I got a beta code in my email today.

[Roloc]

Lucky you. I still haven't received the email yet.

[BlazingNinetails]

Sending codes for hand picked beta testers i guess?
If not whats the codes for.

[Yume Tsuki]

I went to my local gamestore the other day. And they asked me if I came for the beta code. But I didn't have my 3ds with me that day.

[Roloc]

I got mine on the 21st but miss never got the email at all.

[BlazingNinetails]

Anything new going on with the game before it comes out?

[Jerry]

Not really related to ORAS, but is anyone going to a store in Europe to get the event code for Diancie?

I'm stuck here with no way to get it

[silverdragon016]

So I know they have mega evolution put into the game but can you get Pokemon from diamond and pearl as well ? Or is it just Pokemon specific to the region and the older versions ?

[Jerry]

I'm sure you'll be able to get a mix of Pokemon from various regions. Like they had the Mega Audino release so I doubt it won't be in the game if it can't be caught or obtained somehow, and same for the other generation Pokemon.

[BlazingNinetails]

I mainly use the transfer if i don't have a pokemon that i can't get at all.

[Yume Tsuki]

To import from Pokémon DS versions they first need to be transferred to Black/White and then you need to buy a year subscription for the Pokébank to be able to use the transfer system to import to your 3ds file.


Regarding the Diancie event. I attempted to get a code at the two stores that have it. One of them would only give it to me if I actually bought Pokémon X or Y OR preodered OR/AS at their store. Well, you pretty much know my answer to that. It's abuse of events which are supposed to be free for everyone.
The other store ordered the vouchers three months ago but never received anything and therefore couldn't give me a voucher with the code.

Gonna try some other stores some other time I guess... Though I call bullpoop on this event. :/

[BlazingNinetails]

That sucks thought the transfer system would still be free.

[Jerry]

Ouch, I didn't know those salesmen were that way =/ I hope you find some friendlier salesmen Yuki.

And yea, the transfer system... I'll need to get some copies of HGSS, BW and BW2 to be able to use it first, seeing as I had to use ROMs in the past as they don't sell those here

[Yume Tsuki]

Managers of shops here attempt to get a certain 'quota' they have to reach every day. Because they get paid based on how much money their store makes a day. They know they gain nothing from 'giving away event vouchers' So stuff like that is usually something that happens in a few stores that are part of a larger business, but not all of them, it depends on the manager in charge.
