Looks like y'all will have to wait for another hour :)
Anyway, I hope it's something useful.
 
I'm Portuguese, only at Night I will see what is. :S

It has to be Mystery Gift or GTS, or maybe we can surf to Darkrai or Shaymin's Island..
 
Oh, that Masuda sure is kind cute. I think it is maybe an upgrade or something. On my brothers x box they can get upgrades via on line for phantasy star. Im not sure if this is possible 4 our system but it makes sense

I think it will have something to do with Darkrai, because on Pokemon.com there is a silhoutte of darkrai floating around the site.
 
I'm not even too sure if it's even true anymore. It could something else other than receiving something in mystery gift wifi. I don't know, just got to wait what people in Japan get/do. It could be just specific for them.
 
Or maybe they don't want to both uploading the gift the instant that it turns 12:00am?

Yeah, I was thinking that too. xD They probably do in the morning when they are open up again.

Upcoming Surprise in Diamond and Pearl - Junichi Masuda, the primary director of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, has revealed on his blog that there will be a surprise ("something different") for people who play Pokemon Diamond and Pearl on January 12th, his birthday. It is unknown if this message only applies to the Japanese games, but if you have the English versions, it would not hurt to try!
The nature of the surprise and what exactly will happen is unknown of course, but in Masuda's post, he refers to the word "aspiration" twice, which may be a hint. Aspiration means "the will to succeed," and is also the original name of Lake Valor in the Japanese games (it was originally Lake Aspiration). Perhaps if one goes to Lake Valor on January 12th, there will be a surprise of some sort? If you have forgotten which lake is Lake Valor, it is the one where Azelf resides (located in the southern part of Route 214). Team Galactic bombs it in the middle of the game, and it dries up as a result. Of course, Lake Valor may have absolutely nothing to do with Masuda's message (and that probably is the case), but I am sure we will find out what it truly means soon. It might even involve something over Wi-Fi or Mystery Gift. We'll keep you updated!

Nothing important

WiFi is more than likely needed, if not it the 'event' would be set for that date which I highly doubt. Also, do you think it will be regional? i.e Happens in America and Japan but forgets the rest ;_;

It could be something simple or something really special, from an event Pokemon to announcing the 3rd version?

That isn't it, because they say "Play pokemon pearl/diamond" Not check the website, might be a new pokemon mind you.
 
Considering he says "You -will- find something different" I doubt it would be something as subtle as that.
 
Maybe the event won't happen until it is the 12th in all countries? It isn't the 12th in the UK for another 8 hours, and even more than that for the US.
