To celebrate the release of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Nintendo is teaming up with GAME stores around the UK for a special Arceus download for Diamond, Pearl & Platinum. Arceus is the 493rd and final Pokémon in the fourth generation of Pokémon games and was made available in the US in November 2009.
Arceus will allow players to access the Sinjoh ruins in HeartGold and Soulsilver letting you capture Dialga, Palkia or Giratina. The event also features a test play of HeartGold & SoulSilver as well as face painting and balloon modelling for the young kids.
