This wonder key that appears in a Pokemon Rumble Game must be used to progress through the game. However, this key also winds Pokemon up the slowest, making it a detriment to the player. (Include "key" in your answer.| Bent Key| This PokeStar Studios movie is the only one the player does not need to complete in order to get a Black or White trainer card.| Brycen-Man Strikes Back Harder| There is a base payout for blacking out in the Pokemon series depending on how many badges you have in your possession.
