Screenshots of ‘The Thieves & 1,000 Pokémon’

The upcoming 3DS mini-game called ‘Thieves & 1,000 Pokémon’ will be available from June 5 until September 30 for free on the Nintendo eShop. Players amass an army of Pokémon through the StreetPass function of the 3DS, gaining Pokémon when they pass someone playing the same game, and use their team to defeat enemies. The game is a tie-in for the upcoming film Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction.

Players who bring their game to the screening of the movie will get a special surprise at the theater which can then be transferred to Pokémon X & Y.

  1. Damn Japanese players get everything when they take their 3DS to the movies
    (On an unrelated side note, I had a dream where I was a playing as myself in Mario Kart and my Kart was the Bike from Pokemon XY…I think it’s a sign)

  2. I’m back from packing…and everyone’s gone.

    Anyway, the screenshots remind me of the Paper Mario Series.

  3. So is this game gonna be like the 3DS’s Streetpass Mii Plaza game Warrior’s Way (Streetpass Battle in Europe) with all the army gathering?

    Though unlike that game, it seems that the starter pokemon you amass can’t be changed type unlike the armies in Warlord’s Way… plus there don’t seem to be visible Rock Paper Scissors mechanics so far.

  4. I love that art style, looks so cool. I really hope this comes to the west but honestly if it did there’s hardly anyone to spotpass. I would have like two Chespins and a Froakie. More like “The Thieves & 3 Pokémon”. I’ll just have to stop by Japan after my trip to France to get that Vivillon 😛

    • if nobody on here has one, there are a couple groups on facebook that are dedicated to trading, or sharing friend safari info, so you could probably get one through those 🙂

  6. On another note, Dedenne was confirmed as part of Japan’s next Pokemon TCG Set, Rising Fist. That gives me quite the motivation to go buy some packs. Only for the Dedenne XD

  7. OMG I’m totally signing up for the Fairy Friendly tournament aeuwheiuhiuhdiouwehdiuownuwhdfoui 0_0

    I’m totally gonna win that. KING OF FAIRIES MWAHAHAHAH. And then there’s the Halloween Party tournament this autumn where everyone has to use Ghost Pokemon, and HAS to have a Gorgourist on their team XD.

  8. All from Pokemon Global Link & Serebii’s Twitter:

    In a letter on the PGL, Morimoto says that he believes that ORAS will change the GEN VI battle environment. I’m so hype. The goosebumps that surged through my arm.

    And there is shit load of new tournaments coming to Pokemon Global Link:

    -Eevee friendly (Rotation battles and you can only use eeveelutions)

    -All Star Battle (You can use up to 2 mythical Pokemon your team (Mew, Jirachi) but Diancie isn’t allowed for some reason)

    -Ultra Fast Competition (you can’t view your opponents team before you battle, like the Gen 4 days. Zoroark will probably run wild in this tourny)

    -Fairy Friendly (Only Fairy Pokemon minus Diancie are allowed. Battle style hasn’t been set yet)

    -Halloween Party – Limited to Ghost type Pokemon, and must have 1 Gorgeuist on your team

    *there will also be a Red & Green competition where you can only use Poke’s from the first 151 and can’t have hold items. 6vs6.

  9. So if you could only bring one Ghost Type to this Battle who would you bring (No Mega Banettes or Mega Gengars….and sableye)

    • *things to note*

      -I made Metagross lose it’s Psychic typing (it’s been done before, Aggron loses it’s dual Rock typing upon evolution).

      -Altaria would be THEE pokemon to use to break weather conditions in battle.

      – You can come in with a regular Speed Boost Blaziken, then when you expect the opponent to Thunder wave you, mega evolve into Limber preventing them from cutting that speed drop lol.

      -Thick Fat would work wonders for Tropius since its weak to both Fire & Ice

      -Jynx is the only Pokemon that is Ice/Psychic. It’ll remain unique by becoming the only Ice/Fairy Pokemon.

      -Shell Smash on Contrary Torkoal would make your defenses go to crazy levels. It’d be the ultimate staller with Toxic etc.

      -Serene Grace Mega Milotic, spam those Water Pulses to confuse the foe. Spam that Scald to burn your foe LOL. spam that Ice Beam to freeze!!! Spam that Dragonbreath to paralyze!! Spam that Iron Tail to lower defense!!!!!!! LOOL.

      -No Guard Sceptile would be interesting. It’d be the fastest sleep inducer with “Grasswhistle” – 100% cause of No Guard and hits even grass Pokemon 0_0 It also has Earthquake to take care of Zapdos (No guard).. and some more stellar attacks up its sleeve. Especially if Altaria becomes Dragon/Fairy, it’d be able to Dragon Pulse or Dragon Claw it into oblivion.

