I agree, even without a event I bet at least 60% of the people who go into a gaming store daily don't buy nothing.

Go in, and read the poster on what to do.

And really, the whole promotion costs next to nothing, since the only thing required is a poster or 2. The pay-off for them is getting you in the store to see that you can pre-order HG/SS.

KinaWolf24 February 3rd, 2010 11:11 AM

Could you post a link to it? I'm new to this forum (obviously), so I'm not sure where it's at.

EDIT: Ok, now that was a stupid question. Sorry about that. For a second, I thought that you were talking about a thread. I was in school during one of the classes that I have access to a computer with internet and class was almost out, so I was in a hurry and didn't think about that.

Hmmmm, difficult question regarding events
 
The shiny pichu event is running, but I may not be able to get to a gamestop, if I download a rom with the event activated and send it to my legit platinum copy, would this be considered a hack pokémon sense the event IS running and all.

Just sort of a blurry area, and I only want legit pokés

EDIT:Yay got the pichu earlier today (:

Gamestop Jirachi Problems
 
My buddy at Gamestop which is a manager and his store is top in the region told me that Nintendo is throwing a mighty fit because some of there stores has released the Jirachi ahead of time. They are threatening gamestop that they won't do anymore events with them after Jirachi if it keeps being released and spread around the interwebz.

I'm asking as a fellow gamer please don't trade/clone it until the event is happening. From what i understand Gamestop has fired people already for this

You can believe me or not but if it keeps up Gamestop wont be holding any Nintendo events after this meaning no more Pokemon/DS tournaments.

I heard that there is an Jirachi event going up from February 27 to March 13th.
This Jirachi already knows Draco Meteor..

Which was the last non wi-fi event in the uk and are there any upcoming ones? Thanks.

KinaWolf24 February 15th, 2010 7:04 AM

Got meh Pichu about two weeks ago :D It's in my PC atm, just chilling. I don't want to mess with it yet. I'm tempted to breed it to get Volt Tackle on some of my other pokes.

pokejungle February 15th, 2010 5:42 PM

I got it yesterday <3

Volt tackle has recoil damage ;x IMO it's worthless

KinaWolf24 February 16th, 2010 7:23 AM

I don't know what to do with it >.> I'm afraid to train it in case I need to trade it later.

Same thing with some legendaries and shinys I've got.

I'm re-doing FireRed so I can get all of the starters and the legendary dogs. :D I got to the Victory Road and called it a day.

SIN1488 February 16th, 2010 11:04 PM

Got myself a couple of Pichu's a few days ago, I'm not really impressed with them though. XD


They are my first legit shinies though, but too bad I didn't really catch them myself. I am looking forward to the Jirachi event though.

I believe the last was the Regigigas event last summer. I'm pretty sure we'll be getting an Arceus event some time soon (maybe over the Easter holidays), but there's nothing confirmed.

Volt Tackle also has 120 base power and 100 accuracy, as well as a chance to paralyze. It's easily the best physical Electric move in the game (aren't Pikachu and Raichu's Attack stats generally higher than their Sp. Atk?).

When's the next US event, do you know? What about the Jarachi event? I haven't heard anything confirmed on it (I haven't go to check yet, because the school's server blocks it.) I'm hoping it's a Gamestop event, so I can get it.

Alternative February 17th, 2010 5:35 PM

I know this doesn't have anything to do with the Gamestop Pichu, or the Draco Meteor Jirachi, but wouldn't it be cool to have Anime events?

I mean Pokemon that appear in the Anime but make a wi-fi event for that pokemon.

After watching DP142, "Where no Togepi had gone before", I was thinking that it would be cool to have a Pokemon event based after the Togepi, like this.

I think that'd be nifty.

Why can't these be released over WiFi?

Yeah, there's a Jirachi event at Gamestop happening soon. The exact details of dates etc aren't known yet. See the official Pokémon website.

Nintendo wants you to go into Gamestop and buy their games :P

EDIT: Supposedly, the dates are 27th February until 13th March.

exactly. my gamestop doesnt do any of the events. if they make it that you have to go somewhere they should at least make it that they all do the events not just a select few.

DarkAlucard February 18th, 2010 5:08 PM

Well, i'm from Mexico so, no events at all XD, i wish some day we can have these events here.

Zelda February 18th, 2010 5:26 PM

Yeah, a lot of places don't held the events. However, at least there is Wi-Fi where you can trade for the events? ;o
Then again chances are, you'd have to have some good pokémon to trade in a fair matter.

I do recall a customer asking about the Jirachi event in Gamestop while I was getting the Pikachu-Colored Pichu. The man responded that there will be one (as Wichu said) so I'm pretty sure I'll be wanting to get it. Though I am not a huge Jirachi fan, I'm an event collector so when the release date is confirmed I'll be sure to head to Gamestop. ;]

The Doctor February 19th, 2010 11:00 AM

Damn the UK, i can never get events, somebody can trade me one

Sudeki February 24th, 2010 3:13 PM

Anyone wanna explain how I would get the event pokemon? I happen to live a block away from a gamestop xD, So would I just go there and hop on there wifi or something and it will automatically download it into my game or what? xD

Zelda February 24th, 2010 7:50 PM

^ In order to obtain an event through Gamestop, all you have to do is go there and turn on your game. In the start menu, select Mystery Gift and 'Receive through Wireless'. >_>; If I remember correctly it's either that or 'Receive with Wi-Fi'. Once all the information goes through, start your game up and go to the nearest pokémart and you will see a man dressed all in green. Make sure you have an empty slot in your team party and he will give you the event. :3
