I've found that if you visited the web version of the email the code image showed up just fine as an fyi. Ran into the same problem when I got home and rechecked my email. Clicked on the web version and was able to see the code.
I enjoyed the demo either way. Seems that after clearing it 10 times though it's just repetitively boring as you get all the rewards you can get after 10 run throughs.
This is old but that wasn't actually the case. I visited both versions and it still took an eternity and a half for mine to load. It refused to load until the end of the day, and even then it took like an hour to finally show up.
Ugh! I'm just bored.
Why isn't it Friday yet? ;;

To anyone who hasnt found out yet, it's been confirmed that Battle Frontier is not in the game but there are a lot of NPC's who talk about it so it might be a DLC or patch later on.

I think this marks the first Pokemon game I have no interest in getting. Ruby and Sapphire were always my least favorite generation with the fewest good pokemon.

Got hardcopy version and been playing it for the last 4 hours. The nostalgia man...the nostalgia! Also my Gamestop didn't get too many pre-orders for the games so they gave me a dozen of the pre-order posters! Wooo!!!

I'm still questioning my life over just how asspully they made the megastone introduction.
LIKE SERIOUSLY?
[SPOILER="because penis"]They couldn't have found any easier implementation than making one of the lati twins kidnap us, fly us to random buttfuck island, defeat 2 easy magma grunts then give us the other twin/megastone?[/SPOILER]

I've never played this one before. I think this is the first Pokemon game where I've had to remember to go back to places for things other than having to find some item somewhere. It's kind of neat.
Also, I don't remember this being as frequent in X and Y, but a lot of the things they do with the camera are really cinematic. Me likey.
I also really like a lot of the characters. Too bad I have work tomorrow. ;;

The thing about Hoenn region is that there's a lot of water and you need the HMs Surf, Dive and Waterfall to access stuff.
That's 3 additional HMs on top of the basic 5 you usually need to get around

Yeah. I've gotten used to that, though.
I really need to pick a secret base spot...
It's haaaaaard.

Secret Bases are fun. I love what they did with the storyline. They really spiced things up. I definitely felt the urgency to put an end to it. So far I have to say that I'm having a lot of fun with it. The best part is that they don't force you to beat the elite four to get the National Dex so you're free to either work on the dex or beat the elite four. I transferred all my XY pokes over via pokemon bank so that takes care of a good chunk of dex work, so I guess I'll just head to the elite four with my Mega Diancie (my new favorite pokemon) and make some waves.

Although I really love the visuals and music when you dive. I could stay down there all day. Also to be fair a good chunk of the game takes place on land, you don't have to hit the water until later in the game and then you can use a throw away poke for that. Once you get fly you can just fly around unless you have some bases out at sea that you then have to swim to. Also I really love how I can fly to routes if I need to check on berries or go to people's bases.
One last thing, Dive > Defog as an HM. Really disliked that HM in D/P/Pl

Agreed, i was so fucking sad when they only used dive for 1 gen, i was looking forward to all the new crazy underwater stuff.

Waterfall is such a shitty move, *shudders*

I'd disagree, that thing hurts like a truck when used properly.

Tell that to Gyarados and other physical water types.
