Also if you need any help on this just PM me and I'll be happy to help.

Well as far as I know EB Games and Gamestops in Canada aren't giving away the Pikachu-colored Pichu, either. Maybe to be safe I'll drop by my closest store (a Gamestop, as it happens) tomorrow and ask the guy working in there, though. Couldn't hurt, I guess.

lol when I asked the guy who worked in the EB games near my place; he said he didn't know anything about it.

EBGames is just soo unorganized here in Canada. (at least the one near my place is..)

That's very strange. I may drive to my local Best Buy tomorrow evening on my way home, and switch on my DS to give a listen for event signals. Though as Best Buy Canada wasn't mentioned on Pokemon.com, Nintendo.com, or Nintendo.ca I'm highly skeptical.

Thats what I don't get either. I mean like if it was mentioned there I would've went straight to Best Buy instead of EB Games. -.-

Hmm I don't remember you but welcome back anyways!

Yeah thats the one I was talking about. My parents would drive me there but like the only times I've been there is Christmas/Boxing Day and there were no events on those dates.

There are at least 70 TRU locations across the country; 29 of those in Ontario alone. In the Greater Toronto Area there are 3 stores in Toronto proper, 1 in Etobicoke, 1 in Scarborough, 1 in North York, and 2 in Mississauga.

k I didn't know there were that many lol. But I live in Montreal and theres not even one near my place, its pretty far, at least a one and a half hour drive away and even longer by bus.

Are you saying your friend got a Pickachu-colored Pichu at a Canadian Best Buy? Or is this an American friend? Maybe it was someone who got the WC from this site, made a distro ROM and hung around in a Best Buy parking lot, lol. I have to admit I've often been tempted to do that outside of a EB Games or Gamespot here, when yet another event comes along that they don't get. Someone might as well distribute the thing, if they're not going to.

Yes. He got it from a Canadian Best Buy according to him and I found it funny because Nintendo never said anything about that so I don't really believe him but it could be true.

I love all of them, I am a big MegaMan fenatic and have pretty much enjoyed every Megaman game I've played. Legends gets major respect points for being so different, quirky, and awesome. Legends is what megaman should continue on to become, instead of being held back as a 2d game...not that there is anything wrong with that.

Blue Hues. Honestly, my eyes are far more comfortable when the site is blue. The red is kinda annoying if you know what I mean. D;

Or you can show your support through your wallet. Does your toys r us have a massive amount of Pokemon merchandise? If not, that might be an indication that Pokemon doesn't sell well in Canada (remember, the point of the events is to promote and get stuff sold; not just games, but anime DVDs, toys, etc...).

Toys R Us is a much better place to do an event than Gamestop because they sell all those things. Gamestop only sells games, and they don't even carry that many copies and anything older than 2 years or so relies on used games being traded in. Compare that to TRU, where I still see a copy of R/S/E every now and then.

So while in addition to telling TRU, start buying this merch to show that there is interest in Pokemon events. You can buy crap at Gamestop too, but meh, I doubt it'll make much difference. Gamestops are horribly disorganized and, as I mentioned before, ownership can be screwy. Since TPCi mentioned Toys R Us in their e-mail, that means that's where they're trying to go.

I pretty much agree with this but you know theres not many TRU's in Canada, the last place I saw TRU was like on the other side of Montreal and I'm not going that far just to get an event.

They also held an event at Best Buy where one of my friends got a Pikachu Colored Pichu ; Its funny cause I didn't see them mentioning Best Buy. Theres other stores in Toronto as well where people could get the event and it isn't Gamestop nor Best Buy, I don't really remember the names..So yeah gamestop/ebgames isn't the only store that holds the events. I only go there because its the closest.

Based on past events, much of Europe will get this eventually. You guys never get it at the same time as the US, though.

The real question is when will Canada get an event? Europe only gets them a bit later... we never get them at all.

True statement here.

Gamestop here in Canada is EB Games and its in the local mall near my place. I'll take the bus this time. Last time I had to get a ride and it took 4 hours to get there.

I chose Dragonite mainly because the red layout wouldn't look so good with a blue Suicune.

I don't have the game yet but the feature that I look forward to is obviously the "Pokemon follow you" feature. I liked this feature when I used to play Pokemon Yellow and its awesome that they brought it back in HGSS! The other feature I like is the Pokewalker, I walk around a lot and I can certainly put that around my belt and level up Pokemon. :> Oh and probably one of my favorite feature of all time is that you're able to go to Kanto after you've finished the Johto region, it just makes the game longer which is what I always wanted.

I'm just curious of what new legendary Pokemon they'll release. They already released the "God" Pokemon and it did not look all that strong in the anime. Oh and I wonder if they'll release a new Eeveelution(s)? Japan is so lucky.
