  7. A bit annoyed about it being us only. There are tons of fans outside the us too. (me included) here’s hoping they’ll make it international

    Reply

  8. I am so confused…….Why are they having a sweepstakes in such a roundabout way? I guess it’s cool, but I’m not totally sure I’m going to spend my time looking for pokeballs all around the internet though.

    Reply

  12. I’m Canadian and I’m still going to do it for the downloads! I’m sure there are legal reasons for them not going international. Also what were the actual odds of a non-american winning it?

    Reply

  42. Okay, I gotta ask. Where exactly are you finding these. Are they hidden pokeballs somewhere, you just see the code floating around in text form?

    Reply

  44. Well I think this turned out to be a little anticlimactic. I assumed that because they tried to keep it hush hush it would be some big international competition. Oh well

    Reply

  47. Okay, they really messed up the site. I don’t know how to open them all but I got a complete list of what is under each Pokéball.
    First of Xerneas, then Clauncer, Bunnelby, Noivern, Yveltal, Spritzee, Helioptile, Pangoro, Sylveon, Litleo, Talonflame, Chespin, Fennekin, Froakie, Skrelp, Pancham, Gogoat, Dedenne, Honedge, Inkay, Swirlix, Malamar, Fletchling and Skiddo as the last Pokémon before the “Roll over for TRAINER TIPS”

    • This is what happens when they when they keep us caged up looking for information of Pokemon. GIVE US SOMETHING, ANYTHING, AND WE DEVOUR IT. WE WILL NOT BE SATED UNTIL IT IS NO MORE. *so that means however many people are here, suddenly there will be 25 spontaneous entries all in one day from all these random people.

  127. Welp, now to see if any of us get lucky and win something! Probably not, at least I know I won’t, I have HORRIBLE luck with this type of thing. Would like to say I’m at least hoping for the 3DS XL. It would be just a regular model, but it also would save me 200 bucks. After that, Pokemon X code, as I already bought Pokemon Y.

  132. Ugh I have ten codes to go, I already have Fletchling, Talonflame, Helioptile, Skiddo, Spritzee, Noivern, Dedenne, Fennekin, Chespin, Panchum, Honedge, Malimar, Xerneas, and Yveltal

  145. I think I figured out the problem. the official rules say you can’t enter more than 24 times per period. so if you enter “XY738A ” (the free entry code that doesnt unlock a pokemon), then you will be missing one and will have to wait until next period.

    Reply

  150. So that was a total waste of time. The downloads are mediocre at best, the chances of winning a physical prize is slim to none, and even if I were to win, I already have a 3ds and I already preordered both x and y. They should have released this at the beginning and used it as a way to officially reveal new pokemon. 1 every day. That would have been amazing

    Also, i entered even though i live in Canada, because it didn’t say anything about usa exclusivity.

        • if you have a residence in the usa you can use that as being part of the usa for the drawing if not then I am not sure how they will know.

          Reply

  167. i wonder if the 738 in the XY738A code is the total number of pokemon just like 1012 in xy1012 is the release date. that will equal only 89 additional pokemon. i hope I’m wrong because that awfully a very low number.

    Reply

    • That would mean we already know about half of the Pokemon. And really, based on what we have, assuming at least one evolution for a couple of them, particularly the fossils, we actually have like 50 Pokemon accounted for essentially, which is yeah, that is a LOW number.

      Reply

    • It also has an “A” in the name. In my opinion if we do get 89 Pokemon this Gen, we will receive the “B” portion of the 6th Gen and get a Gen 6.5 or something with another 50-60 or so Pokemon with probably the games XX, XY or Z or something.

  172. About 3 of the download links tanked. (404 Error)
    Which blows ’cause one of the ones I wanted was the Mega Blaziken one. ;~;

    Reply

  175. This is a bit off-topic, but its a little discovery I made that I haven’t seen anyone else talking about.

    The ability Rattled gets a boost!! 🙂

    Rattled was introduced as a new Dreamworld ability for several Pokemon. What it does is, increases your speed if your hit with a Bug/Ghost/Dark type move. While that seemed awesome, pretty much nobody used this ability online during Gen 5 because no good pokes had this ability.

