Coming soon, the only legitimate way to catch Arceus

the_or10Finally, after years of waiting, US Pokemon fans (including Puerto Rico!) will have a legitimate means to catch Arceus.

Nintendo Power revealed the news in issue #248; the Arceus distribution will be at Toys R Us from November 7 through 15. As with previous critter handouts, you’ll just have to show up and download it over the DS WiFi.

Arceus can change its type based on certain held items, which might make it a good pinch-hitter on your team. It is the last final absolute end of the Diamond/Pearl/Platinum generation Pokedex. And if the upcoming HeartGold and SoulSilver releases follow the remake trend and do not add any new types, Arceus could be our last new pokemon for quite a while.

Up until now, odds are that if you encountered somebody with an Arceus… it was a hacked fake. So it will be nice to get a legal version of this rare beast.

    If I didn't always have to go to Toys 'R' Us for these things, maybe I'd play Pokemon more often. That's probably why so many people hack their games.
  • People hack their games because the Pokemon community is composed mainly of impatient little punk kids who continually think they've somehow beat Nintendo by uncovering some Secret Power.

    The only time I've hacked is when me and my cousin used Action Replay to make different teams so we could have something to do on a long car ride. In other cases, such as playing through the game's story or playing competitively, it really just ruins the fun.
