Crossover Release Date [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 17 Jan 2012 at 10:17pm PST Updated on 17 Jan 2012 at 10:45pm PST
Despite today being the Blackout, we do have some news to report. Pokemon Ranse (aka, Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition) is getting released in Japan on March 17th. No announcements have been made regarding if the game will be released outside of Japan. Other than that, I think I can accurately summarize the news as "the Victini movie has aired around the world" and that's pretty much it. There have been a few TCG announcements as well, mostly the official site revealing cards from the upcoming Next Destinies expansion that will be released on February 8. Also coming is the debut of the TCG's Dragon type in the Japanese Dragon Selection 20-card, all holographic mini-set, which will be released in Japan next week to celebrate Chinese New Year for Year of the Dragon. So far Haxorus, Rayquaza, Druddigon, and Salamence's families have been confirmed for Dragon Selection, with the numbering scheme implying that Dragonite, Altaria, Latias and Latios's families will be present along with two of Palkia, Dialga or Giratina, and either the Hydreigon line or Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem. We hope that your holidays and end of 2011 treated you well, and that the start of 2012 is treating you even better. To everyone settling in for the start of their spring semester, good luck on all your studies.

Global Link, Pokemon Center, and McDonald's Events [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 21 Dec 2011 at 6:10pm PST Updated on 22 Dec 2011 at 5:13pm PST
Following up the recent game announcement, here's a few other upcoming events, mostly for Japan. The Thick Fat Mamoswine that's been available throughout Europe is now available pretty much worldwide through the Global Link, with the password POKEMONDOTCOM. A set of 6 Pokemon who evolve into Dragon-Types will be available beginning next month in Japan. Though there are 6 different Pokemon available, there are only 4 separate distributions (one each week) and a game can only receive one egg per distribution. Shaymin will be distributed to Black and White games in Pokemon Center stores across Japan leading up to the release of the Dragon Egg event. The final Pokemon distribution are a pair of Thundurus and Tornadus to celebrate their appearance in the anime. Depending on which version you're playing, you'll get the one normally not available, meaning you can also unlock Landorus. Lastly, Japanese McDonald's stores will be giving away a set of Pokemon toys in their Happy Meals for the next few weeks.

Befriending a Pokemon, New Crossover Game, New Movie [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 18 Dec 2011 at 8:26pm PST
It's been a busy time for all of us, so I apologize for the lack of news posts recently. There is a bit to report now, however. First off, the results of the Vote to Befriend a Pokemon poll have been posted. Arceus, who has no special ability in the Dream World, took first place. The password to unlock it will be revealed in February. The rest of the Top 10 from the poll are, with bolded names having special Dream World abilities, Mudkip, Ditto, Mew, Magikarp, Deoxys, Darkrai, Celebi, Pikachu, and Rayquaza. The other big news right now (which our Facebook fans have already seen) is that a new crossover game, Pokemon Ranse, has been announced. The game mixes Pokemon with Feudal Japan, specifically the classic game series Nobunaga's Ambition by Koei - who may be better known in the English-speaking world for their Samurai Warriors games, featuring the same characters. The game is due out for the DS next year. The next Pokemon Movie has been announced, which features Kyurem.

Nintendo Events, Global Link, New Pokemon Center, TCG [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 22 Nov 2011 at 8:51pm PST Updated on 24 Nov 2011 at 9:11am PST
I've added a bunch more Nintendo Events to the list. A Croagunk has been announced for nearly worldwide distribution, and more details in regards to the previously announced Blissey and Altaria have been added. The Tohoku area of Japan, which was hit by the large earthquake and tsunami earlier this year, will be giving away a Snivy at the new Pokemon Center Store opening there. Time is running out to Vote to Befriend a Pokemon. Currently Arceus is still in the lead, with Ditto in second and Mew in third. Frost updated the TCG section with the recently released Noble Victories a while ago, too. Check out Frost's latest Psyblog if you want to see most of the cards of the set, as he did a booster box opening for Noble Victories as well.

Nintendo Events and Social Media [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 8 Nov 2011 at 7:38pm PST
First off, the more official news. Until the end of the month, players can Vote to Befriend a Pokemon on the official site. Meanwhile in Japan, Global Link users will have the opportunity to obtain an Altaria and a Blissey later this month. Shoppers can also vote in stores on a mascot Pokemon which will be available for download early next year. Starting next month, the Nintendo WiFi Connection will be giving away a special Victini, the same as was distributed in Japan for the release of the 14th movie(s). On a related note, the V for Victini Sweepstakes began yesterday. Weekly prizes include toys and TCG tins, and the grand prize adds a 3DS and Black & White! Now, as for us, we're expanding our social media efforts again. We now offer a Google+ Page that you can circle to keep up with us. This is in addition to our other pages on Facebook and Twitter, which will continue to be updated as well. The options to share our news stories will be updated accordingly.

Nintendo Event Updates [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 26 Oct 2011 at 8:54pm PDT
Sorry about the downtime today. Our hosts upgraded part of the server and things didn't get reset correctly. Since then, I've gone and updated the Nintendo Events list with some corrections to older entries, and the current Global Link giveaways of Mamoswine and Banette.

