Gaming Pokemon - to buy or to download

[celentt]

in Australia the game would cost AU$59-69. overpriced.

with EBgames putting a sticker saying that they will price match or sell it for cheaper if you let them rip you off by trading in a few games. They only price match if the store that's selling it for cheaper still has it in stock... why bother?

EBgames australia sucks

Yeah and? That's only 45 euro max. Over here it'll cost 45-50 euro, but I'm getting it. I used to love Blue and Red and always got them, the gameplay is awesome imo.

I'm buying Diamond and downloading Pearl. I'm only doing this because I can't afford both and also because I want the pencil-sized stylus

. Also, it's so my friends don't say anything about me getting every game I want on my FC. Though they haven't said anything yet, I have a feeling they might soon.

 

[NotAgOat]

I'm purchasing it. Theres not really any reason to it, besides the fact its a game worth owning. Theres quite a few "must owns" out there for me.

After dumping hundreds of dollars into their crappy merchandise years ago, I think I'll just be stealing this one.

 

[W hat]

Both, download if it gets dumped early and buy once it's out(like me!)

 

[NonStopInTheMix]

hmm yeah i checked my piggy bank, not enough money to buy it this month for sure x.x do all preorder games come with that free stylus? does anybody know?

 

[strummer12]

dl. I'd rather spend my money on 360 and Wii games.

Download it first (if it comes out before the 22nd), buy the game, then transfer save file onto the real cart.


sorry im a bit new to the scene...

you can actually transfer your .sav file from a flashcart to the legit cartridge? wow never knew that! im still against the super high prices for these games though

Yep, its called Rein, and it works just fine! I've done this for Wario Touched and Mario & Luigi 2.

This is easier (I think) and plus, it dosen't require a slot-2 flash card. Not everybody has one you know.

Convert the save file using Shuny's save converter and convert the R4 file to a Supercard save file. Using Eepinator, back up the save from the converted save to the commercial cart. Don't forget to DLDI patch Eepinator. This is what I plan on doing. I have tried it with Mario Kart DS and it works. (I tested it with a AR save file from GameFAQs, not an R4 file but it will work anyway)

Ah, wasn't aware that Rein didn't work without a slot 2. Thanks for the heads up

They should but I think it might be a limited amount (I heard that this was a case with some preorder bonus games). Anyway, hopefully I do get the stylus with it though because I hate losing my small one >.< .

I went to go pre order this today at EB Games in Canada.
Turns out we don't get the styluses. America only.
But then there was a sign that said we get a free Pokemon carrying case.
But I wanted a stylus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[ChaosBoi]

A carrying case? How does it look?

forget about the stylus and import japanese merchandise

 

[jalaneme]

i am forced to download it as my cat is suddenly ill so i have to pay for her vet treatment

 

[GexX2]

I am forced to download it, as I have no money. But once I get some, I'll totally buy it.

 

[OSW]

Well, i could buy pokemon when it comes out, or save my money and buy a g6 real when it comes out. I think i'll go for the g6 ^^.

until then my ez4 should do fine in playing the rom!

 

[superrob]

I would Download.... but if the WiFi dont work in the rom i would MAYBE buy it.

And i rather would use my money on a Wii

 

[abc2232]

im a real pirate...
unlike some people here.

and the 1st rule of piratism is: dont spend money on anything you can get for free.

correct me if i'm wrong, but that's the 2nd rule of piratism. i believe the first rule is:

yar har fiddle dee dee
if you like to sail the seas
you are a pirate

 

[spas]

1.) Buy the new Pokemon and enjoy hours of endless childlike joy
2.) Invest the price of the cart into further DS cart reverse engineerin

Naa I think I will buy the cart.

But why buy water when its freely flowing!

Its a personality fault with some they can't help it, if its free or costs less they will buy it no guilt either way.

 

[Rangent]

That much? Amazon is saying it will only be $34.00 USD... Euros are higher than USD... wonder why it costs so much in Europe.
