Rivvon November 14th, 2012 9:35 PM

My boyfriend lives in Germany and he is not happy about the Lightningrod Pikachu, lol! He was finally able to purchase White 2 about a month ago and he doesn't appreciate the "buy a game significantly after its release and get a special code" gimmick.

But anyways, I really hope the Eevee Tournament happens internationally at some point. I love Rotation battles and it would be nice to have a tournament using Pokemon that are not as competitive (and also, that C-Gear skin is stunning!).

I didn't even fully read the event for Germany's Pikachu lol XD Its the same as the Target Lucario here. Its prolly to try and boost sales in the game in that region. But yes the Eevee thing...I hope it happens Internationally. I seriously want to try to take part in it if I can. Already trying to assemble a team for it. XD

I think this should happen internationally too (over Wi-Fi, I hope).

Currently all the "Anniversary" events are Japan only, We have a year before we'd get these, and we may not get the legends. We could get anything else, though I don't remember a G/S anniversary event for D/P/Pt/HG/SS...If we didn't get one then I don't think we'll get one.

Also updated the first post to include the Victini Pokemon Center Download and Global Link Pansage download.

Coolayush23 November 20th, 2012 9:01 AM

The genesect event just got over a few days back...

FrostPheonix November 20th, 2012 11:01 AM

in german area, felt really angry at nintendo for making that pikachu code available AFTER you buy it at release. At least make it available to all those who have already registered on PGL with BW2 before christmas..... i mean, I think a lot of people are feeling quite angry at them for that here. Although, I don't really use pikachu :D.

Gothorita Event
 
They now release an event to get Gothorita, but what is so special about it? You can just catch it in black 1 & 2.

The Gothorita has its awesome dream world ability, Shadow Tag.

On another note, a TR Meowth event is nice.

Meloetta Revealed

Ladies and gentlemen, if the Japanese release of the Movie 12 Meloetta on July 14 (the day the 15th movie dropped in Japan) was any indication, we may have something to look forward to on December 8.

Cyclone

Jellicent♀ December 5th, 2012 9:46 AM

I, personally, am most excited about the new PokeDex skin download, the Bianca Dex.
It's so cute!


For our Japanese members/players, this download will be available from December 4th, 2012 to January 29th, 2013.
Password to obtain: たのしく


何贤豪 December 6th, 2012 12:08 AM

Well, since XanderO placed an announcement about a Wi-Fi Tournament, I'll do the same with the latest one...there's the 2012 VGCS Winter Battle. Signups are being accepted right now, it starts @ 14 December 2012 00:00 UTC and ends @ 17 December 2012 23:59 UTC. It's only for B2W2...I think the rules follow the VGC rules. Anyone that follows that gets into the ranking gets a Custap Berry. It's for any country excluding Japan + South Korea. Yep, that's the details. Oh, I forgot something. There's some stuff for participants regarding about the VGC. I got this...
Quote:

In each of the three Play! Pokémon age divisions, 128 North American players and 128 European players will earn Championship Points, which will contribute toward qualifying for the 2013 Pokémon Video Game World Championships.
Additionally, the top 16 North American players will earn a first-round bye to an upcoming Pokémon Regional Championship. Bye qualifications for European players are still to be determined.
Of course, to get this stuff, you'd need a Player ID.

Xander Olivieri December 6th, 2012 9:54 PM

New Download. Basically a repeat of the Target Lucario though.

For those of you in America, a new PGL Promotion has been announced. This promotion will give you a random one of the Sinnoh Starters with their Hidden Ability; Turtwig with Shell Armor, Chimchar with Iron Fist or Piplup with Defiant. These are obtained by a serial code in new copies of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 from Wal-Mart. The Event Database has been updated with details of this event.

Are there any chances that they'll be 100% male like Japan's DW starter events, or will we finally have a chance to obtain them as females?

They don't have that information out yet, but most likely all Male to prevent breeding.

Update: they are all male. Also, they apparently aren't random; therefore, you can choose which one you want. So that's nice. Iron Fist Chimchars for everyone! =P

Cyclone December 9th, 2012 9:07 PM

What I'm understanding of that is that it will be held at six different mall locations at each of which one can obtain a Lv.100 Deoxys.

Of course, it's not in America. And I really want a North American Meloetta soon now that the newest movie is out here.

