    Been playing world of warcraft and study week starts when pokemon comes out. Doubt I'll be looking at it until christmas anyway. Would just download it from eshop but it tends to be a decent bit more.

    Yeah, I probably won't get to play too much until my Christmas break.

    Lucky man :p I'm trying to think of any possible way to get it early, but I got nothing. Even connecting to the US e-shop won't work, apparently.

    It will work but you will lose all your save data for all games and access to your PokeBank.

    And that's not a trade worth making for a weeks wait.

    So, for those with the game, does the Exp Share work like it did in X&Y?

    It does. Still makes the game a bit easier, but theres no equivalent to the battle mansion so none of that grinding :p dexnav is brilliant though.

    I kind of like the Battle Mansion, but nothing will beat Black Tower/White Treehollow from B&W2 for XP grinding.

    I liked that Mansion, mainly for doing the Challenge Writs in the post-game for fast levelling.

    I've never done many things from X&Y. Excited for ORAS though. Unfortunately I have to wait until Christmas to get them because I have a younger brother who'll be getting them then. :(:(

    Speaking of PokeBank, if I renew now would I lose however many days I have left, or will it just add 365 to my current remaining time?

    If you mean a non-physical copy, it can be downloaded from the Nintendo eStore from Friday in PAL regions.

    yes a non-physical copy that preferably I could play on my PC. I am of the opinion that my PC would have a longer shelf life than a DS. I have had my PC for 3 years my last DS lasted 12.5 months.

    Also wish to add that it is a fully legal copy of the game I want. If I have to buy a DS to play it I will.

    There's no way to get a legal download copy to play on a PC as Nintendo only supplies games for their own hardware. Discussion on where to get illegal download games is not allowed.

    they're cheap enough on adverts/donedeal etc.

    i bought one a few weeks back myself, along with Y and HG, getting Alpha Sapphire next week. hope to resell all along before christmas after im finished with them and get most me money back, you should do the same if you only want it for a few games

    Heart Gold?? Now there is a blast from the past. have played the series since red blue yellow and stopped when ruby and sapphire originally came out. bought a 3DS full price for X/Y coming out and it lasted 12.5 months. I have plenty of young cousins that call to the house from time to time for a visit so i usually have a few spare games that i let them have a go of while they are here.

    Aye, its pretty much the same value if not more now as it was at launch more than 4 years ago, and the ones with the cardboard box and poke walker is even more.

    50 is a bit too much IMO, 40 euro on amazon for the game is pretty decent,

    The only problem with HG/SS is that you needed a WEP password for your router to use online services, and any modern (<5 years old) router uses WPA, which the DS wasn't equipped for. I'd say Nintendo would rake in a load of cash if they re-released HG/SS on the 3DS.

    Games nowadays are usually €45-50. I don't even understand them being so high.

    I usually get my games off of amazon, i think theres an irish tax on video games which makes them a lot more expensive here

    I raided my Pokebank of a bunch of level 1 spares I have been breeding in X and Y for the last few weeks, that Shiny Beldum is a life saver too.