  14. In ORAS. They should really make Gardevoir 100% Female. XD It’s odd seeing Male Gardevoir. Gallade should be changed to be a basic evolution for Kirlia if it was male!

  15. I know why Alpha Saphire starts with “Alpha” and Omega Ruby starts with “Omega”!!!

    Alpha is the first Greek letter whereas Omega is the last. So why give Ruby the Omega and Sapphire the Alpha if Ruby is always written before Sapphire?

    In the Pokédex, Kyogre is #382 and Groudon is #383.

  16. What pokemon from gens 4, 5, and 6 would you like to see in the ORAS pokedex? I would personally add more electric, ice, and fire types. Specifically Luxray deserves another chance to shine, it hasn’t been featured since gen 4. Galvantula would be nice too. For fire I’d add Houndoom, Darmnitan, and Pyroar. For Ice I’d add Weavile, Cloyster and Dewgong.

    Reply
  17. To those who have caught a shiny, have you ever experienced what I call “The Shiny Excuse”? It’s when you add a shiny Pokémon to your team ONLY because you like how it looks.

    It’s happened to me before with a Shiny Weedle that eventually evolved into a Beedrill in FR. It’ll happen again when I trade my Shiny Hawlucha to the XY Sequels and use her (she’s female) on my team. 🙂

    Reply
    • I’ve always promised myself that the first Shiny i catch would be a permanent Team Member, but as awesome as a Shiny Marowak sound to be my first shiny but it just didn’t hold up in battle….so sad but it barely leveled and it couldn’t take a hit
      Me i really never use shinies on my team except my Shiny Chesnaught Sherman

      Reply
    • I rarely change my team. Once I have it set, it rarely gets changed.
      But there have been exceptions. But not with a shiny. I suck at finding shinies D:

  18. I need some ideas for a really good emotional and exciting fantasy story

    anyone got any ideas ( since i know we junglers are VERY creative XD)

    • I highly recommend The Black Tattoo. Maybe not too emotional, but it’s full of adventure. Warning though, it is quite controversial in terms of religion.

      Reply
    • Once you start writing, DO NOT take long breaks. It gives you time to think that your story sucks (even if it is pretty good) and it just takes longer and longer and longer to get back to it.

      Reply
    • Ooooohohohooskfn
      Um, involve dragons.
      But that is just me.
      Maybe have a curse-stricken child run away from home and find a dragon mentor to help him/her with her abilities. And they realize their village is being attacked and see their parents die in front of him/her.
      And he/she try to forgive the people who did that, but he/she is struggling, and then he/she realize that they are in danger of dying out, which is why they had to do what they had done, and the child struggles with the conflict of helping them or leaving them.
      I dunno, my brain is just not up to thinking.
      Hopefully you find something better!

      • yeah

        i was thinking of a boy named Sync whose father mysteriously dissapeared when he was 7 and before he left he gave he tattooed a 6 digit code on his arm

        10 years later Sync stumbles upon his dad’s work files and finds a file called prism.wrld which needs a 6 digit code to access ( aka code on his arm) it then transfers him to the Prism world to find his father is in this world and he needs to save him by collecting the 5 crystals around this new world

        he also encounters a anti hero who sacrifices himself in the end like grovyle :3
        sound any good?

        Reply
        • That sounds great! 😀
          I love me some good sacrificing, especially in Grovyle’s case.
          Seriously, that game made me cry.
          Even after the many times I play it. I still cry like a baby.

          Reply
          • exactly! its my favorite game tied with tales of the abyss

            i wanna bring alot of emotion into this story 🙂

          • That would do it. Maybe, in the end, make his father disappear, saying ‘You done good, son’.
            Too much? :3
            It’s one of my favorite Pokemon spin-off games, and even beats other main games as well. The latest Mystery Dungeon game, I haven’t beat it yet, but so far I haven’t cried as much and there is less emotion.

          • yeah i was gonna plot twist that the villian is his father but corrupted

            and before he dies he states: Its time to go home
            and sync says: But arent you already home?
            “No, this world is no longer my home, i’ve made reckless decisions in my life but youve came after all ive done to you and still beleive in me. Now its time for me to beleive the good in myself. Primo points to the sky ( aka heaven)
            ” That is my real home

  19. Why does it seem like every Mega Speculation involves adding the Dragon Type?

    Charizard: Half-Confirmed
    Gyarados: Busted Theory
    Ampharos: Confirmed
    Yanmega: Speculation

  20. Some Pokémon ditch (lose) a type when evolving/Mega Evolving. How would you feel if a dual typed Dragon Pokémon ditched its own Dragon type?

