Is the code redeemable only for Japanese players or can anyone put it in? I'd like to get one without having to wait for mass bred ones to flood the trade stations.

Please let it be usable for everyone. (slim chance, but still hopeful)

Hopefully, The Pokémon Company International release NTSC and PAL codes as a New Years gift or something =3.

I'm betting that since the code for Serperior is POKEMON497, the codes for Emboar and Samurott will be POKEMON500 and POKEMON503, respectively. Why do I think that, you ask? Simple. Serperior's National Pokedex number is 497, Emboar's is 500, and Samurott's is 503.

Only if you have a Japanese version of either game, as far as I know.

It hasn't been officially stated yet, but going by past serial code distributions, probably only Japanese games. On the other hand, they usually specify that it only works on Japanese games, so maybe not.

I'm hoping that whoever handles these distributions in Japan is gonna be like, "Hey, this is for Japanese games, but we forgot to prgram it were it would only work for them WINK."

Usually you can tell from the codes, but because this is essentially a passcode rather than a serial code, the rules don't apply.

I guess we'll just have to see then. Not that exciting of a distribution anyways, I have all three of the Unova starters at my disposal, but that wouldn't stop me from getting them.

The only reason you'd want them is for their Hidden Abilities, which these distributions will have. I mean, I'm pretty sure Contrary Superior is impossible to get, unless you hack.

I think you're right. I also noticed that they also know the move Hold Back, which they seem to put on a lot of the distribution Poke's since Gen VI began.

Now that the Contrary Serperior code is suppose to be redeemable, I decided to give it a try with my North American game. After it verified the code, it said "The gift was not there..." So it seems to work for only the Japanese versions unless someone with the European version tries it as well.

Re: Hidden Ability Serperior's download code announced on Get☆TV: Download code is PO

Right now the only chance we have to get it is if they breed them then send them out on gts and wonder trade. Only problem with that though is only female serperior can breed the hidden ability into the egg, and serperior is male about 88% of the time and female about 12%. Then on serebii they list it as only being distributed as male, I don't know how accurate that is though. If they do only distribute males then no breeding the ability and there will be a very limited number of them out there.

Incorrect there WILL BE a ton of them available because males can pass down hidden abilities when bred with Ditto.

Confirmed as of 1/10/15 code does not work in NTSC-coded games. Nintendo showing preferential marketing once again.

UK game, I just got it after seeing a post on Reddit. They don't know who the code is supposed to be for either.

Female, level 50, Cherish Ball and has Hold Back. I'll start using her once my Absol gets to lvl100 :D
