Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire were, unsurprisingly, major hits for the 3DS in the Holiday season of late 2014, and as per tradition for the series there are consistent updates and extras to keep us playing. The Pokémon Company is now rolling out a code distribution in the West - that's already been completed in Japan - that'll bring three new 'Mon into your collections.
Serperior is first up and available now - you just input POKEMON497 in the game to pick it up; Emboar's code will be released on 29th January, with Samurott to follow on 5th February. These codes will be eligible until 30th November, with Emboar posted on the official Pokémon website and Samurott sent out to Pokémon Trainer Club Newsletter subscribers; they'll be all over the internet anyway, of course. Apparently the Serperior code is the same as it was in Japan, so the others may also follow that pattern.
So there you have it, free Pokémon; that's never a bad thing.

Hey Hidden Abilities are always fun I guess, maybe I can use a couple of these on my NU teams.
Grr. Have to trade for these. Was not in the mood to buy a remake.
Nice! I'll get them!
Awesome am about to download it, but I assume that since it follows the same code from Japan that this is Contrary Serperior, correct?
Nice, looks like I don't need to go on the GTS to get them now.
@Chubblings Yep, all of them will have their hidden abilities.
I wish they announced this before I spend a lot of time finding their hidden ability offspring on the GTS
Oh well, I'm glad that they're releasing this event outside Japan.
This is the one you can download multiple times right?
Reckless emboar may have potential. Priority sucker punch plus head smash, wild charge and flare blitz? Sounds good to me.
Gee, I can only guess what the following download codes might be.
Shot in the dark, are they POKEMON500 and POKEMON503?
I think it's stupid that Nintendo is giving even more free Pokemon. Remember when you actually had to catch them? Geez.
@ningeek185
Oh yes because you can simply catch a wild serperior
@JasonAnArgoNOT64 Specially a HA wild Serperior...
@RupeeClock I noticed this as well... if nothing else it makes me want to try using the dex number of new or hard to get Mons just to see if they'd work.
OK, cool. I hope GF continues giving these things this way, not just exclusively by those events on stores.
@Squid
I don't think it works that way. The code is available to everyone once, therefore it's used multiple times... Terribly worded I know.
@Fandabidozi No, that's not what I meant. (I wasn't very specific!)
I think when NL made the first article about this code when it was announced for Japan, they said the code could be used multiple times for one person, giving you unlimited Serperiors. I'm wondering if that's still possible or not.
I made sure to get one with a superior potential.
I can't wait for the Reckless Emboar! I will try to breed a shiny one with that ability.
Free Pokémon is always good and Serperior happens to be one of my fave starters. Also, this is the kind of code distribution I can approve of. Keep 'em comin!
I can confirm that you can only receive this gift once.
Wow, just put in a code? Don't have to drive to Gamestop or a McDonalds to get to a Nintendo Zone hot spot?
@Interneto
Specifically one with higher level attacks like leaf storm
I'm just glad that they're available until Nov. 30, as it's going to be a while until I'm ready to get one of the games.
I got one
@JasonAnArgoNOT64 Hey but "it's stupid", Nintendo. Don't ever do that again!
The code for Samurott is still not working and it is the 5th of February
February
