UK Arceus Event - GAME Stores

[Havak]

UK Arceus Event​

In the two weeks running up to the launch of Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver in the UK, from March 13th - March 21st, GAME will be hosting events in selected stores. You'll be the first to play HeartGold & SoulSilver, meet other Pokémon fans to trade, collect and battle to determine who is the best trainer. And if that weren't enough there'll be face painting and balloon modelling in selected stores and a Pokémon expert to give you hints and tips - who knows he may accept a challenge or two! I think we all know who this is now, if you go to events often! You'll have the chance to download the mighty Arceus to your copy of Pokémon Diamond, Pokémon Pearl & Pokémon Platinum! Don't forget to bring your DS lite, DSi or DSi XL with you. It's also now confirmed that GAME will be giving out the figures of Lugia & Ho-Oh for people who pre-order HeartGold & SoulSilver.

thelaytonmobile,

So, it'd be nice if some UK Smogon members can meet up at some of these Events, eh? I'll be going to the Manchester one, if you want to meet up I'd be happy to. Also, if you are going and want to be added underneath said Event, just post saying so.

This is going to be the Arceus to trade to HeartGold & SoulSilver and get one of the Dragon Trio.

 

[B-Lulz]

Will probs go to the Birmingham one if i'm not doing other things.

 

[cantab]

I should think I'll be making the Birmingham one too. I still need to order HG/SS anyway.

Wonder if they'd notice - or care - if I try to get it on my flash cart? That way I could get multiple Arceus. I'll be bringing my legit Platinum as well of course.

 

[twash]

Will most likely be at Cabot Circus. If anybody wants to meet, let me know.

 

[thelaytonmobile]

Finally, an Arceus event! I'll probably be in York, with four cartridges to download onto!
Anyone coming to York have a legit Darkrai I can borrow? :D
I have a legitamate Mew if anyone wants one...

 

[vashta]

I will be going to Sheffield as it's where I live. I'm happy to meet up with people if the case comes.

 

[Wichu]

I'm going to try to get to either London or Bedford (possibly both, if lots of people go).

 

[Osirus182]

Amazing, I didnt actually think we'd get an event just a wi-fi download....bonus!!! I think i'll try and make either the London or Alesbury one, it'll be nice to meet some smogoners if anyonesactually going to either of these stops.

 

[cantab]

Do we know anything about the Arceus? Is it going to be another level 100, or might we actually get it at a lower level. Any special moves expected? Being as how it's a HG/SS event, it would be great to see something like Aeroblast (Lugia), Sacred Fire (Ho-oh), Leech Seed (Celebi), and Judgement.

 

[EspyJoel]

Likely going to Sheffield one if I can find a decent price, otherwise going to the London one.
EDIT: Now definitely going to Sheffield one.

 

[Havak]

Yeah, it's just going to be the same event Arceus given away all over Europe already. Level 100, Rowap Berry, Spacial Rend, Roar of Time, Shadow Force.

 

[Toothache]

*Terms and Conditions: To receive your download code for Alpha Pokémon Arceus for your Pokédex just bring along a copy of Pokémon Diamond, Pokémon Pearl or Pokémon Platinum and a DS console. Without this we are unable to provide a code. No codes will be provided by email. One code per person. Any codes lost or misplaced will not be replaced. The figurine will be available to anyone who purchases a Pokémon product on the day (including pre-orders of HG & SS).

Does anyone understand what this means? I've never heard of a download code before, I would have expected it to be on local wifi download or Wondercard or something.

In case anyone is wondering, I will be around the Manchester event on 13th, so I may see you there.

They must've misspelled wondercard.

Havak <3
Will probably be going to the liverpool one, didn't bother with the summer event as it was on my birthday / CBA syndrome, but i should make an effort to go this time.

 

[cantab]

My guess is they simply don't want to use jargon. A lot of people probably don't know what a wondercard is. It's possible that it's being done differently, but I doubt it.

Slightly disappointed it's the same old Farceus. But still, the Alpha Pokemon is the Alpha Pokemon.

 

[Son_of_Shadoo]

I'll probably hit the Belfast event.

 

[stingray_spin]

I'll most likely make the Oxford Street one in two weeks' time. I might even try to get there before it opens.

 

[Havak]

Yeah Toothache, I read that. I think it's just some ambiguous wording - what I expect is that it's only one Figure per person if you buy something and download Arceus on the day.

I'm pretty sure it'll be a regular wondercard mystery gift download.

I'll see you at the Manchester one Toothache :)

 

[Darkvirus]

ill be at the norwich one with my plat and pearl

 

[SBM]

will be going to the sheffield one with D/P/Pt for three arceus'
and maybe some battles

 

[Dan Dan]

I'll most likely make the Oxford Street one in two weeks' time. I might even try to get there before it opens.

I will also be going to the Oxford Street one, PM me your mob number closer the time.

The Kingston one is nearer to me, but it's actually a lot easier to get to London than Kingston from where I live.

 

[Lord Feraligatr]

I'm either going to the one on Oxford St or to the one in Norwich. I'll be going with a whole bunch of people so i'm having to wait for the group to select one. What nature Arceus are people going to soft reset for ? Wonder if Dave (Ash) will be there again ?

 

[Gregers_Likes_Pie]

Possibly going to go to the Brighton one, anyone else?

 

[Cinaclov]

Going to Reading. I'm quite excited about this tbh.

 

[Skytt]

I only live 9 miles away from Kingston, so if I decide to go, it will be there.

The only other event i've been to was the Shaymin event in Guildford, April last year.
