GameStop surveyed its PowerUp Rewards members to find out what their most anticipated games of the holiday season are. Final Fantasy XV and Battlefield took the first and second spots respectively, but Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon followed in third place. In case you’re curious, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition rounded out the rest of the top five.

Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon have already done very well at GameStop. The two releases experienced the highest pre-orders in five years.

Arceus was distributed in Pokemon X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire a few months ago. However, players needed to visit certain retailers – such as GameStop in the United States – in order to obtain a code. Now the distribution is running again, and you won’t need to head to your local store this time around.

If you’re in North America, enter the code “Arceus20”. Those in PAL regions can use the code “Arceus2016”.

Note that if you’ve already received Arceus, you won’t be able to download the Pokemon for a second time.

If you intend to pick up Super Mario Maker for 3DS on Friday, you may want to grab the game’s first update from the eShop. Indeed: version 1.01 is already live. So long as you have 158 blocks (19.75 MB) of free space available, you should be able to download it.

Super Mario Maker for 3DS version 1.01 isn’t a minor update. In fact, you’ll need it in order to access the Course World. Without it, you won’t be able to play the Recommended Courses or 100 Mario Challenge modes.
