Update: Serebii’s initial report was a bit incorrect. Here’s some clarification about the situation:
Following the release of the Version 1.3 patch last night, one of the small features that have been added has been confirmed. In addition to various bugfixes, such as a fix regarding Vivillon’s image not properly appearing in Friend Safari’s menus, the patch now fixes various special animations for when PokéBalls open on trying to capture a Pokémon or sending one in battle. Previously, these animations could be seen in battle, but not when you sent out your first Pokémon. Now, these will always appear when they are your first Pokémon sent in battle
Pokemon X/Y’s 1.3 update adds a small touch. PokeBalls open and display special animations when trying to capture a Pokemon or sending Pokemon into battle. Dream Balls and Cherish Balls had separate animations previously, though all except Apricorn Balls now appear to have new animations.
We originally thought that Prima would release separate guides for the two new Smash Bros. games. That isn’t the case though, as one guide is being made for both titles.
The image above is the cover for the collector’s edition guide
, which comes with 304 pages. Here’s a look at the 288-page paperback version

Forbidden Magna, a strategy RPG for the 3DS released earlier this month in Japan and has not necessarily been well received by fans.
The new update will hopefully address many of the issues, mainly steaming from the battle system.
The three main features of the patch:
– Enemy Strength (allows you to choose between easy, normal, hard)
– Fast Forward (holding down R allows you to speed up events)
– Gallery (new option to revisit cut-scenes and events)
