I have no idea how that hint relates. There are no Pokémon or e-Reader games which suit those letters.

It's not about that, Mop it up. I'll go ahead and share my theory I'm trying to get UncleBob to confirm. I'm too tired and am going to bed in a few minutes as I just got home. Consider myself out for this round (unless by tomorrow when I get to work you still haven't gotten it)

The hint was Pokemon Acropolis or whatever. You look on Wikipedia and the only thing that stands for is an expansion in the pokemon card game.

First conclusion I came to: Ah, the only pokemon card game is on the Game Boy Color. Therefore the system the games are on is the GBC. After following some leads there that turned to dead ends I returned to the article and read about that specific expansion. It used the e-reader cards.

Second conclusion I came to: Ah, the e-card reader was for the GBA. Therefore they must be GBA games. All I found were leads to dead ends.

Take that as you will and happy hunting to you all.

I already knew all of that. Pokémon Aquapolis is an e-Reader card but there aren't any e-Reader games which fit those letters. Nor any Pokémon games. Nor any Game Boy games.

Did you check lists on Nintendo developed ones?

Mop it up · « **Reply #78 on:** July 19, 2009, 02:51:18 AM »

Yes I have. You'd think that would narrow it down but I have yet to see any Nintendo-developed title which does not have an "I", "O", or "U" in it. Except The Legend of Zelda, but there's no "Z"...

Stratos · « **Reply #79 on:** July 19, 2009, 02:57:48 AM »

Then I'm stumped. I'll sleep on it and get back in the morning.

Well played, UncleBob, well played.

Mop it up · « **Reply #80 on:** July 19, 2009, 03:04:18 AM »

I think the key letter could be the "K". It's the only less-common letter which could help narrow it down.

I don't think I'm going to try any more though. I've looked over lists of titles developed or published by Nintendo for every system and I still see nothing which could fit.

UncleBob · « **Reply #81 on:** July 19, 2009, 11:43:47 AM »

Okay - MEGA hint time.

These are two games for the e-Reader.

vudu · « **Reply #82 on:** July 19, 2009, 12:36:03 PM »

Dream Eater and Sneak and Snatch

FYI, if you visit the eReader list at Wikipedia you'll find a link to the complete game list.

DAMN YOU, BOB!

I knew it wasn't a real game! Those aren't listed on GameFAQs.

That's so evil.

Stratos · « **Reply #84 on:** July 19, 2009, 01:47:01 PM »

LOL, well played.

UncleBob · « **Reply #85 on:** July 19, 2009, 02:35:44 PM »

Wow... that took a lot longer than I thought it would.

Stratos - you'll have your code by the end of the evening.

Really? Cool! I like codes.

Mop it up · « **Reply #87 on:** July 19, 2009, 02:41:30 PM »

Didn't Vudu figure it out?

UncleBob · « **Reply #88 on:** July 19, 2009, 02:42:32 PM »

crap, you're right. Sorry Stratos - Vudu is the winner.

"And I would have gotten away with it too, if you medling kids and that mop, Birdo hadn't interferred" /Scooby Doo generic adult villain impersonation.

I was actually wondering why he was giving it to me. I thought maybe because of how I picked up on the lead.

UncleBob · « **Reply #90 on:** July 19, 2009, 02:46:10 PM »

No, just because I'm an idiot.

Stratos · « **Reply #91 on:** July 19, 2009, 02:48:54 PM »

Hey, I'm just trying to throw myself a few kudos and feel better about myself. Let me think it was because of my brains that you nearly gave me the code

UncleBob · « **Reply #92 on:** July 19, 2009, 02:52:02 PM »

lol... I really can't believe that Mop it up got the Pokémon Aquapolis answer, but it took so long for someone to figure out the games were from within that set...

All well, my FAQs probably got more views today than they have all year.

Stratos · « **Reply #93 on:** July 19, 2009, 02:53:42 PM »

Pepsi code game=UncleBob's scam to get more FAQ views CONFIRMED

Mop it up · « **Reply #94 on:** July 19, 2009, 02:54:06 PM »

The Pokémon Aquapolis card is actually listed on GameFAQs as an e-Reader game. Those other two aren't.

I've gotten word that the 360 and PS3 prizes are still working, while the Wii ones aren't working for anyone. No word on if we're going to lose out on Wii points yet or not... ?

?!?

Good thing I already cashed out almost all of my points. (I highly doubt Nintendo will revoke the games I already downloaded.)

I ran into that last night. Why, oh why did I wait so long to do it?

FYI, here is the error message I'm getting now:

Good news. I'm off to eBay to purchase some more codes!
