Today, we are covering a Pok�mon introduced in the first generation. In ancient literature, there is a record of a Gyarados that razed a village when violence flared. Rarely seen in the wild. Huge and vicious, it is capable of destroying entire cities in a rage. They say that during past strife, Gyarados would appear and leave blazing ruins in its wake. Once it begins to rampage, a Gyarados will burn everything down, even in a harsh storm. In addition to this, we have a subsection on the Mega Evolution to Gyarados.

Pok�mon - Nintendo Direct

Within today's Nintendo Direct, a new Pok�mon game was announced. This game is Pok�mon Link: Battle in Europe and Pok�mon Battle Trozei in North America and is available on the 3DS eShop from March 12th in Japan, March 13th in Europe and March 20th in North America. This game has 4 player co-op and is a sequel to Pok�mon Trozei. It contains all currently available Pok�mon for you to capture and catalogue. It will cost 762 Yen in Japan, and $7.99 in North America with European prices not known
This game continues the mechanics of Pok�mon Trozei and has you have to line up multiple Pok�mon in order to clear the lines of Pok�mon in order to get a chance to capture a Pok�mon which is sitting above the box. On occasion, you'll be attacked by the Pok�mon, adding to the challenge of the game. This game, unlike its predecessor, features various levels where Pok�mon can be found for capture. Using StreetPass, you can share your favourites with your friends. You won't lose your Pok�mon, but it allows for the people you StreetPass with to get them. All levels move quickly, and are completeable in a few minutes. You can rack up combos of over 100 in the game, and can move Pok�mon even when being captured
If you connect 4 Pokemon, then get a couple of threes, you can earn Trozei Chances which makes it so you can only connect two Pok�mon at a time, increasing the combo amount. Types also come into factor when you're connecting Pok�mon, in order to do damage to the big wild Pok�mon. As before, Ditto will act as any Pok�mon, but this time Chansey will heal you. The more times you use a Pok�mon, the closer they get to you, and they do more damage when they're connected
