A shame a majority of Trainers already have both Latias and Latios, though what we DON'T have (Gen 6 wise) is the Soul Dew. Either way, this saves me the trouble of finding someone in this isolated place of a city that I live at.
Yup. I transferred my shiny Latias and Latios from black 2 and white 2.

Mine weren't shiny, but both of them were from Gen 3 :P (Yes, I got the Time Traveler award this way.)

Ironically enough, they were both Southern Island captures (one on Sapphire, the other on Emerald).

I honestly miss Jirachi, imo it's the only one what is missing into ORAS. maybe Mew too

Uh... I still have like 70 WISHMKR Jirachi left... lol.

I mean as catchable Pokemon in ORAS.

Honestly, we don't need any more event Pokémon being catchable; Deoxys was enough. (Or rather, a mistake.)

Pokémon Bank - Hidden Ability Johto Starters

For those of you with the Pokémon Bank game, the latest event has begun. This event offers a download of the fully evolved Johto Starters, Meganium, Typhlosion and Feraligatr with their Hidden Abilities of Leaf Guard, Flash Fire and Sheer Force respectively. This distribution will run until November 30th for all players of Pokémon Bank and can be sent to Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire through their Pokémon Link feature. You get one of each per Pokémon Bank account and you need to make sure to have received all PokéMiles/BP sitting in the game's Pokémon Link before you can receive these Pokémon.

For those of you in North America or Europe who have yet to obtain an Eon Ticket, you are now able to get a Serial Code from the official site which is redeemable until March 2nd 2015. This code is 2015LATIOSLATIAS in North America or POKEMON380381 in Europe. This serial code will allow for you to download the Eon Ticket to the game. This allows you to get Latias in Pokémon Omega Ruby or Latios in Pokémon Alpha Sapphire. You can then share the Eon Ticket through StreetPass for those who don't get it through this manner. If you have already received the Eon Ticket, either through Mystery Gift or through StreetPass, you cannot use this code.
Stefan
thanks for reminding!

Why did they make Exp. Share so stupidly powerful?
I remember in previous generations that it would only affect one pokemon on your team and it gave only 50% of the exp, now it's 100% for the whole team? Some of my pokemon evolved two times already and I haven't even fought with them, ever.

It feels like cheating.

Correction: in Gen 6, any Pokémon sent out gets 100% EXP, but EXP Share only gives 50% to each of the rest of your not-sent-out party.

For EVing purposes. That's why horde encounters also exist.

Ah right... That, too. Also helps to have the Power items (Weight, Lens, etc.).

Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha - Shiny Arceus Event

In Japan, the special pre-order promotion for the movie has begun and with the purchase of the tickets comes a serial code to allow for the download of Arceus. This is the only distribution of Arceus so far in Generation VI with the Generation VI native mark. At first, it was announced that there are 18 different Arceus being distributed at random, but a 19th version has been received by players. This Arceus is a special Shiny Arceus, marking the first time Arceus has legitimately been available as a Shiny since its reveal and release in 2009. The Arceus players receive when they redeem the code is completely random, with an equal chance between all 19 possibilities.
I wonder if we'll ever get something like this...
Navizel
Always japan. Sigh

Yeah its alway's Japan and their pre-order specials haha
I'm just really sad that these things don't come to Austria really often. Germany has a bigger chance, and even when we get these event's here they'd probably be distributed through these download card code's you can only obtain by buying something at Gamestop. And here's the clue: they only get like, 10 - 20 cards so the chance of getting one if you can't make it on release is really little. Well we can only hope!

Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire - Amaura Event

If you participated in the Enter the Dragon Type Battle Competition, the entry gift is now available to redeem in all regions. The gift is a Level 10 Amaura with its Hidden Ability of Snow Warning, which was previously unavailable before. To get this event, you need to go to the special page that pops up on the Global Link and, if you are eligible for the Amaura, you will receive a serial code that can be redeemed in Mystery Gift on Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. The code works until May 31, 2015.

Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire - Shiny Charizard Event

For those of you in the UK, the Shiny Charizard event has begun. This event is distributed through Serial Code obtained in GAME stores with codes being unavailable after April 19, 2015. The code will be redeemable until July 2, 2015. This shiny Charizard mirrors the one that came in Japan last year and comes with the move Hold Hands as well as the Charizardite Y. Do note that you need to have updated your game to the latest version to be able to download it.
Don't forget to update your games as well! (Currently at 1.3)

Pokémon - Nintendo Dream Interview

In the latest issue of the Japanese magazine, Nintendo Dream, Ken Sugimori was asked about the lack of the much-requested Mega Evolution, Mega Flygon. In it, he stated that while they had worked on concepts for Mega Flygon in Pokémon X & Y and again in Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, they could never get a good design to come together for it.
deadbeat
that reminds me, why were so many people going on about mega flygon?
was it teased, then never released or something?
Topic Starter
NaomiMinette
Probably because Altaria and Salamence have Mega Evolutions... I dunno.

