    Definitely leaning more towards Electabuzz - Magmar just looks silly with his nutsack of a head.

    • Sage on 05/04/2014 - 15:22

      you can evolve both though.

    • rith on 06/04/2014 - 00:41

      You can't choose, unless you have both games. But you can easily obtain the other one from GTS or Poke Transfer.

    As in the second stage evo's? seeing as they don't have mega's :P

    • MasterNoob on 05/04/2014 - 15:23

      lol You're right! fixed.

    Man, I remember when there was some Pokemon tour thing going around Australia many years ago and if you brought along your cartridge + had one space free in your party, you were able to acquire Mew.

    Good times, good times.

    • fruit on 05/04/2014 - 16:32

      Yes! Wow I was so young back then. I haven't played Pokémon is years.

      I got Mew (Pokémon Red) from a tour and then Celebi (Pokémon Gold) from a tour, also competed in the Pokémon Trading Card league and collected a few of the badges and promo cards from it. My opponent and me would just sit down and mess around for a few min and then tell the judges we had a draw and we both got pts lol.

      I still have that mew in my red cartridge. I caught/traded all 151 pokemons, and trained them all to lvl100. Took forever. Mew was last of them, and on the day after I got my mew to 100, I learnt about the Cinnebar island glitch…. FML

    • juzz0 on 08/04/2014 - 01:28

      Yep, there was one held at Warringah Mall in 2000 (or was it 1999? Anyway, prior to the release of Pokemon Yellow) so around 15 years ago. I double dipped on both cartridges (I had red and blue)
      So much cred was associated with Mew back then. In contrast to this: I thought Magma and Electrobuzz were/are pretty stock standard (able to be obtained in friend safari)so I don't really get the hype around this… Unless one of them is your 'spirit' (favourite) pokemon. Mine is Zapdos (probably the weakest of the original bird legendaries but the most badass)

      Also is there anything good about Cherish Balls other than the fact they look unique and are rare?

      • iChopstick on 09/04/2014 - 11:42

        yep, got mine from WM as well. Remember playing trading card game at the stand with couple mates after we got the new. Good times.

    We just walk in, and tell them to hand over the Pokeballs? Might get Electrabuzz, with electricity prices rising and all.

    Just realised, the Pokemon you get, relies on the version of Polemon you have.

  • [Deactivated] on 05/04/2014 - 16:23

    That's it? A normal Magmar and Electabuzz? Just get one off the GTS and save your fuel going to the shops.

    • heyeveryone on 05/04/2014 - 17:06

      It's an event pokemon. So it comes in the super cool Cherish Ball :D

    Sorry to burst bubbles but according to the link the pokemon is game dependant.

    "Pokémon X owners will receive the Fire-type Pokémon Magmar, whilst Pokemon Y players will receive the Electric-type Pokémon Electabuzz."

      T.T why does y always get the better looking pokemon… First yvetles, now electabuzz… Whilst we of Pokemon x get the butthead pokemon

      • Natinator on 05/04/2014 - 23:27

        Magmar is pretty cool IMO, I remember watching the episode where the Gym Leader had a Magmar, and he was trouncing Charizard I think… Though I must say, googling the evolution now, looks stupid as hell

  • happychild100 on 05/04/2014 - 17:49

    I'm pretty sure both come with the item which makes them evolved too, though you can buy them with BP anyway.

    i remember watching the first Pokemon movie many years ago when it first came out on the big screen and received Ancient Mew. good memories!

    • Forfiet on 05/04/2014 - 19:12

      I Still have that card……

  • lj87 on 05/04/2014 - 19:07

    I paid 40 bucks for that complete joke of a game Pokemon Channel on Gamecube, just to get Jirachi - and he was a heap of crap….

    • Astro551 on 05/04/2014 - 19:08

      I bought it for jirachi as well, funnily enough I thought it was kinda fun (or maybe I was just trying to justify the purchase)

  • King Steuart on 05/04/2014 - 21:42

    Thanks OP

  • rith on 06/04/2014 - 00:39

    I wouldn't call this a bargain, technically (though it does save a lot of effort getting them otherwise!). Distributions for Pokemon happen quite frequently.
    There isn't anything particularly special about these two either, other than the Cherish Ball they're received in and having their hidden abilities.

    Still good for people to know about though :)

    • Jesmond on 06/04/2014 - 09:15

      Good for people to know about = worthy of being posted

      • AnophthalmiaCervidae on 06/04/2014 - 09:44

        Worthy of being posted, most definitely yes.

        Technically a bargain, maybe. You are getting something for free.
        But then that is the normal price for distribution pokemons, and no one is selling these for a higher price (yet).
        Maybe Broden will be selling them on eBay.

        I would have thought it potentially a forum post, but then I might not have seen it at all.

        53+ people think it is a bargain.

    I tried going into eb games to collect a code but was told only major stores in Sydney & one in Newcastle are offering the event. Is it possible for anyone or a rep to pm a pokemon y code? I can't justify spending a tank of gas to go into the city.

    • King Steuart on 10/04/2014 - 16:36

      Same for me, 1 y 1 x please

    • reactor on 12/04/2014 - 18:22

      I don't suppose you know where in Newcastle??

  • B_S_D on 11/04/2014 - 14:46

    Went to JB at the Strand Arcade and was told you only get it if you buy the game :/

  • Duggo3729 on 12/04/2014 - 09:48

    Can anyone PM me a Pokemon X Magmar code? Home sick :( Would be greatly appreciated <3

  • kojihama on 12/04/2014 - 15:43

    I went to my local JB, which is a fairly small one, and they had heaps. I only asked for one but I don't think there was any major restrictions; within reason I guess. They probably had a stack of 100???

  • reactor on 15/04/2014 - 17:49

    JB Hi Fi and EB Games at Charlestown [Newcastle] have codes.
    So far no Target has any idea what it's all about.

    EB Games were nice enough to give me a bonus code so I'm happy to give it away to first person to reply :)

    • King Steuart on 15/04/2014 - 18:09

      I'll take it :)

  • [Deactivated] on 20/04/2014 - 17:12

    My local EB just had the codes sitting out to grab as many as you wanted. Only one works per game though so it's pointless grabbing a few.

  • brendanAUS on 26/04/2014 - 20:39

    If anyone can source one of these from their local eb could I pleassse have the code. The closest stores doing the promo are inner newcastle & sydney. I asked the store if they could just ring and write down the code but was turned down :(
