Pokemon Sun/Moon: The Official Alola Region Pokedex & Postgame Adventure Guide coming out in February
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 9 Comments
Even though Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon arrived in November, a new guide is being prepared for the two games. This one, called the “Alola Region Pokedex & Postgame Adventure Guide”, is scheduled for February.
Here’s the synopsis:
“If getting all the Pokemon from the Alola region is your goal, or if you simply want the latest info on all these amazing Pokemon, then Pokemon Sun & Pokemon Moon: The Official Alola Region Collector’s Edition Pokedex & Postgame Adventure Guide will be your go-to for the info you need!
And if you think you’ve done everything there is to do in the Alola region, then think again! Many adventures are waiting for you after you’ve completed the main story in Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon, and this guide will take you through them—including the appearance of the mysterious Ultra Beasts!”
The new Pokemon Sun/Moon guide includes data for the Alola region Pokemon plus information on moves, abilities, location, stats, and Evolutions for each one. You can also expect lists of TMs, items, Berries, and Z-Crystals—including where to find them. Finally, an exclusive creator interview will be included.
Amazon is listing two versions of the guide. You can pick up the standard version or collector’s edition. By going with the collector’s edition, you’ll get the hardcover as well as “8 high-quality double-sided lithographs of concept artwork in a protective sleeve”.

Plenty of Pokemon Sun/Moon concept art
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Images | 6 Comments
In Japan, the Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon Alola Art Book was a pre-order incentive. Official illustrations are included inside, along with special pictures of concept art. These images show characters, locations, and more.
Here’s a look at the various concept art:
I believe this art was also included in the Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon: Official Strategy Guide Collector’s Vault. The images may have been a part of the standard/collector’s guides as well, but I can’t say for certain as I don’t have access to those.

SEGA 3D Fukkoku Archives 3: Final Stage has launched in Japan. Like almost every 3DS game, there’s now a relevant Miiverse community for the release.
Siliconera came across something interesting with the new forum. You’ll notice that once you load up the page, it actually shows as SEGA 3D Classics Collection 2.
SEGA 3D Classics Collection made it to North America earlier this year, and Europe last month. This doesn’t confirm localization of the new package, but it does give us some hope.

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
After Inti Creates brought out the latest patch for Azure Striker Gunvolt (the original, not the sequel), an unfortunate issue came about. Players reported problems with Special Mission 5 after applying the patch.
Thankfully, Inti Creates became aware of the situation and created another update. You should be able to access version 1.4 tomorrow – December 22. Once downloaded, Special Mission 5 should work without any issues.
Speaking of Azure Striker Gunvolt, character artist Yoshitaka Hatakeyama made a special wallpaper for Christmas. That’s located at the source link below.
