    Today marked the first time I had been to a GameStop in about half a year. I picked up this flyer there. 
    Ruby/Sapphire were the last versions that had the "Gotta Catch em All" tag, mainly because of promotional Pokemon. 
     
    You know the ones, rare events that you can miss and miss your chance of getting that Pokemon. FOREVER! 
     
    One of the first Pokemon seen from this generation was Zoroark, a foxlike Pokemon. 
    He isn't available in B/W normally. You have to transfer a Shiny Legendary Beast to Black and White. 
     
    Gamestop is giving these out through Mystery Gift, and (my apologies) the window for the first one has already passed. 
     But you can get Shiny Entei from the 17th through the 23rd, and Shiny Suicune from Jan 31 to Feb 6.  
     
    I got over my catch-em-all addiction after SoulSilver (Got to 300 before giving up), but I hope that this can help those of you interested in B/W. Scans Below

    You have to beat the Elite Four before you can catch any old Pokemon. 
     
     
    Also, to fuck your past up even more, this thing's ability is kinda like Porygon.

    @RecSpec: Oh actually I totally already knew that you could only get new ones before the elite four, maybe that will bring back the magic of the original since I don't know anything about any again... maybe right? Porygon is like the worst pokemon ever.

    Unfortunately, I can't do this at the mall where the closest GameStop is. So of course what I'm going to do is stand outside the store for a minute with my DS.

    If you live in Europe, these guys are being distributed over the Nintendo wi-fi from February 7th. 
    Chances are you'll be able to get them if you're in the US or Australia as well.  Just a heads up for anyone who doesn't want to go to Gamestop.

    Just an update:  
    Raikou will be available over Wi-Fi from 7th February - 13th February
    Entei will be available over Wi-Fi from 14th February - 20th February
    Suicune will be available over Wi-Fi from 21st February - 27th February     
     
    And again, these will almost certainly be available in the US and Australia, not just Europe.

    Looks like I'm gonna have to bust out the olde action replay since this is complete bullshit.
