This event will allow trainers to unlock special areas in Pokémon Platinum where they can catch legendary pokémon Regice, Registeel and Regirock at level 30. It may beuse to catch Regigigas at Snowpoint Temple, level 1 in Platinum.

It is somewhat bizarre that the event ends the day before Platinum is released, making it impossible to get this Regigigas directly to your Platinum cartridge.

Once again, the time has come! The next iteration of the Toys R Us giveaways will soon be upon us! From February 8th (Sunday) to February 14th (Saturday), every participating Toys R Us will be handing out Shaymins to every attendee! Luckily for those with a tight schedule, this event will last for an entire week, and will span through all open hours of the store.

Included in this giveaway, will be a complimentary Pokemon poster and a $5.00 Coupon for any Nintendo DS game.

Shaymin is a pure Grass-Type pokemon that has a balanced set of stats. His special ability is “Natural Cure”, which cures Shaymin of any status effect once it switches out. He also comes with his signature technique: “Seed Flare”, which is a 120 Power Grass-Type move that has 85% accuracy. Shaymin also has the ability to transform into his “Sky Forme”, which gives it boosted Special Attack and Speed at the cost of Defense and Special Defense.

So, once again, for all you virtuous non-hackers out there, you can finally get your hands on this warrior of the skies!

A calendar featuring the Diamond and Pearl movie trilogy has emerged, obviously using artwork from the 10th, 11th, and 12th movies. Click the thumbnail of the calendar to the right for a much larger photo. On it are the names of the major Pokemon in each of the movies, with every name having certain letters in bold. What letters are they? S-R-C-E-U-R-A-A-R.

Rearranging the letters gives you the name "ARRCEAUS." However, why is there an additional A and R in the name? Is it to confuse people trying to decipher the calendar? Wait a second... one of the "A" and one of the "R" are in yellow, while all the other letters are in red. Are we supposed to exclude those? Let's see what happens... "ARCEUS" is spelled! Obviously, the calendar is foreshadowing that Arceus will be in the 12th Pokemon movie, To the Conquering of Space-Time.

A huge thanks goes to Skitty for taking the photo of the calendar!
