This month’s CoroCoro has started to leak. In the magazine, it’s revealed that those who pre-book tickets for the movie “The Archdjinni of the Rings – Hoopa” in Japan can participate in a distribution for Arceus. The Pokemon knows the moves Judgment, Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon and Earth Power. Additionally, it comes with the item Silk Scarf.

Arceus will be obtainable by pre-booking tickets between March 7 and July 17. It’s redeemable between June 20 and August 31.

We have a small tidbit about the movie itself as well. There will plenty of legendary Pokemon, including Lugia, Palkia, Giratina, Dialga, Kyurem and Arceus.

By pre-booking, you’ll also receive another legendary Pokemon out of these six revealed for the movie, though the specific six you get one of are not known at the moment.

That’s not all from CoroCoro. It’s also revealed that the Shiny Rayquaza will be distributed through the magazine, and it can be obtained even if players nabbed the one at the World Hobby Fair. Specific details will be announced sometime in the future.

GameStop is running a promotion in which consumers can obtain $100 for their 3DS XL units and $75 for 3DS/2DS units towards the purchase of a New 3DS XL (through February 15). There’s just one issue: transferring data from one 3DS system to another requires both systems, and can take a decent amount of time to complete.

With that in mind, Polygon spoke with a few GameStop locations in Ohio and learned that there’s a plan in place for the situation. Here’s the full rundown:

  1. Go to GameStop. Purchase a $200 New 3DS XL
  2. Take your system home, go through the transfer process
  3. Take your existing system and your new system back to GameStop
  4. Return your new system for a full refund of $200
  5. Trade-in your existing system for $100
  6. Rebuy your New 3DS XL, use the $100 credit to pay for half the purchase

Not the easiest process in the world, but at least it’s something!

Atlus recently published an interview on the game’s Japanese blog with director Shinjiro Takada and art director Akiko Kotoh. Siliconera has now provided a translation.

Takada and Kotoh touched on Record Breaker’s subtitle, Durarara!! guest characters, and more. You can find the full roundup below.

On the Record Breaker subtitle…

“I can’t give you the deeper meaning behind it today. As for subtitles, during the development of part 1, we named it Overclocked when we released it for the 3DS, which I believe gave it a strong sense and a feeling of ‘surpassing its predecessor’.” – Kotoh

“The [Record Breaker] subtitle has some deep roots in the story, so it’s kind of difficult to comment on that…There are actually several meanings behind it, so please check it out for yourselves once you get to play it.” – Takada
