While E3 might be about bringing the news this week, Pokémon Shuffle is about bringing the repeats. First up is a fight for some Gardevoirite. As with other Mega-evolution stages, this is a competitive stage that lasts until June 21st, where only the best players will earn the desired rewards. To earn the Gardevoirite, you’ll have to be one of the top 22,000 players in North America, 15,000 in Europe, or top 60,000 in Japan. Additional bonuses will be given to people who rank even higher, with the top 3,600 in North America, 2,400 in Europe, and 10,000 in Japan earning a Mega Speedup, and the top 1,100 in North America, 800 in Europe and top 3,000 in Japan also winning a Raise Max Level. The top 30,000 in North America, 20,000 in Europe and 80,000 in Japan will get an Attack Power, and all other players will get a Disruption Delay. Players who qualify but already have the Gardevoirite will get a Level Up.

Additionally, stages for Kabutops, Omastar, and Dialga are all returning until June 28th.

4 Corner Games has (sort of) revealed their upcoming Wii U and other platform game, Monochrono. The 2017 game will be a twin-stick shooter, where the player can manipulate time to take out the hundreds of enemies they face. The E3 trailer, which you can watch below, doesn’t actually show too much about the game, save for the screenshot seen above. It does, however, give a few teases about the game’s content.

4 Corner Games provides more details about the game in the video’s description.

Monochrono is a twin-stick shooter broken into ten second chunks, with hundreds of independently intelligent enemies on screen and a clear mission. Players can, at any point, hold down a button to slow down time in the world by a factor of three, providing the essential hook of the game: players can strategize, position themselves appropriately, and release the button to hit their enemies. Because the player them self is not slowed down by the mechanic, it provides an essential layer of strategy that the game is built around.
When players play Monochrono upon its 2017 release, they will find themselves presented with many options and gameplay modes, including a fully fleshed out story campaign, an endless survival mode, a challenge mode with a stricter mission structure that sees players attempting to clear a challenge while completing three distinctly designed challenges, a local multiplayer mode, and many more unannounced features, modes, and unlockables.
The announcement of the title is just the beginning. Fans can stay tuned to 4cornergames.com, as well as follow @4CornerGames and @Monochrono on Twitter to stay in touch about the game’s development, including frequent developer blogs, screenshots, updates, and more. Direct gameplay footage as well as more feature announcements will be coming within the upcoming weeks, and those interested in the title will not want to miss it!

In a bit of a surprise, a new stage featuring Eevee has come to Pokemon Shuffle, both the 3DS and mobile versions. The stage will appear irregularly on Thursdays and only last for that day. Furthermore, the stage can only be played once a day (although additional plays can be bought for Jewels). However, players also have a chance on the stage to earn Skill Booster S and Skill Booster M items.

I like Pokémon Shuffle’s weekly updates! They’re comfy and easy to play! This week’s update is the same for both the 3DS and mobile versions and adds in a new challenge, letting players catch Kingdra. This battle will run until June 21st.

A few repeat runs have begun as well, featuring Landorus, Uxie, Beedrill, and the Daily Pokémon Challenge (#5). The last of those will change which Pokémon is available daily, starting with Maractus, then moving through Dunsparce, Qwilfish, Durant and Heatmor, before returning to Maractus. All of these challenges except Landorus will run until June 21st. Landorus will run until the 14th, but will also have a higher catch rate each day.
