'Pokemon X And Y' Update: Nintendo To Release Unique 'Fancy Pattern' Vivillon To Celebrate 100 Million Trades

Pokemon X and Y has a great, full-fledged online trade network, which has seen dozens of millions of transactions since the titles have been available. To celebrate approaching 100 million trades, Nintendo has announced the upcoming release of a special edition Pokemon.

Vivillon, a butterfly-like Pokemon, comes in different color patterns depending on which region of the real world you live in. As such, players trade with other trainers around the world on the Global Trade Station to acquire all the different types of Vivillon that are out there.

For the 100 million trades milestone, Nintendo will make a unique global "fancy pattern" Vivillon available to every player in the game, pictured above.

Once the 100 millionth Pokemon is traded, a "special distribution event" will take place, and nobody will be restricted from the new Vivillon, regardless of your role in the GTS. The instructions for how to receive your free Vivillon have not yet been explained, but will be posted on Pokemon.com once the goal is reached.

The developers are grateful to the players for the amount of support the titles and the trade network have received.

"The Pokémon Company would like to thank everyone who has participated in reaching this epic milestone by trading Pokémon via the GTS, and are calling on everyone to keep trading so we hit that huge milestone!" the company said in a press release.

That many trades is definitely an indication of the success the GTS has seen, and I'm sure the team is pleased so many players have made use of their efforts. You can pick up your unique Vivillon as soon as 100 million trades are made and the instructions go live.
