Hi!
I wondering if you can help.. I've missed the other beasts but I'd really like Suicune, I'm in the UK and I don't have wireless, so what do I have to do exactly? @_@ On the link you've given, am I looking for the green or blue icons? Thanks >u< <3

Heya! On the map, find where you are (in spite of all the annoyingly huge blue icons getting in your way) and zoom in until you can see individual icons, instead of ones that say "100+" or something.

I know it says the blue ones are paid and the green ones free, but I think that just means the green ones are available for everyone, and the blue ones just for customers. The ones near me are all blue, so I can't test this theory, but the Wi-Fi there was free (although I guess they'd be annoyed if you just stuck around without buying anything). So I'm pretty sure either colour is fine.

If you mouse-over an icon, and then click "More info" under the speech bubble (actually, I recommend opening it in a new tab, so you won't have to zoom in again if it's not DS-friendly), it'll tell you the address and connection options.

Under Connection Options, you're looking for "Nintendo Wi-Fi Zone" in the Service Provider column. (Or go to the list of Nintendo Wi-Fi places and narrow it down to your area

Oh you are a star! <3
Thank you so much, I totally understand it now ^___^

I'm going to pop to a pub tomorrow to try and get my Suicune<3

Thank you for taking the time to reply to me! <3

Great, I'm glad my random waffling made sense :) No problem! ^_^ Good luck! I really hope it works for you.

It's also annoying how our events are more often than not put together with another country -it's like we're not important enough to have our own events -and yet other countries like America who often get both in-store and wifi-events of the same event are still able to get extras from us.

Hmmm well Australian fans were able to get the FALL2010 Mew so hopefully we will also be able to get the Celebi. Remember that Nintendo Australia is really slow at updating, so I'm not really concerned about missing out on the event, if anything we probably won't hear about the event until just before it's due to start. So in other words we could receive news any day now, assuming that we will get it in February like everyone else.

Although I suppose they could make us wait until after the March 10 -April 22 Victini event, which is quite likely because we had to wait like over a month after the American distribution before we got the WIN2011 Crown Beasts.

You are an absolute dear for posting reminders!

Question: Do you have any information regarding the Time Traveling Event in HG/SS with the Celebi they are giving away at Gamestop?

[firebrand164]

Aw, thanks :) Sure, the details are here here (has spoilers).

If you want to avoid spoilers: Take the Celebi to Ilex Forest, put it at the top of your party and interact with the shrine there. Warning: You'll want to be prepared for a battle with level 40-50 Pokemon, and you won't have a chance to switch your Celebi out of the top spot beforehand.

(If you transfer the Celebi to B/W, you can also use it to get a Zorua - details here.)
