(5) Victini Deck Cards, Victory Medal, Claim Eeveelution, Lenora, Ash Captures [5/17]

I came home yesterday and tried logging into the dream world.It said the site was maintenance.When I tried logging in this morning mozilla, Google chrome,and internet explorer said the script was safe but not yet verified or trusted.After that my computer starting turning on and off by itself and the browser is very slow.Also my wi-fi stopped working.I checked everything on my computer and it says nothing is wrong but the norton scan just said I have 130 errors and I cannot find them in my computer.None of the other sites I go to or having problems except get this..ebay same problems.Facebook,pojo,discoverynews,serebii all safe but not pokemon.com,or ebay?
 
ya know? america is just too frikken sensitive. you say something, someone's upset. i for all the world, would've guessed that it was alternative artwork. and yet if she has her apron on facing forward, it's taken as a racist slant. what the crud

...you, me, and about half the people who played the stupid game are apparently having trouble with it. I have a feeling it's the way the site deals with cookies and such...which, imo, is very poorly.

I believe I even played the game on a computer that wasn't at home to get Espeon as well. Either they need to fix the bug, or redo the promotion so it involves using a password instead (and, once you use one password, you can't use another to get a different Eeveelution). That's my take.

But yeah. I'm miffed. Want Magic Bounce now please. The frustration I wasted on that game was too much. I shouldn't be forced to be rejected to have what is rightfully mine...

So, did you have a chance to read my humble warning waaay back?
http://pokebeach.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=94871&pid=1880648#pid1880648

I would assume not. I did not discover it, I read things, and I go back and check, and it was indeed not saved. So I corrected it.

Since I did take people's warning however, I'll be enjoying not only Magic Bounce; but also Chlorophyll, Ice Body, Hydration, Guts, Quick Feet, and Inner Focus (In the order of enjoyment). Here are my 7 Eeveelutions:



You can check all 7 accounts that I have, all legit, all in separate games, although I will be creating backup copies to create duplicates. If you contact me personally, I may be able to hook you up to RNG abused one, but you will have to wait.

I actually started to get Leafeon, Espeon, and Vaporeon since they are the useful ones, but I want all of them for the sake of completeness, and I went ahead and did all 7.

EDIT: Yes, that is one nice Vaperon, just goes to show you how much detail has been thought for this event (or how rushed they really are).
 
I didn't see this. I didn't even sign up for a Pokemon Trainer Club account until around the second week of April right before Global Link opened, And after that, I never heard anything about a bug. Does TPCi know about this?
 
Just something else I'd like to point out about Lenora.
If you compare the screen shots you'll also notice that her nose is now less profound. Such as the removal of the nostril in the first, and an entire contour in the second.
And as we all know, exaggerated lips and noses are a common trait of racist drawings.
 
I honestly thought the whole removal of the apron thing was to make her look less like a chef (which a lot of people thought she was, IIRC) since she's more like an archeology person

I actually went back to read your post as soon as I realized it wasn't saving. First thing I did, I played the whole game, selected Yes for my Espeon, and went to another window. Went back to the tab and it didn't save.
Next time I did it, I did the exact opposite - I didn't close the tab and I beat the entire game a second time without closing the tab, and then left by clicking off it. Still didn't save.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the horrible way that Pokemon handles cookies. But eh. I'll live.

edit: aw crap, i hate pokemon so much. Even so, I don't remember there being a "Leave" button anywhere.
 
Personally, I find the whole Lenora thing pointless, she was never really a racial stereotype, and if you look at the North American release of the games, she still has the apron on, the only way they could make it worse was if they changed her skin color, which would make her look like something out of a 4Kids anime dub....

Is Grimsley in this pic???

It does look like him, made interesting in the fact that the Grimsley lookalike is flipping a coin, and Grimsley mentions how battles are like a flipped coin after you beat him for the first time.

But he is not Grimsley, because Grimsley wears a completely different outfit, and does not wear green on his outfit at all , and the yellow part in the lookalikes hair is actually a part of the real ones outfit, and he does not have a scar on his cheek. Proof, look at his official artwork:

Obviously, someone was trying to make a Grimsley expy, but it ended up looking more like Yamcha from Dragon Ball Z, that, or the guy only had a low quality sprite to look at, and misdrew it....

I think that's the most reasonable conclusion. As you said, Grimsley's quotes frequently mention coin flips, so it could very well be him, just with the incorrect color scarf.

You could also say that the person in the first half of the pic is not N, because N does not have any letters on his cap. But, with that said, it's most likely N anyway - just stylized. Same with Grimsley.

Yea, I actually exited the browser as soon as it gave me the message. What browser did you use?

But hey, the fact they spelled Vaporeon is a pretty good indication of how much they actually care.
 
Firefox 4. But eh, no big deal. I'll live. (I still have a Bouncing Natu to look forward to, and at least with him, I can give him egg moves.)

The fact that their quality team sucks enough and never bothered to fix the glitch in the first place is a pretty good indication of how much they actually care.
 
There COULD be Female Eevees... tomorrow for the JP Cafe Event, and I am planning to take a stab at it since the password this time around is not a one-time serial number (!).

I happened to have made a JP DW account. Even if they are Males only, it means that MB Espeon can finally get Baton Pass, which is sort a consolation prize.

I'm looking forward to that for US games, especially if multiples can be acquired. (I had heard about it not too long ago.) If the Cafe event will give us female Eevees, that is definitely something to look forward to!
