Ok, well I'm gonna go next weekend.
One question, It says you need to have obtained the Pokedex.
Does that mean you need to complete the Sinnoh Pokedex or just obtain it at the beginning of the game?

You just have to obtain the Pokedex from Prof. Rowan at the beginning of the game. You couldn't have completed the pokedex unless you used an ARDS anyway.

Mystery Gift is activated automatically when the DS receives the Mystery Gift signal; you only need to turn it on manually if you're trying to get a Wi-Fi gift.

BlueShuckle November 7th, 2009 6:24 AM

Is it at Gamestop too?
I also heard it was at Toys R Us...

BlueShuckle November 7th, 2009 6:25 AM

I'm going to get him.
Also, you don't need to beat the game, just unlock the Mystery Gift.

Darkrailuver November 7th, 2009 6:43 AM

Well when you go to get him a dude usually tells you what to do...:)
You can still get him if you havent beaten the game, dont worry!
Im getting him too! :D

GlitchCity November 7th, 2009 8:10 AM

Destinyfate November 7th, 2009 11:06 AM

rockman0 November 7th, 2009 11:44 AM

I want to get it today, but i don't have a ride. I'm psyched but I possibly have no way of getting there.

Blaziquaza November 7th, 2009 11:46 AM

I won't be able to get the Australian one.The closest i am to a participating one is Adelaide.>_<But,hopefully they'll release the Azure Flute at Target sometime.

Yamikarasu November 7th, 2009 11:50 AM

I just got it this morning. It isn't EV trained at all, and it is already level 100, which is a disappointment.

Oh, and don't worry if you can't get it today. There's still another week that the event is going on, iirc.

Linus November 7th, 2009 12:14 PM

just got back. Wont be able to use him for a while but its a nice addition to my future team.

TheAppleFreak November 7th, 2009 12:16 PM

Currently, it's available at EB Games in Australia, and Toys R Us in America. To get it, you will need to have activated Mystery Gift (which you can only do if you've beaten Roark, since a clown will be blocking the way to the Jubilife Department Store beforehand).

That'd be a game breaker, though...
*Player beats Roark with hard-trained Pokémons...*
Ooh! Look! A Lv 100 Arceus! I'll get it!
*proceeds to beat the game using only Arceus, leaving everything else underleveled*
*notices his old party*
Who are you again?

Of course xD

One more thing - I have Diamond and Platinum, can I take both with one DS and still receive Arceus on both game cards?

Alternative November 7th, 2009 2:17 PM

I've seen the event in Magazines, but they say the event's in K-Mart, not EB Games.
I might go get it on Tuesday or something.

I went to the EB Games website and it says that you can get Arceus there.

Arceus holds powers unlike anything seen before!


gerronix12 November 7th, 2009 3:07 PM

*WishMaker* November 7th, 2009 3:15 PM

Yes, so you can basically get two, one on each game, unless somone that works there wont let you that jerk D:<

lol, did that happen to you or something? I'd just go back later if that happened; it's not like they would remember you.

I'm about to get my 3 Arceus'seseses in just a few minutes, but I might not have time to sit down and soft reset for good ones. I probably won't get a chance to do that until next weekend.

I heard you can't EV train them, though, since they're at LV 100. :/ Has anyone actually tried?

EDIT: Just got back from TRU. It was a madhouse in there! o_O No older kids, unfortunately. :\ However, I was quite amused at the lack of knowledge between the younger kids and the employees. It's understandable that the young kids don't know how it works, but the employees should, at the very least, walk them through the steps that ARE ON THE BIG SIGN for crying out loud.

Young kid: How do I get teh Arceus thingy?
Employee: Uh.....just start your game and....uh....hit "download".
Me: *snicker*

I probably should've helped, but I was trying to keep on the down-low, and besides, it was too funny!

From who or what??


Sorry i'm nosy......



Well I went the first day and got one for my Platinum and Diamond, and surprisingly I was the only one there for that at the time. I expected it to be packed with kids but there was nobody there for the event. Maybe they just didn't know about it yet or something.....



The Arceus are kind of useless since you can't EV train them, i'm most likely gonna trade one when I get my Wi-Fi working again.


And since I got this Arceus, does that mean I won't be able to get the Azure flute when the real Wi-Fi event comes out?
