A Quick Diversion: I love my Game Boy Advance SP. It's Torchic Orange. It's very shiny. [monotone]I have been hypnotized by the shininess. YESSSS, EVIL DARK LORD TORCHIC... KILL ALL HUMANS... KILL ALL HUMANS...[/monotone]
Huh-wha? Did I say something? WHY ARE YOU STARING AT ME?!
The Actual News:
Well, BPM.EXE here with another news update. It's some news I've learned about E3 this year. Like last year, Nintendo is giving out Card-es as their promo from their section. Last year, it was a four-card pack: Pichu (Expedition) and Hoppip (Expedition) to play Hold Down Hoppip, Game & Watch-e: Manhole-e, and a Kirby: Right Back at Ya! contest card. This year, they're only giving out one e-Reader card (as far as I know, anyways). But, it's a good one. Believe me.
It's for the Mystery Event in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions. No, it's not another Pokémon Battle-e Card. Oh, no. It's something much better. This Card-e contains the Eon Ticket! For those who don't know, read on. Or, read on anyways if you're bored. Either way, I don't give two hoots.
The Eon Ticket is an item that cannot be obtained without GameShark/Action Reply or without this Card-e. What it does is allows the ferry S.S. Tidal travel to Southern Island. No, it has nothing to do with the 18-card TCG promo set. It's where you can catch the other Eon Pokémon!
Meaning, if you're playing Ruby Version, you'll see Latios in the wild in Hoenn (after beating the Elite Four). And you'll see his younger sister, Latias, on Southern Island. And in Sapphire Version, Latias will roam Hoenn, and her older brother, Latios, awaits you on Southern Island. So, you can get both Eon Pokémon without cheating! Huzzah-ness!
And if I've heard correctly, the sibling Eon Pokémon you find on Southern Island will NOT flee from battle. So, no more tracking them down around the world! Which is good for those who hated the tracking, or those who had already used their Master Ball on the Hoenn Eon Pokémon.
Of course, E3 is closed to the public. And I'm not involved in the gaming industry in any form, shape, or way (other than I love video games)... so I can't get in. Dang. But, I know I sure as heck will be stalking eBay for it to appear, eh? BUT NO ONE ELSE MAY SEARCH EBAY AS IT WAS MY IDEA! MINE! MINE, I TELL YOU! MINE!... ahem. Sorry.
I hope to get scans soon of the Card-e.
[editation]And... here they are!
Click here, eh?
A whole lot of thanks goes to RockmanXHyper14 (for scanning the pictures) and Master Enigma (for hosting them) from the Pokémon R/S board on GameFAQs for taking these photos of the Eon Ticket.
So... PA! is the first place you learned about the Eon Ticket Card-e (or second, if you already knew this from the GameFAQs board). Huzzah for us! Or someone else! But it is definately "huzzah" for someone![/editation]
Oh, and some other stuff (in case you didn't already know)...
Skyridge is out (I'd modify the main page, but I don't have access to it. I think), so I'll try to get some scans soon. Yay.
Well, now it is my intention to sit down and play video games for several hours.
