View Full Version : Gamestop Pokemon


The Forgotten One

Note: as far as I know, this is just in the USA

This week only, Gamestop is giving away a special Shiny Raikou. Next week they are giving away a special shiny Entei or Suicune. The next week they will be giving away a special shiny Entei or Suicune (which ever was not given out the week before). When traded to Pokemon Black or White, they will unlock an event that will allow to capture the all new Pokemon Zoroark.

Note: I think you only need one, but why not get all three?

Also, sometime in March, they will be giving away a special Celebi that when traded to Black/White will unlock and event that will give you a Zorua.

Anyone already got the Raikou?

Hmm... Unfortunatley I wouldn't be able to get them because of my embarassment of sharing a pink DS with my sister...:mad:

For what games? Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, SS, HG, Black, and White?

If anybody would be willing to trade one, let me know...

I convinced my mother to do it for me. Hopefully she won't embarass herself too badly. It was like 20 Q... What will they do? How will they do it? So they plug in the game there and upload it? Ugh...Parents and technology. I don't think I will get them all though...

I saw this when I was in Vegas yesterday and I was gonna get it on mah HeartGold but I completely forgot once I got to the mall because I was too preoccupied with getting the last two Professor Laytons.

I'm gonna go one of these days though. Wow, I almost feel guilty, I can get five of each one thanks to all those Pokemon games. xD

You just use Mystery Gift when you go to game stop. For Diamond, Pearl and Platinum make sure that you unlock Mystery gift in you game first. Heart Gold and Soul Silver already have Mystery Gift unlocked.

It's not worth the time. You can make simple trades in the Trade Center easy.

But now, you can get rarer versions free.:lol:

That is true. That sense of accomplishment gives you the determination to try and catch another, but there's always those couple that you are too lazy to ever capture...:lol:

I got both Shiny Raikou,and Shiny Entei. Just need Shiny Suicune,and the supposed Celebi event(not confirmed yet by gamestop or Pokemon.com).

If you missed the Shiny Beast's events, They will be available over WiFI for ppl in Europe. If the WiFi distribution for these events is the same as the other WiFi events of the past.Then its a safe bet, that you get the one's you missed out on, over the wifi connection.


Also the Toysrus website removed the Ash's Pikachu event from their event list. But according to Pokemon.com its available at Toysrus from Jan 30th-Feb 13th.
