It's actually pretty great, the one you get from Mystery Gift is dependent on the one you can't get from wormholes in your version. So pretty much giving you the exclusives from the other game.

Anxiety of having to go to a store and ask for Pokémon codes is awkward

It means Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, as well as the spin-off titles such as Pokémon Go.

my problem is when the store dude shits on you, by saying "only 1 code per customer" even if you several game versions while some minutes ago you seen a customer grabbing like 10 of them because the store dude liked the guy

Welp, gotta change the hat!
Sorry Luigi...

One, you are late. Two, it's not "and", it's "or", you can get ONLY ONE of each pair!

Nice, try to do what I always do during these events; get extra Gamestop codes for people who don't have a Gamestop nearby.

Man, still need to Ultra Moon yet...

It's ok, just don't like it being confusing, besides the "and" part, it's a pretty good post!

PS: For anyone who can get a code, dump the mystery gift if you have CFW so everyone can inject the wonder card in their game if they can't get their hands on a code!

Basically this is a shiny Zygarde and a whole bunch of Pokémon that have been special until they got thrown at you in every endgame.

The actually rare Legendaries like Mew, Celebi and Arceus haven't even been mentioned in the announcement.