    Well now that changed because…

    Fairy resists Bug and Dark. This means, a Pokemon like Granbull will probably raise to OU in 6th Gen. If Granbull becomes Normal/Fairy like people believe, this would make it immune to dragons, get a speed increase whenever it gets hit with a bug or dark attack (which it will now resist), and already has a whopping base 120 atk. Other pokes with this ability can be found here: http://www.serebii.net/abilitydex/rattled.shtml but out of all of them I can only image 3 of them being retconned to fairy. I’m not sure if Exploud would be:

    Sudowoodo – Rock/Fairy
    Dunspace – Normal/Fairy
    Granbull – Normal/Fairy

    Reply

      • I think it has the potential!! It’s not actually a tree but a rock. It mimics and fairies have the ability to mimic and what not. I also think Clamperl has the potential to be a water/fairy but then how would that would with Gorebyss/Huntail

        Reply

        • Water/Fairy? ….nonononononono! While I would agree if Gorebyss were to become a Fairy, if there must be a Water/Fairy, it MUST be Milotic. 😀

          Reply

          • yes yes, Milotic MUST become a water/fairy.

            I also think Lumineon will become a water/fairy. Its pretty much a forgotten pokemon and can use the boost. It is known as the “butterfly of the sea” and all of its pokedex entries talk about it getting its power from the moon and how people find it to be a beautiful fish. “Charm” was reclassified to be a fairy type move and Lumineon learns so many potential fairy moves.

            I also think Politoed, Alomomola, and Luvdisc are potential water/fairies.

          • It does have a look and characteristics. It summons rain when it comes into battle. Its ability alone is good enough to deem it one. Besides, there are 3 pokemon from cross evolution that can/should evolve into the following typings.

            Gloom is Grass
            Vileplume becomes Grass/Poison
            Bellossom stays Grass, should be Grass/Fairy

            Kirlia is Psychic
            Gallade becomes Psychic/Fighting
            Gardevoir stayed Psychic, but now is Psychic/Fairy

            Poliwhirl is Water
            Poliwrath becomes Water/Fighting
            yet Politoed remain Water and should be Water/Fairy

          • Kyorge can do that too. Bellossom should be Grass/Fairy. Gardevoir made sense so I could help it against Gallade. Still, I can’t see Politoed.

          • Well just cause YOU can’t see doesn’t mean it isn’t going to happen.

            I bet 100 bucks it does. And on Oct 12th I will come find you on here to so I can remind you of your Sudowoodo/Politoed doubts!! I will laugh right in your face!!

          • That’s a bit rude and blatant. I never said I didn’t agree with you. As @Jordin12345:disqus said, it’s a theory. Still, go ahead if you want. Yet, if it is not. You owe me some money. ;D

        • Nah. I don’t think Clamperl will be Water/Fairy. Sudowoodo is a bit far fetched to be Fairy. It’s a Pseudo Tree. It doesn’t have anything to do with he Fairy Origin. I could see Milotic become Water/Fairy as @daemonblitzkrieg:disqus said.

          Reply

    • I could see this happen. I don’t know why you have so much dislikes over stating your THEORY. If it comes true then it comes true, if it doesn’t then it didn’t. I don’t know why there is so fuss over this!

    Reply

  185. I was looking at old cards, and I saw this Clefairy card. it’ll be cool if they made both of its moves into real moves for 6th gen, “Fairy Power” and “Moon Impact”. Moon Impact could be the fairy equivalent of Giga Impact. That’d be cool right. I always thought the cards had cool moves

    Reply

    • It’s a sweepstakes. You enter the codes (DO NOT ENTER THE ENTRY CODE! ENTER THE REST) Each code you enter counts as an entry. You get to win prizes like a 3DS XL, X & Y, Plushies (Fennekin, Froakie, Chespin, and Pikachu) Cards, and an Official B2/W2 Pokedex guide.

