Got bored of the demo days away. But yesterday was two weeks after downloading it, so I checked.

Entered to Steven's house... since there's no obvious spot* to evolve Magnezone/Probopass, I wonder if these Coronet/Chargestone stones at Steven's house can trigger the evolution.
_________________________
* Arguably that spot should be New Mauville, but since Magnezone and Probopass didn't exist back in Gen III, I wonder if GF will keep as it is "just for consistency".

Evolving in his house? XD
Why not? XD

Still less complicated than Sylveon :lol:

The thing is, how are you going to level up your pokemon within Steven's house? Unless he has some secret grass patch in his backyard or something, you'll have to use a Rare Candy inside his house for that
Facepalm, didn't think about that. You're right .
 
Oh, could it be that I didn't get it since it didn't really go through 15 times of 24 hours cycles yet? maybe it literally is 15 days from the moment you started playing it, rather than "on the 15th day of playing"? I don't know... I guess we'll see tomorrow...

Could be, cause I didn't get it on the day I expected it either (when most people got it, who got the Demo on the 15th)
But if you still don't have it by tomorrow, then something's wrong

It could also be at least partly due to the internal clock being changed. I've noticed that any game, not just stuff like demos, that rely on the DS/3DS internal clock for certain things can be jolted by a change in it. For example, I was unable to access the Lotto ID in Y for two days because I changed the 3DS clock, as the game registered the change as the same day twice. So it is possible that the internal clock is at fault in one way or another. But try again tomorrow, since, if that's the case, it may take an extra day due to the internal system change.

I guess it might be that, we'll see what happens tomorrow. Didn't most of you guys also set the clock one hour back recently too? I wonder if anyone here did that and can tell us if it affected anything...

Eh, they could just change it to: "You touched the magnetized rock! What? Magneton/Nosepass is evolving!"
 
160 softresets and nothing. I'll just play over and over the missions until I get that super rare Team Aqua/Magma secret mission.

It reminds me of Pokemon Adventures - Ruby's Skitty evolves by accidentally touching Steven's Moon Stone. It would be a nice shout out if Steven had all the necessary evolutionary stones (they change each day, like a Fire Stone on Monday, ThunderStone on Tuesday...) in his house and we can just go and touch them.
 
Still no Nugget mission for me... this is the 16th day of playing, cleared it close to 30 times already. I can't think of anything else aside from them being stupid and having some time setting protection. Did anyone else set the clock one hour back recently and can tell me if they still ended up getting the Nugget mission or not?

I did, but I'd already gotten the Nugget Mission before that, so my guess is that's what screwed with the Nugget Mission
 
So no one here changed the time before getting the Nigget mission?...

I have, though I still haven't gotten the Nugget mission, either. Daylight Savings does tend to mess up the game clock, which always provides at least one headache with time-based things. I'm still trying, too, so you're not the only one who's having trouble.

Oh, ok, thanks. I just didn't see anyone else complaining until now so I wondered. I guess it IS because of that then. Ugh, that's annoying... they should have expected this to be an issue when they released the demo just around the time a lot of us would be setting the clock one hour back... oh well. I guess we should recount 15 days now from the day we changed the clock...
 
I accidentally deleted the e-mail that had my ORAS code :(

Does anyone know if there is a way for Nintendo to re-send the code? Or am I out of luck?

e} Got it!

I got the Nugget mission today, and my clock was automatically adjusted for DST.

how does your 3DS automatically adjust the time? Mine doesn't do that (as far as I'm aware)
cause i reckon if it does that on it's own, it won't screw with things like the demo
