Toys R' Us is like 30 mins away from where I live so I might not get it, I'll end up trading it for any of the crown beasts since I'll have 3 of each one.

Can you get the 3 beasts over WiFi or do I have to go to a Gamestop store?

You actually have to go to the store to get them.

BTW, how did you miss the Shiny Beasts event thread? That's where you should've asked this question...

'm going to see about getting it, though it doesn't really matter much to me if I don't. I have enough Pikachus and other than having the title 'Ash's Pikachu', it doesn't seem like anything special.

Yeah, you have too, but it'll probably go over Wi-fi if you live in the US.

I'm getting the event. Up until Wi-Fi events, I was never able to go to them because they were all in New York or Boston.

I'm going to attend this event just because I can. Besides, who doesn't want yet another Pikachu?

They were not just in New York or Boston, events have been constantly held and Toys R Us and Gamestop for the last couple years in all states. This is excluding stuff like VGC events and World08,09, 10 and so on. I honestly don't want one since I have many event Pikachu like at least 10 from 10 ANIV, PBR, Macdonalds, Kyoto, Japanese Colosseum, ANA, GW, Japanese PC aka Gotta Catch Em All, and so on. I will probably just get it too give away too people that haven't got the chance to get them or for collecting purposes. But Pikachu events are mah to say the least.

I'll try, seeing the closest Toys R Us anywhere around NYC(or that I know of) is near my school, in downtown Manhattan, but thanks goodness for subways/trains...
Question, is it just like the Gamestop events where you can just walk in, start up Mystery Gift and obtain wirelessly? Or do you let the staff do it for you?

It is via wireless. I believe the last time they did Slot 2 insertion or anything of that manner was during the Mystery Mew events back in 06. I remember going in for a Darkrai, Shaymin, Regigigas, Arceus and they were all received wireless from connect.

I've been looking for this to be available over wifi for a long time now but still nothing. Hopefully they will decide to do it because I don't want to have to whip out the old action replay just to get it. I know not everybody has internet access but there are still a lot of people like me who have to drive forever just to get to Gamestop/Toys "R" Us.

this event strikes me as completely pointless to be honest. i mean, its not like pikachu is hard to come by. it doesnt have any special moves like the shiny and noched eared pichu had. it doesnt unlock anything in game either. i just dont see what the point is. i dont live near a toys r us so i cant get one, but i dont think i would end up getting one even if i could.

Why would you need to whip out AR? It's not like Pikachu is rare or impossible to obtain in the game.

I don't know how many times I have to say this. It's for marketing purposes. Pokemon events are usually there topic market things, like the Shiny Beasts and Celebi to market Black and White, Notched Ear Pichu to Market HGSS. And the list goes on. For this case the event is in place to market Pokemon Black and White Anime aka Best Wishes.

Wish they would make these kind of events that aren't available for countries via WiFi. If I had the opportunity on getting this event, I'd attend.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I walked into my nearest ToysRUs yesterday and the staff had NO idea what I was talking about. Eventually one of them got hold of the manager who said that their store was not participating in the giveaway, and that the nearest store that was, was...well, a LOT farther away. Similar happened to my friend who called up another ToysRus--the staff there wasn't sure if they were holding the event.

If you're planning to pick Ash's Pikachu up, double check with the ToysRUs you're going to! I don't know if this is only some weird quirk for my area, but it'll be a good idea to check anyway.

They did the same thing to me a long time ago when I tried to download Shaymin. Luckily I have two Toys R Us in the same City.

No there is no know info on Euro Celebi just the Shiny Beasts as of now. I suggest checking the link above that pertains to Celebi too look for updates. Since this topic is about Pikachu.