TCG Giveaways, Tournaments, 3D Updates, and Twitter [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 13 Oct 2011 at 5:55pm PDT
News has been pretty slow lately, which is fine by me because I've been incredibly busy. First up, the 3D Pokedex app has been updated for those of you who have a 3DS but haven't checked in a while. The update adds more functionality to the AR Viewer, but you have to manually run the update. Next up, our friends at ZeldaInformer are running another League Challenge. If you're in to competitive battling, make sure to sign up and get started! Then, the official Pokemon site has spun off a sweepstakes to win TCG Boxes and a grand prize including a 3DS. There are 25 winners each week, and you can register yourself once a day. The grand prize is drawn next month. In news that I'm sure has Frost absolutely thrilled, Junichi Masuda posted to his Twitter yesterday hinting at the intent to release updated version of the Gen III titles, Ruby and Sapphire. He says the games are important to him and he wants to do well. While not an official announcement, it's certainly something worth noting. Lastly, because myself and the rest of the staff have been so busy lately (and likely will continue to be), I've promoted two of our forum staff, Serpentsounds and Rhapsody, to the rank of Reporter and given them the ability to write up news posts for the main site here. They'll do a better job of posting news in a timely fashion than I can. Congrats to the both of them.

Psypoke Idol Final Scores, Psydex Updates [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 25 Sep 2011 at 6:45pm PDT
The 3rd year of Psypoke Idol has ended. First, it was Mew. Then it was Lugia. The third Pokemon to claim victory in Psypoke Idol is... Typhlosion with 3.7036 stars. The rest of the round broke down as follows: Charizard with 3.6902 stars, Dragonite with 3.6686 stars, Umbreon with 3.6371 stars, Tyranitar with 3.6249 stars, Mew with 3.5934 stars, Arcanine with 3.5845 stars, Blaziken with 3.5575 stars, Rayquaza with 3.5574 stars, and Espeon with 3.5546 stars finishing out the Top 10. The middle tier were Flygon with 3.5522 stars, Lugia with 3.5397 stars, Lucario with 3.5354 stars, Mewtwo with 3.5071 stars, Blastoise with 3.5024 stars, Swampert with 3.4630 stars, Lapras with 3.4551 stars, Metagross with 3.4426 stars, Latios with 3.4253 stars, and Scizor with 3.4105 stars. The Bottom 10 were Articuno with 3.3978 stars, Salamence with 3.3967 stars, Zekrom with 3.3903 stars, Gengar with 3.3800 stars, Sceptile with 3.3700 stars, Venusaur with 3.3669 stars, Feraligatr with 3.3581 stars, Zapdos with 3.2949 stars, Ho-oh with 3.2317 stars, and Kyogre with 3.2232 stars. In more significant news, Frost has rewritten several of the entries in the TechDex for accuracy and proper use of the English language. We've also fixed the issue of the Body Style data for Gen V never being imported into the Psydex, so all the Gen V Pokemon will be accurate in that regard now as well. So, now that Psypoke Idol is over, how do you feel about the result? Who did you want to win? Who do you think will win the competition next time?

Upcoming Movies, Games, and Events [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 18 Sep 2011 at 3:26pm PDT
Time to catch up on news. First off, the 14th Movie has been announced for English release. Depending on which version you want to see, there's Pokemon the Movie: Black - Victini and Reshiram and Pokemon the Movie: White - Victini and Zekrom coming out this December. There will also be a limited theatrical release for the films. The two films are nearly identical, except for which legendary co-stars in a given version. For games, the European release date for Super Pokemon Rumble has been set for December 2nd. Yes, this is the same game as Pokemon Rumble Blast in the US and Super Pokemon Scramble in Japan - it seems Nintendo doesn't want to call the game the same thing in any two regions. Upcoming Events for Japan include an Anniversary Mewtwo to celebrate the 1-year anniversary of Black and White's release in Japan. For the US, a Halloween event to obtain Banette has been announced. Note that you must be logged in to an account registered to a country where the event will take place in order to see the announcement. Little details are given, so the Events List will be updated once we know more. In addition, a Birthday Togekiss is available to players worldwide during their birthday month. Simply log in to the Pokemon Trainer's Club to collect yours! Thanks to our forum member Cherrygrove for confirming this for us.

Idol's Final Round + Wild Cards [permalink]
Posted by Frost on 17 Sep 2011 at 9:07pm PDT Updated on 17 Sep 2011 at 9:15pm PDT
In the final semifinals group of Idol 3, the top ten advancing Pokemon were Dragonite, 3.9502 stars; Arcanine, 3.8518 stars; Lugia, 3.7805 stars; Blaziken, 3.7698 stars; Mew, 3.7512 stars; Lucario, 3.7491 stars; Scizor, 3.7416 stars; Gengar, 3.6984 stars; Sceptile, 3.6368; and Lapras, 3.6346. As is typical in later rounds, all of the advancing Pokemon had a lower average than they had in earlier rounds. Just missing out in the finals (and as wild cards, since all ten of Group 1's Pokemon who were the closest to advancing had higher averages than the #11 Pokemon in Group 2) included Vaporeon, with 3.6116 stars; Gardevoir, with 3.6029 stars; Suicune, with 3.6017 stars; Jolteon, with 3.5831 stars; and Dragonair, with 3.5573 stars. The bottom five of the round were Togekiss, 3.1679; Totodile, 3.1288; Dratini, 3.1271; Heracross, 3.1208; and Haunter, 3.0885. Since this is the last round of Idol and there are no more eliminations, I've decided to let the top thirty vote-getters in the third round take part in the finals. This in particular is because Venusaur and Zekrom were in the top TWENTY of round three based on overall average, but didn't make it into the final round, which was originally planned to have twenty Pokemon, because Group 1 had much higher averages than Group 2 overall. So in addition to the twenty Pokemon who advanced from Round 3 automatically, added to the final rounds are the remaining Pokemon with the highest overall averages: Venusaur, Zekrom, Salamence, Latios, Articuno, Swampert, Feraligatr, Kyogre, Ho-oh and Zapdos. Vote for your favorite! The winner of this round takes the whole game!
