This special Charizard themed 3DS LL is released to celebrate the then upcoming season of the anime. To get it, people needed to sign up to a lottery and, if successful, were able to purchase the special 3DS LL from December 15th. It has also since been given in various promotions around Japan, such as with Pokémon Smash and the Pokémon Best Wishes Season 2 Episode N anime series .
