Bravely Default, and it's amazing soundtrack

So, we're at about a week before semester starts, and I just completed Bravely Default. What do I think about the game? It's pretty good. I know that most people will say that it has a lot of padding in the later chapters, it didn't really bother me one bit, since the padding can be gotten past pretty quickly.

One thing I got to say though, is that it has a spectacular soundtrack. I'm a kind of person that usually likes music from Capcom games (like the Mega Man and Ace Attorney series), and soundtracks from other games don't usually receive high praises from me, but Bravely Default is an exception, it's music is just that good.

How good you may ask?

What I like about Bravely Default's soundtrack is the ability to its main themes in different parts of other music. Like how the title screen theme is also used in part of the overworld theme (when it's night time). Or how the overworld theme (during daytime) is used in the music when travelling by sea and air in later parts of the game. It reminds me of the theme in Mega Man Zero 4 (Resistance and ending theme) and Ace Attorney Dual Destinies' Objection theme (which has elements of the Objection theme in the third game). Also, the overworld theme in Bravely Default can also be heard in the game's ending song, which had vocals (a duet between a female artist and the composer of the game, Revo). It's a really nice song, and fitting for an ending theme.

Another thing cool about Bravely Default is that it has a different versions of themes that are found in the game as part of their soundtrack. A few months after I got the game, I went on Youtube, and I found that in Japan (cuz they released the game much much earlier), they had a Bravely Default live concert, done by the composer's band (which is Linked Horizon, formerly Sound Horizon, and the people responsible for the two Attack on Titans opening song which is catchy as hell). What I liked about the live concert is that i realized that some of the game's tracks have extended versions, or vocalized versions, which sounds pretty good as well. I like that a lot as it also reminded me of Mega Man Zero and ZX's remastered sountrack, which makes a track in the game that is put to loop, and turn it into a song.

Bravely Default's music is amazing. They have really catchy and amazing boss themes (the best one being the Asterisk boss battle theme, His Name Is, or Ka no Mono no na ha). Their overworld theme is good. The cities theme is nice as well (special mention to the theme of Hartschild - The Civil War Country). Dungeon theme is nice as well. Best of all, the random enemy encounter music (Conflict's Chime) does not sound tedious even though you're listening to it for the 1000th time (to put in perspective, I normally mute the Pokemon Wild Encounter theme when I EV train my Pokemon cuz it gets boring to listen to after a while). Oh, and each character has their own theme (activated when they perform a special attack), and each of these themes have their own vocalized version as well, which sounds nice and actually has meaning to it (like most of the vocalized songs in this game). Finally the final boss theme (Serpent Eating the Ground) is a pretty awesome theme, combining tunes of several tracks (including the character themes) and putting them into one epic theme suited for a final boss.

I know I've been praising Bravely Default's music to no end, but I really can't help it, it's really amazing. Now, I don't know much about the history of Final Fantasy's music since I don't normally play JRPGs, but I heard it's pretty good due to them having a good composer (Nobuo Uematsu, I think). Some people say that the music for this game is not up to standard since it's not Nobuo composing but Revo instead, and honestly I can't really say I agree or disagree since I've never played a Final Fantasy game. But I can say one thing though, Revo did an amazing job as a composer in my opinion as the game sounds great, and has vocalized/extended versions of existing tracks, and tracks of the game that are done live as well, so I don't have much to complaint on the music.

Before I sign off, I would like to say that the Ba'al boss battle themes sound awesome (albeit a little disturbing to some).

That's all for now.

Some update post cuz I didn't update much

So, my exams are over, so I'm playing more games, what have I been playing?

Pokemon (mostly), I had a few breeding and training projects to work on and also some tournaments that I join for fun, so I was preparing for that. One of those breeding projects involve me breeding a lot of Ghost-type Pokemon because I was helping out my friends in their PokeLARP event (a Pokemon Live Action Role Play, where contestants/trainers battle 8 gym leaders, and the elite four to become the champion, the champion then has to challenge any newcomer that has just defeated the elite four to defend his/her throne). It was quite fun, and the ending was a satisfying one.

Anyways, I also continued playing Bravely Default after receiving some motivation to play it during my study week before finals (a horrible time to get into games, but is a time where you have the urge to do stuff you don't normally do, like this). From Chapter 2, I continued playing till my current progress at Chapter 6. I am still not done with the game yet since its just pass the halfway mark till the finale, but I do intend to beat it soon after getting motivation to play it.

