OCTOBER 2013 LEGENDARY POKEMON GIVEAWAY

Hi all,

With the end of the Shiny Arcanine promotion, it's now time to bring on the next challenger!  

This month's giveaway will run a little longer and be a bit different from the previous ones hosted here.  As the prize is a super rare and highly unique Pokemon, the stakes are a little higher!

Here are the specifics and rules of this giveaway!

First, the Pokemon up for grabs this month is a Shiny Rayquaza.  Check out the screen shots to the left to see the Pokemon's stats and moves.  This Pokemon was a special distribution in Japan and ran for a very limited time.  The Pokemon's original trainer is Nobunaga, Japan's first Emperor.  Although in Pokemon Conquest, his Pokemon is Zekrom, the Rayquaza was a special cross-promotion for Pokemon and

Nobunaga's Ambition made available for Pokemon White Version and Pokemon Black Version through Wi-Fi distribution .

How to Enter:

First, you must Like my Facebook Page HERE

Second, comment on the event with what is your favorite Pokemon type.  Your comment will earn one entry into the competition.  To gain bonus entries you need to refer a friend to the page.  Have your friend comment with your name and their favorite Pokemon type and you will each receive two bonus entries! For your friend's entries to be valid, they must also like my Facebook page.

The contest will run from 10/2/13 until midnight Central Time 11/1/13 and there must be at least 50 unique entrants for the prize to be awarded.

So, get your friends involved and you have a higher chance of winning!  Remember, if we don't reach 50 comments from unique people who all like the page Rayquaza will disappear back into the tall grass!

I bet this Pokemon will look amazing with the new graphics of Pokemon X and Y!

Let's get lots of people involved and talk Pokemon and other awesome things!!

Remember, to receive Rayquaza, you must have access to Wi-Fi and be willing to give out your friend code for the trade to occur.  I really don't care what Pokemon you send back, feel free to send a Lv. 3 Lillipup if you'd like!  Good luck and best wishes!

POKEMON STARTERS GIVEAWAY 2013!

Hey guys!  It's time for Multiples Of Zero's second Pokemon Giveaway!

For this promotion, I want to know which Pokemon generation has your favorite starter Pokemon.  Which was your first generation that introduced you to the series?  Let me know and you could walk away with a set of starters from generations I-V!  That's right!!  You could win all the starters, from Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle to Snivy, Tepig and Oshawott.  These starters have all been bred legitimately by myself and will be distributed either as eggs, or level 1 Pokemon.  The breeding process is done at the Pokemon Day Care by breeding with a Ditto from Japan, which means increased chances of receiving a Shiny Pokemon if taken as an egg due to the Masuda Method of breeding.

So, what are you waiting for?  Like my Facebook Page and comment on the milestone for a chance to win the ultimate set of starters!  Tell your friends!

Pokemon Conquest and gamestop are teaming up to bring it this June

Pokemon Conquest is now incredibly close!  With a US release date of June 16th this game really snuck up since it's announcement earlier this year.  This strategy RPG will blend Pokemon with Nobunaga's ambition like it has never been done before in an all new Pokemon experience.  As the game draws near, some tasty morsels of information have come forth.

The first is a message on the official site, http://www.pokemonconquest.com/en-us/news, which talks about upcoming downloable episodes and content via Nintendo WFC.

The second is a pre-order announcement from Gamestop detailing a way to have ten Pokemon under your command from the start of the game.  If you pre-order by June 16th and pick up your game by June 26th you will gain access to Emolga, Lapras, Pikachu, Riolu and Scyther.  If you are a Power-Up member, you can cash in 1,000 points to gain access to another five: Axew, Beldum, Darmanitan, Larvitar, and Sneasel!

AWESOME!!

Tell me what you want to see at E3 2012 and win

As I prepare for my next adventure into the wonderful world of E3 my mind races with the prospects of what amazing delights await.  Maybe some more hands on time with the Wii U, or a playable demo of Resident Evil 6, Darksiders II or Borderlands 2.  HALO 4 and Black Ops 2 will also surely be a huge draw.  It'll be exciting to see what will be new for the PSVita and if anything will be shown for the next generation of Xbox and Playstation.  With all the amazing possibilities ahead, I will need some help.  So what would you like to hear about this year?  What upcoming announcements have you in a froth?  Are you more excited about Nintendo, Playstation or Xbox this year?

Place the game or event that you are most excited to hear about this year in the comments below and follow me on Twitter to get live updates and win exclusive E3 treats!

Be sure to include your Twitter handle in the comment and I will randomly chose one winner after the show to be the recipient of an E3 2012 goodie!  Click HERE for official rules and entry methods.

