    Unique Nintendo 3DS Tells The World You’re A Pokemon MasterEveryone would love to be at the top of things, in terms of favorable rankings and the ilk. After all, it just goes to show the world that you have worked hard to earn that spot right at the pinnacle, but I suppose that the hardest thing to do would be to maintain one’s performance in order to remain there. If you think that you are one of the top Pokemon trainers in the world, then you ought to have the “tools of the trade”, so to speak, to reflect that self imposed stature. What better way to do so than with this grand prize over at Japan’s annual Pokemon tournament?

    You see that cute, egg-shaped Dragonite? He can be yours too. These are about 2.25 inches-tall and each are hand needle-felted with glass eyes attached. I’m not really a big Pokémon fan, but these guys are so adorable, I want them.

    They will cost you $26(USD)-$28(USD) at her Etsy shop and for that price you are getting a great quality, highly detailed little pet/friend that you can display on your desk or wherever. Each one is handmade to order, and they’re selling like hotcakes, so allow at least a month if you want one.

    Free Pokemon X Or Y Next Month From Nintendo They do say that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, right? Well, if that is the case, I suppose having some free Pokemon would be a pretty decent substitute in the First World. Assuming you already own a Nintendo 3DS handheld console and have at least one of a half dozen select titles, you are set to rock and roll. Basically, Nintendo 3DS owners who managed to register their handheld and one of six select 3DS games at Club Nintendo from March 1st onward will be able to download a free copy of either Pokemon X or Y.

    75,000+ People Are Playing a Game of Pokémon: MMOkémon

    Pokémon are elusive creatures. If you want to catch them all, you better bring an army. That must be their thinking on Twitch.tv, where right now more than 75,000 people are in a chatroom controlling a single game the Game Boy version of Pokémon Red.

    The users are entering controller input into the chat window (up, down, left right, B, A, select, start) and that is how they are playing the game. It’s just a bunch of crazy chaos. Scroll down or hit the link and watch it for a while. It is strangely engrossing.

    I just watched for several minutes as they tried to enter a name and got nowhere. Clearly, they are never going to catch them all.

Well it seems that Nintendo might have a couple of new Pokemon up their sleeves that have actually been hiding in plain view. This is thanks to a fan, who after the launch of Pokemon X and Pokemon Y, decided to poke around the game’s files, only to discover that there could potentially be three new Pokemons and two new Mega Evolutions that Nintendo has yet to officially announce, at least until recently.

    Nintendo has taken to YouTube to officially reveal the hidden Pokemon that was hiding in their game files ever since. The company has officially revealed one of the hidden Pokemon which has been revealed to be a mythical Pokemon known as Diancie which has been described as a Rock and Fairy Pokemon. Additional details of this Pokemon is expected to be unveiled soon, but in the meantime if you want to check out Diancie in battle, check out the short teaser video above for the details.