Cyclone

From Serebii this morning:

Quote:

The first details of the next Pokémon movie have started to come through the Japanese magazine, CoroCoro. The sixteenth movie has been revealed to feature a shiny Genesect, showcasing the appearance it has in flight, and be called Extremespeed Genesect (神速のゲノセクト), with tradition dictating there will likely be an addition to the title in the Spring. The movie is due for release in Japan in July 13th 2013. Attached is a Pikachu short that features Eevee called Pikachu & Eevee Friends (ピカチュウとイーブイフレンズ). In addition to that, Genesect is to be given again in Japan from January 11th 2013 to February 10th 2013 in Pokémon Centres across Japan for Black, White, Black 2 and White 2. We'll provide more details as it comes.
I know this is Japan-only, but also comes as the first official Genesect release that also includes the original B/W games. Also, watch for a downloadable Shiny Genesect come the summer in Japan; they won't send it here, I'm sure.

Google Translate is telling me they're IRL events, but I'm not sure where, as I can't rely on it fully.

This looks like another gift in celebration to Gen 3's 10th anniversary. Now that leaves only Jirachi, who has yet to obtain an event.

I am so entering this tournament

Cyclone January 3rd, 2013 10:56 AM

I'm curious how they work, but being reminded of this, I have to make sure I get a group trained. Might have to import one or two from Black (already in the 70s) for this tournament. I believe they get scaled back to 50, yes? No need to train to maximum?

Cyclone

masaru3 January 23rd, 2013 4:57 AM

@CycloneGu, no you only have to train the pokémon to level 50. Higher than that will be reduced (for the length of the tournament) to level 50. Lower than that will remain with their levels.
Let's say you didn't train you Alakazam enough and left it at level 41, it will remain at level 41 :P

There is a new Wi-Fi event. There will be, soon! It's a Keldeo at level 50, for the english/european games. I'm not sure if this is the place to share this piece of information. I saw it on serebii :)

Camisado January 23rd, 2013 3:27 PM

Man, I really want to get involved in the tournaments! I don't think my in-game team is suitable for competitive battling yet, though... my Platinum team was the best! Maybe I should recreate it or transfer it over to White 2.

I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this, but on the matter of the Lightningrod Pikachu, has anyone in the UK or Germany considered speaking to Nintendo of Europe customer support and asking if we can be given a code for being what I believe to be loyal customers?! I've seen in other places online that people have spoken to Amazon UK, who have gone "lol nope", so wondered if NoE would have a different opinion... it's certainly not fair! I won't be buying a second copy of the game for a Pikachu, but at the same time, I feel cheated...

Cyclone January 24th, 2013 12:41 PM

Just opened W2 today and did a random check for gifts. There is now an official North America Keldeo available for download on Nintendo WFC. You can get this even if you claimed one for B/W in the past from EB/Gamestop.

Sad it's not a Meloetta, but hopefully it's around the corner!

Cyclone

Jigglymilk January 24th, 2013 1:11 PM

I got my Keldeo! I LOVE IT!!! <3 But I am curious how to change it's form? Hopefully Meloetta is next :P Or Victini!

You'll need to take Keldeo to the Pledge Grove, north of Floccesy Town. The path to the grove is north of Alder's home, though it's a pretty narrow path. You then need to examine the huge stone with those three big slash imprints (for a lack of a better term) with Keldeo in your party.

Also, I'm wishing for a Meloetta event like you are, not so much Victini, however...

Pinkie-Dawn January 24th, 2013 4:35 PM

I got my Keldeo for both Black 2 and White 2 today, but I wonder if it still works on BW1 games.

Are you inquiring on whether you can trade it there? But of course. It's not like you trade it then send it out for battle...and it doesn't emerge.

I mean is it possible to obtain Keldeo from this Wi-Fi event with BW1, even though you already obtain one from the previous event?

No, Keldeo can only be downloaded for B2W2. It would have listed all the Gen 5 games if it were downloadable for all four of them.

Not necessarily. Remember the first Keldeo? For B/W? Go look at that Wonder Card. It says B2/W2, which weren't even RELEASED yet at the time.

Keldeo for B/W was advertised for Black and White only on main site, poster, and the commercial. Its Wonder Card said you could send it to B2W2, not that it was for B2W2.

This current one says specifically that it can only be downloaded on Black 2 and White 2.

blackwing18421 February 1st, 2013 11:50 AM

i just tried to gret my keldeo on black 2 but it said no gifts available. it was suppost to be until the 4th but it's only the first whats going on

Blade_of_darkness February 4th, 2013 6:26 PM

Well, I just happened to check Serebii.net, & found out that Meloetta is finally going to be distributed in GameStop stores in the US, starting March 4, & lasts until the 24th of March. It's for all Gen V games.

There will also be one for Canada, being distributed through EB Games, starting at March 9th. End date for the Canadian event is unknown.