One more game I just bought was Shovel Knight. I did not kickstart the game, but the trailers and the reviews intrigued me, since it looks like the kind of platformer that I would play as it has similar styles to Mega Man. I downloaded for my 3DS and loved it. It's a really good game I would say, and I have beaten the main game already. Attempting to beat it in New Game+, but it's not easy, like it is ever. Shovel Knight is quite hard, being a homage to NES platformers and stuff, but I don't mind it one bit.

So yeah, that's all I have been doing. I'm also gonna watch the VGC US Nationals streams if I can stay up that late, and I'm definitely watching EVO next week.

That's all for now.

Hoenn Confirmed!! Top 5 Hopes and Top 5 Pokemon that should get a Mega Evolution.

Been busy lately, though I do keep track on news happening around Nintendo, and it was around a week or two ago, when they announced Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (aka ORAS). It was pretty hyped, since me and a lot of the people I knew grew up loving the Hoenn region a lot (especially in Emerald). 

So today, I'm gonna give you two list. The first being the 5 things I wanna see in ORAS, and the second being the 5 Pokemon that should get a Mega Evolution. 

5 Things I wanna see in ORAS:

5. More legendaries.

There's a lack of legendary Pokemon found in X and Y, and I was hoping that we will see more legendaries make an appearance in the region of Hoenn. If I recall, the Hoenn games are filled with non-event legendaries, from the weather trio, to the regis, and the eon duo. So here's hoping that the legendary roster gets expanded, like having Regigigas in there, and maybe Heatran and Manaphy (with relation to Groudon Kyogre). 

4. A different storyline for the evil teams.

One thing that made Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire unique was that the enemy organisation that you face is version dependent, where you fight Magma in Ruby, and Aqua in Sapphire, and you fight both of them as their stories combined in Emerald. I have hopes that there will be slightly different scenarios of which you face them in their respective versions to make the game more unique than before. 

3. Battle Frontier revamp.

I would have to say that the Emerald Battle Frontier is really awesome. Too bad not many of the things that made Emerald's Battle Frontier got brought over to Gen IV games, where I find their Battle Frontier boring. It was even removed completely in Gen V, with Battle Subway and PWT, and Battle Maison in Gen VI. 

I really wanna see Emerald's Battle Frontier make a return in ORAS, because it's one of the best post-game content of any Pokemon game to date. 

2. Online Pokemon Contest.

You know what would be cool? If you could battle with others online in Pokemon Contests. Pokemon Contest was a really nice little addition to Gen III that let's people sidetrack themselves from the main story. It is surprisingly deep for something that is considered a mini-game. With online being better now in Gen VI, why not do an online Pokemon Contest? Seeing tons of people duke it out to find out who's Pokemon is the Master of the contests. Also, with contest returning, I wonder how will Feebas evolve this time around. 

1. Streetpass/Online Secret Base.

Secret Bases are cool. It's like that treehouse you have away from home (except it isn't a treehouse). I liked how R/S/E implemented it compared to D/P/P, cuz in Gen IV, your secret base in underground, in a mine, that's not interesting at all. At least in R/S/E, you can built your several options scattered across Hoenn, and each base is unique in it's layout, so you have many options to choose from. Hopefully, we can also see more customization options in Secret Bases, and the option to visit your friend's Secret Base, or even better, visit the Secret Base of someone you Streetpassed. 

So that's the first list. Now let's move on to the 5 Pokemon that should get a Mega in ORAS:

5. The Mega Starters.

This one is a no brainer, mostly because Blaziken already has a Mega evolution. It's very unfair to the other starters if they don't get one, so they will have a Mega Evolution for sure in this game. Typing wise, Mega Swampert should remain, and hopefully Sceptile gains a new typing. Not sure how their stats will end up like, but it'll be interesting to see. 

4. Mega Milotic

To many, Milotic is considered the counterpart to Gyarados, and with Gyarados gaining a Mega form, Milotic should have one too. Story-wise, Milotic is the ace of the final gym leader, Wallace (who is champion in Emerald, but this is ORAS, so it should be based on R/S). I'm hoping that to make the battle with him tougher, his Milotic Mega evolves to give us some challenge. 

