Pokémon Colloseum, Pokémon Pinball, and a Promotion

»Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire E-cards: As you all know, Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire was released today in Japan. But, what you didn’t know was that if you purchase it between today and August 31st at one of the Pokémon Centers in Japan, you can receive three e-cards (the fourth one is just a logo card, it doesn’t do anything). The first card with Latios and Latias allows you to find and capture Latios, Latias, Rayquaza, and Jirachi easier. The second one with Jirachi takes you to where Jirachi is and increases the number of bonuses you get. The last one featuring the Pika’s saves your ball from rolling off the board more often. Of course, you have to have an e-reader to scan the cards into the game.

»Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire English Website: In unrelated Pokémon Pinball Japanese news, the official English Pokémon Games website just today opened up a page on the soon to be released Pokémon Pinball for America. The page includes more screenshots, highlights of the game, a PokéDex, and much more. Click here to visit the main page, enter the site, and then click Pokémon Pinball at the top of the page.