  190. Oh yeah, what happened to all the ‘look at us, we’re so conscious of all our international fans that we’re giving these games a simultaneous global release!’?

    Dicks.

    Reply

    • You know, this isn’t even in JAPAN. Where they are FROM. That means they may do their own thing in other areas, but as it stands, this particular promotion is dedicated to USA, because the rewards for them would be easier *cheaper* to distribute inside these boarders alone. This doesn’t take away at all form a simultaneous release, because this is just a promotion. This isn’t important I mean, how many 3DS are being given away? One. Games? 8, 4 for each. Besides, don’t forget, the 3DS IS region locked, so that may have been a factor too. Companies do this all the time, and sometimes we never hear about them, just this one caught our eye.

      Reply

      • If I don’t say this it would bother me. They give out the prizes each drawing. Four drawings, 4 3DSs and 16 of each game, for example.

        Reply

        • Ah. Guess I just misread it, I was thinking it would be more one game of each version each week, and then at the end they’d give out the 3DS on the last week. Thanks for the Correction.

          Reply

      • That this is outside of Japan is neither here nor there. The fact is some fans are getting a big, hyped promotion that other fans aren’t. Being in the UK I’m damn tired of being left out simply because of where I live, and I’m pretty sure those in Australia who have always been given this kind of stuff last if ever at all are sick of it too. After all the fuss about how Pokemon is finally going global and international fans are finally being given as much notice as Japanese and US fans, here comes this kick in the balls.

        So no, sorry, this IS important, and does take away from everything they’ve been doing lately, because it feels like 2 steps forward and 1 step back.

          it took mine and it had an _ in it so I am not sure why it would not take yours for it.
          As for the letter/number thing it may not go thru if you did not enter it right so that could be a problem

          Reply

          • I tried a few times with the same mail adresse, so I guess I had one or two times the right letter/number blah. Guess the problem is my mail. It’s the same as my name here, so maybe the first four letters are the problem. Or that it’s a german provider… Hm.

          • it could be your provider or you name as it may be the word. I don’t know what else you could do but use a diff e-mail. This is for U.S.A. so it could be blocking your provider.

          • Tried another one. Without any words inside which could cause issues, but again another german provider. Guess it’s the provider >_> Well, I guess I don’t need the stuff, but it’s mean nontheless.

          • that sucks that you can’t participate and I agree it is not fair but I am not sure why they are doing it for one region and not others.

          • I don’t know either, but the second one I tried is my mail for university purposes… So, it’s really just my name. My name is really anything but offensive XD The only thing that I can imagine is the *.de at the end oô

    participation, you will no longer be able to enter. Administrator is responsible for the

    functionality of the Sweepstakes. Every entrant must follow the steps described in these

    Official Rules in order to participate in this Sweepstakes and their registration will be

    accepted and approved only in compliance with COPPA.

    After registering, you will proceed to the main Poké Ball code (“Poké Ball Code”) entry page.

    Follow the hints to locate a Poké Ball Code (hints will be provided throughout the Promotion

    Period); there are twenty-four (24) Poké Ball Codes available. For each Poké Ball Code

    entered, you automatically will receive one (1) entry into the applicable Weekly Entry Period

    drawing. If you are unable to locate a Poké Ball Code, use XY738A (“Free Code”) as your

    Poké Ball Code and you automatically will receive one (1) entry into the applicable Weekly

    Entry Period drawing each time you enter the Free Code. The Free Code will only award a

    sweepstakes entry and will not unlock a Pokémon character on the site.

    Limit: Each entrant may receive up to twenty-four (24) Sweepstakes entries during the

    Promotion Period. Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same email address.

    Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using

    multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods

    will void that entrant’s entries and that entrant may be disqualified. Use of any automated

    system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of a

    dispute as to any registration, the authorized account holder of the email address used to

    register will be deemed to be the entrant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural

    person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or

    other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with

    the submitted address. Each potential winner may be required to show proof of being the

    authorized account holder or the child of the authorized account holder.

    5. Prize Drawings: Administrator is an independent judging organization whose decisions

    as to the administration and operation of the Sweepstakes and the selection of the potential

    winners are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Administrator will

    randomly select the potential Weekly Entry Period winners from all eligible entries received

    during the respective Weekly Entry Period on or around the dates listed in Section 3 above.

    Non-winning entries for each Weekly Entry Period will carry over into subsequent Weekly

    Entry Period drawings. The potential winners (or potential winner’s parent or legal guardian

    if potential winner is a minor) will be notified by email. If a potential winner (or potential

    winner’s parent or legal guardian if potential winner is a minor) of any prize cannot be

    contacted, fails to provide any requested information within the required time period, or the

    prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits the prize. Receiving a prize

    is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. In the event that a potential winner

    of a prize valued over $25 is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the prize to an

    alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Only three

    (3) alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded.

    Unclaimed prizes valued at $25 or under will not be awarded. Prizes will be fulfilled

    approximately 8-10 weeks after the conclusion of the Sweepstakes.6. Weekly Entry Period Prizes: Prizes will be awarded for each Weekly Entry Period as

    outlined below.

    COPPA.

    9. General Conditions: Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the

    Sweepstakes, or any part of it, if any fraud, technical failures, human error or any other

    factor impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Sweepstakes, as determined by

    Sponsor in its sole discretion. In such event, Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may elect to

    hold a random drawing from among all eligible entries received up to the date of

    discontinuance for any or all of the prizes offered herein. Sponsor reserves the right, in its

    sole discretion, to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or

    the operation of the Sweepstakes or to be acting in violation of the Official Rules of this or

    any other promotion or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any

    person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a

    violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves

    the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law.

    Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of

    that provision.

    incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by entrants, printing errors or by any of

    the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Sweepstakes; (2) technical failures of any kind, including, but not limited to malfunctions, interruptions, or

    to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from

    entrant’s participation in the Sweepstakes or receipt or use or misuse of any prize. If for

    any reason an entrant’s entry is confirmed to have been erroneously deleted, lost, or

    otherwise destroyed or corrupted, entrant’s sole remedy is another entry in the

    Sweepstakes, if it is possible. No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded. In

    the event that production, technical, seeding, programming or any other reasons cause

    more than the stated number of prizes as set forth in these Official Rules to be available

    and/or claimed, Sponsor reserves the right to award only the stated number of prizes by a

    random drawing among all legitimate, un-awarded, eligible prize claims.

    11. Disputes: Except where prohibited, entrant agrees that: (1) any and all disputes,

    claims and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Sweepstakes or any prize

    connection with the Sweepstakes, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,

    the laws of the State of Michigan without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law

  221. I think I did use the free code (OOPS) but I can’t unlock, like, half to the balls even though I’m using the right codes. Are they timed as in, I entered too many too quickly, or are the codes refreshed, or what? Do we have better chances in the sweepstakes if we unlock more balls? That would be awesome.

    Reply

  223. One of the codes is called “XY738A”

    please don’t tell me this is an indicator that their is a 738 pokemon in total (the website is called “Gotta Catch ‘Em All).

    That would mean there is only 80 something new pokemon this gen 🙁

    Take note of the “A” in the code though. If there is only 86 something new Pokemon, I’m expecting there to be a XX, XY type of game with another new 86 pokemon dubbed gen 6.5

  227. One quick question then I’ll let this slip under the rug. I’m out of the loop or something because everywhere I look, it says the image of Pokemon Z is fake. Has anyone translated the Japanese from the supposed Pokemon Z image? It looks pretty legit to me…. But anyone can fake anything.

  235. I’m not sure I get it. Will I still I have a chance to win, per say a Pokemon X e-shop download, if I enter a wallpaper set code?
