I haven't been to EB in a few years, is this really what they've become? And for fuck's sake, I hope Nintendo stops doing these store distributions, they're goddamn awful, Why couldn't shit this simple have been done over spotpass?

Post your gamestop Diancie code stories if you have any interesting ones to share.