  21. Hey guys. Before I go full focus mode and start working on my homework, was anything, even the slightest piece of information, leaked towards ORAS?
    By the time you read this, I’ll probably already be working on my homework, so I apologize for not responding to your comment
    I’ll stop by in a while. I have a project due on Tuesday that will take up ALL of my weekend, so I don’t know when I’ll be able to stop by. Probably early morning or around this time of day during the week.

          • I’m going to tell you a little story
            Delibird was my absolute favorite pokemon of gen two when i first heard of him when i was flipping through a game guide in a blockbuster (this is a old story)
            I never got Silver or gold when i was a kid
            I used it immensely in Pokemon Stadium 2
            But when i finally got myself a Delibird after waiting to Soul Silver i painfully discovered it totally sucked ass i was devastated….

          • I’m sorry to hear that. A lot of “little ones” I liked in the Anime ended up sucking in the games. Why can one trainer in the show use a “little one” really well, but I can’t. It’s not fair.

            I envy Ash for using Quilava because I really like Quilava more than Typhlosion. I want to use it on my team, but even with Evolite, I fear it won’t do well in battle.

            Mawile got a Mega and the Fairy typing though, so I’m more content than before.

  24. I’m jumping in the Dragon Mega Bandwagon.

    Mega Mienfoo
    Fighting/Dragon
    Regenerator

    I gave it the Dragon Type because Mienfoo is a Martial Arts Master, and Masters in the Chiniese Culture are known as Dragons.

  31. On the topic about trainer designs. Brendon and May would defentaly have different skin tones, eye colours, and hair colours at the start of the selection. I think their re-design would show it more! Similar to the way X & Y had it!

  32. Just so you know. Wally likely had Asthma. He moves to a town with “fresher air” because of how bad his Asthma was. When it became better he started adventuring a bit. This was mostly shown in Pokemon Adventure when he carried around a fresh oxygen tank!

  33. also iif we have trainer customization we can finally see brendan’s real hair XD without the white hat! Even though im probably gonna keep it on cause i love it’s design XD

  34. Mega Ludicolo
    Grass/Water
    uhh how about Defiant since nobody will bring his buzz down
    And he’ll have big all maraca bulbs in his arms and a bigger Lily pad Sombrero

    Mega Shiftry
    Grass/Dark
    honestly i can’t think of a good ability
    And he’ll get bigger fans, bigger better looking tengu-geta shoes and his hair is super long and have orbs binding it into a ponytail

  35. If that pic turns out to be true, I wonder if he found out those names through further hacking of XY. Cause I hear ram dumping is 100% complete now, and that’s how that song got leaked.

      • LOL!!! It should though. Hopefully they don’t make us wait post game to evolve stuff like Roselia, Nosepass etc.

        HGSS they made us wait post game to find a shiny stone =( to evolve togetic

        Reply
          • I just thought this to myself when I was using the Vs. Recorder

            I also wouldn’t mind battling random route trainers again, like in HGSS. Maybe have a trainer call us up like “hey! get your butt over here! I found a Mawilite stone on route 119 but I really don’t need it, its yours! I’ll be here waiting for ya”.

  36. LEAKS FOR MY ANNOUNCEMENT HAVE RISEN FROM AN UNKNOWN SOURCE!! (Creds to the maker of the picture!!)

    The source says: “this is apparently a teaser of a full picture, as the full picture will be revealed at a later date. What do you think it is?”

  39. New megas ability ideas:
    Shiftry: Nullify (The opposing pokemon’s item is rendered useless)
    Ludicolo: Drizzle
    Sceptile: Tough Claws
    Swampert: Adaptability (only cuz I really doubt Sap sipper would be his ability but who knows?) :p

    Reply
    • I seriously doubt Swampert will get Sap Sipper because that’s just too OP, and I’m using Swampert!!! I’d like it’s ability to be Ground Control (Turns Normal Type Moves into Ground Type moves) because I’m sick of Earthquake, and imagine Ground Return and Strength!

      Everyone else sounds good to me.

      Reply
      • Sap Sipper Swampert isn’t OP, it’s actually pretty lackluster given the lack of Grass types in competitive anyway. And if you’re up against a Grass type, just switch. Plus, Swampert’s biggest problem that separates it from Quagsire and Gastrodon is a lack of recovery. Regenerator Mega Swampert would be the best option IMO.
