Nintendo announces new “enigmatic” Pokemon download event

With all the fanfare surrounding Pokémon Black and White, I almost forgot HeartGold and SoulSilver existed! Luckily, Nintendo didn’t. They’ve just announced a new download event, going on now until August 27. Players can obtain the Enigma Stone, used to hunt and capture the elusive Legendary Pokémon Latias or Latios. In exchange for the Enigma Stone, they’ll also receive the Soul Dew, essential to powering up the Special Attack and Special Defense of the Latias or Latios. Sign in to your wireless Internet connection to start the adventure.

Pokémon and Nintendo Offer Limited Wi-Fi Distribution For Chance to Catch Elusive Pokémon

July 28, 2010 -PokémonTMTrainers get ready to unlock the secrets of the Enigma Stone as The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo of America Inc. introduce a limited distribution via the Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection service. Beginning this Saturday, July 31, through Friday, August 27, players of Pokémon HeartGold and Pokémon SoulSilverVersions who have wireless broadband Internet access can receive the Enigma Stone for a chance to catch the amazing, yet elusive, Legendary Pokémon LatiasTM or LatiosTM.
