Pokénchi

Last week, it was confirmed that Rinka and Abarerukun (the hosts of the Pokénchi / Pokémon no Uchi Atsumaru variety show, on TV Tokyo) recently visited Game Freak. And during this week’s episode, we will get to see a video about that little trip of theirs, featuring new details about Pokémon Sun and Moon (though it’s not clear if it will be the same thing as what will be revealed on Friday).

Here’s the preview for that episode:

Pokémon distributions

Last week, details about two distributions were revealed:

1. the Simisear distribution in Pokémon Center / Stores (lasting until July 15th). Here’s details about the Pokémon itself:

• Level: 5
• Hold item: Air Balloon
• Moves: Work Up (not learnable in Gen VI), Hone Claws, Power-up Punch, Giga Impact.

2. Shiny Xerneas and Yveltal: those two Pokémon will be distributed at the Japan Expo next week (in Paris), from July 7 th to 10th. It’s the very same Pokémon as those distributed in Japan, North America, and Europe in the past few months.

Pokémon GO

Last week, it was announced that the field tests for Pokémon GO would end on June 30th, and after that date, the beta version of the game will not work anymore. If you participated, there’s some bad news for you: it will not be possible to transfer the Pokémon caught to the final version of the game.

Here’s the Top 5 of Pokémon caught during the field tests:

• Rattata
• Pidgey
• Meowth
• Gastly
• Abra
