The Snack World confirmed for the west
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 4 Comments
Yesterday, Level-5 made several announcements. One of the major reveals was Lady Layton, which was quickly confirmed for the west.
The Snack World, Level-5’s next cross-media project, also appears to be heading overseas. Level-5’s western press release snuck in a mention that its subsidiary Level-5 abby will be handling “overseas expansion.” The rollout schedule has not yet been determined, however.
Level-5 did also mention Megaton Musashi and Inazuma Eleven Ares in its announcement. However, rollout plans for both outside of Japan are “yet to be determined.”

Pokemon GO’s region exclusives may be obtainable from eggs
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
Region-exclusive Pokemon in Pokemon GO is something that we’ve touched on before. It’s been thought that Taurus only appears to be found in the wild in North America, and Mr. Mime is only in Europe. Let’s also not forget about Farfetch’d in Asia and Kangaskhan in Australia. But here’s the thing: it looks these Pokemon can be obtained through other means.
BBC News spoke with someone who caught 142 Pokemon available in the wild in the UK, along with Taurus. Eurogamer also was in contact with California’s John Smith (Oninous Gaming on YouTube) who claims he was the first to catch all 145. With Smith, he said he needed to walk about 200km to collect everything, and hatch all the region-exclusive Pokemon from 10km eggs.
