I think Bridgette is just a stock model for Game Freak's Pokemon box storage systems, I was amazed she even managed to get sort of a back story or even a name.

[Master]

Hm, so the Box is floating in limbo with no indication of when it may descend...

Still, more time for me to prepare on getting X/Y for myself, or the third/sequel, at this rate.

[Haruka]

I need the bank to transfer the legendaries of previous generations.

[Master]

Hm, sadly, seeing as I won't be able to get it before the trial period ends, I'm not sure what I'm going to do for transfer.

[Dart]

pay $5 a month?

[Haruka]

The first thirty days are free.

[Spanex]

I'm not so fond of legendaries anymore, so I'll probably just ask friends for a pokedex registration of their legendaries. I've already got Zapdos and Mewtwo on my dex.

[Master]

The issue lies more with the fact I'm not able to make digital purchases yet, and in all fairness and honesty, I don't really have much use for an extended storage facility, I'd probably do just fine with the 30 in game.

[Serza5]

pay $5 a month?

Actually it's a yearly fee of about that much. Which i'd happily pay for but my only real dips with the Pokebank is as Master says; tis only a cloud storage system. I know many people didn't like it but I would of preferred a 3DS version to the Poke Ranch Wii app; it was essentially a cloud storage system with (a rather cheap) gimmick which allowed you to play with your Pokemon at a Ranch. At least it felt more than just storing Pokemon in boxes and I would like to see a re-make for it, if not something along the same lines which could be linked to the Poke Bank.

[OCG]

OMG, I cannot believe what I found today in my house. The only Pokemon game I have. And it's a bootleg (you guys can see it is written only game)
Even sadder thing is that the language of the game is not even any real life language. Just some weird symbols so I never beat it

[Master]

Well, that's pity. Why not take up the opportunity to shun that bootleg and play the real Gold? Or maybe it's remake, HeartGold? There be some good experiences laying within those legitimate and brilliant titles.

[Serza5]

Hm I believe I once owned a bootleg/hack known as Chaos Black which was essentially Kanto with some "new" pokemon and no real way to progress beyond Mt Moon because there was water blocking the way forward.

Either way Gold/Silver/Crystal/Heart Gold/Soul Silver are pretty nice games, only they aren't Emerald.

[Master]

Hm, I'll confess that the Gen II remakes are probably my favourite Pokemon games of all time.

[Haruka]

Yeah, OCG could adquire the DS remakes. They are very nicely done.

By the way, to the X/Y players: does any of you has got a spare Sun Stone that you won't need? I am looking for two Sun Stones to evolve the two last Pokémon from my game.

[Serza5]

Can you not play the Balloon game on the global link for them? 8?

[Haruka]

I've been doing that everytime I have got a decent ammount of Pokémiles but the problem is the random giveaway of items. I keep getting berries, it upsets me.

[Haruka]

Sorry for double posting but I think it is pertinent enough to say that Pokémon Bank and Pokémon Transfer are now available in Europe since yesterday!

I just have a small problem: I would like to transfer legendaries I got in a non-official Nintendo event back in the GBA era, but the problem is that I don't think they are 100% legit. The attacks and stats seem to be ok but the rest not really. Nintendo will apparently block users from future using for those who transfer illegal Pokémon, so I am unsure of what to do.

[OCG]

Nintendo said they will block hacked 3DS's long time ago and it turned out they don't even have technology to remotly make anyone's 3DS unstable so it is very possible that they are just trying to scare people again, but of course people shouldn't risk. Maybe you could try calling Nintendo Support and ask them is it safe (like tell them at what event you got it and some details).

[Rayfist]

So has anyone heard about the twitch stream madness lately for Pokemon Red/Blue?

http://www.twitch.tv/twitchplayspokemon

Nearly 40,000 viewers all typing commands in chat which make the trainer in game move to commands, this is going to take us a LONG time.

[OCG]

LOL, I saw it. Pretty cool idea.
