Catch Latios And Latias Courtesy Of The Eon Ticket In ‘Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Saphhire’

A younger me would have died for the opportunity to catch both Eon Pokemon in the original Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire. At the time, the legendary Pokemon, Latios and Latias, were not only a pain to catch, but were each locked to a specific version of the game. So my Latias was awfully lonely without her better half at her side. There WAS a way to catch the opposite one, but only if you owned an e-Reader and a rare Eon Ticket card. I was enough of a dork to own the former, but never the latter.

Thankfully, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company are making it much easier this time around. Eon tickets will be given out as a wireless distribution event located at each of the official Pokemon meet up groups across the country. Can’t make it? Well, hope is not lost, because from there, anyone with the ticket can pass it on through Streetpass. As if you didn’t need more reason to carry your 3DS everywhere!

With all of the hype surrounding the expanded role of the two psychic bird/plane things, (including their Mega Evolutions and the ability to fly through a 3D Hoenn in search of rare monsters), knowing that we’ll have easier access to both is welcomed news. No e-Reader retired!
