Engima Stone


Starting July 31, North America players of Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver have 28 days to download the Enigma Stone, the key to unlocking Legendary Pokemon Latias and Latios. Legendary Pokemon Latias can be captured in Pokemon HeartGold. Her brother Latios can be captured in Pokemon SoulSilver. Both are exclusive to those games, unless the player has access to an Enigma Stone.

How does one get an Enigma stone?

From July 31 through August 27, The Pokemon Company and Nintendo are making the Enigma Stone available to Pokemon fans in North America. Players with wireless access will be able to download the special item, which eventually leads to a chance at catching Latios in HeartGold and Latias in SoulSilver.

In order to use the Enigma Stone, players will need to have beaten the Elite Four, claimed the National Pokedex, and have two or fewer Wonder Cards in their possession. Bulbapedia has a nifty little summary (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Enigma_Stone) of how the deal goes down.

Just make sure you go online and claim your Enigma Stone before August 27. Then you can start worrying about how to use it to get dates (http://kotaku.com/5598552/the-pokemon+powered-pick+up-line).
From Kotaku
Also note for players with Japanese games you can now download Goon Scizors over Wifi.


Night Sky Jirachi June 26th- July 16th


Some of us may have got this at Gamestop but looks like they are giving them out again. Directions for download are below.
Here's the Jirachi info:

From June 26th to July 16th players with an NTSC or PAL copy of Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold or SoulSilver will be able to get a Jirachi by connecting to Wi-Fi (Mystery Gift).

The Jirachi will be at lv.5, hold a Liechi Berry and have a Classic Ribbon. Its moveset is as follows:

Wish
Confusion
Rest
Draco Meteor

In addition, if transfered to HeartGold or SoulSilver it will unlock a Pokewalker course called Night Sky's Edge, where one can find, among others, the Pokemon Jigglypuff and Clefairy as well as the TM for Psychic and Moon Stones.

Winner's Path May 6- June 25th
http://www.serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/pokewalker-area.shtml#champpath

Great place to get items like Choice Specs.
Also according to IGN they will have great items attached to the pokemon.
Could this be better than Yellow Forest.
Thx to Ryukahn for the breaking news



Directions For Download

Start up your game, scroll down to your Mystery Gift choice on the main screen, select Receive Gift, then select Get Via Nintendo WFC. The wondercard will download into your game, and then you have to go to any Pokemart and talk to the man in the red jacket by the counter. Of course, this is all dependant on you being able to access a wireless connection on your DS.


Enjoy.
Thx to D4rkewolf4, Bargain, Icedrake, and ZxT Vendetta
Know any upcoming events, just PM me and I can update the thread.

[Kay_Faraday]

woo pikachus

[Goodeye]

Hey works for me. I just got the game and can't find one at all.

That and since I don't have pearl etc I miss out on all the other cool gifts they gave away for gold and silver.

[Ryukahn]

Is it possible to just get one thread for all of the giveaways via in-store and WiFi instead of making a new one for each event? You could just change the title of the thread. There is like 4-5 threads on Pokemon on the first page, surely we can tie those together and funnel the traffic to one or two places.

[maigoyume]

Thanks for the heads up OP

[basilofbkrst]

How far in do I get Mystery Gift?!

Why do I have to advance to get all the good stuff :(

Thanks op, gotta set up my old router again to accept a/b connections now.

[Sir_Fragalot]

Hmm I go to the mystery gift and it is says no gifts for me to receive. Is it up yet?

[D4rkewolfe]

Hmm I go to the mystery gift and it is says no gifts for me to receive. Is it up yet?

It's up now, as I just got it.

[Goodeye]

I just got it as well. Sent my Togepi to the walker and the forest route.

[detectiveconan16]

I got it today, but I'm in the middle of route 26, until I get to a Pokemon Center, I can't go on this route yet.

[utopianmachine]

Nice! Thanks for the link! Just got Yellow Forest!

[adriley313]

Just got my Yellow forest too.

Thx ME

[Pck21]

I need some help...

I just got the new DSi Xl and connected it to my home wireless network. Everything works fine there.

However, when I go to get the Mystery Gift via Nintendo WFC within the main menu, it won't connect. When I look at my connection settings in the main menu of Pokemon, it says there are only 3 connections and my connection is established on connection 4 because of my advanced wireless setup (SSID is not broadcast and encryption is WPA2). What can I do?

