Today at the Museum of Science and Technology of Milan, the Italian Shaymin was distributed to Pokémon Diamond and Pearl players.

The Jirachi will be at level 5 in a cherish ball and will be holding a Liechi Berry. It will know the moves Wish, Confusion, Rest, and the special move Draco Meteor. In addition, it has been confirmed that Jirachi`s distribution won`t be exclusive to McDonald`s.

This morning marked the start of the Nintendo WFC distribution of the Secret Key item across Europe. The key is available to anyone with an English, Spanish, Italian, French, or German game, no matter where in the world they may be. Of note is that US players can download the English version of the European key; which is slightly different from the initial US distribution of the key.
It seems Nintendo is finally expanding their event territory. Last year darkrai was distributed in Japan, the US, the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Australia, and South Korea. With shaymin this year they have expanded to include Belgium, Greece, and the topic of this article, Norway & Sweden.
Unfortunately we weren’t aware of these events until recently (thanks for the heads up DarkStar), and they have already come and gone. We strongly suspect that the event and its wonder card is identical to the card already given out in the US, UK, Netherlands, and Belgium. However, if you attended the event or know someone who did it would be nice to confirm this.
The Norwegian distribution was available at GameStop stores to those who preordered Platinum starting the 15th of May. For those that didn’t, it was available from launch day until the 29th. The Swedish page has been taken down since this information was reported to us a few days ago.
On a side note there are two events coming up pretty soon that we will need your help to get. If you can/do get them, please let us know in this thread on the forums.
Berlin VGC Milotic - June 13th - Andel’s Hotel
Italian Shaymin - June 13th - Museo della Scienza e della Tecnica di Milano (Museum of Science and Technology in Milan)
Italian Shaymin (same as above, different day) - June 27 - Bioparco di Roma (Bioparco zoo in Rome)
Yesterday was United Kingdom`s qualifier tournament for the 2009 Pokémon Video Game Championships. At the tournament, a Milotic was distributed. There are three differences between this Milotic and the one distributed in the USA. First, the ID of the UK Milotic is 05309 as opposed to 05099. Next, the WC ID of this Milotic is 179 as opposed to 154. Finally, the Milotic distributed in the UK was only available to Pokémon Diamond and Pearl as opposed to the US one which was only distributed to Pokémon Platinum.
Since this European Milotic was different than the American one, we can assume that the ones to be distributed in Paris and Berlin will be different. We hope someone will be attending those events! Thanks for reading.
As promised, the wonder card of the Milotic distributed at this year`s Video Game Championships is now available for download. The Milotic is the first shiny Pokémon event to be distributed in the USA for Pokémon Platinum. Many thanks to NulMyre for uploading the wonder card!
In addition, tournaments will also be held in London, UK (May 30), Berlin, Germany (June 13) and Paris, France (June 20). If anyone is attending any of the European VGC qualifiers, please keep in mind that the Milotics distributed there will be different. It would be greatly appreciated if you could upload the European VGC Milotic wonder cards!

About 2 weeks ago, the Official Pokémon of Korea Website posted information about their Battle Series 2009 tournament. I had been waiting for someone to properly translate the information on the website, but due to the lack of Korean translators, all that is known is that an event Arcanine will be distributed at the tournament finals on June 6th and June 7th.
Dates and rules about the tournament are available on the site. Since Pokémon Platinum is not yet available in Korea and no official release date has been scheduled, players must either have Pokémon Diamond or Pearl version and a DS to enter.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more information. Click the image to the right to enlarge it. Thank you to Vert and Punky for informing me.
UPDATE: Thanks to our members chycorita and wraith89, more info is now known about the event. Only those who watch or participate in the Division A or Division B competition of Pokémon Battle Series 2009 will receive the Arcanine. The Arcanine is going to be distributed by Nintendo of Korea and you will need a DS as well as a legitimate copy of Pokémon Diamond or Pearl Korean version to obtain the event.
Thanks to your contributors lugialucario, Nirron and Miles, we now have both the Shaymin distributed in France and the Dutch Shaymin distributed in Belgium available for download on the European Event Download Page. The Dutch Shaymin from Belgium is identical to the one distributed in the United Kingdom, however the Wonder Card distribution date is different. We don`t know if the French Shaymin from Belgium is identical to the one distributed in France, but it most likely is. Click the in-game image of the French Shaymin to the right to visit Shaymin`s entry in our newly added French Pokédex. Enjoy!
The Official Pokemon Website and leaked Famitsu scans revealed new information about the role of Pichu and Arceus in Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver.

There is no word as to whether or not a new Pichu forme will be introduced.
In addition, more info regarding an in-game event activated by the 12th movie Arceus has also been announced for Pokemon Platinum. If you have this Arceus in your party, you can find the Hiker in Oreburgh Mine and he will tell you about his studies regarding philosophy and legends. As he leaves, he will give you the Flame Plate. You can then meet him at the Canalave Library where he will tell you the legend of the creation of Sinnoh.

