Pokemon Go Should Make Legendary Raids More Unique

However, the encounters themselves also differ greatly from the core Pokemon franchise. While many Legendary Pokemon appear in special areas and have unique movesets, in Pokemon GO, Legendary Pokemon are powerful but otherwise differ little from normal Pokemon raids.

Pokemon Gold And Silver 3Ds Getting Physical Release With A Catch

As seen in the tweet below from Nintendo of Europe, while Pokemon Gold and Silver will technically be sold as physical units for 3DS, all that the box will contain is a download code for either of the titles, and not an actual game card.