EDIT: Nevermind I got it. Apparently, the WFC doesn't support WPA in games. Sooooo I have to downgrade to WEP or I'm kinda screwed lol. That's not going to happen so I need to find another solution.

Yeah. It's kinda silly that the DSi and DSi XL support WPA, but the DS games themselves do not.

You can do as myself and others have done, just downgrade it to WEP, do what you need to do with Nintendo WFC, then put the WPA security back up.

[basilofbkrst]

About 20 minutes in.

Turns out I never noticed the scroll bar to the side. Whoops.

[crunchewy]

My son downloaded the new route. Thanks OP!

[basilofbkrst]

Got the Yellow Forest route. This should be fun and terribly painful.

[ramatut4001]

I did it and caught a Pikachu. Thanks for reminding me, OP. This is my first Pokemon and therefore my first Pikachu.

[Goodeye]

I got the 3 !!! on the pokewalker last night got the pikachu down to one last bar of life and tried to catch it. No bueno!

[1NintendoFan]

Okay, this may be a stupid question, but I'm still trying to learn all the Pokemon stuff.

I had already received the Yellow Forrest... after I connected my Pokewalker to the game the first time, it said I got it... So, is there anything special that this would give me that the other does not?

Also, how do I know if my Pikachu is a special one? I got three on the Pokewalker once I got the Yello Forrest, but I don't know if they are special or not?

Again, sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm just trying to make sure I learn everything.

If they Pikachu knows Surf or Fly, it is special

[Trillian]

You won't be able to tell if the Pikachus are special until you load them back into your game. Of course, when you do that, you lose all your watts and have to walk some more before trying it again. Try only catching Pikachus when you see two or three exclamation points on the radar. That takes awhile too, but the chances that you've got a Surf or Fly Pikachu are better that way. Just be patient.

Thanks... I will put them on and check. I know a few of them had three exclamation marks, so hopefully I got lucky :D

Thanks again!

[yayece]

Actually, you *can* sorta tell which pokemon you're getting.

First off, know that the game picks 3 pokemon when you go for your walk. One common, one semi-rare, and one rare one. If you check the Serebii page, you get one each of the A/B/C pokemon. Thus, on a particular walk, you get the Surf Pikachu, you will NOT encounter the Fly Pikachu.

When you use the Pokeradar, there are 4 different scenarios:
One !, then the encounter: Group C pokemon.
Two !'s, then the encounter: Either a group B/C pokemon.
Two !'s, one !!, then the encounter: Either a group A/B pokemon.
Two !'s, one !!, one !!!, then the encounter: Guaranteed group A pokemon.

Since you can only hold 3 pokemon, and your watts get sent to the DS whenever you sync, it's in your best interest to only capture !! and !!! pokemon.

[Trillian]

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was referencing, I was just being lazy. Thanks, yayece.

[adriley313]

Updated

[detectiveconan16]

I wish they'd give us more online pokemon. But this is fine.

[utopianmachine]

Thanks for the thread. Downloaded Winner's Path this morning. Although I've put the game down for now, I'm sure I'll return to it eventually.

[mogamer]

I'll download Winner's Path after I get home from work. I've just finished getting what I want from Scary Cave (finally caught a Marowak).

[crunchewy]

Is the Winner's Path available today or on the 9th? The OP says the 9th, but the thread title says the 6th.

EDIT: found the answer. It's today. Here's the official web site page: http://www.pokemongoldsilver.com/us/#/news/winner-path

[adriley313]

fixed it, sorry typo, my mind was think about the Yellow Forest ending on the 9th.
Sori

[62t]

Wait is the yellow forest still on? I thought it ended on the 5th

[adriley313]

Its still available til the 9th.

[62t]

Its still available til the 9th.

It is gone.

[Matarick]

I wonder if Yellow Forrest would be back after the Winner's Path WFC event?

[Bargain Hunter Bob]

It shouldn't be. Normally once they're hosted and taken down, that's the last you'll see of them. Especially since right now they are hosting in Japan for the 3 shiny legendary dogs and the movie Scizor and Jirachi.

[Droenixjpn]

So.. how do you go about getting these paths? Sorry for my noobishess, lol.

[detectiveconan16]

Click the link above to pokemon.com.