Guess we'll be getting Meloetta after all. Rejoice!

just wanted to warn a few people, i saw that first thing this morning and took the perilous 6.13 mile journey to gamestop on my bike. it turns out they didn't know about it yet and didn't have it even though they had keldeo. you may want to call ahead or wait a few days until your local game stop actually finds out about it.

It specifically states March 4th on Serebii, Pokejungle, Bulbapedia, and Pokemon.com. We are still in February. We still have a whole month before its active.

Pinkie-Dawn February 5th, 2013 7:08 AM

Well it's about time that Meloetta is getting an event in the U.S. even after the end of its arc in the English dub. Looks like they're trying to get every Gen V event out of the way quickly, learning from their mistakes for not sending the Arceus event and Capsule event from Gen IV, in preparations for XY.

Cyclone February 5th, 2013 7:24 AM

That means it'll be EB carrying it here in Canada...

I still question why they took so damn long in the first place. They know other countries had it with the 15th movie, right?

Also, don't understand why we start five days later.

aw man, whoever was in charge of posting that was totally posting it on the 4th on purpose just so people would miss the first number and run over to gamestop and look stupid. XD
oh well, i was kind of disappointed that no one else was there but now i guess there still could be some pokemon fans in my area. i'll just go again next month and see.

Actually, you need to start paying better attention & getting your dates straightened out - I've clearly stated that it's going to start on the 4th of March, not February.

i'm sorry but i don't get my news from you so frankly it doesn't matter what you stated. on pokemon.com it was in numbers, not letters and easy to be confused. and farther more that was a joke, hence the XD. calm yourself, go laugh at something on the internet, understand the way of the joke.

Xander Olivieri February 5th, 2013 7:44 PM

Straight from Pokemon.com:

Visit participating GameStop stores from March 4th, 2013 to get the Mythical Pokémon Meloetta!

Keep checking Pokemon.com to find out how you can add Meloetta to your game via a special distribution event at GameStop stores. You'll need a system in the Nintendo DS or Nintendo 3DS family, plus a Pokémon Black Version, Pokémon White Version, Pokémon Black Version 2, or Pokémon White Version 2 game. This Meloetta character distribution will also be available in Canada at participating EB Games locations starting March 9th.

The distribution event will run for a limited time—so don't miss this opportunity to get Meloetta!


Just to post official statement to avoid further confusion.

No they haven't posted anything for the UK or any Europe Countries. I'll keep checking their versions of Pokemon.com though Serebii will most likely post before I see the updates.

EDIT: Australia and New Zealand have their dates revealed. Both are on March 4th to April 19th. So they get it longer. In Australia it will run in EB Games and Target while in New Zealand it runs in select JB HiFi stores

Okay, here's a rather...strange event that just started.

The Pokémon Center in Nagoya, Japan has moved to a new building, so to commemorate that event, a level 99 shiny Magikarp has been released, holding a Rare Candy. Its known moves are:
-Splash
-Flail
-Bounce
-Hydro Pump

This even made me WTF hard XD

This has to be the most random Giveaway in Pokemon history.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire February 8th, 2013 11:20 AM

My thoughts exactly. Though at least it has some strong moves and is shiny, oh and it'll be easy to get it to 100 considering it has a rare candy with it...

Aussie Meloetta event announced.
 
At Hoyt's cinema Broadway on the 23rd and 24th there is an event giving away Meloetta coinciding with the release of the latest pokemon movie. Theres a cinema in each state doing the event too not just Sydney.

http://www.hoyts.com.au/movies/details/pokemon_kyurem_vs_sword.aspx

Apparently after that weekend there will be a limited release of the pokemon at select stores only which includes only about half a dozen EB games and Toys'R'Us stores in each state.

Its B&W 1 and 2

Anyone here aussie and planning to go other than me? :D Maybe we can arrange a meet up.

Anyway at least this will put me one step closer to a completed dex. Don't think i'll ever finish it cause they neglected to release Deoxys here and I suck at pokemon ranger so can't finish game to get it there haha. At least if I do manage to get the few i'm short I won't be missing a Meloetta. Closer than i've ever been and i've played all the games since red, blue and yellow.

Ready for Meloetta?
 
Meloetta is being released at gamestop starting March 4th and ending on March 24th. Make sure you get yours! I'm going to get 2, one for each of my games. Anyone excited? =D Anyone planning on using it in their party or using it to beat the game?

Just throwing this into official download discussion since that's where all discussion related to Nintendo-announced events go. :)

Anyway as for me I'm going to be getting it for sure! But I won't be using it, especially since I don't like using event legendaries through the whole game. :( Though I do need to finish/restart White 2, so hmmm!

