I haven't... Heard good things. Is it called Pokemon Adventures? I can only find children books on Amazon under that title..
If you’re lucky enough to both reside in the United States of America and own one of Nintendo’s fantastic handhelds, either a 3DS XL or a 2DS, then you’re in for a real treat.
Satoru Iwata must be going soft on you lot, as Nintendo are putting both Pokémon X and Pokémon Y up for download on their eStore for free.
The only catch, if you can call it that, is that you must register a both your handheld console as well as one of six games: Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Yoshi’s New Island, LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins, Super Mario 3D Land, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, and Mario Kart 7. The registration costs nothing, but is presumably in place to provide proof of ownership (and lets be honest, if you have a 3DS or 2DS and don’t own any of those six titles then you have bigger problems to worry about).
Upon registration you’re sent a download code and away you go! As the offer has not officially been released by Nintendo yet, you’ll have to wait until March before searching for it on the store. Sorry if we got your hopes up a little prematurely.
What makes this particular offer really stand out is because of the nature of the games. Not only is the Pokémon franchise absolutely huge and a real system-seller for Nintendo, but X and Y are the first Pokémon titles to be released on the 3DS and 2DS. What’s more, they were only released six months ago!
If you haven’t seen your way to checking out either of the landmark titles yet then you should be licking your lips in anticipation. If you already purchased it at full retail price six months ago…well…hopefully you’ve enjoyed the game?
I'm already up to Vol. 4, I'm zooming through it, which is definitely a good thing. Are they up to X/Y yet, would you know?
That awesome moment when Blue's Charmeleon swiped the head off that Arbok
Not sure if they're up that far, though. I stopped reading because it was too dark for me

I notice that my Emerald and Sapphire's battery has dried out. So clock events won't work anymore, but I can still save.

Good news if you're eligible. Sucks if you're outside of the US or have a regular 3DS.
Really? I *just* got a 2DS and Pokémon Y..
So I'm assuming if I already have a 3DS XL and any of those games I can't register?
It's actually really easy to replace the batteries on them, I did for Sapphire, Ruby, Gold & Silver. Red/Blue/Yellow battery still work perfectly for me.
It's weird, I've read on Bulbapedia that X (Calem / Male character in X) has made an appearance in the series, but it lists no issue, nor can I find any information about the X/Y Adventures at all. :/
Wouldn't it make more sense if the male character was Y?
