So, awesome. We've got another event in the UK, so we can get our hands on Shaymin. It's also not as half arsed as I thought it'd be, since there is actually going to be other things to do by the looks of it, with mostly the same things that were at the Darkrai Event last year.

So far I think myself and Toothache, along with some other friends will hopefully be making the first tour date at the Trafford Centre in Manchester. So if anyone's going to that we'll see you there. I'm also going to try and make it to at least one other Manchester Event (most likely the Manchester Arndale since that's where I'll want to pre-order Platinum anyway) so if you're going there let me know.

This should be an excuse for us UK Smogoners to have a meet-up!

Awesome! I've been looking forward to one of these events again; the last one I went to was the one in Sheffield for the release of Manaphy in Pokémon Ranger. I think I will attend the Sheffield event again with friends or the Manchester one as I'm visiting my auntie there sometime in the holidays.

edit; that reminds me, some of the enlisted GAME stores are unlikely to actually perform the actions they appear to have promised; such as a custom chocolate Pokéball (former gift) -- I was excited to see that last time. ;-;

It's annoying how you can't pre-select natures (etc) for Shaymin as I am sure people would like to do so for competitive Wi-Fi uses.

edit 2; I'd be happy to do a meet-up at either - Sheffield most likely, though.

Eh, unfortunately I am waaay to busy to even consider trecking down to Manchester in a weeks time (sorry guys =(), but it is awesome to see that the Camberley store it doing it too! ^_^ I will hop down there are pre-order Platinum, grab my Shaymin, and then see if there is anything else to do there!

EDIT: If anyone is planning to go to Camberley (lol) please do tell me!

Awesome! Brent Cross, that's just down the road (figuratively speaking). Of course, there are 2 GAME shops there, but who cares?

...

Shame I'll be on holiday at the time, really (ironically, in America).

I'll probably arrive at the Bristol one on 8th April. Should be fun, hope to see others there!

twash if i can get there i may see you then but idk if can as i can do norwich if was a day earler or bristol if a day later as traveling on the 8th >.<

Haha, awesome.
/me glares at GAME Australia for not doing this

Well, Spain had theirs announced recently, for GAME stores and Germany for McDonald's stores (lol). Maybe you'll eventually get it someitme later in the year...

Gonna head up to manchester with Havak on the 4th. I might bus it down to the Notts events too since it's only 20 minutes away.

Guildford - North Street, Guildford, Surrey, GU1 4TA

Why HELLO!! Pokemon Event?! In my backyard?!

I will have completed my Platinum import by then too! I wonder if this Shaymin will come with that flower thingy.

Is anyone else likely to show up in Guildford? If so, we can arrange a meet up or something.

I could probably go to the Kingston, Camberley or Guildford one if anyone else is up for it ;D

I'll be off to Camberly or Basingstoke or Guilford or Reading :D

Do you get the figurine if you order Platinum off the game website?

I can get to Guildford easily, so I might meet up with McGraw and Dan Dan there. Twashy, you should see if you can get there! If you catch a train to Reading, we could go from there or something, I don't know,it would be cool if you could, though.

So yeah, change my vote to Guildford ^_^

(anyone else considering Camberley could get to Guildford too I think, the train station is right next to the shopping centre, and I think that it goes direct to Guildford!)

EDIT: Complications etc...

Dang, I could have gone to the Kingston event but I moved house. and theres no event near my area. I really wanted a legit Shaymin too.

Well, once I SR mine I'll try to get it cloned and hand it out to a few people. :)

Ohh, sweet! Lucky for the UK guys! I wanted to get the Event Shaymin, but nobody is willing to part with one. Maybe one of the European guys will be kind enough to share. :)

So I just stand anywhere in the store and use Mystery Gift? That's pretty cool, I would have been put off if I had to stand in some huge line full of 10 year olds.

I'll be at the Newcastle one.

Lee, come to Manchester man.

I'm definitely going to the Kingston one. Haven't played Pokémon for a while not (a year or so XD ). Will we get Shaymin or the event thing to go and get shaymin?

I'm reluctant to travel over 150 miles for a friggin' Shaymin but I'll look into it.

It'll be basically the same as the US Shaymin, it'll be a Wondercard. Once activated you'll go to the PokéMart and there will be a Postman inside. Have a space in your party and you'll receive Shaymin at Level 50.~ You can soft-reset for Nature and IVs.

Lmao, yea that is one helluva hike. It's more or less to hang out with other smogoners then just to get Shay, I believe.

It's not 'just to get Shaymin'. I'm having friends over the night before, we will get drunk on Jack Daniels and have a good time doing other things. Then we can go to the event on Saturday, and do whatever else there is to do in the Trafford Centre.

And I thought you had endurance!

It's like, 60 miles for me on 2 trains to get to manchester but it's worth it if I get to throw up in Havak's friend's front garden again.
