Posted April 24, 2013 You jammy git. I can't wait for these to arrive over here so I can spend all my monies on them. I'm a sucker for collectibles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 24, 2013 Oh lookie what came out today! We went to the Pokemon Center after class, and well, you can probably guess what happened. 5 out of 6! NEITHER OF US GOT PIKACHU. Something tells me they're making it the rarest of the base figures to promote buying it at the Pokemon Center to get the punching Pikachu figure. We talked to the nice lady at the Pokemon Center once again (she seems to be in charge of events), and after joking around for a bit about how we don't actually own Wii U's and her asking whether or not this seems to be a thing that there's an interest for overseas, she let me know that the rare seventh figure is actually a differently coloured Pikachu, I think she said the ears were slightly different. I used 2000 yen as my planned maximum, but of course, that would mean I have 5 spares going.. Also, I bought some rare candy, as you do.. A friend has got me a full set, including the secret one! I'm enjoying this game, but it certainly isn't forgiving lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 24, 2013 You lucky bastard! I'm really liking how they've taken the initiative to explain how Rumble U works, as they had a station set up between the gacha machines that had a Wii U ready to play next to the nice event assistant, with 4 of the base figures available for you to try while the event assistant guides you through it. She invited us to play, but we had other stuff to do so couldn't do it. But still, they're playing it safe with this venture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 27, 2013 Well, I got all 649 Pokémon today. Well, that's a lie as I've been getting them all week, but I got the 649th today Great game, a bit shallow but it has difficulty that ranges from ridiculously easy to ridiculously difficult. It then trolled me A level remains unlocked until you have all 649 Pokémon. One would assume that it would be something special, like say a battle against Chespin, Fennekin, Froakie, Sylveon, Xerneas, Yveltal and Newtwo but no. It was a battle against all the Unown -_- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 17, 2013 European release: August 15th Finally! Do we get the little figures over here as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Great! Nice to see that the Wii U now has a decent schedule for August! (now if they could just sort out the black hole of nothingness that is September...) Strange that they didn't mention the NFC toys though. I'm sure we'll get them but it's just a bit weird that they aren't bigging them up yet though. Edit: Ahh, the toys are coming later on.

Posted July 17, 2013 From the press pack and Serebii So the figures are coming. I guess it's just a matter of how they are going to distribute them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 17, 2013 North America is getting all 18 figures, $3.99 each, exclusive to Gamestop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 17, 2013 Got quite a few of these at the Pokemon centre in Japan on Honeymoon. Love the toys but so far not a fan of the game itself. I really got them so I can take them to work and decode them, as we are doing quite a lot of RFID stuff atm. Just need to get and induction loop and we're ready to go. Could probably make some fake ones and see if there are any hidden numbers to unlock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 17, 2013 So you don't know which Pokémon you're getting when purchasing the toys? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 17, 2013 So you don't know which Pokémon you're getting when purchasing the toys? In Japan, no. In America and Europe, we're not sure at this point All the press people said to me was "Each figure will be sold separately and packed in a concealed capsule."

Posted July 18, 2013 It'd be good if they sold the figures kinda like the Skylander sets, where you know what you're getting. But I guess that won't print as much money for Nintendo as buying blindly. Also any ideas on price of the game and the figures? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In Japan, figures are 200Yen but in gachapon machines while the game was 1800 Yen In America, figures are $3.99, while the game is $18. Chances are figures will be £3 here and the game £15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The figures are 200 yen, which is about £1.30, so hopefully they will be about £1.50-£2.00. Edit: What Serebii said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 18, 2013 Cool, that's pretty reasonable I guess. Would still much prefer being able to see what figure I'll be chucking my £3 on though :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 6, 2013 For some inexplicable reason, the European site is lacking NFC details. As such, it makes me think we're not getting them, since the game is out next week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 7, 2013 They should at least make the NFC figures a Club Nintendo reward like those Kid Icarus cards, but then I guess that would actually make Club Nintendo relevant... I'd be very surprised if they do skip bringing those figures to the West, I doubt they would have trouble getting stores to stock Pokemon related items, not to mention it would be a profitable venture.

Posted August 7, 2013 So I take it the codes that were announced on the ND are the replacements for the toys? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
