Actually, it does Derrick. GTS is a direct element of Diamond & Pearl. Furthermore, its a brief contest which allows participants to trade their American Ponytas from DP for a Japanese Psyduck.

pm_41 August 22nd, 2007 5:02 PM

Has anyone obtained one yet (now that the thread is open again)?

FireApe2135 August 22nd, 2007 5:45 PM

I am going to try a tactic to get one of these I will not tell anyone though

Shiraishi August 22nd, 2007 6:00 PM

Whats so great about having a japanese Psyduck..I couldve got a movie darkrai if I friggin knew how to do mystery gift a few weeks ago.

pm_41 August 22nd, 2007 6:25 PM

Events always have added value.

FireApe2135 August 22nd, 2007 7:01 PM

Did they ever say what time they would hand them out??? Or is it random???

Team Rocket Boss Giovanni August 22nd, 2007 10:41 PM

I think they would've atleast set a level because anyone could trade you psyduck this way

Darkblade August 22nd, 2007 10:54 PM

what i don't get is, why only American ponytas, why not Australian or British or something else, aren't we good enough?

Alone, A japanese Psyduck means nothing, But this could be from the CREATORS of Pokemon, If thats not awesome I don't know what it!

No you aren't. It's not those countries time yet to get such an event I guess. I'm sure there will eventually be something for those countries as well.

sudden_hit August 22nd, 2007 11:32 PM

1. That is really shocking how the British cant get it.
2. Why a psyduck? its like the worst untill it evolves into golduck
and 3. why cant he talk english? why did he just memorise that scentence? he is stupid..

shalashaska August 22nd, 2007 11:50 PM

so australia dont get to have the psyducks??? :shocked: well i might start cathing spyducks and trading them for all the ponytas. if Australia and britain dont get to have pne then i dont think anyone should:P

I was thinking the same thing, but this doesn't really matter to me anyway for two reasons. Firstly I'm not getting D/P until my birthday and secondly I don't have broadband. =P

It'd be great to know that something was at least being offered though.

AztecSunshine August 23rd, 2007 5:29 AM

yay it's the first event that can happen in Qatar in here we don't ever ever EVER have events so i have to trade my rare shinies for em :(

ShadowTails August 23rd, 2007 5:49 AM

Why do I have the feeling these are going to be cloned like mad and not be as rare anymore?

People are already hacking the Psyduck and putting them on the GTS leaving people with the impression that they're the actual thing.

Shadow Chaos August 23rd, 2007 9:16 AM

Well, last night I put a Ponyta for offer, and what I got in return today was a Shiny Psyduck... not with any of those IDs though...

ufo August 23rd, 2007 10:20 AM

has anyone here got any of these?

Pocky August 23rd, 2007 11:12 AM

How long is this going on for? I can't get on wifi till I go to my sisters house on sunday!(she's the only one that has windows XP)

ufo August 23rd, 2007 12:18 PM

does anyone know any more info about it like where it was caught or whether its fateful encounter or not?

- Cyndaquil - August 23rd, 2007 2:00 PM

lol that's cool I wish I could get one >_<

Omerta August 23rd, 2007 2:13 PM

I wasted 4 Ponyta on this. I got an american Psyduck, and a Japanese one without the ID I wanted, but it does have pokerus.

ufo August 23rd, 2007 3:14 PM

AnimeDDR110 August 23rd, 2007 3:17 PM

pm_41 August 24th, 2007 8:02 PM

You can't get one until the 26th now.
--------------
Does anyone have the info (Ball Caught, Ribbons, moves, ect.) on the Psyducks?

spam August 25th, 2007 6:15 AM

I still don't understand why Japanese Psyducks are so special. Just because they come from the creators of Pokemon doesn't really mean that they're really that special does it? Unless they had the Pokerus, were shiny, or held something rare, I don't think they're all THAT special.

shining-Celebi August 25th, 2007 7:06 AM

Would people go this crazy over a Psyduck from Serebii Joe?:P

I'll probably try again.I got a Japanese Psyduck, but not with the correct ID.

ufo August 25th, 2007 7:38 AM

mine was pokeball lv 1 hatched in solaceon

I wasn't being serious..sheesh ._.

pm_41 August 25th, 2007 2:54 PM

Having a Pokemon (even if it's fairly common) from the Creators of Pokemon makes the Pokemon very high in value.

I'm still trying to get one. Does anyone have the info of a "legit" one? There have been numerous reports of hacks that look similar to the real Psyducks.

~Mithos~ August 25th, 2007 2:58 PM

well 720 of them are being legitamately released into the GTS, the chances of getting an original one are slim to almost none, except for the fact that 70% of the people that play pokemon don't even know about this.

and by the time people clone the psyducks there'll be way too many, they should put classic ribbons on 'em.

EDIT: on the globe thing it will be green, instead of the normal yellow color (I think)

pm_41 August 25th, 2007 3:43 PM

I meant like the Ball, location met, moveset, level, and Ribbons of the Psyducks.

And yes, they should find a way to distribute those with Classic Ribbons on GTS so that only the OT can Deposit it.

spike6958 August 25th, 2007 5:10 PM

WOOT Oh yeh i got one today woo yeh! :)
