So, check this out.. I had a 3DS XL, that I had never ever registered, or used the Club Nintendo Pin for. So, when I heard about this offer, I figured, might as well get the Pokémon game for free. So, I tried to register my copy of Super Mario 3D Land, but I had already registered it. I had a copy of Mario Kart 7, but it was just the loose game card. I didn't have the Club Nintendo code. So, I knew, that I had to buy one of these games, or somehow get a code that would work. I went on Ebay, and people were selling codes for about $15.
Then, because I had a loose copy of Mario Kart 7, I decided to look on Ebay for a case / manual combo, that might include the needed code. I got lucky, and found one for about 8 bucks shipped. Snagged it, and had the dude email me the code ahead of time. As I type this, I'm downloading Pokémon y. I'm not really a big Pokémon fan, to be honest, I've never really played a Pokémon game, for more than about 5 minutes. Still, just figured I might as well check it out. I have two young sons that I'm sure will enjoy playing it.
