Then you just need to follow the instructions to transfer it to your Black or White game. The Banette also knows Cotton Guard, a move it cannot normally learn (maybe because you stuff dolls with cotton?); the rest of its moves are Faint Attack, Shadow Ball, and Hex. The promotion ends March 1st, so you have plenty of time to download it! 

Hi guys & girls

 it's nfe with an pokedex3d update.  A  new update is now available for Pokedex 3D on the Nintendo 3DS, which unlocks many of the program's hidden capabilities. These features can already be unlocked by trading and sharing a lot of Pokemon data, but this update unlocks them without having to do that. Unlocked features include the pause button (allows you to freeze Pokemon animations when viewing their Pokedex entries), the SD Card Background (lets you use photos on your SD card as backgrounds in the AR Viewer), the musical note item (plays a Pokemon's cry), and sliders which adjust the sizes of the Pokemon in the AR Viewer. To download the update, you have to select the "Update" option in the menu; it will not update itself automatically.

The new update does not unlock all of the program's features, however. Normally, if you collect 70 stickers by scanning Pokemon AR Markers, you will be able to display up to nine Pokemon simultaneously in the AR Viewer. 200 stickers allows ten Pokemon while 250 stickers allows eleven Pokemon. You will still have to meet these conditions to display that many Pokemon - the update does not cover this.

The official Pokemon Trading Card Game Online program has updated with computer-generated images of upcoming Black & White promos, revealing the card artwork for promos #20 through #24. Serperior, Emboar, and Samurott will each be reprints of the holos from the first Black & White set, but with English-exclusive artwork. They will be included in the fall 2011 tins, which will be released in October.

Reshiram and Zekrom, on the other hand, are reprints from Black & White but use the set's booster pack artwork for their card artwork, making them alternate art promos as well. They will be included in the Reshiram and Zekrom boxes, which will also hit store shelves in October. 

Junichi Masuda appeared on Pokemon Smash again today and revealed that Mewtwo's fourth move will be Electro Ball, an attack it cannot normally learn; as revealed before, its other attacks are Psystrike, Shadow Ball, and Aura Sphere. To review, the Mewtwo distribution will take place over Wi-Fi from September 26th to October 31st for Japanese copies of Black and White. Mewtwo is at Level 70, holding a King's Rock, inside a Cherish Ball, and has its typical Pressure ability. Its OT is "PokeSuma" (Pokemon Smash).

The long-delayed "Black & White Trainer Kit" is now available at stores like Target and Wal-Mart for $12.99(don't know were to get it in the uk probably whsmiths ) and comes with Excadrill and Zoroark reprints that feature English-exclusive artwork. Other goodies include a deck box featuring the two Pokemon, an Emerging Powes booster pack, a Pokemon TCG Online code for activating the decks online, two guide booklets that show you how to use each deck and card, as well as a playmat, coin, and damage counters. Click the thumbnails below for larger scans; thanks goes to Omahanime for the images!

The Excadrill deck features 2x Drillbur, 2x Excadrill (one holo, one non-holo), 2x Timburr, 1x Gurdurr, 2x Audino, 2x Lillipup, 1x Herdier, 1x Energy Switch, 1x Potion, 1x Pluspower, 1x Potion, 1x Energy Search, 1x Pokemon Communication, and 12x Fighting Energy. The Zoroark half-deck includes 2x Zorua, 2x Zoroark (one holo, one non-holo), 2x Purrloin, 2x Patrat, 1x Watchog, 2x Minccino, 2x Pidove, 1x Tranquill, 1x Pluspower, 1x Energy Retrieval, 1x Pokemon Com

munication, 1x Energy Search, and 12x Darkness Energy

The Trio Badge season is now starting at many Pokemon Leagues: you can earn reverse holo Lillipup and Grass Energy reprints as well as a badge pin. The promos have the stitch holographic background, but the effect is a little less pronounced than on promos of the past, which is why it is difficult to see in the scans below. The point card is also below; we do not have a photo of the badge pin yet because they have apparently been delayed. Thanks goes to Jacqueline T. for the scans; click them for larger images. To see a list of all the promos you can earn this League year  

The official Pokemon YouTube channel has posted the theatrical trailer for Victini and Zekrom, as you can see below. It also played on Pokemon.com this past weekend if you watched Zoroark: Master of Illusions. Remember, the movie will be released in some theaters December 3rd and 4th! As for Victini and Reshiram, no exhibition plans have been announced yet, though we can probably expect it to play on Cartoon Network.

hi all coll news the first three Noble Victories cards have been revealed - Kyurem (#34), Hydreigon (#79), and Victini (#98); all of the cards will be holographic in real life. Their set numbers reveal that the set will have 101 cards, excluding any secret rares. The set's prereleases will take place the last weekend of October and the first weekend of November and the set itself will be released in stores November 16th.

hi all it's nfe here with some tcg news .Japan's new  fourth Black and White set will be called Dark Rush and is set for release on December 16th. It will feature Zoroark on its booster packs and will contain at least 69 cards (excluding secret rares). What makes the set different than usual is that it will specifically focus on Dark-type Pokemon and will have Trainers that work to support them. The first Dark-type Pokemon EX of the BW era will debut as well - we'll probably see a Zoroark EX.

