Today, we are covering a Pok�mon introduced in the third generation. It can clear a 30-story building in a leap. Its fiery punches scorch its foes. When facing a tough foe, it looses flames from its wrists. Its powerful legs let it jump clear over buildings. It learns martial arts that use punches and kicks. Every several years, its old feathers burn off, and new, supple feathers grow back in their place. Flames spout from its wrists, enveloping its knuckles. Its punches scorch its foes. So here it is, the fourth entry, Blaziken & Mega Blaziken.

Pok�mon X & Y - Wobbuffet Event

A new Pok�mon X & Y event has been announced for Japan. This event ties in with the Pok�mon Tretta arcade game. In the new set, there is a specific Wobbuffet Tretta (either Normal or Super Class) and, if you take it to either the World Hobby Fair on January 19th, 25th, 26th/February 2nd/9th or to the Pok�mon Card Battle Festa on December 15th/23rd, you have the opportunity to use that Tretta in a special machine. When you do so, this sends out the signal for you to download Wobbuffet onto Pok�mon X & Y. Once done, the Tretta is replaced by a blank Tretta puck and cannot be used in the arcade game again. We'll provide specifics on the Wobbuffet as we get them

Pok�mon Tretta Lab - New Update

For those of you who have imported it, a new patch has been released for Pok�mon Tretta Lab.

You know you have the patch due to the listing of the game being Version 1.2 on the top right of the title screen. The patch is just 34 blocks and is easy to download through the QR Code here
In addition to that, several more downloads of data occur when you begin the programme. It's not clear what they updated at this time, but it's likely to allow for new modes brought in by the new set

10:30: A thing that has been in question for a while since the launch of the game has been clarified. In the status screen for Pok�mon, and seen in trades and in the box, you may have noticed a blue pentagon next to your Pok�mon. The meaning of this had yet to be determined, but has been partially revealed today. This pentagon is a confirmation of being obtained in-game. If your Pok�mon has this, it confirms it was obtained legitimately in-game or through event. If not, then it has an error and has been hacked, or potentially from another region.
Edit @ 16:01: The literal definition of this pentagon, given by the Pok�mon Company, is that the Pok�mon is ok to use. This came from the rules of the upcoming Dragon tournament in Japan where, on looking deeper into the fine print, it is stated that Pok�mon that were transferred from Black, White, Black 2 & White 2 cannot be used. There is a possibility that the mark could be for Pok�mon obtained natively in the Kalos region, with other marks for Pok�mon transferred, but this will not be made clear until December 25th when Pok�mon Bank is released

09:50: Continuing what we started last week, we have updated the Pok�dex for X & Y with in-depth details for Egg Moves. At the moment, we only list possible parents with Level Up moves, with the parents who know it as an Egg Move to come in the coming weeks. If no Pok�mon is listed for an Egg move, that means it's a move it gets through chain breeding.

11:27: Created a page on Inverse Battles, including the special type chart for it.
16:13: As many have requested, over the past few weeks we have been cataloguing Egg Moves. Although we were going to wait to list chains and everything and bring it all at once, the demand has been high and so we're starting to compile the Egg Moves list as it is. The Pok�dex for X & Y has been updated with the Egg Moves for the new Pok�mon from Chespin up to Noivern. We'll add more over the coming weeks so keep checking back. Like before, this is manually entered so if you notice any errors or omissions, let me know.

We also have the bulk of the game catalogued and covered in our XY section. If there's anything you wish to see me cover, feel free to contact me
08:08: I've been going over whether or not I should post these. Typically, I post the Mythical Pok�mon as soon as we can, but things have made me rather skittish of late, especially as these are not from us. So as to not spoil people, I'll throw them in this spoiler tag so be warned as it contains major spoilers
X & Y Details:

13:00: We have updated the XY Pok�dex with the level up and TM moves of Pok�mon from Unova that are also available in X & Y outside the Kalos Pok�dex. Like before, this has all been hand entered so there may be a couple of errors here and there so let me know if you spot any. For evolved Pok�mon, as per the standard, it includes the previous evolution's moves at the same level.
16:34: Updated the Trainer Customisation page with details on the locations of female clothing
