Arceus Download for Pokémon Diamond, Pearl & Platinum  on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

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.

The former top user was Keven! You'd probably give birth to yourself 1000 times over until you sprout wings to fly away into the fading sun, that or you'd just turn into a lesbian. Who knows @_@ - L, 12/06/09

Don't worry, you'll be getting your Movie Arceus pretty soon too most likely.

Anyway, I'm going to make my best effort to get to Plymouth on the 20th, I absolutely cannot afford to miss this Event.

Why can't they just use Wi-Fi Connection for these events at this point?

I know, it's pretty ridiculous. Smilie Especially since Pokémon isn't as popular as it once was...

I don't want to go to GAME with my DS if there is going to be face painting and balloons and whatnot. I'd much rather get this over Wi-Fi. Nintendo really hate technology don't they Smilie

Add me on anything. I'm always looking for new friends/opponents/town visitors/chances to appear more popular than I actually am.

You should be able to access Mystery Gift from outside the shop.

We already had our Arceus Event, remember?

You can still get the Jirachi over at Gamestop, you know.

It requires great courage to look at oneself honestly, and forge one's own path.

Yeah, or you can get an infinite amount from pre-ordering Pokemon Colosseum.

Apparently you get it via a download code, and there's only one code per person? Smilie How lame...
