Pokémon 20th Anniversary! [Genesect]

Postby Silver » 01/31/2016 9:08 PM

I know a lot of us here on Evelon play Pokémon, so I thought I'd create a thread here about all of the stuff happening this year!

For those of you who don't know, this year is the 20th Anniversary of Pokémon. In celebration, they're giving out events for almost every Event Pokémon!

The Mythical Pokémon are split between Wi-Fi events you can download, and ones you must get a code for. To get a code, you just have to go into a Gamestop (EB Games in Canada/Australia) and ask for one. You don't need to buy anything.

They're also re-releasing Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow as Virtual Console games on Feb 27th. They're true ports of the originals. (You'll even be able to trade wirelessly with your friends!) Oh, and there's a special edition 3DS too. Along with a ton of other toys, plushies, and other merch.

Current Events

Aah, I was so excited when they announced this! The bf and I are behind (we don't have Alpha- and Omega- yet), but we're still pretty geeked for the code giveaways. I've been spreading the word among the sibs and friends that play, and Mew is easily one folks seem most eager to get their hands on.

Ooooh! Thanks for telling us, Silver, I wouldn't have known!!

And honestly I'm like, really betting that they'll announce Pokemon Go during the superbowl. It happens in February, which I'm pretty sure is close to the 20th anniversary, and we know Pokemon got a slot for a commercial. Here's hoping!



But there will come a time
You'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart
But dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see
What you find there
With grace in your heart
And flowers in your hair

Of course! Spread the word. Everyone needs more Mew!

Here's the Superbowl ad! It cuts off pretty abruptly at the end, so it definitely seems like there's gonna be more when it actually airs. It really looks like it's for Pokémon Go, doesn't it?

I personally am not that excited about Pokémon Go. I don't really know why. I just don't have strong feelings about it in either direction, I suppose.

WOAHJFHG THANKS FRIEND OMG--

AhhhhHHH golly idk I'm REALLY excited about pokemon go because I just love augmented reality stuff and this is the kind of thing I always dreamed of as a kid. Finding pokemon in my back yard and stuff lolol it's gonna be cute, I bet. Even if it isn't "HOMG SO AMAZING" I feel like it'll be really cool.

I'm pretty pumped for the distributions of all the Mythics! Gonna fill my Y version up with aaaaall dem goodies.

Man, Pokemon's turning 20. I feel OOOOLD. I still have some original-run Pokemon toys in my room, and I bought an Amaura plushie earlier this year. Some things never change. :P

I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser).
I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)!
I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby).
I'm so fly
That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!

I'm so green (it's really amazing).
I'm so clean (too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me)!
I'm so sane (It's driving me crazy)!
It's so strange
I can't believe I'm falling for the first time!

Pokemon turning 20 makes me feel so old. XP I played it with my father and siblings, and it's always been one of the few happy memories I have of my biological father.

I do like how they're rotating the distributions too, between wifi events and the in-store codes. Mew is going to go fast, I'm going to try and snag codes while I can. One per game means I have no reason to lie about it - I need one for me, my bf, my brother, and a friend of mind. ^^ I have an almost complete dex at this point aside from some of these legendary giveaways!

I finally got my Mew!

The stores here in Australia were late in receiving their codes, so I just checked in occasionally to see if they had them yet. As soon as I walked in the door yesterday (which was the 3rd), one of the employees who recognized me ran over and gave me one straight away! :D I felt special, haha.

I'm probably going to go back and buy the special edition plush and figure, but they're kind of expensive. Mew was my favorite Pokémon for like 18 years (only just bested by Sylveon), though, so I guess it's worth it. I just can't believe the figure is $23, especially since the plush is only $28!

Update: Bought the plush, still debating on the figure.

The final cut of the Superbowl ad aired!

Unfortunately they didn't add a little snippet to the end like we thought they might. It's just a shorter cut of the long version they already released online. Oh well! It is still a great moment for Pokémon fans. We got to see Pokémon on TV during one of the biggest televised events in the world!

Celebi is now available for download! (Just in time! ;))

This is just a download event, so you don't need to get a code or anything.

Thank goodness; I missed the code last time, since they ran out. ;D;

Ohh ff thank youuuuu Pokemon. xD Yeah, the same thing happened to meee Zap ;-; Sucks because I'm pretty sure Mew is one of the few Legendaries I'm actually missing x'D

Stare in the darkness
Are you scared? Are you free?
I can be fair or a monster
Tell me now, which one do you need?

I can feel teeth tear into me
Rip me to pieces, rock me to sleep
I can feel eyes staring at me
Getting uneasy, ready to feed
I can feel teeth

Only Mew, Darkrai, Arceus, and Genesect are code based events. (I have no idea why those four, pff.) Everyone else will be a download. Which is great, because we all hate coded events!

Hey guys - I was lucky enough to get a Mew for all of my games. Which means I have a few extras. PM me and I'll happily send one over. ^^
