The Band of Thieves and 1000 Pokémon

The Band of Thieves and 1000 Pokémon is an upcoming downloadable Nintendo 3DS game developed by Marvelous. The game is available free for a limited in promotion of the 17th Pokémon movie, Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction. The game is a lot like Warrior's Way.

Gameplay
The core aspect of the game is building your army. Your army is built up of Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie and you can collect up to 1,000 of each at one time. To build them up, you need to StreetPass with other players of the game. Alternatively, players can use Play Coins to add Pokémon to their army.

The other aspect of the game is the battles. You start battling once you enter the stage. It is determined by two factors. First is numbers. If you have a sufficiently large army, then you'll be able to get through the stages and defeat the Pokémon. The second factor is type. Like all Pokémon games, type is a significant factor, so if you send waves of Chespin against a Pokémon like Delphox, you'll require more Chespin to get through. Alternatively, if you use Froakie, it'll take far less. You select which Pokemon by using the touch scree or the A, Y, and X buttons.

You can see your progress on the bottom of the top screen. Your progress is the orange part that comes from the left and the opponent is the red that comes from the right. When either color fills the entire bar, the battle is complete. Once its complete, it tells you what and how many Pokemon you lost.

Promotion
The game is based around the characters in Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction, mainly the characters Marilyn and Riot. As you progress through the game, players will get tidbits of information about the movie (which can also be streetpassed). Also for completing the game, you get a special Pikachu for Pokémon X and Y
