Will you get the code on 22nd even if you pre purchased? I don't know how this is gonna work?
Explain
As far as I understood, you only get it through eshop prepurchase, same with Gold/Silver
>>33543383
Where do you find the code?
>>33543408
On the purchase receipt in the eshop apparently.
>>33543408
Should be in your receipt for prepurchase and people who buy after launch
>>33543444
>>33543441
It's not there?
>>33543485
I didn't have it on my eshop prepurchase reciept either.
>>33543485
From what I read on the pokemon site it might be possible that you have to wait for the release of gold/silver to get the code.
>>33543532
Sooooo wait for a email? Azure Flute is more easier to understand than this wtf
>>33543560
I have no idea. Maybe it will appear on the receipt when the game releases.
>>33543578
It'll probably be on the download receipt you get when you're asked if you want to download now or later.
Well, fuck... Never had a legit Celebi in game, so I guess I'm buying Gold or Silver. (Was thinking about buying one of them anyway, this just hammers it home.)
Will I be able to transfer it to Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon with PokeBank later if I want to? Don't think I can wait to the launch of those games to redeem the code.
>>33543832
I do believe the code is for SM.
>>33543832
Did you miss 2016 entirely?
>>33543832
Why shouldn't you be able to transfer it via Pokebank?
>>33543848
It's for both SM and usum
>>33543853
I'm new to using PokeBank, and didn't get the games at launch. From browsing on here, I recall it took awhile to be able to transfer Pokemon up to Sun & Moon. I guess I was really wondering what kind of wait I'd be looking at?
>>33543874
I'm pretty sure it's not gonna take long. S/M took a few months because it was a new generation.
>>33543932
Cool, thanks.
>>33543948
That doesn't matter. If you have SM, you can immediately redeem the code, get your celebi, and transfer it to bank.
>>33543485
>>33543530
>>33543560
>>33543578
The code will appear when Pokémon Gold or Pokémon Silver is purchased in Nintendo eShop between September 22, 2017 and September 21, 2018. Enter the code by October 31, 2018 to claim Celebi in your Pokémon Sun, Pokémon Moon, Pokémon Ultra Sun, or Pokémon Ultra Moon game. Celebi will not be available for your Pokémon Gold or Pokémon Silver game
Still no codes here. Some people seem to have received theirs. This is infuriating.
>>33543367
I preordered it on the eshop, you get the code by mail in a separate mail.
There is a code for the theme and one for the Celebi.
You can get the theme right off the bat, for celebi the code will start to be operative next week on the 22nd
>>33544392
by separate mail I mean that one mail is the receipt and is worth jack shit. In another mail you have the 2 codes.
>>33543367
The code is coming in the receipt when you (pre)-purchased the games.
>>33544411
wroooong, it is not in the receipt. You get another mail with the codes.
At least, in EU it works like this.
>>33544392
Do we yet know how to get the Gym Leader theme, or...?
>>33544418
What? Gym leader theme?
As far as I know, with gold you get gold theme, with silver the silver theme.
>>33544425
Oh, I suppose it's still not official yet three themes leaked 2 weeks ago, but Serebii's to C&D-scared these days that he didn't talk about them
https://projectpokemon.org/home/forums/topic/41553-upcoming-gold-silver-3ds-themes-revealed/
Main reason I want this is because the GSC Gym overworld music is dope
>>33544416
I am from EU, too. Right after pre-purchasing Silver, I clicked on the receipt in EShop, and got my codes for the theme and Celebi.
>>33544416
thing is, I don't get emails from them, not even receipts. Everything is set to receive their emails but I don't.
>>33544468
>nintentight will charge fucking 3 bucks for an imageand i'll end up buying it
>>33544477
check the spam folder
>>33544476
I didn't check that, I simply opened the mails I got. They sent me 3 mails, two for the transaction, one with the codes.
>>33544498
I did, there's nothing there
I'm from Americas though
>>33544530
Might work differently then, or just wait.
>>33544550
just contacted their shitty support, I guess I'll have to wait
>>33543367
>still not fat
>>33544578
they replied me with "send us a pic on where you got that info [about the promotion]"
unbeliavable
