Reminder: 1 year of Mythic Pokémon events starts tomorrow

Anonymous (User Deleted) · January 31, 2016, 11:15:28 PM

Pokémon's turning frickin' 20 years old this year, so Ninty is giving away Mythic Pokes all year round. If you keep up with these and got Hoopa last year, you'll eventually have collected all of the Mythic Pokémon.

It's a pain to get them, because they're alternating between Wi-Fi/GameStop/GAME/wherever the fuck. But you can get them for XY and ORAS, so it's a pretty good deal. I'm getting both because, uh, greed.

(Mythic is also apparently the official term for these mons, now. Mythic pokes are the rarest legendaries, usually exclusive to special events. If you're looking to complete your Pokédex, these are must-haves!)

First up is Mew at GameStop, starting February 1. The last time Mew was given away was in 2010 for the 10th anniversary of Gold and Silver. It's also pretty much the most famous Pokémon ever that isn't Pikachu or a Kanto starter.

And for ease of reference, here's a stolen US event schedule:

Mew: February 1 - 24, 2016 at GameStop
Celebi: March 1 - 24, 2016 at Nintendo Network
Jirachi: April 1 - 24, 2016 at Nintendo Network
Darkrai: May 1 - 24, 2016 at GameStop
Manaphy: June 1 - 24, 2016 at Nintendo Network
Shaymin: July 1 - 24, 2016 at Nintendo Network
Arceus: August 1 - 24, 2016 at GameStop
Victini: September 1 - 24, 2016 at Nintendo Network
Keldeo: October 1 - 24, 2016 at Nintendo Network
Genesect: November 1 - 24, 2016 at GameStop
Meloetta: December 1 - 24, 2016 at Nintendo Network

Fuck the GameStop ones.

I hate even setting foot there. <_<

Oh well--it's cool that they're doing this.

GameStop is about the only store I regularly go to that I HATE. Getting bombarded with sales pitches every time starts to feel like that damned perfume department scene in Spongebob, and the employees at my outlet don't even like these stupid event cards. >.>

I'm glad for these pokes though, I missed a bunch when I skipped Gen V and early Gen IV.

How do you actually get them from Gamestop? Do you just walk in and ask for a card or do you have to buy it?

It should be free, just ask for one

CK97 · February 09, 2016, 09:53:28 AM

If for some reason any of you can't get one of the Pokemon, I'll get it for you and give it to you. I have them all already.

Just let me know.

I think I still have the shiny Rayquaza for you since you weren't able to get it.

Big Boss · February 09, 2016, 10:00:45 AM

I've been SRing my Soul Silver for about 4 years trying to get a Shiny Rayquay and I have a question

The first time you walk into the room, your character just walks up to Ray automatically. I left the room because I need to go back and prepare, and then I went back there and saved in front of him. Does that affect my chances, or is it only in the actual battle itself that it's determined as shiny?

I never played Soul Silver so I can't help you there.

AFAIK it's determined in the battle in every Pokémon game.

Speaking of that particular Rayquaza in SoulSilver, I can't get it because my brother already transferred his Kyogre out of HeartGold

and since the GTS shut down years ago, my chances of accomplishing that are pretty slim...

There's a bunch of copies at the local game stores, but that would be hit-or-miss because I have no idea what's going to be on them until I play the game and check. And I'm pretty sure it only works with a Kyogre specifically from HG, so I can't just use the one I have in Emerald.

The nuclear option would be asking someone to mail me their cartridge >.>

Oh well yeah, there's that too. My only objection is that I have enough games on my to-do list already >.> and it'll take a while to get that far in the game. But yeah, I should probably get a copy while I can still get one easily.
