@Emma - Well for us, it's only 1 code per person. It didn't matter how may games you had.
It grants your poke as per your Nintendo id. So it can only be redeemed once on that console. But i don't know how it works where you are. But that's how it works here. Otherwise i would have got em for my X & Y and sapphire and ruby xD.
I had most of my old stuff on my hard drive.
But lost a lot of new stuff - which was mainly pics of jaxs. But i have most of them here and there.
FB & SD card n stuff. Im just using a program at the mo that searches for lost files etc. So fingers crossed!
Cool i will add ya <3

Ohh okay! That makes sense
Maybe I'll add Mew to my Sapphire then since that one's still new and I haven't played it as much, whereas X I have it completed other than the Pokedex!
Oh good!! Hopefully you won't have lost much then - my cousin lost all of her photos of her kids from Facebook because that's how she stored them (stupidly, I know, but didn't have a computer at the time and didn't have a lot of space on her phone) and a crazy ex of hers hacked her Facebook and deleted everything - it's horrible to lose photos of your kids - everything else is kind of replaceable but those moments and time periods aren't!
Woot! If my battery is still there tomorrow when I get home I'll add you (saw yours on the front page) and M i r o on my DS - if not I'll add you guys when my charger comes in in a few days! <3

Aww that sucks. What an asshole to delete all the kids pics and stuff. Must of been a real piece of work!!
Yeah you're so right. But at xmas i printed a heap, so i still got those i guess. Plus my phone.
Cool. Because we still gotta do that trade remember! :)

Yes that's one of the main ones. Any time there is a pokemon distribution it's usually through eb games.

@Emma - You only need 1 of those games to claim your poke! :)
|
<33
aww! well, they always say that you need to not use the same code over and over again because of hacking and etc. I make my passwords very long with numbers, so, its hard to know which one I used. xDD
I write them down in a notebook now. You should probably keep a memo
ah, okedokeys! I thought there would be the same, lol I guess everything's different. I noticed when I was looking for a icing recipe on YOUTUBE and someone was from Australia and they needed to know what kind of butter to use since it wasn't the same as the US for it.

Oh my Gamestop always gives me multiple cards - I pick them up for me and my brother when I get them 
I've never had an issue with it!
I don't necessarily want to stock up, but I do want them on both of my games and I'm sure my brother does too so that's why I'm trying to figure out how the whole multiple games thing works before I grab cards!!
M i r o / Roa:
Oh no I know that - my question was when you redeem the code, does it redeem to all 4 games or do you have to have a code for each individual game - when I was getting codes before I only had X and my brother only had Y so I didn't think about it, but now I have X and Alpha, and my brother now has Y and Omega, so I'm not sure if I have to have 2 codes for my games and 2 codes for my brother's games or if the 2 codes I normally get (one for each of us) is enough
Does that make more sense?
LOL! Oh my goodness - how did you manage that?? Have you ended up remembering it by any chance? I hope you didn't lose any data though and that you had it all backed up somewhere!!
Woot! I don't mind mine being up there :)
---------- Post added 02-08-2016 at 09:25 PM ----------
Oh! I forgot to mention - I found the website I used to go to for codes/notifications: Serebii.net Games - Current & Upcoming Events
They used to have codes for Pokemon that you get over Wi-fi and they also announced when cards came out to the game shops 
|
Alrighty! u w u
I never did either, especially those where you had to go to the game store to get them. They don't really notify you of anything when they do appear. You have to keep checking their website. Unless there is email notifications you can get - I don't sign up for them, lol.
Sorrysorry!
(1) You can only get 1 card, per person.
(2) You do not receive multiple legends out of 1 card* - you only receive 1 legendary.
(3) You cannot try to redeem the code in your other games, once used - it's done.
The pokemon itself you can trade or transfer to your other games.
If you want more than one, you will have to ask people to get you more than 1 card.
I assume that's what most pokemon hoarders do, to trade off in the GTS or personal trading. xD
And it depends on whose working and if the store person will give you more than 1 card. I didn't personally go into the store to get my card, my sweetheart went in by himself and told him/her he needed 2.

