Crustle x2 and Lucario, Too (Axew's Anime!)

Two new events are taking place on the Global Link:

For those in Japan or with Japanese versions of the game, a new Crustle-themed C-Gear skin will be available from now until February 29th, 2012. No password is needed to obtain the skin, so just login to your GL account and take a gander at the promotion section.

And for those in North America, a Lucario at Level 10 with the Hidden Ability Justified and the otherwise unobtainable move Bullet Punch will be distributed. The caveat of the event is as follows, however: only those who purchase a copy of Pokemon Black or White from the retailer Target between January 15th until April 30th will be able to gain ownership of a Lucario. With the sales of these games, a single-use serial code will be given away to unlock the Pokemon under the promotion section of the Global Link.

In Axew's Anime this week, the upcoming Japanese Pokémon: Best Wishes episode is entitled "Joltik, Galvantula! Chargestone Cave!!" It airs on January 12th, and in the episode, the gang enters Chargestone cave with Bianca and run into a spot of trouble after encountering some of the cave's electric residents. As for the United States, Pokémon: Black and White is on an indefinite hiatus that will eventually end with the long-awaited appearance of the Electric-type Gym Leader, Elesa.