Pinkie-Dawn March 3rd, 2013 7:09 AM

Why does March 4 have to be on college day? Now I'll never get my Meleotta on the first day. ;_;

You're still lucky tho, it isnt even released in Europe D:

Ho-Oh March 12th, 2013 2:03 AM

Changing this to remove the B2/W2 given that there's very little BW events and there's no harm in including them too!

Also because...

The first details of the distribution for the upcoming movie Extremespeed Genesect - Mewtwo's Awakening. If you pre-book tickets for this movie, you will receive a Level 100 Mewtwo with the Hidden Ability of Unnerve and the special move of Hurricane. It's not currently known how long the distribution will last or if the event will unlock anything in future games. We'll bring more as it comes so be sure to keep checking back
Edit @ 09:22; The distribution will run from April 20th for Pokémon Black, White, Black 2 & White 2 players

- Serebii
Going to get it orrr??

Pinkie-Dawn March 12th, 2013 6:05 AM

Too bad that Mewtwo will never be used on random matchups nor competitive teams since event Pokemon are banned on the former, and its DW ability and Hurricane are useless for a set on the latter. This pretty much limits his use in-game, thus wasting his maxed IVs on SpA and Speed, but even then, it's level 100, which means it'll just make the games into a cakewalk even on challenge mode.

If you are a Fighting type, you are advised to stay out of the South Atlantic, where Hurricane Mewtwo is churning up the coast blasting whatever it can. Dark types are requested to help stem the tide.

Joking aside, legendaries typically are banned from certain activities, but some contests might allow for such a Pokémon.

PlatinumDude March 12th, 2013 9:54 AM

Hurricane is an interesting tool for Mewtwo to use in Rain, but having Unnerve kinda ruins it, IMO, since I don't see any potential uses for that ability.

Xander Olivieri March 12th, 2013 10:25 AM

We don't even know if we are getting that Mewtwo internationally XD So far its Japan only so no way I can get one.

As for Unnerve, ya seems like a wasted use and I can see this Mewtwo sprouting into Rain teams.

Low level Meloetta?
 
Has anyone been lucky enough to get a low level/level 5 Meloetta from the GameStop event?

I went in to the local Gamestop shop to get a meloetta of my own,and was disappointed to have it at level 50. I wanted to raise and train meloetta myself.

I couldn't find where the Meloetta thread is.

This is the Meloetta thread ;) Merged the two since this is about events. btw, I plan to get the event... pretty soon. Not sure when, but soon. I don't plan to use it though :x

Unfortunately it's level is set at 50, Japan got it level 15 >.<

Beth Sycamore March 22nd, 2013 7:19 PM

I have a question

Is it possible to breed the level 50 meloetta with a ditto in-game,and get a low level meloetta that way?

No it is not. No legend other than Manaphy can breed with anything much less Ditto. Manaphy can breed with Ditto to create a Legendary Baby Pokemon Phione which does not evolve.

went into my local Game store (Hull) on the 22nd to see about getting a Meloetta. I was told that although the store is running the event, the machine was broken, so it couldnt be downloaded yet. Apparently, a lot of Game stores in the UK are having the same issue, and the Nintendo machine-fixing guy was running around like a headless chicken trying to fix them all. I popped in again this afternoon to see if there were any updates, and the situation was the same. So no Meloetta for me yet :/

Something tells me Europe will be getting a make-up event.

I downloaded my four! I won't actually be using them but hey.

(Meloetta that is). :3

Yusshin April 1st, 2013 11:06 PM

I want to, but there's no EB Games near me :\ and I'm not going 30min across town via bus and subway to get it (costs monies, too)

Nintendo needs more Wireless Downloads that you can do from home. I've only been able to get Darkrai and Victini so far from home.

Cyclone April 2nd, 2013 1:35 PM

I downloaded one, but want to get the Keldeo done and saved before downloading on the other. Besides, I have two trade-ins. I'll get what amounts to my fourth eventually.

Pokémon's Facebook Page
Want to catch a Level 100 Deoxys? Your chance is coming up soon! Starting May 8, Trainers in the U.S. and Canada can get the Mythical DNA Pokémon for their Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2 video games via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Visit Pokemon.com for more details. Who's planning to catch this Mythical Pokémon?
This is for all english language games. (so yay us Australians!)

tabor62 April 26th, 2013 8:12 AM

I'm a little confused about the event since Pokemon says only B2W2, but Serebii says you can also download it on BW?

