The upcoming “Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon” has a few details out before its launch in September. Its official page via the Nintendo website showcases some updates, including some preparatory information for fans who want to play the game.

Trusted Pokemon source Serebii reported that “Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon” will require 1.8GB of space in the SD for the Nintendo 3DS to download the game via the Nintendo eShop. Some of the features that will be available in the game have also been revealed. The StreetPass will enable plyers to pass to fellow players some helper Pokemon. The local wireless function, on the other hand, will let a player rescue another player.

“Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon” will be another addition to the many games for the “Pokemon” franchise. It’s set to launch in September in Japan and the end of 2015 in North America. Australia and Europe are also targeted for an early launch next year.

Those who want to participate in the latest Pikachu Cup Online Competition will need to sign up fast, as it is already the last day for registration. The competition will last the entire weekend starting from Aug. 21, according to the official Pokemon website.

To play in the Pikachu Cup Online, players need to ensure that they have a good team of all Electric-type Pokemon that are already Level 50. The competition will feature Double Battle matches. There are a few restricted Pokemon from the competition, including Raikou, Thundurus, Zekrom, Zapdos and Arceus.

There are only a limited number of participants allowed into the Pikachu Cup Online Competition. Those who do get in would need to have a Poemon Trainer Club account as well as a copy of any of the “Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire” games.

There are also a couple of special prizes that are up for grabs in the event that certain conditions will be met during the competition. If Pikachu becomes one of the top three most-used Pokemon in the event, qualified participants will get a special Pikachu. Placing fourth to 12th will give players the Light Ball, but placing anywhere below will still yield 1,000 Poke Miles.
