Event Pokemon Keldeo revealed!

My Little Pokemon.~  

Keldeo, the Legendary Colt Pokemon, has been announced for Japan Pokemon events! Don't worry though, just check back in the Pokemon Global Trade Center a few weeks from now, and you may get yourself a fine Keldeo in exchange for a shiny Celebi! Who knows?

Pokemon Sunday shows more footage of 5th Gen games

Written by pikaby



Watch and drool, Poke-fans! Although most of whatever's here has already been shown in CoroCoro a week earlier, we never saw them moving, right? (that's Pokemon dedication for you- even the tiniest bit of news gets the internet rumbling). But seriously, the moving footage is far better than you'd expect them to look. It's definitely leagues ahead of what we've ever seen in a Pokemon game so far.

There's a building drenched in honey (believed to be a Pokemon Gym, but I don't want to jump to that conclusion just yet), a vast desert wracked by sandstorms, and then Hiun City is shown with a moving bridge. Lots of battle scenes ensue, with Zorua pitched against Zoroark. That's a bit unfair towards Zorua, to be honest. A new attack learned by their evolution line, Night Burst, looks exactly like a Dark Pulse attack, although I don't know much of the details yet. And you already know that Pokemon animate even when not attacking, right? They still animate in the status screen!

I hope there's no lag in the battle scenes given how much more is going on, but looks like steps have been taken to reduce the amount of time spent in text boxes. Stat reduction and recovery animations still need to be cut down though. Maybe performance issues will be ironed out in the third version, like Platinum did for the 4th gen games.

New 5th Gen Pokemon reveal?

Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver is released!

Written by pikaby

By the time you're reading this it'll be the official release date of Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver in the US! And yes of course I know some of you got it early before the March 14 date, so I'm really jealous of you all lucky chaps (not :P).

Anyway for those of you still without copies of the new Pokemon, I'll do a small feature on some of the new areas you'll be visiting in Johto. You might have seen some of my shots before, even.

This links to the screenshots of the two entirely new routes to the west of Johto, Routes 47 and 48. They are accessed through Cianwood City, through a new cave opening.

This links to another set of screenshots, this time of Mt. Silver, which has been completely renewed for the new games.

New video time! This shows where the Global Terminal has been added to Johto, which is a piece of 'reclaimed land' to the left of Goldenrod City.

Another video showing where the Pokeathlon Dome is. It's also around the Goldenrod area, but right above it and next to the National Park counter. Trust me, Pokeathlon is more fun than you could imagine.

Have fun with the Johto remakes~! I'll continue on my JP copy until I get it in English.

Pokemon Ranger: Tracks of Light multiplayer

Written by pikaby

The time travel and multiplayer components of Pokemon Ranger: Tracks of Light are actually very closely related, because all the multiplayer missions take place in a temple in the past world(which will be revealed to you through multiple trips in the story). Once you've passed a certain point in the storyline, you can go back there anytime by touching the rock slab in Rainbow Island.



Below is the main hub room for the past world. In it you can go into the temple or change.level up your partner Pokemon. Ukulele Pichu cannot follow you, and you have your own sets of partners in that world. You start out with a Piplup and you gain more by completing missions.



The top screen is different...Your Styler level is reset for the past world, and your partners' power and recovery speed can be upgraded by using AP, another set of points different from Ranger Points. You gain them for each successful capture in missions and for completing it.

The tasks in each mission are simple at first...you capture a set number of Pokemon, or certain species of Pokemon and defeat a boss in a set time limit....Along the way you can break chests to gain extra time/Styler energy/ other powerups most multiplayer games have as standard items. Of course, I'd imagine with 4 people playing it'll be a race to see who gets the mission done first, and based off official trailers, you can help your partners capture Pokemon together. Below, screens of a mission, and the top screen while you're playing. The green boxes are treasure chests, and the red box is where you're headed(to beat the boss) after you've completed a task.



And then after that it's boss time.



After capturing the boss Pokemon you get your mission rank and probably a new unlocked partner. If you've captured certain species of Pokemon, rock slabs in the present world bearing that Pokemon's picture will break, opening up new paths.



By completing the multiplayer missions(you can do them solo if you want), you're rewarded when you go back. For instance, the rock slab thing I mentioned earlier, but more importantly, you get Celebi's Ranger Sign, which you can use at any time to summon the partner you had in the past world, any one of them! Cool feature there. Video for details.

Pokemon Ranger: Tracks of Light

Written by pikaby

No less than three Pokemon games will be released in the month of March. There's Pokemon Heart Gold and Pokemon Soul Silver bound for the US on March 26, but there's another Pokemon game coming out for Japan two weeks earlier, and surprise- it's a spinoff, and it's name is Pokemon Ranger: Tracks of Light! (or Pokemon Ranger: Hikari no Kiseki in Japanese). Bet no one expected this.

Pikachu-colored Pichu out in Europe!

Written by pikaby

A screenshot taken from the official Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver website! Yes, European Pokemon players can now get their hands on the Pikachu-colored Pichu that's already distributed in Japan and the US!

Except.....Japanese could only get it by buying Arceus movie tickets, and US players could only get it in Toys 'R Us, and both may involve driving miles to get to the destination.

Dawn of Generation 5!! Zorua and Zoroark!

Written by johnny139

...excuse my over-the-top phrasing, but this warrants it, doesn't it?

That's right, CoroCoro has revealed two brand new Pokemon; the same mysterious shadow from Pokemon Sunday a few days ago.

The pair are Zorua and Zoroark; a two-stage evolution chain. Both are Dark Type Pokemon; Zorua being the Evil Fox Pokemon and Zoroark a Monster Fox Pokemon. They're expected to star in the next Pokemon Movie, previously known as "Phantom Ruler Z;" we now know that the "Z" is short for Zoroark.

More details are expected in next month's CoroCoro.

(Thanks to Bulbapedia for the images.)

Remember to discuss this story on NINTENDO 5-STAR FORUMS!
