Last week Pokémon Shuffle players were given a second chance at a Lucarionite by playing against Mega Lucario in another challenge. Those that already had won a Lucarionite in their region could still enter, but would be rewarded with two Jewels if they managed to get a top spot once again. Now, the event is over and Lucarionites are going around to players that entered.

For those that entered but didn’t manage to gain a top spot in their region, you’ll receive one Jewel. If you ranked this time and didn’t the last time, then congratulations on your Lucarionite! This special Mega Stone can’t be obtained by normal means, so these challenges are the only way to give your Lucario that extra special power.

Did you win a Lucarionite this time around? Let us know in the comments below!

In Famitsu’s most recent issue, the magazine caught up with Ambrella director Norio Matsumura and president Muneaki Ozawa. The two sides chatted all about the free-to-play 3DS game Pokemon Rumble World.

One of the most notable questions Famitsu asks is why the team decided to try out the F2P model. Matsumura noted that it actually happened thanks to a suggestion from Pokemon president Tsunekazu Ishihara.

Matsumura said:

Mr. Ishihara (the president of the Pokemon Company) suggested: “Let’s try out F2P.” Personally I think that refreshing controls and the nature of continuously returning to the game are concepts which suit free games very well, so I thought there was a chance of success. However, many members of the staff are against F2P games…

Matsumura continued on his comments by talking about how development didn’t progress without some resistance:

Nintendo’s website has a new game from Genterprise listed for release on the eShop next week. G.G Series Wonderland, a 3DS title, is due out on May 28 for $1.99.

Below is a brief overview:

A vibrant and unique vertically-scrolling shooting game. Set inside the fantastical world of magic, lore and mischief, slip gracefully through what seems to be an impassable curtain of fire from Wonderland-themed enemies. Hitting enemies with your fire will cause your Bomb Gauge to increase. Once your gauge is maxed out, use your fully charged Bomb to obliterate all enemy fire on-screen. At the end of each stage, a powerful boss will be lying in wait. Will you make your way down the rabbit hole?
