Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire - Nationals Gift

Every year, when you go to the National Championships, you will get the opportunity to download a special gift distribution of a Pokémon.

This Pachirisu is Level 50 with its Hidden Ability Volt Absorb and the moves Nuzzle, Follow Me, Super Fang & Protect. It is highly likely that this distribution will also run in the UK Nationals on May 30th/31st, Italian Nationals on June 13th & 14th and probably the US Nationals in July, but these have yet to be confirmed.

Pokémon ORAS - Global Link Details

Following the maintenance that took place today for Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, some changes were made to the Global Link system. Firstly, following the change on April 3rd after emergency maintenance caused by a glitch involving nicknamed Pokémon resulting in nicknames having to be shown in order to resolve it, the Battle Spot has reverted back to no longer showing Pokémon's nicknames for opponents in battle.
In addition to that, they have stated that they have improved the hack check system and that if a player is detected to have hacked Pokémon while connected to the Battle Spot, they will be disconnected. This disconnection will not result in an alteration in the other player's rating or win/loss record. Standard disconnections will still result in a change of rating and record, even if it was due to unstable internet.

To get involved, Click here for the discussion forum
Today, we are covering a Pokémon introduced in the third generation. It can sometimes knock out opponents with the shock created by breaching and crashing its big body onto the water. The biggest of all Pokémon. It can dive to a depth of almost 10,000 feet on only one breath. Wailord is the largest of all identified Pokémon up to now. This giant Pokémon swims languorously in the vast open sea, eating massive amounts of food at once with its enormous mouth. When chasing prey, Wailord herds them by leaping out of the water and making a humongous splash. It is breathtaking to see this Pokémon leaping out of the sea with others in its pod. So here it is, the seventy-eighth entry, Wailord.

Who's That Pokémon

Today marks the seventy-fifth entry into the Generation VI competitive field with a Sinnoh Pokémon. These entries are created by the visitors for the visitors and then compiled by our writers Miror, Archangel, jesusfreak94, Ragnarok, KillerDraco, KingTorterra & UR2L8. To get involved, Click here for the discussion forum
Today, we are covering a Pokémon introduced in the fourth generation. They work in large colonies and make rings by linking their tails, apparently in friendship. To eat, it deftly shucks nuts with its two tails. It rarely uses its arms now. Split into two, the tails are so adept at handling and doing things, Ambipom rarely uses its hands. So here it is, the seventy-fifth entry, Ambipom.

Pokémon Rumble World

During today's Nintendo Direct, a new game was revealed. This game is Pokémon Rumble World, known in Japan as Everyone's Pokémon Scramble, the game whose existence became known to us when its Australian classification was publicised two weeks ago. This game is the fourth game in the Pokémon Rumble series and is being released on Nintendo 3DS on April 8th in North America, Europe and Japan. It is a free to play title, where you can recover your Pokémon using PokéDiamonds which you can find in game, earn via StreetPass or purchase in the in-game store. You can also spend PokéDiamonds to get to various new areas in the game. This game features over 700 Pokémon including Primal Groudon & Primal Kyogre.
Edit @ 23:43: Created a page with Pre-Release Screenshots
Edit @ 00:02: Maximum price scheme for Pokémon Rumble World in Japan: 3,000 PokéDiamonds for 4800 Yen
Edit @ 23:56: Added the trailer
Edit @ 00:17: To play the game, you have to select an area by using a special hot air balloon. This costs a variety of Jewels, base being around 10 with it likely getting higher as you get further in. Then, when you select the area, you get a roulette of several stages to pick. Sometimes, stages are visited by rare Pokémon and this is indicated by stars on the roulette. As you collect more Pokémon, your adventure rank increases, and more wild Pokémon start to appear. When you use a balloon, you have to wait for it to reflate before you can use that specific balloon, or you can use PokéDiamonds to speed it up. You can also spend PokéDiamonds to get various bonuses such as an increase in the amount of Pokémon you can have and boosts in strength
When you StreetPass a player, you get a special mission where you have to protect their Mii from a wild Pokémon attack. When you do, they will appear in stages and give you a bonus: Attack Support, which boosts Attack, Defense Support which boosts Defense, Speed Support which boosts your Pokémon's Speed and Recovery Support which will heal you.
