Us release when?
I think steel driver has been getting regular updates, so at least they think it's something worth pursuing. No idea about Rusty, but I have a secret if Nintendo wants to make more money out of it:
RELEASE THE DAMN GAME IN EUROPE, YOU BASTARDS.
Also, has anyone tried tricking the game modifying the internal time in the console? Maybe it raises some red flags if you try the online component of the game, but it shouldn't be a problem for the main offline game, right?
Thanks!
.. and still only a 23% catch chance. FU Pichu!
I know completionist are not going to care, but

I'll get my free Club Nintendo stars and then swiftly delete it. Kind of sad to see Nintendo making freemium trash like this but I suppose its an easy cash grab these days, especially with a license as popular as Pokemon.
What list?
One I'm keeping on my site
Still a work in progress, but as I'm running the Japanese game, I'm missing bits.But don't worry, it was just an idle thought. Don't expect anyone to do it. I can get them all

I can't believe that you lose hearts even if you win, I'm not sure how people are even on Level 150 yet, are you paying?

I think honestly that ruins Puzzles and Dragons."Oh hey, this is pretty cool"

Cannot wait for the 3DS release. I am burnt out on timer games.

The list here? Cos it's been broken most of the day. Was fine first thing!
Yep, I am also super hyped for P&DZ (+ Mario Edition), loved the iOS version but after some weeks, I hit a wall and everything is super hard.
I would gladly farm/grind but then, stamina force you to wait/buy IAP.
May can't come soon enough.

Only done the first ten stages (maybe twenty minutes of gameplay), but I've been receiving a jewel that can be exchanged for five hearts both times I've run out of hearts so far. I imagine this generosity is going to end very soon.

I managed to do it my first try on a 20% catch rate once I had Mega Audino lol
Really? I had the Mega Audino too but I just barely managed to take out half of its health.
I gotta admit, it's actually really satisfying when you catch a Pokemon in this game. Too bad it's satisfying for all the wrong reasons.
I just got him. I'm at stage 25 with 3 sinister type pokemons, not leveled up or anything. Managed to reach 56% or something, so it shouldn't be hard to get in 3 weeks.
Yeah, accidentally killed the dex array. Fixed it now though.
Same here, really digging it - leveling up my favorites over a long period will be fun.
Right. Here's how things run down for me so far after my first day of coverage
Money spent: 4800¥
Hearts purchased: 240
Coins purchased: 96000
Playtime: 12:45
Pokémon Seen: 153
Pokémon Caught: 92
StreetPasses: 3
Jewels Remaining: 12
With those 12 Jewels, I can get another 80 hearts and be able to catch many more Pokémon. Not too bad really.

Did you get a jewel for each StreetPass, or just the first?

Man what is going on with the Torchic stage?
5 moves? I can't finish with higher than a 10% capture chance, it's rough.

Yeah, some of the stages just seem like you won't be getting high rates at all. Pichu was another.
Hehe yeah.. I got Pichu on my 2nd attempt but got Torchic on my first try, even with only 5%.
Wait for the EX stages. They're brutal. You're lucky to get through them, and even then it's a 1% chance
Enjoying this quite a bit actually. I bought Link Battle in a sale last year and in some ways I prefer this - they aren't as similar as I thought they'd be.
I mean, it's Candy Crush, at the end of the day, but leveling stuff up is quite enjoyable and even though low catch rates are designed to make you spend money it's quite fun to catch something that seemed unlikely at first. I got lucky first time with the Torchic stage.
I've always thought these types of games charged way too much for "micro"transactions. If I felt like carrying on playing for a bit, I'd be ok with putting down 20-50p to replenish five hearts. But 90p gets me one heart, and the game just isn't worth the money. As it is I'm happy to just check in every few hours.

I don't think that's correct. 90p gives you one gem that you can exchange for 5 hearts.

I despaired when I saw that 1%, then laughed when the purchasable Great Ball brought it up to 2%.
It's annoying that the percentage is largely based on how well you do, and how well you do is certainly determined by luck due to how the playing field is designed and how you'll need to rely on big combos. I did finish an EX stage with 22% once, which doubled to 44% after using a Great Ball...
...which failed. Now I'm out of coins again, I don't have the patience for this.
Since there's no OT and there's more talk in this topic than the NA one... I'm really enjoying this actually, and I really wish there was a "buy once" option because I would pick this over Trozei easily if not for the stamina and IAP BS.
But on to my question... is there any point at which you can disable the annoying hint squares?

I'd like to know this also - they're pretty annoying.
And almost never give your best pick. I wouldn't mind if they appeared after 30 seconds or so, but now they distract me.
