Meanwhile in Japan, Global Link users will have the opportunity to obtain an Altaria and a Blissey later this month. Shoppers can also vote in stores on a mascot Pokemon which will be available for download early next year.
Starting next month, the Nintendo WiFi Connection will be giving away a special Victini, the same as was distributed in Japan for the release of the 14th movie(s).
On a related note, the V for Victini Sweepstakes began yesterday. Weekly prizes include toys and TCG tins, and the grand prize adds a 3DS and Black & White!

Thanks for the update jigglypuff. It's 3:30 in the morning and i have school, but stupid me wanted to check up for news. XD Anyway I'm really hoping to win the pokemon sweepstakes...personally i've never even won a stupid game of Bingo in my life, so this would be a first. Good luck to you all in the sweepstakes, though. :) And lastly i really want the 3DS. Looking forward to playing zelda and mario. But i will NEVER stop playing pokemon mystery dungeon games and all of their precious awesomness :'D
Okay, i checked the 'vote to befriend a pokemon' rankings. Here's how it came out: 1. Arceus 2. Ditto (yay!) 3. Mew 4. Deoxys 5. Darkrai 6. Celebi 7. Raquaza 8. Shaymin 9. Pikachu 10. Jirachi I don't think anything under ranking 5 will have much of a chance to rise to number 1 by the end of the month. But then again, who knows? I'm really hoping for Ditto to win. It has an ability you can only get in the dream world (imposter), and if Ditto wins, we can all have a Ditto with that ability.(please vote for Ditto.)
Why are people voting for Ditto? I know about it's ability but I don't understand why people are voting for Ditto. It's ability transforms. Why are some people voting for Ditto? Go, Deoxys :)
Because people in America actually want something good. Another Legend like Arceus, Deoxys, Mew, etc would just be boring. We already lost hopes for Zapdos(Which would have been amazing to use in the Rain) now all we have left to go for is Ditto, as everyone else outside of the top 5 right now probably isn't going to win. Ditto is the best choice right now out of the top 5 pokemon, because Ditto will actually be usable for Battling to help scout teams and revenge kill.
I hope to complete my dex for once so unubtainable by normal means legendaries are on my priorities list Mew, Jirachi, and Celebi, where only marked off about a year ago. so I understand where Oshachu is coming from. Ditto with instant transform is cool but its not on my priority list (that and with all new areas showing up it will probably be ubtainable through dream world sooner or later.)
Attention people who don't know about Ditto's Dream World Ability, Imposter: It's an automatic Transform. As soon as Ditto is sent onto the field, it turns into an EXACT copy (bar held item and HP stat) of the opponent. By the way, this includes any stat boosts. If you give Ditto a Choice Scarf, it would be a gamble, but it would ALWAYS be faster than the opponent unless it also had a Choice Scarf, which you can probably predict. Ditto is now the perfect revenge killer against sweepers. Let's say you're going up against a Haxorus that used Dragon Dance or Swords Dance a couple times, Ditto would copy its stats After the boosts, which means you would be at a tie for power. However, because Ditto is now 50% faster after the speed boost, just Outrage Hax to death and BAM, your opponent now has a terrible chance of winning. Arceus is the exact same. As always. And so is Mew. Sure, they're cool and we can already obtain Ditto, but everyone who's competitive wants this as an option SO b
I completely agree with your thinking! Although, I do enjoy a good ol' fashioned battle every once and a while! See, I even have some sentimental values with Mew, and I would love to have one that is legit.
Spoinkable, i agree with you 100%. But i also agree with anyone who thinks arceus should not win. It's the same as always, and a bunch of people are offering wifi trade for arceus already. And if you havnt already gotten some events arceus's or gotten one from a friend, surely you can trade one from your old game? The other choices are clearly better.(ditto i think being the most useful with its ability) I would rather you vote for magikarp than arceus. As the rankings go down, it becomes less likely for that pokemon to be the winner. Therefore, if everyone who hasn't voted yet votes for ditto, its very likely it will win. And then, not only will many people get their #1 choice, lots of people will be happy arceus didn't win. If the rest of the non-voters vote for mew, deoxys, darkrai etc, there's a chance they wont rise to winner and will stack up #2 instead, leaving arceus winner. :( Please vote for ditto.
Well i'm speechless! :O right after i sent that comment about me rather having you vote for magikarp than arceus, i checked the rankings again and MAGIKARP HAS MADE IT TO NUMBER 6. Anyone who was hoping for a pokemon ranked 5 or higher, well, those pokemon are ranked the same as before. It isn't the same for rankings 6 and under though: 6. Magikarp 7. Celebi 8. Rayquaza 9. Pikachu 10. Mudkip I know you can all check the rankings yourselves, but just in case you don't wanna, here are some extra rankings: 11. Shaymin 12. Charizard 13. Jirachi 14. Lugia 15. Mewtwo
Please note that the Victini Mystery Gift in Japan beginning 3rd December also covers the U.K., (I got it on both of my games this morning), plus possibly Europe and Australia.
