New Pokemon + Nobunaga’s Ambition Commercials

Thu, 16 Feb 2012 23:36:58 +0000

Two new Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition commercials have been released by The Pokémon Company, via their official YouTube channel. Although the commercials are in Japanese, they still detail some gameplay aspects that have not previously been seen. Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition is scheduled to be released in Japan on March 17th. To date, no official news have been released to the public as to whether this cross-over type Pokémon strategy game will make landfall in the west.

I'm really not too sure what to think about this type of gameplay concept. For me, it doesn't seem very appealing.

Does this type of gameplay appeal to any of you?

Don't Forget The Poké Pork!

Thu, 16 Feb 2012 00:45:41 +0000

There's still a little time left to befriend special event Pokémon Mamoswine and add him to your arsenal. This event only applies to those who own a copy of the Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version. This Mamoswine is level 34 and comes with the Hidden Ability Thick Fat, an exclusive trait found only with Mamoswine in the Pokémon Dream World. Thick Fat provides added protection against Fire-type and Ice-type attacks, making this already difficult-to-defeat Pokémon even tougher.

Befriending Mamoswine is easy. Just log in to your Pokémon Global Link account and click on "Promotions" toward the bottom-right hand side of the page. You'll see an event called "Befriend Mamoswine Now!" Click on the event and enter the following password.

The password is: POKEMONDOTCOM

Once befriended, use Game Sync to add the cool Pokémon to your copy of Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version. You will now be able to go to the Entree Forest and meet Mamoswine! This event ends on February 16th.

Sweet Dreams With Mythical Arceus

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 12:56:31 +0000

Dream No Further, Arceus Is Here!

Back in early November, I posted an article called Vote For Your Pokémon Global Link Pokémon. That article encouraged Pokémon fans world-wide to vote for the Pokémon they wanted most, via the Pokémon Dream World. The results for the poll were actually announced last month but I completely forgot to announce the winner of the poll. I apologize for that, everyone. For some reason, I sort of had a feeling that the Mythical Pokémon Arceus would become the victor to fans all over the world.

From February 1st through ~~February 29th~~ May 1st, you can befriend the Mythical Pokémon Arceus. Once befriended, you can utilize the Game Sync feature to bring it into your Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version game. Don't miss the chance to add this rare, one-of-a-kind Pokémon to your arsenal.

Is anyone else looking forward to this besides me?

My Tornadus Quest Has Finally Ended

Sun, 01 Jan 2012 10:55:22 +0000

Ultra Ball after Ultra Ball after...Ultra Ball. I almost convinced myself that it wasn't going to be possible to catch the highly elusive Flying-type legendary Pokémon Tornadus with an Ultra Ball. He's so incredibly quick that I almost changed strategies and purchased some Quick Balls. Tornadus, National Pokédex #641 (Unova region #147), has finally been captured and registered on my Pokémon Black version. Tornadus is exclusive to only the Pokémon Black version. You can, however, transfer him to a copy of Pokémon White version though. I almost posted a topic in the forums about my seemingly impossible quest to catch him with an Ultra Ball.

For anyone who's wondering, Tornadus roams randomly between routes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 16, 15, 14 in the morning time and routes 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 in the evening. Also, I believe it has to be raining. Don't quote me on that though. If someone knows the answer to that, I'd love to know. I, personally, happened to catch him while it was raining on route 13. He's a pretty decent Pokémon and adds some character to your party. I'm not quite sure what Pokémon I want to catch next, but it'll be a legendary type. Also, I'm gonna start trading with a few of the guys in the community so I'm looking forward to playing more often.

Has anyone else captured Tornadus, or any other type of legendary in Pokémon Black?

Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition Announced

Mon, 19 Dec 2011 19:07:46 +0000

Yes, this is a crossover between Pokemon and Nobunaga's Ambition. For those who don't know, Nobunaga's Ambition is a strategy game series based in feudal Japan. It's such a weird combination, but I wish they would release it in North America. The game is supposed to be released in Japan in 2012, so there's very little chance of it coming stateside, even if it wasn't such a strange concept. If it comes here, I'd definitely buy it, at least.

This special event will only last from December 3rd through December 31st so don't miss out on the sizzling event. This Level 50 Victini knows the move V-create, an immensely powerful Fire-type move that also lowers Victini’s Defense, Special Defense, and Speed. Then, it knows the Searing Shot move, another strong Fire-type attack that hits all other Pokémon in a Double Battle. To cap it off, this Victini knows the signature moves of both Reshiram and Zekrom: Fusion Flare and Fusion Bolt! Victini is also holding a Fire Gem, which provides a one-time power boost to one of Victini's Fire-type moves.

There are only three requirements needed to get this special Victini:

A Nintendo DS™, Nintendo DSi™, Nintendo DSi XL™, or Nintendo 3DS™ system
A copy of the Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version game

After a few seconds, you will receive Victini!

Make sure you have at least one open spot in your party for Victini. If you have a full party, you need to deposit a Pokemon.

Solatorobo Hunting DS This Fall

Sat, 05 Nov 2011 00:30:58 +0000

In 1999, CyberConnect2's Tail Concerto launched in North America, giving gamers a 3D platformer in a world populated by mech-riding anthropomorphic cats and dogs caught in racial strife. More than a dozen years later, the developer is returning to the premise to create a spiritual successor to its PlayStation original, Solatorobo: Red the Hunter for the DS. XSEED Games today announced that it has reached an agreement with Japanese publisher Namco Bandai to bring Solatorobo to North American stores this fall.
