Nintendo to give away rare Pokemon

@AnakinSW: Go to the website. There are step by step instructions there.

@SmashBrawlerBoy: The event is in Canada saw it in the flyer. First of all, almost everyone has one of the 2 already. If you have Zoura, Evolve it, then breed it. If you have Zoroark, Breed it and soon you will have half a million. It's not even legendary....

@Camobullo no it isn't, it has the move snarl which is currently unavailable unless you use a hack or breed the Zoroark.

WARNING: Rant about events below. I'm really sick of events. I honestly can't see the point of withholding completed data from a game. They don't even try to sell it, ffs. Why bother making these things exclusive? Some of those events are awesome, but I highly doubt any of them are awesome enough to be so exclusive (maybe Arceus, Mew, Deoxys, but there's no reason they can't be unlockables). Why make Manaphy and Celebi events? And for that matter, why would you turn other items into events? imo, gen 4 was the worst offender. By then, we had event pokemon (of course), event items, event berries, and event poke'tch apps. What is the point of that? Are event berries that game breaking? Are poke'tch apps? What was the point of the Azure Flute? Honestly, I hope that Nintendo stops doing this. The Pokemon franchise is too old to be hiding things for no reason. It encourages hacking, and makes some pokemon appear better than they actually are (e.g. Phione). The worst thing, I think, is being stuck with an event poke that is useless competitively. I can say, from personal experience, that it sucks starting an interest in competitive play, with a Brave mew in your pc. Not really so great if you can only get it once every 5 years or so. /endrant.

@TBoneTony Dude, it's Nintendo. They sat there and blamed the crappy Wii sales on a bad game lineup, then did the same thing with the DS and blamed it on a bad game lineup again. They don't learn their lesson, even though they acknowledge what the problem is. They are going to keep living in the past until they try to fix the problems that are there. My advice to you: just don't support them until they get it together.

I thought they givin' away real pokemon!! :P

pokemon stopped being pokemon after ruby and saphire.

They keep doing this to the Pokemon games.... Why not have some pokemon as download only? Why is it that Nintendo seem to want to live in the past to our expense?

@eliebaz There was a Mew event on Wi-Fi Download 2 years ago I think. I believe there was an Arceus event too last year. Celebi, I don't remember. I have 3 legitimately obtained Mews in total lol, though they're not on Pokemon B&W. Not counting glitched/hacked Mews from older Pokemon games. :P

they already offered these two on a plate earlier this year! Why not just give us Keldeo,Genesect,or Melotta damn! or an event dat leads to an event dat leads to da pkmn (sigh)

what about arceaus and mew? or celebi?

A friend of mine works at the local mall,and before and after work he often visits gamestop,where they have an internet link for the DSi,and he has HEAPS of Pokemon. Almost all of them,it's insane.He gave me Zorua. And I'm pretty sure most people have got him one way or another.

That's highly pointless for us who already have Zoroark.

Nintendo should give out some of the real pokemon they have locked up in their headquarters. Don't lie to us! We know you have them!!

No event for Canada. Again. Anywho I can get Zoroark by transfering 1 of my 3 Shiny Entei, Raikou, Suicune, or Celebi, which were all given away in Canada.

Aaaand Canada gets the shaft. Again.

@Outer_Raven Dont you mean Japan? Theyve had at least ten or so events for Black/White already, whereas the US had maybe one or two. Japan always gets the strange, rare Pokemon events many more times over than the US does.

@ Outer_Raven Europe gets more Pokemon events than the US does. They just get them later.

Make a damn Pokemon RPG for the 3DS, then release all the Zoroark's you want Nintendo.

No fair, why does the USA get all this cool events? No love for Europe... :(

woooohooooo pokemon!! Pikachu I choose you!!!!!

So what exactly is the process for doing something like this? I might be a tad older than the typical gamer and would like to be as inconspicuous as possible with getting this pokemon... :P

Funny things is also that gamespot is actually reporting on these events now.

Won't need these. I already got them using celebi and the legendary dogs.

Once they give away Pokemon I don't think they can be considered 'rare' anymore.

That's good news for those who don't have an Action-Replay like me, I only use it for Pokemon games that I want to get one of those Legendary Pokemon that are not in the game such as Zorua and Zoroark in my Pokemon White. Honestly it is much easier to get an Action-replay and get all the Legendary Pokemon all you want.

well, pretty weak promotion but considering that it's free for owners of the game, so why not? Free stuff always good

Oh look, no news about Canada >_>

Thought Nintendo was going to give the unreleased pokemon from fifth gen when I saw the headline.

Zoroark are like super easy to catch :?

i thought the lasted headline said give away RARE pokemon....not a pokemon that's particularly easy to get *yawn*

So is there any particular reason for this promotion? Feels kinda random. Also, couldn't people just use a cheating device to get this Pokemon? Can the game detect that?

Does this include New Zealand? New Zealand has normally been put with Australia but I hope it applies this time too. I really want that pokemon.

@WiteCastle112 That's for 4th gen games You can keep more in the 5th gen games.

i work at Toys R Us. So i guess that's one of the perks of having to deal with Black Friday.

So there's an 11 wonder card limit....but i thought the max you could get was 3. Whats up with that?

I'd rather Nintendo give away the distribution rights to Xenoblade.

Well, looks like I'll have to find time to get to a Toys R Us during that period.

I wonder what next years Pokemon is gonna look like. 3DS game i'm sure but what els can they do with this series... I'm eagerly curious.

Awesome! Too bad there isn't a Toys R Us where I live :(

GS has never reported any of the pokemon events before...? Besides they already gave away the shiny crown beasts, which also unlock Zoroark, and the celebi that unlocks Zorua. ...they should make all future events wifi only...it's not fair for international players...or will this be made into a wifi event later?

Man, Pokemon is forever. Who would have thought that the little Gameboy release of Red and Blue would blossom into this Billion Dollar Giant?

Sounds cool and the pokemon look tight!

They still do this kind of thing? rofl.

Of course they're not doing it in Canada.

Nice.I'll be getting it if I can. I don't go to toysRus anymore.
