Guested Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Originally announced by Masuda at a fan event at the Fukuoka Pokemon Center as being a Pikachu with Extremespeed to be distributed at Kyushu Shinkansens (to celebrate the one year anniversary of the full completion of the Kyushu bullet train line) (and one year anniversary of the Fukuoka Pokemon Center moving)... this event has exploded into a MASSIVE "Super-Powerful" Hoenn Pokemon giveaway. A Pikachu knowing ExtremeSpeed will be distributed wirelessly on Shinkansens running in Kyushu from March 1st - May 6th. OT: さくら Gender: Female Level: 50 Ability: Static Moveset: ExtremeSpeed Thunderbolt Grass Knot Brick Break Hold item: none Ball: Cherish Ball Ribbon: Classic Ribbon Additionally: Between March 17th and May 6th, a plethora of powerful Pokemon will be distributed by IR at 8 different train stations in Kyushu. During each time period, you can randomly get one of three Pokemon. Distribution 1: March 17 - April 1 will be Sceptile, Blaziken, and Swampert. Distribution 2: April 2 - April 22 will be Milotic, Ludicolo, and Walrein. Distribution 3: April 23 - May 6 will be Metagross, Salamence, and Gardevoir. During the same time period, you are able to visit other stations to try again (meaning there must be unique WC IDs for each station and each distribution period). Furthermore! If you take the Pokemon you received at a station to the Pokemon Center in Fukuoka, you can receive one of the two main Legendary Pokemon from Hoenn (at level 80). Groudon will be distributed from March 17 - April 15 Kyogre will be distributed from April 16 - May 6 The Pikachu from the trains can't be used to get these Pokemon, it has to be one of the station Pokemon. http://www.jrkyushu.co.jp/pokemon-campaign/index.jsp (It'd be nice to source PP.org as well if you are getting the translation of this news from here, from me) Edited April 13, 2012 by Guested ridiculous update
ReignOfComputer Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Potential foreshadowing of the return of Hoenn?
Guested Posted February 27, 2012 Author Posted February 27, 2012 Hoenn = Kyushu So that's the reasoning behind the Pokemon choice. But who knows.
Nigoli Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 This is what Card ID tampering / multiple cartridges are for. It's still not as bad or redundant as TfE. I think it'll attract more people than those older Events anyway. There couldn't be a more interesting set of Events before the Movie ones are announced, and especially before those next game releases. It would definitely be nice to have Groudon and Kyogre after the Rayquaza Event from the poll too.
Nintendo1252 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Probably Blaziken and Swampert will go along with Sceptile... Edit: Win. What next, Salamence in the third distro? Edited March 17, 2012 by Nintendo1252
randomspot555 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Huh, another useless Pikachu. ExtremeSpeed Pikachu is WAY better than Fly or Surf chu.
King Impoleon Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Probably Blaziken and Swampert will go along with Sceptile... Yes! I think the same way
Guested Posted March 16, 2012 Author Posted March 16, 2012 We've got an update, and the other Pokemon in Sceptile's distribution are Swampert and Blaziken. More details here.
Gallade Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 My guess for the last 4 unknown pokémon: - Walrein - Flygon - Salamance - Aggron We will see!
Guested Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 They had some move descriptions up on Sceptile that didn't match its moves. The descriptions made me think it was a moveset for Aggron, so that's pretty possible, I think.
Agonist Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Apparently these CAN be shiny, as Xfr has uploaded several onto Pokecheck
Guested Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 Apparently these CAN be shiny, as Xfr has uploaded several onto Pokecheck Yes. http://projectpokemon.org/events/jp-V.php These Wonder Cards do not have the normal shiny check in place, so it is possible for them to be shiny color-variants. As far I've seen, this series, Groudon, and the Sakura Pikachu were the first ones to have this.
Agonist Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Ah, I hadn't seen that you'd updated the description. Presumably Kyogre can also be recieved shiny as well.
Guested Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 Yup, probably! As well as the other two distro groups. But I'm not gonna officially post anything on the Gallery until we know for sure (cause that's how I like to do thiings).
Agonist Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 It's interesting that they removed the shiny check from those wondercards though, I wonder why they did that?
Guested Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 Not sure, but these are one of the events that are less "official." They're still OFFICIAL events, they just aren't directly managed by Pokemon or Nintendo, I don't think. There hasn't been any news about these on the official Pokemon websites, only on the JR Kyushu site. Very similar to the ANA events, etc. Perhaps that choice was made on the JR side? Or, perhaps this will be a new trend for all/most/some events from now on?
Guest Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Damn son, I like how they can be obtained as shinies.
Kyogre1 Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) nevermind Edited March 18, 2012 by Kyogre1 please delete
Guested Posted March 18, 2012 Author Posted March 18, 2012 I think they may have updated the wording on some stuff during one of the updates, or I just misread it the first time in my haste. BUT The bit about not being able to get Groudon/Kyogre if you got Pikachu is incorrect. It says that you can't USE the Pikachu to get Groudon/Kyogre, it has to be one of the station Pokemon.
Guest Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Heh, that's a relief (even though it doesn't really matter to me.) Otherwise I would have wondered who would pick Pikachu over Kyogre/Groudon.
King Impoleon Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Two new pokemon are Announced for the Second Distribution: Ludicolo - Fake Out - Ice Beam - Hydropump - Gigadrain and Walrein - Ice Beam - Surf - Hail - Sheer cold?
Nigoli Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 ^ Ludicolo's ??? is Fake Out Walrein's ??? is Hail. Sheer Cold is also correct. http://www.jrkyushu.co.jp/pokemon-campaign/table8.html | http://www.jrkyushu.co.jp/pokemon-campaign/table9.html
Guested Posted April 13, 2012 Author Posted April 13, 2012 The official site was updated today to reveal info on the final station distributions. The three pokemon are: Metagross, Salamence, and Gardevoir. Salamence knows: Dragon Dance (egg), Dragon Claw (higher level), Outrage (pre-Gen V or DW), Aerial Ace . Gardevoir knows: Hypnosis (higher level), Thunderbolt , Focus Blast , and Psychic. Information regarding Kyogre's moveset was also updated. Kyogre knows: Ice Beam, Ancient Power, Water Spout, and Thunder . Gallery entries have been updated here: http://projectpokemon.org/events/jp-V.php
