How to redeem your Pokemon Scrap codes

**Updated 2016 write up is here**

For those who can get #pokemon scrap codes but can't read Japanese, here's a detailed guide on registering an account and redeeming the codes with screencaps! Just remember that you need a Japanese ORAS to use the in-game codes to put in your 3DS.

So for those who don't know what it is, Pokemon Scrap is a Japanese Pokemon event running from the end of 2014 to the beginning of 2015. You receive codes from buying certain Pokemon merchandise that you redeem on a web site for in-game codes. A lot of people are really interested in them because you can get Shaymin, Keldeo and Victini in ORAS. If you're interested, flick me a message on Facebook, Twitter, eBay or YouTube.

1. Go to the Pokemon Scrap web site at https://pokescrap2014.pokemon.co.jp/. Tick the square box to agree to the terms and conditions, and the red and blue buttons will appear. Click on the red button to make a new account or the blue one to log in.

2. Type in your email twice and click the red box to submit. Afterwards, check your email for a confirmation mail.

 3. In the email, there will be a link. Click on it and it will take you back to the Pokemon Scrap web site.

4.  You'll be asked to make a password between 6 and 12 digits. Type it in twice and then click the red button to submit.

 5. The next page is a short survey that you can fill out as you wish. The questions are age (put in number), gender (male is left, female is right), where in Japan you live (you can just pick a random one under the first choice), how you found out about Pokemon Scrap (you can just tick a random one)...

 6. ...which Pokemon Scrap item you purchased for the Scrap code (the first option is for the booster cards, otherwise, pick a random one), and if you have ORAS (the first option is yes, which I hope you do if you're going to redeem the codes ^_^). Click the red button to submit your answers.

 7. The next page is just to confirm your answers. Click the red button to continue.

 8. This is just the thank you page. Click the red button to continue.

9.  The Scrap page has a little picture of your Scrap code progress. Just scroll past this part...

10. ... and at the bottom of the page is the part where you put the Scrap code in. You can put in 5 at a time! Handy. Press the red button when you're done.

11.  To claim the in-game codes, click on the 3rd link from the left along the top yellow bar. It should show you how many codes have been redeemed (in the screen cap, you can see the big red 2), as well as the in-game items. To see the code for each corresponding item, click on the red button below them.

 I hope everyone enjoys the lengendaries and the items if you manage to get them :)
