Shiny Gengar haunts U.S. GameStop locations today.Today through October 26, trainers with a copy of Pokémon X or Pokémon Y can receive a special code card containing Shiny Gengar holding a Gengarite Mega Stone at participating GameStop locations. Don't miss out, as I doubtlessly will.

"Red Alert: Renew Immediately" was the subject line GameStop used to let me know I would soon be adrift in a sea of no savings. PowerUp Rewards is serious business. Yikes.
