The 20th Anniversary VC releases of Red, Green, Blue, and Pikachu were released in Japan. I opted for the boxed versions. Here's what came in the Red version. IMO, well worth the extra 300 yen.

I really dig the map repro, the stickers, and especially the magnet.

Here is the handbill being used to advertise these as well as a few other 20th anniversary products.

I'm interested in whether Zygarde 100% will be in it, it could be as both bodies can have significant impact on the environment. I don't think I want it to be a zygarde-centric story, but it would be nice to get it after all :-?

Free Regirock, Regice, and Registeel if you use the Bank from now until October. They are really giving the Legendaries away this year, huh?

Yeah, Jirachi is being given away in April, then, I'd imagine that shaymin, darkrai and arceus will be may, june and july - if they're going in order, which they have so far, and skip deoxys. Keldeo, meoletta, and genesect would be august, september and october. This would then coincide with Pokemon Sun and Moon, maybe volcanion will be released that month, and hoopa and diancie/diancite will get a promotion to to round off the year :-?

*edit, and I suppose manaphy, phione (maybe, not necessarily, since you can breed it) and victini :-?

There is an official list they published in early January. i believe you are mostly correct. But they have already given out Hoopa and Dancie so I don't think they'd do that again...

edit:
found it!

They're releases one of the event legendaries per month. Deoxys, incidentally, isn't an event legendary anymore, seeing as you can get one like any other legendary in ORAS.

I was seriously hoping for some fairy representation; Solgaleo could be fire/steel (such op typing, much tears everywhere), and Lunalaa could've been dark/fairy; talk about a missed opportunity, we already have so many steel/psychics, and psy/ghost doesn't make sense for a lunar bat god :HEADHURTS:

In other opinions, that rotom-dex is so cute :shock:

What if it had a model and floated around when you were looking for a specific pokemon and showed you where it was :DANCE:

We only have, like... Metagross and Jirachi for Steel/Psychic though. Oh, and Bronzong. It's still a really cool and unique typing

True, but for representing the sun, I'm just saying there are a lot of better type combinations for that, and 3 is more than 1, or 0 of other types...

On another note, does anyone else really want need a new rotom form for the pokedex form, maybe a levitating electric/steel type, or electric/fairy, since it's so f'ing abdorable :x

lololol 110 wins in the super triples maison, so the game decides to sh|t me right out the f#$king door, with a crit freeze on one pokemon and then 3 crit high jump-kicks in a row to one-shot the rest of my team, because F%%K their fans - I mean, why should they bother putting effort into post game play-ability when they can just drop the bu||sh|t from x and y into it instead, it makes no sense :roll:

It would be the same story had they implemented emerald's battle frontier, I'm afraid. RNG is the bane of all Pokemon players.
Double Team was the stupidest thing to ever exist, incidentally.

It's not a rng, it employs a heuristic to analyze your team the longer you go, so stopping every 3-4 battles kinda resets it;

but it's always 'cheating', it's allowed so much lenience, it makes me wanna vomit; I was frozen 8 times in there; 8! I've only ever frozen a pokemon once; and it's all little things too, like opponents not attacking into protect's; using moves on a pokemon that's immune to it as you switch into something that is weak to it (this one really pisses me off - like using an earth power on my landorus as it switches into excadril, and stuff like that, that's bu\\sh\t), or quick claw always activating every turn;

They should give the place a more accurate tagline, like: 'Come test your skill as a player and learn that it all means nothing...' :BANG_HEAD:

The worst part is, is that, I actually like the idea of triple battles, and want something like b2/w2's setup (which was great, by the way), not this abhorrent pile of crap; I guarantee you not kid likes playing in the maison >:oP

God I cannot wait until sun and moon come out to give me something to do in these games... god, I need a new game, sapphire's getting old :(

I don't have many recent games, but I try to not be bored with Dynasty Warriors 8; was having a lot of fun trying to get the highest kill-count, until someone registered a hacked kill count, there goes what little fun was left for me in that game;

I've been eyeing the new kirby game, the gameplay is really nice, and I like the long levels, and amount of forms both kirby and the robobot suit can get, think I'm gonna buy it tonight out of pure anger at the battle maison :-?

Man, if this sort of thing aggravates you, don't even think about XCOM. Miss three shots despite all three having an 85% hit chance, then a Sectopod crits your best Colonel in the face, insta-killing them? That's XCOM, baby!

Perhaps, but I've spent literally years developing and breeding my rain team, and to just be flat out sh|t on is really aggravating, not to mention, it can take weeks to get that high in the maison (I spent the better part of 8 days on that run)... but you are correct from gameplay videos, xcom does not seem like my type of game, I prefer games that reward players for being good at them, like Dynasty Warriors 8 :x

So Zygarde doge and Zygarde Gurren Lagann 100% are confirmed to be in Sun/Moon. It appears that Zydog transforms into Zygarde 100% through the same method Darmanitan gets to Zen mode...

Cool signature moves tho
