About the GameStop shenanigans: get me the store location, and I will call them out, and email corporate. That's a good way to damage relations with Nintendo, and GS Corporate will not stand for shit like that. Also, I'll probably hijack a handful of the codes we aren't going to be able to give away (we got something like 200, and have given away about 6 so far,) and distribute them amongst Bay12, because I'm cool like that. Of course, I have to clear it with the boss, but I get the distinct impression that he just wants them gone.

I still need to actually visit the store and attempt to score a code, which I won't be able to do until Sunday. I was planning to do it today, but...

Hopefully your intervention will not be required :<

I need to go around that way sometime this weekend, I'll probably try to get the poke.  If they turn me away I may very well take you up on that offer.

Do we know how long this promo is for?

It's until almost the end of September. I mean, while supplies last, obviously.

Does anyone know if these codes are region-locked?

I'm up in Canadaland so no Gamestop access. If I got one, though, the Gamestop codes should work on any NA system, right?

My sister's got a Japanese 3DS and game, so I'm assuming she's SOL.

[MaximumZero]

It should, but I can't guarantee that. I would try going into an EBGames and seeing if they have any codes.

I can confirm that Australia had different pokemon and EB gave away Mega-evolution codes for Magmar and Electabuzz back in May.

[DeKaFu]

Apparently the official word is that EBgames isn't getting any.

It looks like in Canada, you'll be able to sign up for the trainer club newsletter and theoretically get a code by email sometime in September.

...I would've much preferred to just drive to a store. I hate signing up for spamletters.

[MaximumZero]

Laaaaame.

You can message Nintendo directly and say that Gamestop wouldn't give you a code. By all accounts they will give you a code via email.

By the way, I found this on Reddit:

I'd ask if that is Draco Meteor... but there are 5 other moves that thing could be.

Ohh Pokémon.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Because I too saw it on reddit and the fact that it is a specific event from the finals of the Pokemon World Tournament I can say for certain it is Draco Meteor

That's brilliant. Watching Pachi shrug off that Draco Meteor then use its berry to heal back up to green was fantastic.

It was pretty awesome. I really liked his team comp too. It had so much synergy compared to the US guy's. Like the telepathy Gardevoir so it could avoid earthquake.

I can't really judge the US guy's team though. Aren't you forced to use the same team the whole way through? I'm sure it did well against the other players. It was just really bad against this one.

Good news! MaximumZero will not be required to facepunch the local GameStop employees. I acquired the code to pick up my Heracross+megastone, and went ahead and pre-ordered OR anyway.

Here's another ridiculous 1v6 sweep. This time with Linoone: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/randombattle-156233271

Huzzah! I think. I'm never sure what to think when people don't need to be punched.

Anyway, I managed to get a couple of the codes. If you were rebuffed at a GameStop, PM me with the location of the store you were turned away at, and I'll see if I can't get you a code. I didn't get a ton of them, and I have to write down which stores are turning people away (condition of my getting the codes in the first place,) so they're only for people with a legitimate grievance that I can fix. We got a lot fewer codes than I thought we did in general, but the boss was still kind enough to let me swipe a couple for you guys. Anyway, if you've run into the issue of "needing a preorder" or some other nonsense to get the Mega Evolution code, shoot me a PM with details and I'll see if I can get it squared away.
