 of them.

/rationalization at the fact that I can't get them

Hello everyone! How are you today?

My new episode is up and this is a tense one!
The Gauntlet.


Also, I just want to thank all of you for all of your support! It really has been fun making these videos for the community and I'm glad I provide, at least to a few of you, some entertainment. I have 116 subscribers now, which is more than I thought I would reach to be quite honest and it's all thanks to you guys!

I have been thinking about upping the videos I put out a week to 3, would you guys prefer a MWF release schedule?

Edit: If you want to receive more updates you can follow me here: https://www.facebook.com/TheAggrotek and here https://twitter.com/TheAggrotek!

Finally.

I've been lurking the PokeCommunity thread for the longest, and just barely got my account verified.

Just a shoutout, I'll post my Friend Code later and try to add you guys. Looking forward to battling/trading all you folks in a couple months.

And do any of you play Pkmn Showdown? I got caught in the vortex this weekend and played so many matches in between watching the VxG stream.

Welcome. Initiation question time: what's your favourite Pokémon and why?

I dabble in Showdown with my friends, but I'm not as super-hardcore competitive as I used to be. I'd battle anyone here who asked me, though.

Arcanine has been my favorite Poke since Gen 1. I always liked his and Growlithe's design and he's a dog. Dogs are the best. He's never left my team and now that he actually has tools to fight, I love him even more.

Arcanine's one of my favorite Pokemon, too!

Hopefully, Litleo turns into a giant, majestic Lion/Manticore fire beast thing with high Special Attack. He'd be a nice addition to a mono-fire team.

On a random note, I've only caught all of 'em once, in my Gen 2 Silver. Ever since then, I've basically given up on catching 'em all and have just trained the ones I like the most. I want to try again in X/Y though, as long as it lets me. Once it gets announced that transfers work through generations, then I'll go back to the older games and go on a catching spree.

If it does indeed become a manticore, it'll most likely be Fire/Poison (which I think has never been done before) to honour the legend. I just really hope it has a lion's face as opposed to an ugly human's and an awesome flaming mane.

You should check out the IRC channel too, when you can!

Fire/Poison would be pretty interesting, since it would be completely unique, even with the x4 weakness to Earthquake. I really hope it evolves well. I'm a little disappointed in Pangoro after seeing Pancham, tbh.

Thanks! Already did. Seems chill. Glad to be a part of the best community haha.
 
I sense everyone's eyes are burning with interest.

As an aside, there's a fun "leak" thread in the other place - will wait and see if anything comes of it.

Here's your final PokeGAF Test, Quest1: is Flareon cool, or awful?

Order of Eeveelutions from greatest to least.

Jolteon, Umbreon, Espeon, Vaporeon, Leafeon, Flareon, Sylveon, Glaceon.

Jolteon has been a team staple since Gen 1. Flareon just needs to learn some moves (Flare Blitz and Superpower for the hell of it) and they need to bring back the more fire based art for it. Sylveon is only above Glaceon because its new.

Edit: 3DS Friend Code: 3024 5265 5661
Adds!

Flareon already learns Superpower., actually.

Oh yeah, I have a feeling there's one evolution for Fletchling. Either before or after Talonflame. Malamar and Pangoro used "the" when referring to them as opposed to "an" for Talonflame.

1. Espeon
2. Umbreon
3. Vaporeon
