Earlier today, it was revealed that Hoopa would be distributed for Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire and X/Y starting on October 23 at GAME stores. We now have confirmation for North America as well. You’ll be able to nab Hoopa “later this year”, according to The Pokemon Company.
Here’s an overview of the distribution:
The Pokémon Company International is pleased to announce the upcoming character distribution of Mythical Hoopa. The distribution will allow fans to gain this special Level 50 Pokémon, which cannot be found during normal gameplay. Fans will need to have a copy of Pokémon X, Pokémon Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby or Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, and a system from the Nintendo 3DS family. Mythical Hoopa has the Magician Ability and is recognized by its two horns and the golden ring that adorns its body. The ring allows it to bend dimensions and move objects across great distances. Hoopa’s moves include Hyperspace Hole, Psychic, Astonish, and Nasty Plot.

Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets will launch on October 20, Ubisoft and Disney Interactive announced today. Pricing is set at $29.99.
Here’s a helpful overview of the title:
Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets is adapted from Disney XD’s #1 series, “Gravity Falls.” In collaboration with the show’s creator and executive producer Alex Hirsch, a brand new and original adventure was created for the game and places players in a mysterious adventure to help Jeff the Gnome retrieve the ancient Gnome Gemulets and restore magic to the Gnome forest.
Players will play as both Dipper and Mabel Pines in dual character gameplay switching between characters at any time to use their unique powers and abilities given through the power of Gnome magic. Dipper is bestowed with Gnome Battle Cuffs which deliver powerful punches at close range, and keeps his trusty flashlight by his side to shed light on the many mysteries in Gravity Falls. Mabel wields the Fleece of Bezazzlementthat lets her whip her sweater sleeves to attack monsters from afar, and her grappling hook is at the ready to help access areas otherwise out of reach. Dipper and Mabel will complement one another as they will unravel a mystery to learn more about the inhabitants of Gravity Falls and unlock secrets of the town’s past.
Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets is powered by the UbiArt Framework game engine and allows players to experience lush backgrounds and beautiful graphics. Players will explore favorite places from the show, such as the Mystery Shack and the Gnome Forest like never before.
