New year-long event: birthday Togekiss

Wed, 28 Sep 2011 20:37:14 BST

A new Pokemon event started this week to receive a special Togekiss. This Togekiss has the hidden ability Super Luck, which boosts its critical-hit rate. It will know the moves Extremespeed, Aura Sphere, Air Slash and Present.

This is a unique type of event in that you can only receive the Togekiss during the month of your birthday! First you need a Pokemon Trainer's Club account on Pokemon.com (click here to signup if you don't already have an account). Then simply log in and go to your message inbox on the month of your birthday to see instructions on how to obtain the Pokemon via Global Link.

New updates to Pokebase including Rate My Team section

Sun, 25 Sep 2011 13:26:37 BST

We've made some changes to Pokebase, our Q&A section. There is a new sub-forum called Battle Subway which is especially for Rate My Team questions. They were starting to clog up Pokebase and get in the way of other questions. (Note, older team questions will be moved to the new section soon!)

There are now more sorting options for questions such as by "most votes" or "most views". This is a good way to browse the site to find great questions and learn more about Pokemon! There is also a "flag" button next to posts. Please use this to report rule-breaking questions, spam/offensive posts or anything else that needs moderator attention.

Top members now have more privileges automatically. Users with over 10,000 points are able to edit questions and answers to help improve them. Users with less than 80 points are no longer able to vote, this is to prevent bad downvoting. (Later this will be changed so you can still upvote good posts.) Members can see a complete history of their questions and answers. This can be quite useful if you want to go back and select best answers for the questions you asked previously.

That's most of the changes! There will be more updates coming soon so stay tuned. I'd also like to take this moment to thank all our members for making Pokebase as great as it is!

It is an action game as opposed to the RPG format of regular games, and is a 3DS exclusive. You control toy Pokemon and must fight other Pokemon and add to your collection. There are several extra battle modes and connectivity features.

Pokemon Rumble Blast is released in Japan on August 11th and in America on October 24th. No word yet on a European release date but it is likely to be close to the American release.
