My pokewalker died, It had a wierd battery and I never bought a new one, eventually it just disappeared

Lately, i felt motivated to play my 3DS Pokemons games after i finished Pokemon X several days ago.
Used to be i have less desire to continue Pokemon games.
And now i'm worried for Pokemon Black / White 2, Pokemon SoulSilver that almost impossible to be founded on Ebay or Amazon. If there is, the price are insane or lack of the box and manuals (Cartridge only with still expensive prices)
The cheapest option is Japanese version, but..... I want Pokemon games in English.

Yeah, I looked at Soulsilver on Amazon and it was a crazy amount of money, I got it for 5$

I don't know why, but the Pokemon games aren't rare by any means. People keep the prices artificially high. Other people see it, think they're expensive, and sell them for crazy amount as well. But you may as well blame the people who buy them at those prices. Stuff like Pokemon TCG and Snap are dirt cheap on the other hand.

Anyway, just emulate them. The price they're asking for a game like SoulSilver on eBay just isn't worth it. Don't feed the scalpers, you're a part of the problem if you do.

@Octane
I don't want to emulate them with pirated ROMS nor even play them in modded machine.
I had promised to myself to stop playing with pirated games and illegal modded machines.

Star Story is on sale for $1. Any good?
I also saw that Shut Eye is $0.39...

Doesn’t it? I’d try to place a slice on Jack’s head, but I would probably ended up with shredded fingers. And I’d undoubtedly be out a pizza slice.

I bought bouncey Bob when it was a penny. I'd love to see how many copies it sold.. years from now by some company they'll do a physical release of the worst game on switch. A remaster if you will. Just like night trap 😂

"This grass feels funny," Kirby thought. "It feels like... pants."

@Vinny Sounds like vegan boxer shorts to me...

Or a Hawaiian grass skirt

Traditional Papua peoples (Indonesia) wear grass skirt too.

I have SoulSilver and still have my Poke Walker accessory, though I'm unsure if the latter still works. It would definitely need a new battery by this point.

Also, yes, some of the Pokemon DS games retail for crazy amounts. They aren't quite Xenoblade Chronicles levels but are still pretty hard to get a hold of at a decent price.

@ThanosReXXX: Heh, it was just a busy day between work, adulting, and errands. XD The good news is that I survived Thursday as well. Just Friday to go!

@AlohaPizzaJack Aaaannnndd there's @Anti-Matter again, with his joke-killing powers...

Tasty new name, by the way. I'm almost tempted to change mine as well. Almost...
But it's just perfect as it is, so I'm just going to stick with that for the foreseeable future.

@Blitzenexx Confuses me with 'a crazy Hump Day', subsequently continues to do so by seemingly trying to explain it, but using the word 'adulting'...
Man, either I'm getting too old for this, or my women communication skills REALLY aren't what they used to be anymore...

But I'll try not to make too much of a fuss about it, seeing as it's international Women's Day and all, so I'll just be my regular nice self. And then some...

So yeah, that good old 'TGIF' vibe already starting to kick in, huh?

On a side note: how's it going with deciding on getting that Blu-ray player?

I decided to grab Star Story. I’m glad it was $1. It’s okay, like a choose your own adventure thing with occasional turn based combat, but it’s text heavy and the print is small on handheld. That’s normally not a problem, but I’m currently watching the Dark Matter series on tv (again).
I also strung together some funds from reward things and got LEGO City Undercover for $15.

PineappleThanos has a good ring 😛

I broke one of my looming hooks. Now I have super glue in my fingertips.

On the bright side, super glue-infused yarn makes for great fixing material.

@ThanosReXXX: Long story short, work was nuts yesterday, plus I went to meet someone about retirement planning. Throw in a couple of errands and a very late supper, and...I was definitely done with Wednesday.

No Blu-ray player yet unfortunately. I'm trying to decide between that and some noise canceling Bluetooth headphones for work. My current set still works, but the headband/stock part of it snapped towards the right side and doesn't stay on my head very well. If the damage wasn't internal, I'd just use some tape I have sitting around to repair it. I need a set that cancels noise better anyway. XD Depending on what I get, that may take care of most of the entertainment budget for a couple of months....

@ThanosReXXX "Confuses me with 'a crazy Hump Day', subsequently continues to do so by seemingly trying to explain it, but using the word 'adulting'... "

I'm late to the party but I just LOLed at this. It's one of those things you don't think about until someone goes and does just that. You crazy Europeans......

"But I'll try not to make too much of a fuss about it, seeing as it's international Women's Day and all, so I'll just be my regular nice self. And then some..."

I would acknowledge International Women's Day, but then I might get a reputation as a womanizer. (Channeling my inner Henny Youngman here...)

@Blitzenexx: Retirement planning in the 21st century: Don't plan on retiring. Don't worry, we're already learning tricks here at NL from interviews with Nintendo developers about how to work while on an IV drip, so 'sall good.

A simple generic “happy international women’s day” would have been fine, I think.

On that note, feliz día internacional de la mujer.

@Blitzenexx Didn't know Bluetooth headsets were that pricey. Then again: never really looked into it, seeing as I neither want nor need any.
