New Pokemon Rewards Now Available From My Nintendo

Nintendo has added a couple of new rewards to the My Nintendo rewards catalog. To commemorate the upcoming 3DS release of Pokemon Crystal, the company is offering My Nintendo members discounts on a handful of Pokemon games for Wii U and 3DS.

A pair of Pokemon games are discounted for each of the two platforms. On 3DS, My Nintendo members can get 30% off of the Game Boy classic Pokemon TCG (20 Gold points), as well as Pokemon Art Academy (450 Platinum points). Wii U owners, meanwhile, can save 30% on Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team (140 Platinum points) and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team (20 Gold points).

Each of these discounts is available until March 16, 2018, so you have plenty of time to redeem your points for any you may be interested in. You can also still find discounts on some great Mario games for Wii U and 3DS right now. Super Mario Maker is 40% off (180 Gold points), Super Mario RPG is 50% off (310 Platinum points), and Mario Kart 7 is 40% off (930 Platinum points). Those discounts are available until March 3. You can find all of the current My Nintendo rewards here.

Pokemon Crystal launches on the 3DS Eshop on January 26. It's an enhanced version of Pokemon Gold/Silver, which were re-released on 3DS this past September. Along with introducing a new subplot centered around Suicune, Crystal was the first Pokemon game to allow players to choose a female character and feature Pokemon animations during battle. As with the 3DS versions of Gold/Silver, it's compatible with Pokemon Bank, so any Pokemon you catch can be transferred to the new Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon versions.
