Before "Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire" officially debuts, The Pokemon Company has revealed a few more distribution events for "Pokemon X and Y." These events are all bound to happen come fall of this year.

The announcement was made over the official Pokemon website, where two main Pokemons are put up for grabs. The first is a Shiny Gengar that is holding a Gengarite Mega Stone. Meant for the "Pokemon X and Y,' this Pokemon can be yours with a special code card from any participating GameStop retail store anywhere between Oct. 13 and 26. Since it has the Gengarite Mega Stone, it can mega evolve into a Mega Gengar during battles.

The second Pokemon obtainable during a GameStop distribution event is the Mythical Pokemon Diancie. This Pokemon can be obtained sometime between Oct. 27 and Nov. 16. What's even better is that once you get this Diancie, you can transfer this to "Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire" once the game launches. And if you finally get the chance to unite the Diancie with a Diancite Mega Stone, you can transform your Diancie and mega evolve it during battles.

Another game coming that's related to the "Pokemon X and Y" is the XY - Phantom Forces trading card game, and it's also coming in the autumn of 2014. The new selection of cards also includes Diancie and brings in more than 100 cards for your deck.

Some of the notable features of the new Pokemon TCG are the Mega Pokemon-EX cards, which features the Mega Gengar-EX and Mega Menectric-EX. There will also be seven new Pokemon-EX cards and four rare Pokemon-EX Ultra cards. Since Diancie will also be in this card deck, it should be noted that this is Diancie's debut in the Pokemon TCG. Finally, there are also seven "Team Flare" trainer cards and two special "Team Flare" hyper gear tool cards. The launch date of the XY - Phantom Forces is Nov. 5.

As far as "Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire" is concerned, preorder bonuses have been revealed for those getting their copy in Japan. According to My Nintendo News, a special Primal Kyogre or Primal Groudon figurine will come with the game. Serebii, the trusted Pokemon source, features a snapshot of these freebies.

Also, the report adds that for ordering both copies of "Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire" will have the special bonus of getting a Hoenn art book courtesy of the Pokemon Centers in Japan.
