Three Pokémon Giveaway Events Coming To GameStop

[GODCHILD1020]

Nintendo has just revealed a partnership with GameStop to give out three legendary Pokémon to Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver players. The Pokémon that will be given out are special versions of Raikou, Entei, and Suicune.


Pokémon fans may be wondering what might make these already obtainable Pokémon so special? For starters each of the Pokémon given out at these events will be shiny, which means they will appear in game with different colors than the usual variety. Secondly if and when these versions of Raikou, Entei, and Suicune are transferred to the upcoming Pokémon Black and White games, they will unlock the ability to catch a new Pokémon named Zoroark. Zoroark will only be obtainable in this way!


Sadly all three of these Pokémon will not be available at the same event. Pokémon fans will have to go back to GameStop multiple times in order to obtain the full trio. Below is a schedule of when fans can expect to obtain each Pokémon.


Raikou- January 3rd – January 9th
Entei- January 17th – January 23rd
Suicune- January 31st – February 6th

Goddamn it. Gamestop always taunt me with their free Pokemon giveaway, and yet I ignore them because I feel as though there's a price if I do this thing.

I would do it but it would be so embarrassing waiting in line with a bunch of 10 year olds.

I didn't know you were a Pokemon fan.

I have always played Pokemon from red & blue on the game boy color. Waiting for Pokemon White and Black, after that the 3DS whichever comes first.

I also played Pokemon Colosseum on the Gamecube and the lastest one Pikachu's poke park after that never touched the Wii again. I have great memories of Pokemon trading with my cousins racing to get the pokemon badges, using the gameshark to get Pokemon and the infinite Gold nuggets on the island ( forgot the name) going up and down until you find the little glitch like Pokemon. The item had to be in the sixth place in your items.

Oh, hell yeah. It was Cinnabar Island. The glitch where you find MissingNo. Loved that glitch. I used it for Rare Candies and Master Balls. I even used the clone glitch from Gold and Silver for Rare Candies and Master Balls. It even caused my game to crash when I messed it up.

I too used a Gameshark and Code Breaker to cheat on Ruby and Sapphire, but it caused my game data to crash. So after that, I officially stopped using glitches and decided to do the other method of owning two GBAs/DSes to trade Pokemon and level up.

For the system games, the last one I played was Battle Revolution. Felt like a stripped down version of Stadium 1 with online added to it. Even customizing my character(s) was lacking since most of the outfit were recolors with different textures.

I skipped that one because I dint like Pokemon stadium that much for the N64. Those were some of the better graphics on that console.

My favorite one on the consoles is Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness. There was more of an action adventure aspect to the game.

Doubt it. They already gave those away via WiFi in Japan, so we'll probably get it that way as well. So I'm not really going to take the word of some random ass guy from some random ass site who feels that it's necessary to beg for friends on Twitter and Facebook in an article.

Pokémon | HeartGold & SoulSilver <-- Official announcement does not say that you can only get it this way, only that you can't get it in normal gameplay. They will likely give it away via other means as well, so I'm not going to go to the worst place on earth for buying video games on the say-so of some random twat who cares more about social networking friends than getting the facts straight.

Also if you just want to talk Pokémon in general, we have a thread for that already: Pokémon!
