With Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire well on their way, X and Y still has some life in them as a Battle of Legends Online Competition was announced.

According to IBTimes, this tournament will let gamers assemble their "dream team" of characters. Every character within the games is usable with no restrictions except Diancie, which is not usual for online battles.

The rules say every Pokemon will be set to level 50 and every battle box can contain a maximum of two legendary or two mythical Pokemon combined. Registration will begin on July 17 through July 24. Gamers must have a Pokemon Trainer Club account. The actual competition takes place from July 25 through the 27 with rankings being announced on August 1.

All participants in the tournament will receive 1,000 Poke Miles, and there will be a Junior and Masters Division. For more rules and info see here.

In other news, reports indicate the next game pushing forward the franchise could be Pokemon Z or a Pokemon Delta Emerald remake.

According to IDigitlalTimes, Pokemon averages just about one game a year. Last year it was X and Y, and this year Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are expected with the latter being remakes. This leaves next year for a new game. The report suggests the long rumored Pokemon Z featuring Zygarde as its cover character could be next down the line, or a remake of 2005's Emerald, Delta Emerald. The name was also recently trademarked by Nintendo.

If the version of the game is Z, IDigitalTimes suggested instead of a generation one starter alternate such as Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur with Mega Stones, the game would offer a generation two starter, which would give gamers a Mega version of Typhlosion, Meganium and Feraligatr.

Another point the report makes is that generation one and three starters have been given the Mega Evolution form, so only two has been left out for now.

Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are expected in October.
