Pokémon X and Pokémon Y

The official site has updated and given details on how to receive event Pokémon. This process runs similar to previous games with you selecting Mystery Gift and then selecting the appropriate option. However, the details have provided a new method of obtaining event Pokémon. In addition to Local Wireless, Nintendo Network Download and InfraRed, the game also lists a new method of downloading: Serial Codes. Presumably this will run akin to the Serial Codes on the Global Link within Generation V. You can also have up to 24 Wonder Cards before having to make room for a new event.

That's interesting, though I bet it would just be for promotional things like getting a free rare pokemon code when you buy some merchandise or something.

Here's hoping everyone can use the codes, like the ones on the global link.