3. Mega Gallade

But..... Gallade is from Sinnoh. True, but Ralts is from Hoenn. Gallade is the Male evolution for Ralts that was introduced in Sinnoh. X and Y came along and Gardevoir received several buffs (new typing and Mega Form), leaving Gallade the more inferior evolution. This certainly isn't fair for Gallade as he isn't blessed with one. So he should get one for the next game. 

2. Mega Kecleon

The original type changing Pokemon, Kecleon received the hidden ability Protean in X and Y, but that certainly didn't buff him that much. I'm hoping that a Mega form will give him more defenses and some physical offense to be a bulky Protean Pokemon. 

1. Mega Metagross

The signature Pokemon of Champion Steven, Metagross was very formidable Pokemon prior to X and Y, until Steel types received some nerfs and buffs, which hurt Metagross more than others. Having four weaknesses now instead of two makes Metagross a rare sight in competitive play despite having super effective damage of Fairy types. With a Mega Form, let's hope Metagross returns to its former glory.

I can see this happening almost as expected as the Hoenn starter Megas mostly for one reason. Steven is a fan of rare stones, and Mega Evolutions are done by letting the Pokemon hold a rare stone, see where I'm getting at?

There is a high chance that in this updated remake that Steven must have found a Metagrossite along his search for rare stones, and is able to use it on his Metagross in the battle against you. If this is true, that would be pretty sweet. 

Anyways, that's all I have to list for now. I hope that all these things will happen in ORAS. As a random internet person once said 'HOENN CONFIRMED!!'. 

I am back! What the hell have I been up to lately?

Yes, I kinda not post stuff for over a month.

To summarize what happened, I was very busy.
I was helping out the local 3DS community with a 3DS anniversary event while studying. Also, I was studying while part of my family was on holiday. And when they were back, uni life got a whole lot hectic with assignments due and mid semester exams.

And it just ended yesterday.

That doesn't mean I did not do anything related to gaming. I bought some new stuff and sold off some games. Got myself a 2$ eShop game called 'Gunman Clive', which is really fun and well worth the money. Also, got Super Mario 3D Land, which is really fun, getting 3 stars for each level is challenging, but not impossible. And just yesterday, I received my Megaman Zero Collection. It's good to know that I can still beat the game with less than 1 hour game time recorded, and with rank 'A' or higher.

Oh, and I bought an Espeon, Jolteon, and Espurr plush. Very random stuff, but very cute and overall awesome stuff.

So what's next? I still have stuff due soon, so I'll get back to that.

But for now, there are a few games I have in mind to get:
Tomodachi Life, for how insanely the Nintendo Direct was, and how funny awesome this game may be.
Super Smash Bros. 3DS, cuz it's Smash, and Mega Man, as well as Greninja is in it
Azure Striker Gunvolt. Made by Keiji Inafune? Check. Megaman Zero art style? Check. Blue protagonist? Check.
Mighty No. 9, cuz it's Mega Man.

Yeah, kinda all I have to say for now before I go back to playing more Pokemon, Mario and Megaman.

Top 5 Moments of the Pokemon Y Wonderlocke Challenge

Yeah, I know I have not been posting stuff in a month, and I've actually completed the Pokemon Wonderlocke a few weeks ago. It was a challenge, and a member died fighting the Elite Four, but I won in the end. Also, my uni just started, so I might be posting less.

Anyways, to celebrate the completion of the Pokemon Y Wonderlocke, let me recap my Top 5 Moments of the Wonderlocke.

5. Every starter I have dying before reaching their final level (at first).
I knew that Charmander is a popular Pokemon, and there will be a high chance of getting it from Wonder Trade, so I picked Charmander as my starter so I could get the mega stone, and I would have a high chance of using it since it's a popular Pokemon. Everything went smoothly for Charmeleon until I reached the Shalour Gym, where a Charmeleon's Fire Fang was countered by Heracross', well, Counter, killing one of my starter off.

He was the first starter Pokemon I have that died, and soon, Monferno and Quiladdin followed suit, all dying before reaching their final evolution. That made me realized that I can't leave my Pokemon unevolved or they will die fighting or training, so that was when I evolved Nidorina straight away.
Fortunately, there was one starter that evolved to it's final evolution, and that was a Greninja, whom I got as a Froakie pretty late in the game (after the 8th gym). And with the training he received, he was one of the members I used to face the Pokemon League, and win.

4. Getting some cool Pokemons from Wonder Trade.
While Wonder Trading is like playing a roulette, I did receive some cool Pokemons, like a Malamar with Contrary, a Sliggoo close to evolving, and even a Lv 7 Leafeon of all things. As a competitive battler, I won't see these guys as good trades from Wonder Trade, but as a Wonderlocke runner, these guys are really useful and helped me a lot in my journeys.

But sometimes, it's not the cool Pokemons that help you in your way, but the unexpected ones. Who knew my team would end up having a Pyroar and a Nidoqueen, and who knew the Flabebe I got from Wonder Trade came in handy as a wall Pokemon. Sometimes, the journey of the Wonderlocke brings some unexpected surprises, and there were many in this one.

3. The unexpected deaths of Mawile, Malamar, and Goodra.
Among some of the party members I have, Mawile and Malamar were two of the longest members in my main party. Mawile was the 2nd Pokemon I received from Wonder Trade, and Malamar was the 3rd. Mawile dying from a Mienshao unexpectedly was rather shocking for me, as I lost a member who was with me since the very beginning.

Malamar and Goodra, both key members in the attack on Team Flare were killed on the way to the Pokemon League right after the final gym, which kind of made me lost some of my team's morale as they were key members. Nonetheless, I moved forward, to a better future with a (hopefully) better team.

2. The Great Battle against Team Flare.
In the battle against Team Flare right after the 7th Gym, 5 of my main members died fighting the criminal organization of Kalos.

First off was Zoroark. One thing I didn't know (that cost me his life) was that Lysandre's Pyroar is faster than I thought, and it was able to take out Zoroark as he was a fragile sweeper. I replaced him and continued forward, fighting the Team Flare scientist one by one.

And then I had a rematch against Scientist Celosia. That was one of the most unluckiest battle I ever faced, and I nearly lost the Wonderlocke because of it.

Her Manectric was easy, but the problem arise when Drapion came up. It used Accupressure, a move that raises a random stat of his by two levels, said stat happens to be evasion of all things. Soon, her Drapion became a monster with +2 Attack, +2 Speed, and worse of all, +4 Evasion. I thought I was a goner since nothing can stand against it. My Drapion, Leafeon and Flourges died to it. Fortunately, Pyroar was able to get through all the bad luck, and landed a Flamethrower on it, killing it off.

My main party used to have 9 Pokemons, and it became 6 because of it. In the meantime, I was training Dragonair at the side, hoping for it to evolve when the time is right.

Meanwhile, the 2nd battle against Lysandre cost me my Raichu's life. It was the 2nd time a Mienshao killed my Pokemon, and suddenly I have not many usable Pokemons left.

Heading towards the basement, I fought more grunts and admins, and my Dragonair finally evolved into a Dragonite, right before the battle against Yveltal.

With Dragonite, I was able to defeat Lysandre one last time without any deaths this time around, thanks to Dragonite and Malamar.

And with that, Team Flare is gone for good, and while many of my Pokemons died in the process, I knew they did well, as they fought well against their enemies.

1. Defeating the Elite Four with minimal casualties (only 1).
The Pokemon League battles were one of the hardest and most stressful battles I ever have to face, second and third being the Team Flare battle and the Victory Road battles.

I have to plan everything right, and obey the rules I've set at the same time so that no one dies.

I faced Malva and Drasna first as they both could be swept easily with Greninja and Dragonite respectively.

Then I faced Wikstrom. While his team takes some thinking, everything went as planned, and he was defeated quickly as well.

However, the Siebold battle was a battle I knew there might be deaths (even though I tried to avoid it). Almost all of his Pokemons are threats to my Pokemon one way or another, and I have to plan my fight correctly.

I started off with Azumarill to face his Clawitzer, defeating it before it defeated me. He sent his Gyarados out, and I switched to Lickilicky. One thing I didn't predict was Waterfall flinching Lickilicky, when let to its eventual death. I was still able to defeat the Gyarados before it wrecked my team. Then, I outstall his Barbacle to make Stone Edge run out of PP so that Dragonite can take it out easily without having a threatening move in his arsenal. Greninja finished off Starmie in the end.

The Elite Four was done, but there was one battle left and I am one Pokemon short. I decided to go for a high risk strategy, which involved Dragonite setting up two Dragon Dance and proceed to sweep the Champion's team.

It worked. While there were some hiccups in between thanks to Gourgeist, I was able to take out her whole team with Dragonite alone, all without breaking my level cap rule (which states that my highest level Pokemons cannot exceed the highest level Pokemon of the next gym leader/champion, which in this case, was 68).

