Pokemon X and Y players will have something to look forward to as the game's developer announced that a special character will be unlocked upon reaching a milestone.
In a statement released on the official Pokemon website, the developer announced that gamers will have the opportunity to unlock a special Pokemon named Vivillon after 100 million trades via the Global Trade System have been completed.
According to reports, 90 millions trades have been made so far, and the number is expected to shoot up rapidly due to this latest development.
"Now, an additional pattern of Vivillon has been discovered that breaks with tradition. To celebrate the 100 million Pokémon traded via the GTS, the Fancy Pattern Vivillon will soon be available! Currently, about 90 million Pokémon have been traded worldwide. Once we reach 100 million, you'll be able to receive Fancy Pattern Vivillon via a special distribution event," the developer said in a statement.
Seen above is the Fancy Pattern Vivillon, but the Pokemon Company announced that the bug-type monster's wing will vary based on the player's region.
"The patterns and colors on Vivillon's wings typically vary based on the region in which a player lives. Because of this characteristic, players around the world have been exchanging Vivillon via the GTS to collect all of the regional patterns," the developer added.
Once the 100-million target is reached, the company said that they will conduct a special distribution event, which will enable gamers to receive the special Vivillon Pokemon worldwide. The details on how to capture Vivillon will be announced on the game's official website, the company stated.
"When this enormous milestone is reached, a special distribution event will take place, enabling all players of Pokemon X or Pokemon Y to receive the Fancy Pattern Vivillon wherever they are in the world," the developer wrote.
Aside from this new character, Pokemon X and Y players are also expected to enjoy features such as Mega Evolutions, Super Training, and Trainer customization.
Mega Evolution allows increased-stat appearances along with altered skills, while Super Training is a feature that enables player to ease up their Pokemon's EV training. The Trainer Customization, on the other hand, allows players to choose their preferred skin tone and hair color along with outfits and accessories.
