    Nice. Hoping they make Arceus available over wifi for Australia and the US soon, too... and not just for the HGSS games.

    I've already got 2 Arceus's at level 2. I haven't bothered EV training them for competative play because there's always some jackass out there who just uses a pokesav to get their pokemon to level 100 with perfect EV's and Nature's. Pussieeesss.

    Nice that they're finally doing this in the UK, but the fact they don't just do it over wi-fi is rather insulting.
    At least there doing one of these near me, usually the only one they do in Scotland is in Glasgow, which is far too much of a distance for me to travel to get a single Pokemon.   (about 3 hours by train).
     
    But it seems the Dundee event isn't listed here, where as it is on GAME's website, albiet without an address.  I'll have to try and find out what's going on there.
