Hoopa is going to be downloadable to Generation VI Pokémon games (XY/ORAS) via a serial code given at participating retailers. Some of the European locations and dates are known, but details for North America have yet to be announced. Most likely this will be available worldwide by the end of the year, with US owners promised Hoopa by the end of the year.
The Pokémon Company International is pleased to announce the upcoming character distribution of Mythical Hoopa. The distribution will allow fans to gain this special Level 50 Pokémon, which cannot be found during normal gameplay. Fans will need to have a copy of Pokémon X, Pokémon Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby orPokémon Alpha Sapphire, and a system from the Nintendo 3DS family. Mythical Hoopa has the Magician Ability and is recognized by its two horns and the golden ring that adorns its body. The ring allows it to bend dimensions and move objects across great distances. Hoopa’s moves include Hyperspace Hole, Psychic, Astonish, and Nasty Plot.
- UK: Oct 23 – Nov 5 in GAME stores
- Germany: Oct 16 – Nov 7

ps- Hope you like our spooky fall theme!
Well that sucks for the US……wish we at least had a time period that’s not just “by the end of the year”
Meanwhile, Pokémon Shuffle for Android still isn’t out in Mainland Europe. I’m seriously starting to doubt TPCi’s competence.
neither for iOS 🙁
Download the apk file
God dang it. I’m American and I want it D:
On a happier note, I’m going to Pokemon Symphonic Evolution tonight! I’m so hyped!
Almost 10 months later. Ridiculous. Expect Volcanion in at least a year
Why can’t they just release it worldwide!? Uggghhhh…
I wonder when the released date for the Hoopa Movie in the U”S?
We still don’t know. They’re probably waiting for the movie and there’s only so little time left of “later this year”. But what I don’t get is, why release Hoopa in the U.K. weeks earlier?
Meh. I wish they would release the legendary trio in one game and have side quests/stories for them. I could care less.
Cool
Back from Symphonic Evolutions. That was the best thing ever.
A bit off the subject, but is anyone worried that CoroCoro hasn’t released yet? I have a strange gut feeling this month may not feature the game(s) everyone has been wanting aka Z or X2/Y2. Well, there’s still a bit of time. But time is running out. We got tonight, tomorrow night, the night of the 11th, the night of the 12th (which happens to be my birthday), and then the 13th at the latest (which I doubt it’ll be that late).

Don’t worry fellow Americans!

Lol no. I have more important things to worry about. It has a set release date. We’ll get it at some point guaranteed. Whether or not it has pokemon info, it probably won’t be of any importance unless it teases an announcement.
I think that there are a few possibilities for the game reveal. They could wait until late October, around the release of XY&Z on the 29th. They could release it in the next couple days to correlate with CoroCoro. They could wait until December for a Nintendo Direct reveal, much like Majora’s Mask 3D. Less likely, they could wait until 2016. I’m so done with waiting though, so I just don’t care anymore. CoroCoro should definitely leak by Tuesday.
Plot twist: they wait two more days to announce Z; because XY came out October 12, 2013.
That seems like a logical day to do it, as well. I will be a changed person if they actually do that.
Can someone tell me the appeal of event pokemon? Why can’t we catch these pokemon in-game? ORAS started to get this right with Deoxys.
It’s a status symbol, really. I can say “I have two Dream Ball Arceus and you don’t”.
WHY?! Why the retail download codes again?
Several Japanese trademark databases have been updated with a filing for “XY&Z.” Specifically, Nintendo, Creatures, and Gamefreak have been named as its owners. The trademark was filed in September but went public today
Serebii apparently already said it was an anime trademark tho I believe……..