In addition to this set announcement, an Umbreon promo will be released in a blister pack containing four booster packs of Dark Rush. You can see a beta image of the blister pack and the set's booster pack below (the Umbreon shown is just a placeholder).

2011/12 vgc ruels

hi all more news about the 2011 play pokemon so here it is.

The 2011-2012 video game championship rules have been posted on Pokemon.com. Of note is that most Legendary Pokemon have now been banned, aligning the official tournaments more with the rules used in online fan tournaments. The important parts of the documentation are below.

5. Standard Format Style
All sanctioned Pokémon video game tournaments require players to assemble a team of Pokémon, with items, prior to the start of the event. The standard format style for all PLAY! Pokémon tournaments is Double Battle.

5.1. Double Battle
In Double Battles, each player selects four Pokémon from his or her party of six to battle with. At the start of the battle, players send out the first two Pokémon in their party, making a total of four Pokémon on the battlefield. Game play continues until a player knocks out all four of his or her opponent’s Pokémon.

6. Standard Team Construction Rules
When building a team for a PLAY! Pokémon tournament, all players must adhere to these standard construction rules.

• A player’s team cannot contain two Pokémon with the same Pokédex number
• Each Pokémon on a player’s team can hold an item, though no two Pokémon may hold the same item
• A player’s team cannot contain two Pokémon with the same nickname
• A player’s team cannot contain a Pokémon nicknamed with the name of another Pokémon (for example, an Unfezant named “Pidove”)
• Pokémon may only use moves that have been learned through one of the following methods:
  • By leveling up
  • By TM or HM
  • As an Egg move, through breeding
  • From a character in the game
  • A move already known by a Pokémon received at an official Pokémon event or promotion

The Modified format is the standard tournament format for PLAY! Pokémon video game events. This format will be used at all premier events unless specified otherwise. The Modified format for the 2011–2012 season will use the following restrictions:

• Only Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version Game Cards are permitted for use.
• Players may use Pokémon from the National Pokédex, from No. 001–646, that are caught in the game, transferred from a previous Pokémon title, or received at an official event or distribution
• The following Pokémon may not be on a player’s team:
  • 150 – Mewtwo
  • 151 – Mew
  • 249 – Lugia
  • 250 – Ho-Oh
  • 251 – Celebi
  • 382 – Kyogre
  • 383 – Groudon
  • 384 – Rayquaza
  • 385 – Jirachi
  • 386 – Deoxys
  • 483 – Dialga
  • 484 – Palkia
  • 487 – Giratina
  • 489 – Phione
  • 490 – Manaphy
  • 491 – Darkrai
  • 492 – Shaymin
  • 493 – Arceus
  • 494 – Victini
  • 643 – Reshiram
  • 644 – Zekrom
  • 646 – Kyurem
• Pokémon must be placed in the Battle Box.
• Pokémon above level 50 are permitted, but they are auto-leveled down to 50 for the duration of battle.
• Players may use Pokémon with Hidden Abilities that have been officially released via Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version, the Pokémon Global Link, or an official event or promotion.
• Pokémon may not know the moves Sky Drop or Dark Void.
• The Wonder Launcher cannot be used during battle.

hi all it's nfe and i have a snekk peek at PokéPark 2: Beyond the World - Playable Pokémon With the information that has come over the past couple of days, I have compiled a page about the playable Pokémon within the main part of the game and have listed the special abilities each one of them has. This page will be updated as more information is known.        Pikachu

Moves: Thunderbolt Quick Attack Details: Pikachu is the primary Pokémon used in the gameplay. It currently has no known special features compared to the other three Pokémon, but is seen to carry various items and Pokémon and has a plethora of powerful attacks that can aid in your quest Snivy Moves: Leaf Tornado  Details: Snivy is the Grass-type Pokémon that you can play as in the game. Snivy has the ability to increase the height of its jumps compared to other Pokémon by using its move: Leaf Tornado. This allows it to reach areas that are not as easily accessible to other Pokémon. Tepig Moves: Flame Charge Details: Tepig is the Fire-type Pokémon that you can play as in the game. Dotted around various areas, you will see some giant boulders that need breaking. The way to destroy these boulders is by using Tepig and having Tepig use Flame Charge to crash into the boulder. Oshawott Moves: Water Gun Details:               Oshawott is the Water-type Pokémon that you can play as in the game. In certain areas, you will find large bodies of water which require traversing. Oshawott is the only one of the four Pokémon who has the ability to swim through these areas to encounter the Pokémon.

mstow infernape

hello and welcome to the first move set of the week so this is some of the top ou move sets for there pokes (and maby some lower tires ) so i'm gona start with my fave poke infer nape so enjoy.

