I'm embarking on a mission in Tokyo, have a proposition for potential partner
Hello! I'm new to this community but certainly not new to Pokemon, and I'm on a mission now to complete my pokedex before Sun and Moon. My goal is to collect the event-only legendaries, as they're the only ones I don't have. I've been playing for 17 years, but I don't have any friends who play and so I've missed out on hearing about most of the giveaway events over the years. This year Nintendo is giving away the legendaries, one each month, and I can download most of them vie the internet, but I've got no chance at obtaining the ones given away in-store at American Gamestops, because I live in Tokyo. I'm a lifelong fan and trainer, but I'm kinda clueless when it comes to the complicated stuff.
What I propose to someone is this: If you are a very savvy individual, and can help me obtain download codes over the next few months from Gamestop, and help me get the legendaries I'm missing, I will send you really cool stuff from Japan, including pokemon merchandise that is only available at the Poke Center stores in Japan. I will choose, purchase, and ship to you, and I promise it'll be cool stuff. In case you're wondering why you should help me (besides getting cool stuff) let me explain my playing style. I'm a solitary player. I don't really trade with or battle others. I've been obsessed with Arcanine since generation I. The first gameboy color Arcanine I raised was an incredible female (named Freya) and she carried my team. When I was young I honestly cared about her like I would about a family pet. When I got a game boy advance, I traded her to my copy of Ruby. I wanted a Growlithe/Arcanine more than any of the three R/S starters, but my Freya was an old girl (Lv100) so I bred her, and used her son Flint as my "starter" in R/S, building my team around him. Long story short, I've been continuing Freya's bloodline for almost 20 years, discarding my starter as soon as I can trade in the next Growlithe in the family. It's fun to see which of each new generation's pokemon will make the best compliments to my Arcanine-based team. Needless to say, I develop bonds. I also, however, always play by the Nuzlocke rule that requires releasing any pokemon that faint. But I take it a bit further in my game. If my Growlithe/Arcanine starter (always named something starting with "F") faints, it's an instant game over, and I have to start a new game trading in the deceased's brother or sister (next of kin) as the next starter. These events always hurt. But I'm pretty good at not letting that happen anymore, and I'll sacrifice someone else if a battle's going south. (Wobuffet's shadow tag/destiny bond took Freya's great-great-great-granddaughter from me). Anyways, I love to play and I love to collect, but I've never gotten serious about completing my dex until this year's 20th anniversary giveaways. Now I've gotten Celebii and Jirachi in the past two months, and it's made me wonder about how to collect the others. If you're one of those super-wizards, and you're interested in helping me complete this task, please let me know. I promise I'll make it worth your while. And actually, after explaining my Arcanine obsession just now, I thought I might even throw in one of Freya's descendants to sweeten the deal, lol. Hope to hear from you! -Shawn |
Hi there Shawn! Huge welcome to the forum, it's great to meet you.
While I sincerely do hate to be the bearer of bad news transactions such as those are not permitted here. =( In-game items/Pokémon may only be traded for other in-game items/Pokémon which is a safety net to protect our users from giving away their addresses and contact information. I'm really sorry about that, but I sincerely do hope you'll complete your dex prior to Sun and Moon! There are plenty of people here who would be happy to loan you their event legendaries for the data in the Trade Corner forum. I used to be a very solitary player myself years ago but it helps so much to open up more. With that, I'll unfortunately have to close this. Again, good luck! |
