Currently, about 90 million Pokémon have been traded worldwide, and to celebrate the landmark of 100 million Pokémon trades via the Global Trade Station (GTS), a new Fancy Pattern Vivillon will become available to players.

Vivillon is a unique Pokémon in that the patterns and colours on its wings typically vary based on the real-world region in which a player lives. Because of this characteristic, players around the world have been exchanging Vivillon via the GTS to collect all of the regional patterns.

The Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association has unveiled Tokyo Game Show 2014’s main visual. Ippei Gyoubu, who has been involved with the expo since 2010, created the illustration.

The main visual is said to encompass the keywords “change” and “transformation” of TGS 2014’s theme: Changing Games: “The Transformation of Fun”.

Gyoubu said of the image:

“I created this year’s main visual by visualizing the “emergence” based on the keyword “change/transformation” in the theme. A caterpillar becomes a chrysalis, breaks down its body and
reconstructs itself to be born as a completely different creature. In a gaming world, technological
innovation has evolved in the last 10 years and now that we’ve passed through the revolutions such
as internet, social media and smartphone, I feel that we’ve come close to the time of the birth of a
completely new world with all those revolutions blending well. I created this visual based on that
feeling. This main visual expresses the ambiguity of whether the visual is a reflection of the metal or not, it’s a flat graphic or not, it’s stereoscopic or planar, and she’s a human or a robot.”