Leaked Pokemon Black and White 2 Animated Trailer

Just leaked is the new fully animated Pokemon Black and White 2 trailer!  Sadly, it only depicts exsisting Pokemon and no new ones other than the Black and White versions of Kyurem.  The trailer does offer up some tantalizing action and some cool plot premises with lots of returning characters and locations, and of course, the insidious Team Plasma.  Get ready to return to Unova with this amazing trailer and see what events will transpire just two years after to conclusion of the last story.

If the covers to these games don't get you worked up, then nothing will!!

Pokemon Black and White Sequels Finally Announced

My Pokefever is now heating up!  Announced today by Junichi Masuda on the Japanese show Pokemon Smash is the latest installment to the long running franchise.  Contrary to the popular thought that a Grey version would be coming as has been the current formula of two titles and a third to wrap them together, this will be a Pokemon first.  A numbered sequel.  Two games entitled Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 are due out for a Japanese release on the DS (not the 3DS?) this June!  No word yet on a stateside release, but one can't help but wonder what changes will come with this title.  Will it take place in the Unova region?  Will it be the same hero?  How will new Pokemon be introduced and will it offer anything new in combat?  Lastly, are those Pokemon pictured evolved states of Reshiram and Zekrom??  Can't wait to find out!  Stay tuned for updates!!

Another Big Day in Gaming Goodness 2/22/12

Some great stuff so far today!!  To have it all in one place, here it is:

First, the "big" Nintendo announcement, which by definition slightly underwhelming but still offered up some tasty nuggets of information.  Here is the breakdown:

They spoke about a new eShop title releasing today about a cowboy armadillo titled Dillon's Rolling Western which promises over 20 hours of gameplay, even for experienced players.

Also featured was Kid Iccarus Uprising.  They spoke about some multiplayer features, Street Pass integration, weapon upgrading and combining, a stand that releases with the game, and a pre-order bonus at select retailers which is quite nice!  Pre-order the game and receive a free download code for the 3D Classics remake of the original Kid Iccarus!

They spoke about the new Mario Tennis Open and some of it's WiFi multiplayer goodness

Last they hinted at the upcoming American release of Last Story, a much anticipated RPG from the pros at Square Enix which will be published by XSeed sometime later this year, and the current release of some blockbuster titles on the 3DS

Sadly, nothing about WiiU or Pokemon was mentioned as this was an entirely 3DS driven announcement.  To watch the video, click on Reggie.  Also click on the titles below for some extra content on the games mentioned.

Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir

**UPDATED**On XBLA, Alan Wake's American Nightmare launches today on the House Party line up for the price of 1200 Microsoft Points. This is a solid play!  You play Alan Wake after the events of the first title.  The game begins with Barry asleep in a motel and the television on to Night Springs.  As the camera zooms in to the TV, you are treated by some nicely done FMV of Wake trying to battle Mr. Scratch, after which you are left to your own devices as a Rod Serling sound-alike tells the tale.  After some exploring and baddies coming after you, you get to the Desert Shore Motel where you meet Emma Stone.  You are tasked with retrieving 21 manuscript pages and to get the story started three items to rewrite reality.  Everything is close by and you get to fight more nasties as you progress.  After retrieving the items, you are ready to go back to the oil rig and re-write the story.  Soon after, the demo ends, leaving me clamoring for more.  Also playable is an arcade mode in which you fight off waves of enemies in different arenas to earn multipliers and the high score on the leader boards.  This mode was quite enjoyable as well as the controls are tight and the enemies like to sneak up behind you.  This is a great sequel to a great game, and definetly loses nothing being an arcade release.  Check it out!! To go to the official page, click on the image.
There are 12 achievements for 200GS in this title.

Also, IGN is hosting a huge, live tournament for Street Fighter X Tekken today!  To watch the live stream, click on the imgae and check out some gaming gold!  You can watch the main feed, a Street Fighter feed and a Tekken feed which runs from 9:00am to 7:30pm Pacific!  Enjoy.

A Poketactical RPG This Way Comes

It's been a while since I've posted, but some of the most exciting Pokemon news have come down the pipe.  As much as I love Pokemon as a JRPG and the hook of catching them all...still trying to catch all the older gen Pokemon on Black & White...Nintendo has released some news in Japan that have me frothing with excitement.  In their first partnership, the Pokemon Company and KOEI jumped the gun from their announcement at Jump Festa and burst into the scene with their mega-team-up announcement: Pokemon+Nobunaga's Ambition.  Strange?  Yes...Exciting?  YES!  As a fan of tactical RPGs and Pokemon, this is a match made in heaven.  

Not a lot of details have been announced for this title, but a teaser trailer has been concocted.  How will Pokemon play a role in traditional Japanese folklore?  Will this be the big step into Pokemon growing up?  Will this even release outside of Japan??  Stay tuned and in the meantime froth over this trailer...

Just in Time for Halloween, A Free Ghost Type Pokemon
