The TSR Pokémon Society III

Why can't we post screenshots from Pokemon X & Y in Miiverse? So annoying. Nintendo obviously did it deliberately but for what reason? Apparently older 3DS games have the functionality but not Pokemon it seems... :frown:

Damn! Knew I should have ordered from Nintendo's Official store when they had the steelbook and figurine for £39.99...they don't have it anymore. :frown:

Standard version it is then!

GAME did have the steelbook but it was £49.99 and didn't come with the figurine. They might still have it if you particularly want the steelbook.

You can get the figures from GAME if you pre-order, that's what I'm doing (and you get reward points if you have a reward card :biggrin:

). I'm not sure if they're still selling the steel book edition, but I know that either way they sell the figures and steel book editions separately :frown:

Yeah I wouldn't have minded the Steelbook, didn't really care much about the figurine. I think GAME have the steelbook for £5 more than the standard at £39.99 so I'll probably buy it.

I was going to preorder but wasn't sure if the game would get to my uni halls right, so I decided it would be easier to head into the city and buy it on release day. Still, would have liked a lickle Kyogre model.

Going to pick up the code tomorrow from GAME after work. I have a question though. When you obtain event Pokemon is it best to leave their moves unaltered or train them how you want as with normal Pokemon? Gengar was my first event Pokemon and I made him forget Astonish for another move. Which brings me to my second question, can Pokemon re-learn old moves if you made the Pokemon forget a move but then changed your mind? I have no idea. I'm such a noob. :tongue:

Depends on the moves. If they are event exclusive moves, then I'd keep them unaltered. To see whether something is an event move, you should really check online as it's not always obvious.

As for relearning, this is possible in certain circumstances. If it is a move in the Pokemon's moveset (just google "<insert Pokemon> moveset" for this, Serebii/Smogon/Bulbapedia are all good sites to use) then it can always do so. If it is a move the Pokemon obtained through breeding, then it can always relearn it. If it is a move the Pokemon learned in its previous form, then it is not always possible - it requires the move to also be counted in the fully evolved forms movepool. Event moves are a mystery to me so I would look them up.

Does the pre order for AR/OS give you anything special? If you dont preorder can you still get a shiny beldum?

If you already pre-ordered from Nintendo, you will get the steelbook edition with a Groudon or Kyogre figure, depending on which version you ordered. If you pre-order from GAME, you get one or the other. I'm not sure if you can still get both by pre-ordering from Nintendo at this point.

You can still get the shiny Beldum if you don't pre-order as I think it's a Wi-Fi event :smile:

Depends what you want to do with it :yep:

using it and battling with it? Train it up and give it the best moves you can, some event moves are great while others are naff and just there for flavour. If you're not going to use it and keep it as a collector's item, event pokemon are worth a lot more in trading circles if they're left untouched :smile:

Great, thanks to you both for the information :smile:

I've never had a Gengar so I will definitely be using the shiny one I got for battles. :smile:
