Had a look and it turns out the Quick Ball pre-order bonus is a serial code that gives 12 Quick balls in game, seems a bit crap tbh. Was hoping it would be a similar pre-order item like the Pokeball holder they did with X and Y.

Yep, that's what Timer Balls are for.

Wow, after all these years of playing the pokemon games I never knew that :smiley: thanks

nope. best used first turn, if it fails, use ultra balls. interestingly, people often think that repeat balls are for when you've had a high number of turns, which is not the case, theyre for catching pokes you've already caught.

silver and gold partners get a discount. the figure doesnt bother me. from my perspective they look like happy meal toys. im not a pokemon nut so wont really appricate them unless they have at least amiibo quality constrution. steelbooks however just look nice on the shelf. im a silver member too so its only 37 quid ish

If you use a quick ball on your first turn you get a capture rate of 4, after that it's a capture rate of 1. You can get them in game anyway, so it's a nice little bonus rather than something that should swing this deal for you really (pokeball)

Hmm, I thought it was a pokeball that worked better on quick pokemon?

ahhhhh....wish i could still get a couple of pints for £6 in the south east :wink:

err.. its a pokeball that's more effective the earlier in a battle its used.

£37.36 for me for some reason.
Not quire sure how I'm a Gold Partner though.

​Ahh, that makes more sense. For some reason it didn't click with me that this was the Steelbook version. So you are right, it's a good deal.

Yeah but I'm a fan of collecting meaningless stuff, so I don't mind little things like that for the price of a couple of pints :laughing:

Have you seen it? The figure that came with the X and Y steelbook looked like something you might find in a kinder egg, albeit slightly (emphasis on slightly) larger

Are you trying to be smart because if you couldn't tell, this is the steelbook edition ....lol

in game quick balls lol

I have this on preorder at GAME for £45. Is the figure worth the extra £5... hmmm

Yes I've just seen that it doesn't come with the figure so not the best deal.

I don't think you can compare the steelbook version price to the non steelbook version though? So the price is £44.99 including figure or this not including the figure. I'll stick with the figure version having realised this doesn't include it :laughing:

Not really, Gameseek have it for £31.99 (if you can trust them not to screw the order), 365 Games have it for £32.95. Even the Nintendo Store have this for £39.99 and that comes with a figure. This seems to be quite expensive in all honesty.