EDIT: The 1.4 patch is now out. (X and Y also have a patch, for that matter.)

didn't they say mega flygon isn't a thing because they couldn't get a design that worked for it?

A new event has been announced for the US. From June 22nd to July 12th you can go to Gamestop to get a serial code to receive a special Dragonite. It knows the move Dragon Dance, Outrage, Hurricane and Extremespeed, which is a difficult move to get on Dragonite, and has its Hidden Ability of Multiscale and holds a Lum Berry, all to coincide with today's release of the Roaring Skies TCG set. We'll bring more as it comes.

yeah, i just saw the video announcing that. not sure how i feel about it

Though this also pertains to X/Y, I figured I'd post it only here: Hoopa is finally coming out... at least in Japan.

EDIT: The Dragonite distribution in the US (or is it North America in general?) is now live.

I've beated all gyms but I've put the game on hold since I somehow managed to play through all of the gyms with only 4 pokemons and I think most of those four are under-leveled for elite 4 and alglakengf
Navizel
Try leveling it up to level 60. It shouldn't be that hard seeing how exp share works. There's also the blissey bases if you know what I'm talking about.
Topic Starter
NaomiMinette
A shame you can't make ALL the Bases filled with Blissey, but either way... Quick leveling to 100 in like an hour or two depending on conditions (Lucky Egg, EXP Point O-Power level, access to Level Release machine, Pokémon-Amie affection, and if the Pokémon belong to someone else).

There are a ton of level 50 legendaries you can catch now so I recommend trying to get some of those. Also, the late 40's are sufficient to beat the E4 if you have at least a vague idea of what you are doing.
Navizel
For those of you in North America, it has been announced that, for a short period between July 24th 2015 and July 27th 2015, you'll be able to receive the Mythical Pokémon Diancie to you Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire games through the internet via the Nintendo Network.
I wish it's Hoopa instead
Topic Starter
NaomiMinette
I don't mind, honestly. Some people were complaining about not being able to get her (SHUSH, SHE WAS REFERRED TO AS A PRINCESS DESPITE NOT HAVING A GENDER) the first time around (probably because it involved getting code cards).

Serebii wrote:

The Summer Campaign sale has for the PokéMileage Shop on the Global Link has begun. This campaign runs until August 4th. During this, every item redeemable in the PokéMileage Shop will be obtainable for 50% of the standard PokéMiles, for example a Heart Scale will cost 50 PokéMiles rather than the usual 100. In addition to this, for the duration of the campaign, you'll be able to purchase the rare Ability Capsule item. This item allows for you to change the ability of your Pokémon if the species has 2 standard abilities. It will cost 5000 PokéMiles. Also during this, it will cost 50% of the price to enter an attraction. Spend them while you can!
The above (not the Diancie part) also applies to X/Y, if that wasn't obvious already.

EDIT 2:

For those of you who are attending Gamescom in Germany from August 5th to August 9th, several new Serial Code events have been announced. At Gamescom, you will receive a code card that gives you access to 2 Pokémon. These Pokémon are selected by Game Freak Battle Director Shigeki Morimoto, competitive ready and are the following: Aromatisse with Trick Room, Heal Pulse, Disable, and Moonblast while holding the Babiri Berry and the ability Aroma Veil; Malamar with Superpower, Knock Off, Facade, and a move listed that translates to Rock Slide but isn't the official name, the item Assault Vest, and the ability Contrary; Sableye with the moves Calm Mind, Will-O-Wisp, Recover, and Shadow Ball with the item Sablenite and the ability Prankster; and Bouffalant with the moves Head Charge, Facade, Earthquake and a move listed that translates to Rock Slide but isn't the official name, the Choice Band item, and the ability Soundproof.
This one doesn't apply to X/Y.

Pokémon - Global Link

The Pokémon Global Link has put out an update regarding stricter hack checks that are to come to the game. If you have been caught with a modified save file or modified Pokémon, then you will be unable to participate in Rating Battles or in Battle Competitions. If you are caught having done this multiple times, you are to be hit with stronger consequences beyond blocking from Rating Battles, which have not been detailed, without any warning. Those who have already been confirmed to have done this will have consequences enacted soon. This follows recent instances of save data loss for innocent players after they have encounter certain people with modified data.

Does modified pokemon include cloned? Afaik most competitive players with legendary have cloned pokemon.
