• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

Pokémon Pokemon General

Yeah, NoA/TPCi/Gamestop really screwed the pooch with it. Some stores got maybe like a stack of codes at most while others got codes for days. If you were unlucky you had to call Nintendo Support to try and get one as well. :/ It's so weird because all the other code distributions had gone smoothly before.

Ah holy dang man. :L

Well they DID offer Mew for quite some time over here so maybe that's why they actually had stock for it, or it ain't as popular, I don't know actually. But yeah hope they do better everywhere with the Darkrai ones.

The 1-24th? I went a few times during the event and it was like that. :/ But hopefully Darkrai will be better, I think with Mew they learned their mistake upfront.
 
Heh. The last forum I frequented also had a dedicated Pokemon thread - but what it didn't have was an entire forum section dedicated to Pokemon.

Sup fellas. I come here from the Minecraft Forums, despite the game having a larger fan-base the forum appears to be very inactive compared to this one. So if you don't mind, I'll just be moving myself and my things into this one for now. Anyways, I wasn't aware that there was a problem with the Mew distribution a few months back. When I went there, I managed to get one for both me and my mother.

Still though, I personally don't really care for the serial code distributions as of late. I miss being able to receive an item over Wi-Fi that would allow me to visit a special area in the game where I could catch the event Pokemon myself. Nowadays, it just feels like a chore... having to work out a schedule that would allow you to get to the nearest GameStop ASAP before they run out of cards.

Yeah true I miss that too, also I hate those ribbons things that makes you not being able to trade it around as you want(unless you hack it).

And yeah I guess it depends on store/country though.

It's their solution to work with companies to get people in to buy merch, so I can understand why it exists. I mean they had to replace the local distribution cartridges with something, serial codes just happened to fill the void. I do enjoy the wi-fi events but I forget about those just as easily though.

Yeah I guess. At least they dropped the pre-booking crap to be able to get them...
 
Good news for anyone who lives in Spain.

Pok?mon - Zygarde Distribution
For those of you in Europe, a special gift is now available over the Nintendo Network. This gift gives you the Legendary Pok?mon, Zygarde. This Zygarde matches the event distributed in Japan last year and in Korea earlier this year and doesn't have any special moves. It's not currently known how long this event will run, or if it will be in North America. We'll provide more distribution details as they come so keep checking back
Edit: It's now live in North America


I can confirm it's live in NA, got mine yesterday. Got out this morning & picked up my Darkrai cards from Gamestop.