Yellow Forest is the most frustrating route for me. The odds of finding rare pokemon are freakin' low.

Hope this helps. Winner's Path download ends Friday, June 25th. Get on this quick if you want to get the map to acquire 6 Pokemon with rare moves (Magikarp w/Bounce and Wacan Berry, Duskull w/Ingrain and Reaper Cloth, Munchlax w/Selfdestruct and Leftovers, Bronzor w/Trick Room and Occa Berry, Horsea w/Muddy Water and a Dragon Scale, & Beldum w/Zen Headbutt and Shuca Berry).

[Bargain Hunter Bob]

Click the link above to pokemon.com.

Yellow Forest is the most frustrating route for me. The odds of finding rare pokemon are freakin' low.

When in the Yellow Forest, if the Pokemon you have in your Pokewalker is of the Ground, Grass, or Electric type, it reduces by 25% the number of steps required to find the more elusive Pokemon. So, you will be able to find a Flychu after 7500 steps (vs. 10000+) and a Surfachu after 7125 (vs. 9500), depending on which one of these two was randomly selected when you sent your Pokemon into the Pokewalker. Even after all of this, their percentages of appearance in the Pokewalker are low (2% for the Flying, 3% for the Surfing).

It can be frustrating, but also for the Pokemon enthusiast, can be an exciting find. I have one Flying and two Surfing (one from Battle Revolution) and while I haven't used either in battle, it's cool to know I have them.

[adriley313]

new jirachi is here

[detectiveconan16]

Hrm... It's the same Jirachi from Gamestop a while back, which is okay as well.
Now to wait for Arceus...

[KingBroly]

Aw man, I am still holding out for the Celebi event :(

[adriley313]

yes i cant wait for celebi too.
Hope its a good nature.

[maximumzero]

Ugh, I really need to start playing Pokemans again. I played Soul Silver addictively for like a week and a half after it was released but I haven't touched it since.

[Filbert]

Well now I have five Jirachi. I just wish I had some of the other event pokemon.

[Nico0020]

just got back into playing, thanks for this!

[Bargain Hunter Bob]

They have had numerous events in Japan of late. I hope that they do bring them over here to the States as well. They had the Jirachi release, in addition to the shiny Legendary Dogs, the Goon Scyzor, and soon, Ash's Pikachu.

[KingBroly]

I popped in my copy of Silver to get another Jirachi. Seriously, I want some more events already, starting with the Celebi event.

[adriley313]

i have bunch of events if u wanna trade
mainly lookin for good IV, good nature shinys that i can work magic on
Check my list
http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=222950

[CaptainJoel]

If all of you want more events why don't you pick up an Action Replay? I grabbed one back when Pearl came out and I keep an extra copy of the game that I just use for event cheats.

[adamical]

Man I almost missed Jirachi. I would've been pissed.

[Nico0020]

I'm gonna rename my save file so I can use it on the JP version of Diamond. I need to start getting the JP event pkm!

[Puffa469]

I'm not actively playing lately, but I made sure to pick this up the other day.

My wife still plays so I took her DS when she wasn't around and downloaded Jirachi.

The next day she had an amazing story of how she went into a Pokemart and a guy gave her a new Pokemon she had never seen before! lol

[yayece]

Hmm, does this not work on Heart Gold? I tried logging in today to the Nintendo WFC, but it didn't find anything.

[detectiveconan16]

They'd better release the Celebi event around October-ish, since then it will be 10 years since the game came out here.

[DarkKenpachi]

im pissed I missed Jirachi. I actually just started playing again from the days of r/b/y I got pokemon diamond. Oh well now I will keep my ear to the ground and make sure I don't miss any more events.

[adriley313]

updated with new event

[adriley313]

[D4rkewolfe]

Here's the info http://www.pokemongoldsilver.com/us/#/news/mew/

[adriley313]

[meerkatgamer]

Cool another mew. I would've liked Celebi though.. =\

[utopianmachine]

I'll have to get me that Mew later.

[adriley313]

bout to get it now

[adriley313]

what do you do if it says you have too many wonder cards
what do i do

[ItsAMeAMario]

what do you do if it says you have too many wonder cards
what do i do

You need to delete one to make room for another one.
3 wonder cards is the max at any given time that your game can carry.
Just make sure you pick up whatever mystery gift that's associated with the wonder card before you delete it.

