As if a Suicune distribution for Europe wasn’t enough, GameStop locations across the United States began distributing the legendary Celebi today!
Up until now, Celebi hasn’t been available to most American Pokémon players, and has never been available nationwide — it was the only Pokémon with that distinction. From now through March 6th, head to your local GameStop to download this special Celebi, which will unlock a special scene when taken to the Ilex Shrine in Pokémon HeartGold and/or SoulSilver, and can be taken to Castelia City in Pokémon Black and White to obtain a Zorua.
Note that a “Gamestp Celebi” was initially scheduled to begin February 27th, but Nintendo has seemingly “recalled” those distribution cards and replaced them with this “WIN2011 Celebi,” the same one that is also being distributed on the Pokémon Black and White Tour, going on now.
CELEBI CHARACTER DISTRIBUTION OFFERS CHANCE TO CATCH NEW POKÉMON IN POKÉMON BLACK VERSION AND POKÉMON WHITE VERSION
Get a Mythical Pokémon Celebi Not Found in Normal Gameplay at GameStop Stores Nationwide
BELLEVUE, WA-February 16, 2011-Don’t let the limited chance to catch the Time Travel Pokémon Celebi pass you by! Beginning February 21, and through March 6, Pokémon fans can visit any U.S. GameStop store to receive the Mythical Pokémon Celebi through a character distribution event for their English-language copy of the Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, or SoulSilver Version games for the Nintendo DS family of systems. Not found in normal gameplay, this special Celebi also has a move that it cannot get through normal training called Nasty Plot, which greatly increases Celebi’s Special Attack stat.
This exciting distribution from The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo comes just weeks before the North American launch of the Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version video games. Receiving the special Celebi character distribution will give players the opportunity to catch the Tricky Fox Pokémon Zorua in Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version when Celebi is transferred into the game. Players will not be able to meet and catch Zorua any other way in the games! Zorua recently made its debut in the full-length movie Pokémon: Zoroark-Master of Illusions on Cartoon Network. Fans can also catch a free screening of the movie at participating theaters on the Pokémon Black Version & White Version Tour!