In the end, the Wonderlocke is done, and I was really glad I was able to complete it. This was one of the hardest Nuzlocke challenge I've done because I made so many rules and restrictions to make this challenge as hard as I could think of. With the Wonderlocke complete, I present to you the Wonderlocke Pokemons that entered the Hall of Fame!

Dragonite (received from Karumu) - The Savior of the Wonderlocke. When many Pokemon died in the battle against Team Flare, Dragonair evolved into Dragonite, and was the Shining Beacon of Hope. While he came later than some of the crew, he was by far, the most important member of the team, and is one of the main reasons how I won the challenge.

Pyroar (received from sinite) - The 2nd most important member of the Wonderlocke. Without her, I would not have got passed Celosia's monstrous Drapion.

Nidoqueen (received from Nidlee) - A member of the team received before the 5th gym. Helped me a lot during the 5th and 6th gym battle. Being poison type, she could hold the Black Sludge, which allowed her to heal in this tough Wonderlocke.

Greninja (received from Julian) - While it's just a normal Greninja with no Protean ability, he still prove himself to be the best starter Pokemon in Kalos with his amazing movepool.

Azumarill (received from Une Baguette) - Has Huge Power, but wrong nature. Doesn't matter, still an amazing tank and kicked a lot of ass.

Lickilicky (received from Jeran) - The Tank of the team. When my team lost many of its key tank Pokemons, this Lickitung from took up the challenge. He helped Malamar during the 8th gym battle when Malamar got unlucky and froze from Ice Beam. While he died against the Elite Four, he did not die in vain.

Other members (honourable mentions):
Mawile, Goodra, Malamar, Leafeon, Raichu, Zoroark, Flourges, Heliolisk, Charmeleon, Riolu, Quilladin, and Monferno.

That's all for the Wonderlocke. I don't think I ever wanna do such a tough challenge for now. Going back to breeding and battling.

The Value of Legendary Pokemons in the GTS.

So, with Pokebank open, I decided that I want to complete the National Pokedex. To complete it, you'll have to obtain all the Pokemons from the National Pokedex except for event only Pokemons (like Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, etc.). Obtain means you would have to own it before. If you trade away that Pokemon it is still recorded in your Pokedex as you owning it before. Which is why there is a method people use to trade legendaries called 'Touch-Trading', where one trades to another a legendary Pokemon, and that Pokemon is then traded back to the original owner. The Pokedex still records the data of the legendary and considers that you have owned the legendary (because you did, for a few seconds).

While I do have friends with the complete set of legendary Pokemons, I decide to give myself a challenge by trading away extra copies of legendary Pokemons I have at the GTS, hoping to find good trades to obtain better legendaries. And by the end of the day, I have not only obtained some nice legendaries, but I have also completed the Pokedex entries for non-event legendary Pokemons I do not own.

So, to people having trouble with Legendary Pokemons' data, here's a short guide on how to trade better.

Whether you have access to Pokebank Legendaries or not, the most important thing you should know is the value of your Pokemon. Knowing the value of your Pokemon will enable you to get good trades, and hopefully, reaching your goal of getting legendary Pokemons. One thing you can do is to use Wonder Trade to obtain Pokemons that can only be obtained via Pokebank. If they can be bred, breed it and make your offer on the GTS, and see how lucky or skilled you are at trading.

To get non-event legendaries for trading, you have to know the value of them. So let's rank them from least valuable to most valuable. These are my opinions by the way, so don't take it too seriously.

Zygarde & Mewtwo - Least valuable (Rank D).
They are the most common legendaries you can get. Any player who plays post-game are sure to get one.

Xerneas & Yveltal - Not valuable (Rank C).
Sure, they're version exclusive, but with the release of Pokebank, some may store their legends in there and restart the game, getting another version mascot. Still, they're quite sought after by certain trainers who wants the complete set of legendaries. Also, I think Yveltal is slightly more valuable than Xerneas, as Pokemon X seem to be the more popular version (with Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Charizard X being Fire/Dragon playing a huge role in its popularity).

The Legendary Birds - Not as valuable as you think(Rank C+).
They are quite sought after prior to Pokebank as you'll only get one of the three depending on your starter (and it's quite a pain to get one), but once Pokebank is out, their values drop a lot as the trios are present in many games (Fire Red/Leaf Green, Platinum, Heart Gold/Soul Silver). Nonetheless, some do not know about their value and you can use the birds to get some good trades.

