Developer Game Freak's popular Nintendo 3DS video game Pokemon X and Y has got brand new online competitions.
The developer announced that the new online competitions will be introduced in June and will be running until Autumn. Though currently only seven such competitions have been announced, the number might increase in future.
It must also be noted that these competitions will have special rules and regulations; so players have to read the regulation page carefully, it warned.

Hoopa Unreleased Event Revealed
It has also been revealed that there was an event that was planned but later cancelled, where players having a Hoopa among the Pokemons would be part of the event. The event would be triggered when Hoopa meets a particular NPC.
It is known that Hoopa uses its rings in the movement of objects and, once it is fully developed, these rings can expand its reach to a larger degree and can move island too, reported Gameranx.
The hideout of Hoopa is one that consists of a large amount of treasure that was taken from various places. The hideout is in midst of an oasis in a desert.
This event might be a reminder for players that though Hoop is a source of power, it can also lead to misfortune, provided the trainer makes it a partner of trust.