[adriley313]

thx
i missed Enigma stone because of this

[adriley313]

anyone know if Mew has a special nature.
need to know if i can SR or not

[ItsAMeAMario]

anyone know if Mew has a special nature.
need to know if i can SR or not

Nature is not set, and will be at level 5 which makes it damn hard to figure out its IVs.:bomb:

[adriley313]

dont care bout IVs, just want a good nature
thinkin Modest

[A Happy Panda]

Does anyone update this anymore?

[maigoyume]

There haven't been any recent events and its all B+W now

[ZxT Vendetta]

There haven't been any recent events and its all B+W now

Not completely true. There are events for Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs but then again you have to complete those missions to get said pokemon.

[maigoyume]

Oh my mistake, forgot about those. For some reason I thought this was the HG/SS thread.

[adriley313]

I made this thread for main Pokemon games but i can include the other pokmeon games if someone will just PM me the details.
I will update the thread.

thx a bunch

PS how is Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs????

All of them run from October 4, 2010 to January 11, 2011 & You need to complete the mission and then you can transfer said Pokemon to your HG/SS/etc... game.


Deoxys & The Mysterious Temple - Mutiplayer only mission. Have to complete in multiplayer :bomb:. You can get 1 of the 4 forms. All level 50. To get attack form you have to complete the mission in 4 minutes or less.

Protect the Lost Shaymin - Upon completion you get a level 30 Shaymin in normal form.

[adriley313]

thx ZxT
will update thread now

[adriley313]

Funny
The events end when Kingdom Hearts and Ghost Trick come out.
Both which I pre-ordered.

[A Happy Panda]

Sooo currently there's no events for HG or SS?

Sad. I came too late to the party.

[adriley313]

not now
since Black/White is coming March

[detectiveconan16]

Well, we are to get a Scizor soon, if it counts.

And in January, we can get all three beasts from Gamestop.

[adriley313]

i have JPN Diamond so I have those events but will update the thread since you need the 3 crown beast for Black/White

[Skaughtto]

Raikou is being given away now and there's a schedule for the rest already.

[adriley313]

sori for the late update

will be adding upcoming pokemon including Ash's Pikachu from Toys'R'Us

[Hell Monkey]

I gotta go get this for my kids while I remember. How do I delete Wonder Cards if already have 2?

[adriley313]

i dont remember
ask in the pokemon thread they may know

[Rave Child]

I gotta go get this for my kids while I remember. How do I delete Wonder Cards if already have 2?Well, you can have up to three wonder cards, so you'll be able to download the Raikou without having to delete any yet. To delete a wonder card of something you've picked up, go into Mystery Gift from the start menu, and go to Check Cards, or something like that. Then you can select to delete them.

[pete5883]

I gotta go get this for my kids while I remember. How do I delete Wonder Cards if already have 2?
It's right in the menu when you go to get a new one.

[guinaevere]

updated the title. And I'm having trouble deciding if i want to keep this entei or not. he has some great numbers, except for speed..

Entei (http://pokemon.marriland.com/iv/cc=p!Entei~n!14s!1e07305a03a03a038042ne) (Adamant): 20 - 23 / 27 - 29 / 7 - 9 / 20 - 23 / 20 - 23 / 4 - 6 [AVG: 18.14]

[RabbitSuit]

I'd personally keep it. But that's just because I don't use the RNG method with the Pikatimer. I did that with the Gamestop Jirachi, and it still took me three straight hours to get a straight 31IV Adamant Jirachi... and I was trying for a Jolly one.

x.x It's a shame the nature cannot be accounted for with those event types. So a decent IV'd Adamant Entei wins in my book.

[maigoyume]

Oops almost forgot about this, thanks for the reminder OP

[Spanky]

Well it sucks that I just found out about the shiny trio being released. At least I can still grab Entei and Suicune. Is anyone willing to trade an extra shiny Raikou for an Entei? I plan to download the Entei and Suicune to each of my DS games. PM with your friend code so we can set up a possible trade if anyone is willing to do this. Can't wait for black and white in March:bouncy:

[Spanky]

Missed out on the Celebi event because I completely forgot. Anyone have a spare one they could trade?

[Gden]

You should go by your local gamestop, they don't shut it off til the nintendo rep comes to get it usually, I got mine today even though I was a day late
