Pokémon Mega Get!

Pokémon Mega Get! is the name of a new arcade game for Pokémon, by Bandai-Namco. The goal is simply: throwing actual Pokémon in order to catch as many Pokémon within the time limit. If you manage to do so, you will get 1 collectible cards (out of 24). And if you get a good score, you will get to meet rare Pokémon (Mythical and Legendary). The game features 3 stages and 3 partner Pokémon (Chespin, Fennekin, Froakie).
