Pokemon X/Y’s Super Training was given a fresh look during today’s Pokemon Smash episode in Japan.

In the mini-game, players use the touchscreen to fire balls into different parts of Magneton. They will, at the same time, need to avoid large balls as their Pokemon sits on a platform.

You’ll be able to see a numerical value added to the stat once the game has completed. Pokemon Smash’s example showed a +8 on Special Attack. The specifics of the number are currently a mystery.

As previously mentioned, Pokemon Smash will have another feature on Pokemon X/Y next week. A teaser showed Mewtwo Mega Evolving and promised a shocking revelation about Mega Evolution in general.

Nintendo will be renaming two of its official Facebook pages later this month.

On September 19, the “Nintendo 3DS” page will be known as “Nintendo Handheld Gaming”. And one day later, the “Wii U” page will be changed to “Nintendo Console Gaming”.

Not exactly the biggest piece of news we’ve had in the world of Nintendo as of late. Still, it’s an interesting move – if nothing else, it allows Nintendo to keep one page for its handhelds/home consoles in the future without having to create new ones.
