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.

Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire may be due out in only a few short days, but that hasn’t stopped Pokemon X and Y from receiving a couple more events in Japan. The first event, “Japanese Charizard Event” is exactly what you would expect, allowing players to download either a shiny Charizard holding Charizardite Y or a shiny Pikachu. The event will run from December 12th through January 16th at the Pokemon Center in Tokyo to commemorate the opening of the new venue.

The second “Linoone Event” will take place at Jump Festa 2015 on December 20th and will feature several gifts, the first of which is a special Linoone. The Linoone in question is Level 50 with the moves Extreme Speed, Helping Hand, Baby-Doll Eyes and Protect and holds a Focus Sash. Participating in a special battle competition will win players a PP up or a PP max. Also featured at the event are special QR codes for Super-Secret bases for special guests Ayana Tsubaki, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Aoi Yuki, Emi Nitta, Aoi Shota & Ban Megumi

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.