~ Overheat ~ Close Combat ~ U-turn / Grass Knot ~ Stone Edge / Mach Punch

252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe

One of Infernape's signature sets in Gen 4 will likely be a common variant used in the Gen 5 metagame due to the great offensive coverage it provides, and the constant pressure it puts onto opposing teams. Close Combat is a staple on the set, as it provides Infernape with a reliable STAB attack, the sheer force of the move after the boosts from STAB and Life Orb giving Infernape much of its wallbreaking capability. Likewise, Overheat also acts as a powerful special STAB move, and unlike Close Combat, it focuses on the task of dealing as much damage as possible in a single, powerful blow. U-turn allows Infernape to keep up any offensive momentum your team may have built, as it will allow you to make sure that you have a desirable match-up; also, U-turn can be used to scout for sets the opponent's Pokemon may be running, or the items they may hold. However, Grass Knot can be used to help deal with bulky Ground- and Water-types which switch in expecting a resisted Fire-type attack; therefore, Grass Knot provides great coverage alongside Infernape's dual STABs. The final moveslot is dependent on your preference, as although Stone Edge provides additional coverage with Infernape's other attacking moves, hitting Pokemon such as Gyarados, Mach Punch can be used to better deal with Pokemon Infernape does not outrun, such as Choice Scarf Tyranitar and Terrakion. Lastly, Hidden Power Ice can be used to deal with the likes of Gliscor, Landorus and Dragonite, as Infernape will be able to KO all three of them after Stealth Rock damage. done of smogon XD

mew 2 event

hi all exseting news kind of .Junichi Masuda aka pokemon sunday  has just announced the Mewtwo distribution on Pokemon Smash. He revealed that Mewtwo will be holding a King's Rock (increases opponent's flinching) and will know the attacks Psystrike, Shadow Ball, Aura Sphere, and a fourth attack which will be revealed next week. So i think it could be a new move like pyco cut going into the next set of tcg or not . Its OT is "PokeSuma" (Pokemon Smash). As reported before, it is at Level 70, inside a Cherish Ball, and has its typical Pressure ability. The distribution will take place over Wi-Fi from September 26th to October 31st for Japanese copies of Black and White.

The Pokémon Organized Play team has several exciting announcements regarding the upcoming 2011-2012 Play! Pokémon tournament season.
Major changes are underway for the new 2011-2012 Play! Pokémon tournament seasons for both Trading Card Game and Video Game players. These changes should add more excitement and opportunities to play and win throughout the year.
Please read through these new changes to see what’s in store for players this season.
Championship Points
Pokémon Championship Series events will now award Championship Points for top finishers. These points are cumulative, meaning you’ll never lose a point on the way to your ultimate goal of earning an invitation to the Pokémon World Championships!
Beginning with Battle Road Autumn events, you can find the Championship Point breakdown in each of Championship Series event FAQ, along with the prize listings. In addition, you can review the 2011 Play! Pokémon FAQ for details on what points are awarded, and what the event point limits are, and other important info for each series.
[Here's a page detailing more information about the points.]
Regional Championships
Beginning in 2011, North American Regional Championships will now take place multiple times per season. In the 2011-2012 season, Regional Championships will be held in mid-November, and again in mid-April. Our goal is to create more opportunities for players to attend “destination” events than in the past. In the long term, we hope to hold such events throughout the country each quarter. Visit the TCG Regional Championships page for more information.
Video Game Championships
Video Game Regional Championships in North America are now a part of the Play! Pokémon Regional Championship Series. Video Game Regional events will take place in the same locations and on the same weekends as the TCG Regional Championships. This means that the number of events in North America will increase to 15, including 2 events in Canada! TCG events will take place on Saturday, and VG events will take place on Sunday. Visit the Video Game Regional Championships page for more details!

Play points Beginning in early 2012, we’ll be implementing our Play! Points system to replace the existing Rewards Program. Players will earn Play! Points by simply attending qualifying Play! Pokémon events, with "destination events" earning you even more points. Play! Points will reward you for being an active Pokémon player—win or lose. Some special events each year will require Play! Points for entry. Plus, the top Play! Point earners in each division will earn Player of the Year honors for their dedication! We’ll have more details on the Play! Points program in the coming months. Until then, don’t worry; all qualifying events you attend in the months leading up to the launch of the system will count toward your Play! Points totals.
