The special event distribution has been announced for the Pokémon Video Game Championships next weekend in Vancouver. This Pokémon is a special Smeargle with the moves False Swipe, Spore, Mean Look & Odor Sleuth which allow it to be the perfect Pokémon for catching others. It's distributed at Level 50 and is said to have high Speed & Attack IVs. The Smeargle distribution will take place on Saturday, August 10th from noon to 8 p.m. and Sunday, August 11th from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Oh dang, I could really use one of those. If anyone here is attending the VGCs in Vancouver next weekend, would you graciously pick a Smeargle up for me? I'll trade absolutely anything you want for it, including one of my shinies.

I will trade a shiny for one too. Will help me in my shiny hunting!

Screw shiny hunting, I'm slapping Shell Smash and Ingrain on that bad boy and using him as the point man for my team ;P

Ahah, this Smeargle is just like my Smeargle! (except mine has Ingrain instead of Odor Sleuth)

And yet, for some reason, I desperately want this one... sigh.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Hope you aren't planning on sleeping at any point over the next week and a half, then.

Who needs sleep?

[DaBoss]

I think I'm gonna go pre-order Pokémon Y there soon.

 

[zroid]

at least it's big-ish

not enough to make me switch from my $26 pre-order at FS tho

$26 FS bros!

*high five*

Spoiler

We're not getting it 'til Day 3 :'(

 

[lordfroakie]

EB games still exists? Im gunning for midnight release instead of pre ordering

 

[Boss Doggie]

The pointless text of "EB Exclusive", ESRB rating, and Nintendo 3DS kinda ruins it. Maybe the logo and legendary "stats" too.

Maybe for you...

I ordered mine online

 

[DaBoss]

I didn't do the FS pre-orders (I barely even do pre-orders lol). I'm getting both games, one digital and one physical.

So that means midnight launch for me.

Well in Canada, it is EB Games and not GameStop.

The pointless text of "EB Exclusive", ESRB rating, and Nintendo 3DS kinda ruins it. Maybe the logo and legendary "stats" too.

Yea, official posters suck because of that.

 

[Aggrotek]

Eh, might as well add it to my poster collection.

When are they giving them out?
Edit: Oh wait, Canada. Nvm.

 

[zroid]

Maybe for you...

Yea, we might get it on Monday -- they tend to ship Sunday releases on Fridays. Still doesn't guarantee it'll arrive on Monday though.

I have mixed results.

edit: crap, it's a Saturday? OK WELL FORGET THAT *crying in agony*

 

[ScraftyDevil]

edit: crap, it's a Saturday? OK WELL FORGET THAT

It's fine, we'll make our own OT! With Pokémari, and Lopunnies!

Actually, forget the Pokémari.

And the OT.

And the Lopunnies.

Spoiler

I just really want the game, dude :<

 

[Bulbasaur]

So it's less than 12 weeks now, right?

I'm really going to try and avoid spoilers from this point on. My main aim though is to not witness the starter's evolutions till I actually have the game in my hands! But we'll see how that goes.. Not feeling confident on that one!

 

[tiggerkiddo]

A poster? We deserve a replica Pokedex for a nice preorder.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

So... have you guys thought about what will be your starter Pokémon? Has that changed from the first look? Will you have a separate, frequently used partner instead?

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Fire fox

But he might get ignored for Thugda whenever I get one.

Pssst...

They're all Fire/Fighting.

I was always planning on going with Chespin (which will become definite if its final form is Dark-type), but I may give Froakie a whirl since I had this premonition that its evolutions are going be absolutely amazing.

I just hope that the starters' final forms will be more gender-neutral this time around. Samurott and Emboar both have manly facial hair, fer god's sake.

 

[Bulbasaur]

I liked Froakie at first however Chespin looks as though it could have an awesome final form and I typically lean towards grass anyway... But no, I guess I like Froakie's design too much.

Screw the haters. Still team chespin.

 

[Aggrotek]

I might pick Froakie just for tradition's sake.

But I will definitely own a Chespin.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Screw the haters. Still team chespin.

*BroFist*

I'm still on Team Chespin.


I sided with Oshawott and he never did me wrong.

 

[zroid]

Only way I don't pick Chespin is if his final evo is an aberration

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

There's a pretty legit screenshot of what appears to be the Orotto Trailer floating around...

I'm sure the people who saw the movie can verify it...uh, I'm kind of nervous to post the picture since someone snapped a picture in the theater to get it and all.

Orotto look terrible and I would rather to see those artists' rought draft design to be in.

 

[NHarmonic.]

Still Chespin... always chespin.

 

[Quest1]

Chespin on the first go. Hopefully it evolves into something amazing (and as a plus, viable). I like all three though. I'm torn as to whether or not I want to know what the evos look like before, but I don't want to go on a blackout. Meh. I doubt I have the willpower.

 

[Firestorm]

day 2... maybe... :C

Nah, the game is being released Saturday for some reason. Future Shop always delivers on Day 1 online but weekends are an issue.

Time to do the good 'ol swap trick.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Pokemon is one of the few series I never cared about when it came to spoilers...so give me all that spoiling info

You beat the Elite Four

Yeah, I can wait one day, but two? Hell naw.

Will pull a switcheroo.

 

[PreyingShark]

I'm going digital so no waiting for me.

...Unless the servers crash, of course. ;_;

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Even clearer pics of Orotto are out, guess the Movie Trailer might be on the net now somewhere.

I'm literally shaking GAF, this Pokemon is too scary for me. That's it, I quit. I'm going to have nightmares!

I'm out of the loop. What's an orotto?

A tree Pokemon. Should be able to find the sketch on serebii if you scroll down enough.

You mean like a moral dilemma in the story that the game drops like a sack of bricks, much like Black/White did? Yeah, such a curveball.

Oh the alien broccoli/tree thing.

Seems this is from a video uploaded to the JP EShop, the one that's been in theaters:

Getting spider vibes...or crazy hand's spider attack.
