It'll probably start with Z, but Zoroark doesn't actually sound too weird for localisedmon. Maybe it'll end up as Zoloark or Zoroalk. xP

Maybe he can control the evil inside peoples?

You and your experience with 4Kids and their translations of One Piece.

Goddammit

I was thinking that when I first saw him...damn fanboys...

You mean fangirls right?
Anyway; he's doomed.

Speaking of fanart, just discovered this.

AHAHAHAHAA LOOK AT ME I'M DOUBLE POSTING! AHAHAHAHA

Anyways, the Jirachi event is coming here in 2 days. Apparently, when it's traded over to HG/SS, it unlocks the Pokewalker route "Night Sky's Edge". So keep on the lookout 'cuz you guys might get this.

On a side note...

In Japan, the Jirachi event was done over Wifi. You have to go to a shop in US right? I hope they don't do that in UK. There's never an event near me.

Speaking of UK Events, Serebii says the Arceus one has finally been announced, but as usual it's in a few GAME shops dotted around the country The chances of me getting a legit Arceus are slim...

Sweden fails with anything that has to do with pokemon. Although, I admit I have no clue where or how to get info about events and such, but it shouldn't be as secretive and hard to find in my opinion! Should be out there, for all kitts to see! Or atleast how to get hands on info. There's such a tiny chance to get a legit super legendary pokemon here. Not many are up for trading of those that actually have them.
Not that I know many around here actually playing pokemon. *feels lonely*

So the UK Arceus Event will unlock the hidden Sinjho Ruins event in HG/SS, so yes it's the equivalent of the much sought after "movie Arceus". This is such a big deal that I simply cannot afford to not go, so I'll be going to Plymouth on the 20th, which is a few hours away from where I live. YAY.

My brother and I will both be taking Platinum, as well as my Diamond and his Pearl, so we'll have 4 legit Movie Arceus' between us with any luck. It's been years since we last went to a Pokémon Event, so I really hope we can go.

That means I've got to go to Oxford Street to get a legit Arceus, great, one long and boring bus journey.

Bah, there aren't any events near me. And my geography is terrible so I can't be bothered to work out which is closest. XD

I might be getting my Jirachi today. Maybe I'll restart Leaf Green and Emerald while I'm at it.

There's an event just down the road from me. But tbh I can't be bothered.

One of my friends said, "I've got to get the original Gold and beat that in time for HeartGold's release."

To which my other friend replied, "Why? They're the same game."

I had to resist slapping him.

I got my Jirachi today. It's Modest and likes to eat. It's Level 5 and knows Draco Meteor along with Wish, Confusion, and Rest.

I've also restarted Leaf Green today. My 6-man team now consists of Charmander, a Pidgey, a Kakuna, and a Pikachu. Once I finish the game, I'll restart Emerald.

I have an unlimited amount of Jirachis at my disposal, because I pre-ordered Pokemon Colosseum for the GameCube.

Terms and Conditions for UK Arceus Event:

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).

What the fuck? A download code? How will that work
Also one per person, I am not happy about this.

That doesn't sound right...I mean, all we in the US usually have to do is just drive around to the local game store, walk inside a few seconds, Wireless Mystery Gift, maybe whip out another version if you're feeling greedy (not me, though), and out.

And I could just use a friend's Action Replay to get any Legie Key Item I want.

EDIT: Bottom line, they're in-game legit, I only got one of each one in Emerald, this was years ago, and I caught 'em fairly.

And now...QUAGSMIRE!

I see what you did there!

From Serebii:

Europeans can download a shiny Pichu (pikachu coloured) from March 5th - March 26th over Nintendo Wi-Fi on Diamond, Pearl or Platinum.

Transfering this Pichu to HeartGold/SoulSilver unlocks a small event that gets you a Spiky-eared Pichu.
