I was going to wait but Ive only seen good things about these games all weekend. Went to buy today and everywhere that had it for under $50 was sold out.

EB will price match the big w pro if they have it in stock. Probably your best option seeing how many stores they have around.

EB refused to pricematch Big W yesterday afternoon claiming it was sold out.. so i went to Big W and it was ... apparently at all stores, within an hour. So your mileage may vary. I went back to EB and pricematched to Target's $49 instead.

EB on swanston st are really lax with their price match, all i did was take a photo of the catalogue with my phone, and the clerk price matched for me. Could always try it that way...

I think I'm addicted to Wonder Trading.

I am too. Unfortunately I have awful luck with it, best I've gotten was a gible after a near hour long trade chain, trading over 50 times, getting numerous ledyba, skitty, bunelby, weedle etc finally got something decent. Of course a mate visits for tea, gets a bagon first time out, then a bulbasuar and after a triple trade an axew!

12 hours in and I think I've only spent about 4 tops on in game, just defeated the behemoth on route 7, so not even up to second badge, love the big gap between badges.

Braixen's "happy place" in poke amie is awkward...

So has anybody noticed in the PSS occasionally your Acquaintances and Passersby occasionally have a yellow or red glowing circle around them? I would not be wrong in assuming this means they are using an O-Power right?

Heh, Froakie get's a really unimpressed look in his face if you try and rub his belly. The proportions of him being a frog makes it look like you're rubbing elsewhere so the face is quite fitting...

I read that once you reach a certain part of the game, theres a safari zone, but its based of Friend Codes (FC) you have registered. So i figure this might be a good time to start adding each other on the 3ds friend register list. Here's mine, 1075-0747-8421 (Kazza)

Thanks for the tips. I ended up ordering online from Big W (same price as Kmart after shipping costs) particuarly given the "must be in stock in a store in the same shopping centre" type excuses that get added on when you try to price match most of the time!

Now I just have to wait for it to arrive and spend the time trying to decide on which starter Pokemon to choose (since I won't be getting two games and I don't have two DS!).

I'm looking forward to downloading Torchic since I missed the Ruby/Sapphire generation completely.