Cyclone April 26th, 2013 8:29 AM

Based on the announcement, I'd say no, but you never know if they'll put it in both. Genesect never got given to B/W, only to B2/W2.

Cyclone

Pinkie-Dawn April 27th, 2013 11:24 AM

Does it also say when the Dexoys event is over, although it may not matter, since it'll take place on my college finals week.

Vaati Fulbuster May 7th, 2013 1:05 AM

Are you getting the Deoxys event tommorow?
 
Hello, everyone!

I was just wondering, who is getting the level 100 Deoxys on may 8th?

I definently am getting it!

Here is the source: http://www.serebii.net/games/currentevents.shtml
But you can also find it on marriland, i quess bulbapedia, and i think pretty much on every pokemon site.

This one is ONLY available in Pokemon White Version 2 and Black Version 2.
Just wanted to mention that.

So, quick recap: are you getting it?

Merged with our events thread :3 use this for future events!

Just grabbed Deoxys there now, pretty kewl! ^^


ToWriteLove May 7th, 2013 12:43 PM

Very disappointed that this event is only on Black and White 2, and not also one B&W one. :/

Cyclone May 7th, 2013 8:43 PM

Oh, right. It's now May 8. Go get it, folks.

Gets stampeded over.

Uh...a little help, please. *collapses*

I'll get it in the morning. Think I'll do my DW stuff shortly, then go to bed. Had a Pokémon in bed for over 24 hours without a dream, and having skipped another day, Berries should be ripe.

Yeah, that also really bummed me out, instead of getting three, I wound up only being able to pick up one.

ToWriteLove May 7th, 2013 9:09 PM

I ended up with zero due to it. xD Decided not to get White 2 and it is biting me in the butt.

Treecko May 7th, 2013 9:17 PM

I'm excited for the Deoxys event! For years I've been wanting Deoxys in a game but I was never able to attend any of the events for it. :( So you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this.
Call this weird, but I think I'll wait till May 14th to get it though. That's my birthday and I think it would make a nice birthday gift. :)

Sucks it's only for Black 2 and White 2 though. :( Good thing I have both but still.

Vaati Fulbuster May 7th, 2013 11:32 PM

Yeah! I have it. :)
It's easy if you have a fast connection.

Actually mystery gift downloads tend to be extremely quick, even if you have really bad connection. You aren't downloading all that much data probably.

I think so then...
With fast connection i mean 3 lines. (The connection box)
Most often, one line will go wrong, because if you move it the wrong way, (your ds) the connection probably fails...

Brendino May 8th, 2013 12:17 AM

I really should've paid attention- I thought you needed to use the Dream World to get Deoxys (similar to some other Pokemon in the past). Wasted about 20 minutes, but at least I got the Deoxys on my White 2 in the end. Too bad they didn't offer it for B/W as well.

Roaring Moon May 8th, 2013 10:58 PM

Just got my Deoxys. And in doing so, I discovered that you don't need the National Dex to get it! >:)

Whether that's intentional or an oversight on Nintendo/Game Freak's part, I don't know. But cool nonetheless! :)

Pinkie-Dawn May 9th, 2013 6:05 AM

I got my Deoxys yesterday. I gotta say, Nasty Plot is really useful for Deoxys, but it's also very tricky to use due to its Carvanha-like defenses (when dealing with its Normal form and Attack form). I believe it's also useful for its Defense form, so it'll not only have high defenses, but also boosted SpA from one Nasty Plot. Regardless, it'll only make Deoxys more uber-material than it already was. ;_;

It's no oversight. You could literally trade all 649 Pokémon into the game (and evolve as necessary) and complete your Pokédex before going to the E4, but you wouldn't receive the National Dex itself until after the E4 (by which point it's completed).

Deoxys Forme
 
Which forme do you like more and why?

Personally I am enjoying its attack forme. While it can get knocked out with a splash attack. Its atk and sp atk stats are insane. Wish I could use it in PWT. Anywho how about you guys?

Just a little thing, the event prefix is for forum-based events in Fifth Generation and this event can be discussed in our events thread, which is what I merged this with :3

hiff8 May 15th, 2013 4:00 PM

I really like the defense forms look, it's all bulky but still really sleek looking, but I always feel like I'm wasting him when I use his defense form.

Why does Forever has to be so mean -_-. K whatever, speculation moved. Will the red Genesect event move to America?

FrostPheonix May 18th, 2013 3:56 AM

So annoyed the Deoxys event is for english language games.... German, me :(, hasn't had the event. And I was so looking forward to it... I hope they release it for non eng-language games as well sometime in the future, or else it will REALLY be a pain.