Ouch! I've done that before - also lost all of my writings I had done up until that point, including research papers. That was back in 2011 so I know that pain very well 
My motherboard and hard drive were crashing and went to get it fixed by someone a friend suggested who turned out to be a crook and he stole my hard drive and replaced my parts with low quality crap :(

Didn't get a chance to add anyone because the battery died, but I'll add everyone tomorrow! My charger came in this afternoon 
I'm not sure about e-mail, but I just keep that link on my bookmark bar and check it every week or two! It kind of becomes habit once you start doing it and get into a routine lol!
No worries! I don't think I was clear the first time lol
I'm doing a million things at once and sometimes leave mid-post when Gram needs something so in my mind it makes sense but not always in text 
Ohh ok - that makes more sense. So the account you have on your DS can only redeem the code once, not once per game. I knew you only got 1 Pokemon per card - just wasn't sure if you used 4 separate codes - one code for each game - if it would give you a Pokemon on each game or if you have to choose what game you put it on because you could only redeem each pokemon one time even if you had multiple codes 
I wasn't sure if the redeemables were transferable or not!
I don't think I've ever traded in the GTS xD; I could never figure out how to get into it and maneuver it! I didn't have the patience :P
Oh yeah - they're pretty slack about it unless they only have a few cards left - they honestly don't care how many they give out! They're just there to promote it I've never had a problem getting more than one card at my local shop - they often end up wanting to give me more just to get rid of the cards depending on the time of day and whether it's almost time for them to expire xD;
Our town is small and there aren't a lot of gamers here :P

It was insane! The guy was recommended to me by a friend, and he seemed legit with a radio commercial and a shop, but he was a shady jerk. I paid for quality parts and got crap put in - it was my motherboard and hard drive that were crashing (which is apparently my luck because every computer I've had quit on me had the mother board and hard drive crash LOL) but the hard drive was still working to a degree before I took it to him - he claimed it was blank and refused to give it to me and then looked at a pile of hard drives when I insisted, pulled one from the stack and said it was mine, and gave it to me but I'm pretty sure it wasn't actually mine - the one I got back I had looked at by someone else and it was wiped - it wasn't even poorly functioning like it should have been - it didn't appear to have been the hard drive from my computer so I lost so much stuff - it was heartbreaking - not going to lie I cried about it xD;
It still frustrates me when I think about it - I mean, it's people like him to give local businesses a bad name. The guy ended up going out of business and basically ran out of town a couple years later so he got what was coming to him - I also went to Facebook and so did my Mom immediately after the situation happened and warned everyone we knew about him. It was so shady.

Oh I definitely freaked out on them - nothing they could do at that point, but I still gave them a piece of my mind! They apologized of course but they apparently hadn't had a problem with the guy - but they also didn't have to replace parts or bring them a really big hard drive that could be sold for a profit by taking it if they could salvage it

Oh, I didn't see Roaroa's post before mine. Sorry!
But no. You can only use the code you get once and you cannot try to reuse it again. If you want it on all of your games, then you'll have to try and get more than 1 card. lol I think that would be tough
Some event pokemon you can't trade but others you can through GTS, I think? And even if you can't trade it regularly to your games - Pokemon Bank can transfer any pokemon to any of your games, at all times. Or you can keep them stored on there and transfer them whenever you feel like it, lol. I think my PB has expired by now.
GTS is actually nice sometimes. You can deposit a pokemon and request for a pokemon you want in exchange. If its a success, the next time you log into GTS - you actually receive the pokemon you wanted and the other person gets yours that you put up for trade. There's a lot of legendaries up for dibs if you have the pokemon they want.
oo, lucky!
I tried adding you, Emma but it wouldn't let me. Idkw - I will check to see if yours went through!
But I did add Roachi: c:

Ahhh - there's where miscommunication happened - I was talking about separate codes, not the same code. I tried to clarify that but I don't think it communicated well.
It's not hard to get multiple codes really - the stores don't care who they give them to, just that they move!
Ohhh - never heard of the Pokemon Bank! My first pokemon game post-game boy advanced was X I think so I'm not used to all of these new formats lol I remember older games having a system like that, but global never worked for me and I never had anyone to locally trade with so I never used it - I think it was in the upstairs of the Pokemon Center!
That's strange! Try re-typing the code maybe? I've mixed up the order before and had to redo it! I did get yours to go through but it's conditional of you adding my code or I think it may expire

