Pokemon X/Y Wobbuffet event announced for Japan
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Pokemon X/Y players in Japan will soon have the opportunity to obtain Wobbuffet. The creature will be available through the Pokemon Tretta arcade game.
Here’s the full rundown of the upcoming Wobbuffet event, courtesy of Serebii:
A new Pokémon X & Y event has been announced for Japan. This event ties in with the Pokémon Tretta arcade game. In the new set, there is a specific Wobbuffet Tretta (either Normal or Super Class) and, if you take it to either the World Hobby Fair on January 19th, 25th, 26th/February 2nd/9th or to the Pokémon Card Battle Festa on December 15th/23rd, you have the opportunity to use that Tretta in a special machine. When you do so, this sends out the signal for you to download Wobbuffet onto Pokémon X & Y. Once done, the Tretta is replaced by a blank Tretta puck and cannot be used in the arcade game again.

Pokemon X/Y’s pentagon icon is a hack checker
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 54 Comments
In Pokemon X/Y, a blue pentagon can be seen next to your Pokemon while viewing the status screen in trades, the box, and so on. It was initially unclear what it was intended for, but we now have an answer.
Game Freak included the pentagon as a hack checker of sorts. Pokemon who have the pentagon are confirmed to be legitimate. If the creature doesn’t have the blue icon, that means there was an error and it has been hacked.
The Pokemon Company’s simple definition of the pentagon is that the Pokemon is okay to use.

Hitoshi Ariga worked on several Pokemon designs for X/Y
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Hitoshi Ariga, perhaps best known for his work on the Mega Man manga series, has revealed his involvement with Pokemon X/Y.
Ariga worked on several creature designs for the two games. Pangoro, Inkay, Malamar, Honedge, Doublade, Aegislash, Tyrunt, Tyrantrum, Amaura, and Aurorus are all Ariga’s creations.
Ariga wrote in a new deviantART post, “the Pokemon art director, Sugimori, had taken notice of some of my past work and that’s why he asked me if I’d be interested in doing some design work for Pokemon XY.”
So in some ways, designing Pokemon for XY was like an extension of my days of drawing monsters for “ActRaiser 2” and “Beyond Oasis”. I am a Pokemon Trainer as well as an illustrator, so needless to say I was incredibly honored and pleased to have this opportunity.
