General Chat: Dawn of THE FIRST DAY (72 hours remain)

Spoiler:

*anime voice*

Last time, on Quarantine:

We find out about Mega Sableye and discuss typing changes!
Kotakun exists (no we had a srs essay about it and everything)
Super Secret Bases
Mega Metagross and Pikachu cosplays
This happened:

Spoiler:

Octi announces she is going to Carnegie Mellon, we all clap IRL and imagine her going to a piano concert hosted by a melon probably
We discuss the morals of Downloading the Charizardite
Hanky continues working MtG into each of his posts regardless of topic
Captain and OJ argue over megas
I defend Smogon using *logic*(tm) but I also use a bad word :O (and later defend Talonflame)
We discuss censorship/free-speech/bad words/feelings/etymology/tumblr and everything ends up okay
"llegal gambling"
More MtG
We discuss Smash at length!
And then get Smashified! Which is not a metaphor for being drunk! Though I wouldn't object if it became one!
Hussie announces the near-end of the Gigapause and we react accordingly!
Aaaand new thread.

Well, hopefully the New 3DS will alleviate the issues with the controls. But I am happy that it sounds like the game is much better balanced this time around.

I'd be excited for Smash but it turns out I'm shipping the game to my home address and not my college one so uh

There's going to be a bit of a delay before I can finally get my hands on it.

Yeah, I traded in my stash of old games and got a whole bunch of instore credit at a second hand game store, which is almost good for both smash and pokemon together...

but uhh, it's stock is second hand, sooo there's no guarantee that the game will be in any time soon. It probably will be pretty soon, but now I'm worried anyway.

Less than 48 hours, folks! Getting it tomorrow at midnight on the eshop. WEEEEE

Also, everyone is officially level sixty on my Emerald nuzlocke, and I am ready to take on the elite four. LET'S FUCKIN GO

can i take bets on how many of them wont make it? looking at your team the initial odds i think will be these but i will change them as bets come in because i want to make an imaginary profit

number fainted	initial odds
0	15 to 1
1	4 to 1
2	2 to 1
3	3 to 1
4	6 to 1
5	10 to 1
6	20 to 1

I'll place one invisidollar on each of them

I'll place a sweaty handshake and a pat on the back on three dying.

(Though the items you have are kind of important, too.)

J you're losing so far, I just beat phoebe and not a single one of my pokemon has taken a single point of damage
i am so overleveled

also kotakun, just because the profit is invisible doesn't mean it's imaginary ;D

E: just beat glacia. crawdaunt and feraligatr took a hit each, and feraligatr got burned (and healed), but no one is dead yet.

E2: drake went down pretty easy too, he had an espeon that crawdaunt just barely couldn't oneshot, and it kept healing w/ full restores and morning sun but i beat it
WALLACE TIME WISH ME LUCK OH GOLLY GEE

Finally saw the Lego Movie. It was pretty fantastic.

Can confirm lego movie is fantastic.

MEANWHILE
I DID IT I FUCKIN DID IT I BEAT WALLACE. HIS HIGHEST POKEMON WAS A MUK. A FRIGGIN MUK. MAROWAK LAUGHS IN MUK'S FACE AND ONESHOTS IT BECAUSE BONER'S BONERMERANG IS SUPER EFFECTIVE.
I AM THE CHAMPION.
...now onto a randomized platinum nuzlocke. wish me luck

congratulations with your bet on zero which had odds for of 15 to 1 you have won quite a large sum of money

like 6.66 invisicents on top of your stake of one invisidollar

because that was odds for not odds against

because when i overbook i overbook like a champ not some piddly little 10% no im going for 487% because i want profit

thank you for your business and i hope next time you want to get scammed out of lots of invisidollars you remember kotakun kasinos because if its spelled with two ks then it must be ok

Ah, of course, good old overleveling.

Welp, get over here, kotakun, so I can give you your handshake.

woo. .66 invisiblecents to add to my bank account.

Hey Sand, seeing you here again reminds me, I added some of you guys to my friendcodes ages ago but you haven't added me back, or at least it doesn't show it. Do two people have to be online at the same time for it to work? Or did you not add me? Am I doing something wrong again?

I preordered Smash, and apparently, it's coming today (one day early).

GET HYPE YO.

Though I'm at uni till like 6pm, so chances of me being around to collect it are slim. One of my housemates may sign it for me, but in all likelihood I will have to go collect it from the post office.

RAYQUAZA SPOILERS ON SEREBII

I want the cinematic in game to surprise me so I'm not really looking at the images. Caught a glimpse, but there you go. Big deal as one can expect, including a new (and seemingly really OP?) weather effect.

doesn't the eshop update at 9 pm pst tho

the real questions isnt when does the eshop update its how slow will the download be because of the huge load on nintendos servers from everyone trying to download the game at the same time honestly three hours difference in start time might not be that much of a difference by the time its done

So I'll be heading over to Target at 8 in the morning to pick up my copy. I'm already dreading the wake-up time, but it'll be worth it.

I havent added anyone. Havent actually been on my 3ds much. Will definitely be getting on now that smash is out (tomorrow) though

Well, it's not just you, apparently Nintenerd, iT and Captain haven't added me yet either.

I'm gonna go for a digital download for smash just 'cause I can get it a day early that way :I
Plus I'm already downloading like four other games at the same time as a late birthday celebration, so yeah.

Semi-relatedly, is there any way to shift around and organize the icons on the main 3DS menu? I deleted a few things I wasn't using to free up some SD card space, and now my menu is full of ugly holes.

I think you can just use the stylus to drag and drop. I could be wrong, though.