That's why I now research research research and am very skeptical lol
When my business computer had the same thing happen I did that snd found someone legit - they were way expensive and overpriced so luckily it was a one time thing, but still - kind of traded one crook for another but at least this one didn't steal my property and lie about it LOL

Oh nono, I read it as separate games rather than separate codes. It's my bad
If you have 4 different codes, you're fine!
The cards all have different numbers/letter, which is amazing. Usually they stick to 1 set of codes to prevent multiples.
awh, I wish there were more stores like that where I am!
Yeah! They introduced Pokemon Bank when X and Y came out. It's only $5.00 for 1 year, I think? You download the app from the Nintendo Shop. It can transfer as far back as Pokemon Black/White, which kinda makes me sad. I wish I could transfer my Pokemon further back from Pokemon Blue.
But once you got that downloaded and purchased, you just go to the app to put your inbox pokemon into the pokemon bank. Then you take that game out, and add a different game in and go back to the app, to move the pokemon into it. c:
I've never had anyone to trade with locally, either.
I hated that I couldn't trade stuff through the infrared with my previous handhelds. :/
They purposely took away the original part of what made trading fun.
And personally filling out your pokedex yourself because not having anyone else to trade with, stunts your game growth.*

Ohhh! Gotcha - that makes sense too as to why there was a disconnect
Gotcha! I vaguely remember some sort of subscription thing being promoted but I didn't pay attention lol Guess it was the Pokemon Bank!!
It was definitely harder filling out the Pokedex! I'm finding that with X since that's all I have left to do - it's slow going when you have no idea where to go for the pokemon! Although when you're in the area that little guide thing is handy - the one that tells you if you caught all of the types in the area or if you still have some to catch  That's one improvement I think for the newer games! <3
Yayyy! 
The system might have been down - I know the shop was down the other night for system updates so the friend thing might have been too

Yessums!
Yeah. I think they released it after the games were put on sale?
It's mentioned in the game guide (it was a double package, you got the pokedex + walkthrough). c:
That is a nice perk!
I like that you can set icons on the map too or maybe that was in Pokemon SoulSilver? I can't remember.
Definitely... it takes a long time to fill out the new ones. I try but I end up giving up in the end. I don't really evolve my pokemon other than the ones in my main party. I had tried to play the online competition - it's so hard... It doesn't matter if my pokemon are level 100, it seems like the people I challenge online "god mode" because they're always a lot stronger than mine.
I mean, you can strengthen up your pokemon by playing the training course. I have and it's still not enough.  But I do love the fact that you can sign up a account on the pokemon website, it tracks all of your info from your games and you can transfer your trainer points to play custom ones on there and win prizes. I love the balloon popping one the most.
---------- Post added 02-11-2016 at 10:57 PM ----------
Oh! And the neat thing about Pokemon Bank is also that you can add items to your pokemon that you're transferring ~
So you won't have to lose out on any items you want to move! You just have to watch your expiration date for your PB.
If it ends and you have stuff in it, everything disappears and cannot be regenerated.

I don't have a physical copy of X so that might be why - mine came with my DS as a download!
I don't think you can do icons - or at least I don't know how lol I don't recall seeing that feature though!
I've never done an online competition! I do evolve all of my pokemon though - I think it's exciting and fun to train them like that! <3
The pokemon website is the one you linked before right? With the legendaries? (I think it was you anyways lol!)
I don't have an account there - I'll have to look into it!
See I don't agree with that - you should have a grace period to renew before it deletes everything. I mean, what if the parent was out of town and got busy and forgot to renew it until later? Kids would lose everything! And then adults could have the same issues - I mean, I for one always get busy and forget renewal dates for Hulu and such until I go to log in and they're like HEY lol My life is too hectic! We're lucky I remember to pay bills on time! :P But I pay them when my check comes in so it's more of a routine but still - you get my point lol!

Oh, you have to buy the guides separate xD
If thats what you mean by physical copy???
Yeah. You could set icons like a pokeball, pikachu face, etc. I may have been before x and y. I will have to check.
I havent played it in a long while since I got Alpha then Mystery Dungeons, lol
Well, they always remind you how long you have left each time you login. And you could remind them by text or at least a couple of weeks before it expires??? xD I usually set a alarm alert on my calender for my phone or whatevs to remind me of certain things. But yes, I understand ~
Idk? I havent been posting in here long. The only thing I mentioned was the free card thingy
