This doesn't really mean anything. Automated PR emails are not news.

[facepalm]

 

[NotLiquid]

Plus the shiny versions. 1 out of every 1,000 figurines.

This would cause more customer injuries than Black Friday.

 

[JoeM86]

It'd probably take Nintendo over 10 years to do an amiibo of every single pokemon.

I calculated that, counting all forms and Mega Evolutions but not shinies or Spinda alternate appearances, it would cost the best part of $12,000 to complete a Pokémon set.

 

[TheSlySoul]

My poor wallet

My money is on Pokkén Tournament being the first Pokémon amiibo wave.

That is a good bet. Isn't top 3 Mario, Link, and Pikachu? Each series definitely is getting a line.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

We've yet to find intelligent life in the universe.

How is that any different than people buying amibos?

 

[kittens]

If you don't want to spend money on them then don't buy them. That plan's working great for me.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Oh yeah, they know they have their fans by the balls. Get ready to fight scalpers for limited editions galore.

 

[Kouriozan]

Why stop, it prints money!
Give me a Waluigi/Daisy Amiibos, with Rolf and I'll be happy to spend my money...if it's not out of stock in 5 sec...

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Which is why I put the first 3 waves on ebay the other day. Cant be fucked keeping up.

Almost certain to get Waluigi and Daisy in the next Super Mario Series amiibo

 

[WrenchNinja]

I still don't own any ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[NahaNago]

i gave up on the last four its just too much trouble trying to get a hold of these things.

 

[kewlmyc]

every. single. pokemon.

This would honestly be the most profitable thing they can do and incorporate them in the next 3DS game.

"We encourage our fans not to buy every Pokemon amiibo, but just their favorites!"

 

[Htown]

Plus the shiny versions. 1 out of every 1,000 figurines.

there would be blood in the streets

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Plus the shiny versions. 1 out of every 1,000 figurines.

They already did that with that with the Wii U Pokemon Rumble game. Which I will point out were a lot cheaper than $15. They were also blind bags

Of course nobody remembers those because in America the distribution was roughly one crate for every 12 Gamestop stores and half of the crate was hilariously OP legendary Pokemon meant to go with the download code bundle.

 

[OnionPowder]

That is seriously genius

 

[Javier]

Holy shit. Imagine an amiibo wave with every Spinda variation.

The only Pokemon amiibo I'm buying on pre-order is Mawile (and Mega Mawile if that happens), which is why I'm hoping it's playable in Pokken.

 

[UnObtainium17]

every. single. pokemon.

Welp. All those OG pokemons will be mine if they really do it.

I remember

 

[Tom Nook]

every. single. pokemon.

or animal crossing friends

 

[Effigenius]

My main takeaway from the op is that the plural for Amiibo is Amiibo.

 

[Rezae]

I hit the wall and am burnt out. Pretty sure I'm going to sell my 20-ish figures at this point. I'm a completest, if I can't have them all it'll just bug me, and I can't camp out at a retail location and I am not paying scalper prices for nearly every figure at this point.

Will use the probably $300+ I get from selling for either a PS4 or some more PC upgrade parts.

 

[Living Proof]

This would cause more customer injuries than Black Friday.

What, three or four? Those make the news because they're rather abnormal occurrences.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

I remember

This "Joe" guy really loves Pokémon.

 

[bishoptl]

Lol

For those unaware this is a divorced couple dividing their Beanie Baby collection with a supervising judge.

You're joking.

Please tell me you're joking.

 

[TheChaos0]

Better get that second job.

I was too late.

 

[Vlade]

or animal crossing friends

would buy.

 

[SgtCobra]

Almost certain to get Waluigi and Daisy in the next Super Mario Series amiibo

Yuuusssss

 

[Sephzilla]

Almost certain to get Waluigi and Daisy in the next Super Mario Series amiibo

I will buy a Waluigi day one

 

[Geg]

I hope they at least do all the starter Pokemon or something

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Swimsuit line.

 

[Skiptastic]

Like Funco and Itty Bittys, they grab you with a few then wave after wave. I can't do it anymore!

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

You're joking.

Please tell me you're joking.

Nov 5, 1999, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA: Attorney Frank Totti looks over papers while his client Frances Mountain sorts out Beanie Babies with her ex-husband Harold Mountain in Judge Gerald Hardcastle's Family Courtroom in Las Vegas November 5. The couple, who were divorced four months ago, were ordered to divide up the collection valued at $2,500 to $5000 but were unable to do so by themselves. The collection was ordered spread on the court floor and divided up one by one under the supervision of Family Court Judge Hardcastle.

Yeah...

Hunting for Shiny Amiibo....

Somebody stop Nintendo, they are becoming what we most fear.

 

[-Horizon-]

BRING IT ON

Swimsuit line.

I like the way you think.

 

[bananafactory]

Lol

No way.

I don't - can't - believe that.

 

[nintendork666]

Gimme a Phantump amiibo please.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Dear sir,
Please look at online and retail stores to buy Amiibos if you're having trouble finding them. We will keep making them.
Nintendo

But seriously, what's strange/unusual here? Are more Amiibos bad?

 

[Joni]

That sounds discouraging.

 

[Haunted]

every. single. pokemon.

Launched alongside a Skylanders-style 3D open world adventure RPG made by Retro Studios.

 

[wildfire]

Better get that second job.

But think of how many more lawns the kids will have to cut!

 

[Great Puma]

There are still several waves to go just to complete the Smash collection, not to mention the Mario Party set, so this PR email doesn't really say anything new.

Having said that, I'm really hoping for a small set dedicated to Zelda Wii U. It'd be cool if there were certain optional caves or whatever that are accessed by placing a statue on a platform -- that statue being the amiibo, of course

 

[the1npc]

No way.

I don't - can't - believe that.

people thought they were going to be worth alot of money one day....lol

 

[zeelman]

I can't wait for the reprint of King Dedede and Meta Knight to be cards.

 

[EloquentM]

[Bar81]

Perfect. How dumb this stuff will look in retrospect.

 

[Japanmanx3]

every. single. pokemon.

Ugh...

Everytime I go to the store I'd be like this......and then buy like 6.of them smh.

 

[ChelseaLoveX]

every. single. pokemon.

I think I'd only want to get the first 2-3 generations, but then again, I don't see them making that many amiibo. But anything is possible!