Today, the official Shaymin mini website of Europe was updated with information detailing the distribution of Shaymin in France - the last of the European countries to get their distribution dates. Distribution of Shaymin will begin on May 15th 2009, however no end date has been specified. The Mystery Gift will be available to both Diamond and Pearl Versions. Shaymin will be distributed at a total of 13 stores all across France:
Thanks to our frequent contributor NTR-AAQE-USA we have the wonder card of the lucario doll secret base item. You can download it here. This event is ongoing at all Pokemon Centers in Japan; if you live in the region stop by before the end of May and get one for yourself.
You`ll notice when you load this PCD and PGT in pokesav that the item is labeled as seal 118. This is simply a mislabeling, the item is not a seal. You can pick it up at a pokemart like any other WC; upon doing so it will be sent to your secret base PC, which is only accessible from your secret base in the Sinnoh Underground.
This is just a heads-up that you should redownload the North American Secret Key WC. The card was accidentally saved with pokesav .40c, which screwed up the part of the card that determines which versions it can be sent to.
Just incase you didn`t see the article about this bug before our move, here it is again:
The PKM Database recently discovered a fairly significant bug in all versions of Pokesav .40c (Pokesav Platinum .06d does not have the bug) that you should all be made aware of, as it just might affect the legitimacy of your wonder cards. The bug is in how Pokesav reads a wonder card, either directly from the save or when importing a PCD file. If a file that is supposed to be available to any cart (that means Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum) is loaded, Pokesav will read it as being available to Diamond and Pearl only. This can affect the legitimacy of wonder cards that are supposed to be available to all three games because when the PCD is saved or written to the save it will be saved the way it’s read. This means the part that says the game is available to Platinum will be erased, and I don’t think anyone wants that. Fortunately for us, this is only a minor inconvenience once people are aware of it and how to fix it.
Fixing it is simple, just check the platinum checkbox and it will write/save the PCD with the correct value; apparently the bug is only in the read part. Make sure to tell your friends; we don’t want any hacked wonder cards floating around.
Thanks to our members Hilikus and NTR-AAQE-USA we now have the German Shaymin wonder card! The video, included below, gives details regarding the event. Even though the Pokémon was distributed starting from April 25th 2009, its ID is 04019. Also, if you open up the PKM or WC in a SAV editing program, you will notice that the country of origin is "France". This is an error Nintendo made while making the wonder card. The PKM and WC are available for download on the European Events Download list.
Yesterday, the European Shaymin mini website released the dates of distribution for the Italian Shaymin. There will be a total of three distributions taking place.

The next distribution will take place on June 13th 2009 in the Museum of Science and Technology of Milan located in Milan, Italy. Finally, the third distribution will be near the zoological garden of Rome, Italy ("Bioparco di Roma") on June 27th 2009.
We would also like to point out that yesterday two more dates were listed but have since been removed on the official website. These dates were July 18th and July 19th 2009 at the Pokémon Day Event in Mirabilandia, Italy. There is no word as to whether the distribution will still be taking place at the Pokémon Day Event or why the site took down that date. Stay tuned for more information! Thanks for reading and thank you to RJFLA for helping translate the info.
The official Nintendo of Europe website updated today and released information regarding the distribution of Shaymin in both Belgium and the Netherlands. Shaymin will be distributed in the Netherlands at Toys XL on May 22nd and May 23rd.

For a complete list of cities that will be distributing the Shaymin in the Netherlands, please click here.
Nintendo of Europe`s Shaymin page has two different languages for Belgium - one in French and one in Dutch. As such, Shaymin will be distributed at two different stores during different time periods. One distribution will be from May 9th to May 22nd at Game Mania stores, a predominant slew of Dutch game stores in Belgium. The second distribution will be at Cora stores, a chain of primarily French game oriented stores in Belgium, from May 12th to May 23rd.

A few days ago, the official Pokémon website announced that the Lucario Wakuwaku Fair (ルカリオわくわくフェア) will be taking place at all Pokémon Centers in Japan during the month of May.

Thanks for reading and sorry for this late news update! Hopefully we will get our hands on this Lucario decoration.

According to Legendary Pokémon and Nintendo of Greece, Greece will have its first ever Pokémon Video Game Championship via Nintendo Wi-Fi. This is the first Pokémon event that is taking place in cooperation with a fansite. Since the championship will be on Nintendo Wi-Fi, residents outside of Greece can participate in the championship by registering here.
The winner of the championship will win a variety of prizes including a Pokemon themed kit bag and stylus for Nintendo DS Lite. In addition, the four finalists will be among the first in Greece to receive a Shaymin from the offices of Nintendo`s affiliate Nortec Multimedia. It is unknown if the Shaymin will be exclusively available to residents of Greece or if it will be distributed wirelessly. The official article on Nintendo of Greece`s website gives more detail about the championship and its rules.
Thanks for reading! Hopefully we can get our hands on that Shaymin. The registration deadline for the championship is April 20th and matches will commence on April 21st.
It is April 18th in Japan today and this not only marks the release date of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 3: Explorers of the Sky, but it is also the day Oak`s Letter is available for download via Nintendo`s Wi-Fi Connection. If you have Wi-Fi and a copy of Pokémon Platinum Japanese Version, you will be able to download this key item from April 18th to May 11th. Oak`s Letter allows you to capture a level 30 Shaymin at Route 224. This Shaymin, unlike the ones distributed via Mystery Gift, can be legitimately shiny because it follows a different PID-IV algorithm.
If you can`t download this Shaymin during the given time period, Project Pokémon has the wonder card available for download here thanks to Kris and PropagandaPanda! Thanks for reading and enjoy Shaymin!
Thanks to our member Mewtwo2000 who dropped by a GAME store today, we now have the Spanish Shaymin wonder card! The video, included below, gives details regarding the event. Even though the Pokémon was distributed starting from April 15th 2009, its ID is 04019. The PKM and WC are available for download on the European Events Download Page. The Shaymin`s OT, Peli11, is short for "película 11" which means "Movie 11". This event ends in Spain on May 15th 2009.
Since this Shaymin`s wonder card has special accented characters, you will have to use Project Pokémon`s PCD Safe to load the wonder card. However, if you just want to soft reset for the Pokémon itself, you only need to use the PGT. Alternatively, you can just download the Shaymin PKM we have available on the site. Thanks for reading!