Kyurem, Cobalion, Terrakion, & Virizion - Valuable (Rank B-)
They don't rank as high as other Gen V legendaries as 1. They're not version exclusive, and 2. They're not as hard to get as the other Gen V legends.

Reshiram, Zekrom, Tornadus, & Thundurus - Slightly more valuable (Rank B)
Resh and Zek are mascot legends, and the two Kamis are version exclusive roamers, so they have some value in them compared to those in Rank B-.

Landorus, Cressellia, Heatran, Lake Trio, & Regirock - More Valuable (Rank B+)
Landorus have more value as it is harder to get it in Black/White and can't be obtained in B2/W2 in unless Dream Radar is used. The remaining listed are legendaries that can be obtained easily in B2/W2 and not found in B/W

Regice, Registeel, Regigigias, Latios, Latias - Much more Valuable (Rank B++)
Regice and Registeel's cave can be unlocked by using a key that is exclusive to versions, so you need some with the other game to pass you the key to unlock the cave for the other Regi. Regigigas can only be obtained if you have the Regi trios, and Lati@s is version exclusive in B2/W2.

Lugia, Ho-Oh, Dialga, Palkia & Giratina - Valuable (Rank A)
Can only be obtained in Gen IV, which means more trouble to transfer them over to Gen VI, meaning higher value. Though Dialga and Palkia is slightly more valuable than Giratina since they're version exclusive in D/P even though you can catch both of them in Platinum. Both Lugia and Ho-Oh are equally as valuable as them however.

The Legendary Dogs & the Therian Forms of The Kami Trio- Quite Valuable (Rank A+)
Can be obtained either via Fire Red/Leaf Green or Heart Gold/Soul Silver. Even so, the legendary dog you get depends on the starter you choose, so they are indeed quite rare. The Kami Trio's Therian Forms can only be obtained using the Pokemon Dream Radar 3DS app, and transferred to a copy of Pokemon Black 2 or White 2. Having one of them is pretty rare.

The Weather Trio - Very Valuable (Rank S)
In Gen III, Groudon and Kyogre are slightly more valuable than Rayquaza. In Gen IV's HG/SS, getting Rayquaza is much more difficult than Groudon and Kyogre (which is also quite difficult in it's own right). Therefore they are all very valuable indeed.

Huge Disclaimer:
There are Pokemons (most notably legendaries) that are either cloned or created with methods like Pokegen. Cloned Pokemon do not pose much of a problems other than the having people questioning the Pokemon's authenticity (original or a copy), but a legendary created by Pokegen might to some people. So do be careful when making a trade as you might be trading an authentic Pokemon for a cloned one, or even worse, a hacked one.

So if you have extra legendaries to spare, you can try to trade in the GTS to get the Pokedex entries of Legendary Pokemons. As for me, I don't really mind my legendaries being cloned since I don't use them for battles, it's just obviously hacked Pokemon that I do mind.

Anyways, I shall continue my Pokedex completion quest. So that's all for now.

I'm not dead, I'm just celebrating Chinese New Year.

Yeah, this blog was pretty quiet for the past few weeks. I was busy breeding some new Pokemons, and playing my Wonderlocke. I also had to prepare for Chinese New Year, where I had to do some spring cleaning and stuff.

Anyways, long story short, I bred some new Pokemons, lost and got some new Pokemons from the Wonderlocke, and won some money by gambling during Chinese New Year (it's a thing we do once a year over here). I'm pretty surprised since this is the first year as far as I know where I win money during Chinese New Year gambling sessions.

Which brings me to the next topic, I've won quite a sum of money, which I might spend on my 3DS. But I'm not so sure on what to spend it on. I have two options (and a 3rd one which is to not spend it at all). The first option is to spend it on Bravely Default (it's not enough, so I'll have to top-up some cash), or a 20$ eShop Prepaid (which will mean I have some spare change from buying that, and also means that I'll wait for a secondhand copy of Bravely Default).

Anyways, depending on what happens on Friday, I'll consider buying either one of those. There's a 3DS gathering this Saturday, and a copy of the game will be available for sale. So we'll see whether I get the game or not, or I'll stick to the eShop credit since Pokebank is just around the corner (why isn't it released in US yer?!).

That's all, for now.
