With the latest Nintendo Direct happening yesterday alot of information has been surfacing about some of the most anticipated titles of the year and Xenoblade Chronicles X is definitely no exception.
The official Xenoblade Chronicles X website has been updated to introduce three key characters.
Elma, is a team leader of a private military organization known as BLADE. Her temperament is quite calm, and composed with a keen sense judgement and insight and seems to be well respected by her fellow members of BLADE.
Lynlee, is a mechanic and member of BLADE. She is young, at only 13 years old she is considered a prodigy who has been developing a combat robot called “Doll”.
Tatsu, is a member of the Nopon race. He will be your companion and under your care after certain events transpire in the game. A little silly and occassionaly empty headed, his words at times will seem as if he is the one protecting you.
The latest Japanese Pokemon Omega Ruby/ Alpha Sapphire event has kicked off in Japan.
From today until November 30, 2015 you can use the code (POKEMON500) to get Emboar with his special ability, Reckless which until today has been unavailable. The code will only be usable once per game.
Alog with the above mentioned Pokemon you can also get Samurott with his hidden ability Shell, which has also been unavailible until today. The code was given out in today’s CoroCoro issue (POKEMON503). This code will also only be usable once per game and will be available until November 30, 2015.
No information has been released at this time about whether these will also be available overseas.
